Juval Löwy: Why Every Class Should Be a Service

Juval Löwy has pioneered a method of building service-oriented applications in which each class represents a service onto itself. While these applications may initially seem like 'class explosion', they are actually the product of a truly decomposed system; one that has been properly analyzed and designed. Juwal explains his intent and describes how development teams can improve from this process.
