Welcome to Tuscany Tune Up, an easy way for university students, software developers, and web enthusiasts to try out open source development on one of the hottest technologies around - Apache Tuscany. Tuscany is a Service Oriented Architecture, an enabling technology for all sorts of business services to talk to each other and share business information. What's interesting is that Tuscany allows all sorts of underlying technology to talk over many protocols (HTTP, Atom, web services, JMS) in a seemless way, whether implemented in Java, BPEL, SCA, Java or scripting languages such as Groovey or JScript. Tuscany is used by many top corporations on many state-of-the art web sites.
