Finally, details about Oslo are being made public..... For those of you who are not at PDC, here are some links you may want to check out: The Oslo dev center is now live: http://msdn.microsoft.com/e... Cool new Oslo site from Connected Systems Div (see the cartoon “history of modeling” spoof video): http://modelsremixed.com/ This is a start. There will be a lot more in days/weeks/years to follow. Ladies and gentlemen of the dev community, fasten your seatbelts, you are about to...
I'll be at the SOA Symposium in Amsterdam next week, and am really excited about it. Amsterdam's a great place, I've been there a few times, and this is looking like it will be a really good event. I could do without yet-another trans-Atlantic flight, but, I'm getting pretty good at doing them. At the Symposium, I'll be doing: My first-ever public-facing Oslo presentation, and to the best of my knowledge the second-ever conference presentation on Oslo by a non-Microsoft person (my friend David Chappell...
As we head towards the PDC later this month, Microsoft today pre-announced some of the things you can expect to see there. To meet the evolving needs of service-oriented applications, Microsoft is extending the capabilities of Windows Server, by adding a set of capabilities, "Dublin", aimed at making it easier to deploy, manage and monitor WF/WCF applications. For developers creating WF-based solutions, this is great news, because it means you will get an enterprise-grade runtime environment to host...
I'm a bit late because of my extended bout of 100% travel, much of it disconnected, but I thought I'd do a post about this anyhow because it is a very significant piece of news. Microsoft has announced that what was previously being called BizTalk Server 2006R3 has been renamed to BizTalk Server 2009. Why is this announcement important? Because, if you've been following my blog and others, you know that Oslo and a wave of other technologies is heading towards us, and that there will be a first-release...
OK, keeping with the recent theme, here's another entry in my travel blog :) Very soon I will get back to technical posts, I have some pent-up ones waiting to be written, some about BizTalk and some about Oslo, so stay tuned! We recently completed the design/planning stage for the Jordanian government ESB project. It has been an honor to work with such a talented team, and as part of the planning process we did a non-trivial amount of development, solving some very tough problems along the way. I...
I'm not sure when my blog turned into a travel blog, but I think I may have found what I'll do as my next career :) I've been very fortunate that work has taken me to interesting places, and I am able to jump off and see other interesting places. A few weeks ago I went to Dubai on my way home from Amman Jordan (where I'm working on a country-scale ESB project for Microsoft and the Jordanian government). I'm writing this in a taxi as my wife and I head to Petra (Jordan) for the weekend, then I work...
And so it begins.... On October 8th, I will be presenting "A Preview of Microsoft Oslo" at the SOA Symposium conference in Amsterdam. I have been fortunate to have been involved in the Oslo process since it began. And now, as we move closer to parts of it becoming real, we are allowed to talk publicly about it. I'm super-excited about this presentation, as I have been given permission by MSFT to present material that has previously only been shown internally, and I even have some tool prototype screenshots...
[[ OK, I am writing this with tongue-in-cheek, which for anyone not familiar with that term, means "not really serious"!!! ]] Funny thing happened today on the ESB project that I'm on.... After a day of hard work, solving some really tough technical challenges (the kind that makes your head throb, your eyes glaze over and make you think that becoming a carpenter could be a smart career move), I leaned back in my chair and surveyed the landscape (my desk). A piece of tattered paper caught my eye,...
This article appeared in eWeek a couple of days ago, I wanted to ensure that people following Oslo's progress on my blog are aware of it, it's a good read. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Ap... We're in for a fun ride over the next few years, come PDC this October, it will get really interesting… Technorati Tags: Oslo,ESB,BizTalk,SOA...
I'm actually back in town for a couple of weeks. Good thing too, as tonight at the San Diego .NET User Group Mike Culver of Amazon will be telling us all about Amazon's efforts in cloud computing. If you haven't had any exposure to cloud computing, or don't even know what it is, you should look into it. This looks like it could be a Big Next Thing. Amazon, Microsoft and all the others are investing heavily in the space, and it really enables a bunch of things we never could have done before. For...
During the Bill Gates keynote here at TechEd, and during Oliver Sharp's presentation on Microsoft's vision and strategy for Connected Systems, it was announced that there will be a public community technology preview (CTP) of *some* of the Oslo stack at PDC this fall. This is the first public announcement of any kind of release dates. Before you get too excited, remember that Oslo is a very ambitious and far-reaching project. What will be released in the fall will likely only be step down that path,...
Next week marks the start of TechEd US in Orlando, which is always a fun conference to be at. I'll be there, presenting a session on Friday in the SOA track: "Technical Drilldown into Microsoft's ESB Guidance". The SOA track is packed with great sessions, this should be a really good TechEd. If you're going the following week to TechEd IT Pro, Allan Naim of Microsoft will be doing a session on the ESB Guidance. Hope to see you at TechEd Developer, I'll be there all week, hanging out, seeing old friends,...
I'm part of a curriculum advisory panel for California State University for an upcoming SOA program. As part of that, I spoke with someone there recently, relating real-world experiences, in a rather wide-ranging conversation. I started thinking "gee, I should write some of this down, it could be a good blog post". So, here it is! I'll start off by saying that I could probably write a book about this, and there's likely a bazillion of my peers that could co-author. Many have already written books...
Last year I went to Jordan to work with Microsoft on an ESB proof-of-concept for the Jordanian government. The press release below explains how it ended :) I am really excited about this project. We have a stellar team forming around this project, and some very cool work ahead. . Keep scrolling down, there are some good photos further down! Here's a picture from the contract signing: Here's a picture of Bill Gates and His Excellency the minister at the official contract signing kicking off this project...
I'll be doing a webcast next Friday on Microsoft's ESB Guidance. It will be recorded if you can't make it live. This will be the first in a series, but I am not going to commit to future dates yet as I have a ton of things going on and am looking at 80%+ travel for an extended period of time. I will however be doing more webcasts. Future topics will be more advanced, include themes such as a deeper drilldown into SOA governance, extending the ESB Guidance, etc. Details for this first webcast are:...
By now many of you will have heard the announcement for BizTalk Server 2006 R3. You can read about it on Steve Martin's blog. In addition to being a "synching" release that enables compatibility with SQL 2008 and VS.NET 2008, the high points (from the post) are: New web service registry capabilities with support for UDDI (Universal Description Discovery and Integration) version 3.0 Enhanced service enablement of applications (through new and enhanced adapters for LOB applications, databases, and...
Some quick notes: Tomorrow (Mar 11 2008) my friend and all-round rock star Michele Leroux-Bustamante will be speaking at the Connected Systems SIG of the San Diego .NET User Group. We will meet at the Microsoft La Jolla office, 6:00 for pizza and networking, 6:30 for the meeting. Wednesday Chris Romp and I take our critically-acclaimed (we're critical, and we acclaim it :)) BizTalk Development Best Practices show to the Orange County Connected Systems User Group meeting (Microsoft Technology Center,...
There was a message at the Codeplex site from someone having issues doing a simple "receive file from folder, do dynamic endpoint resolution and deliver message". I threw together a little sample showing how this works, and blogged about it in case others need this too. The moving parts involved are: receive location using the ItineraryReceivePassthrough pipeline dynamic send port using the ItinerarySendPassthrough pipeline How it works: the message is received the ESB Dispatcher Disassembler calls...
There are a few things coming up over the next couple of weeks in San Diego that may be of interest: Tonight, Feb 12, I will be doing a presentation on Microsoft's ESB Guidance at the San Diego .NET User Group meeting of the Connected Systems SIG. We will meet at the Microsoft office in La Jolla, 6:00 for pizza, meeting starts at 6:30. I'll probably go for a couple of hours, more if you want, because that's what a SIG is all about! Tuesday, February 26, Mickey Williams (MVP, author, Neudesic Technical...
For the past year or so I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Thomas Erl on a couple of forthcoming SOA/ESB books (I'll post more details when we get closer -- soon I hope!), that are part of his Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing series of books. Another one of the books in the series that he's currently working on is SOA Design Patterns (to be release in May 2008). I've already contributed a bit, and am working on further contributions. You can help too! There is a public review...
Consultants (like me) tend to exist in very different worlds than enterprise architects and developers. We get exposure across a broad range of companies, flitting from site to site, solving problems, spewing wisdom, and moving on. That’s a great position to be in as you get to see a lot of different business problems and solutions. That’s also sometimes a not-so-good position as you see people struggling, often with the same problems, and coming up with solutions that can vary wildly in both approach...
As I posted here, I had the honor of doing an MSDN Geekspeak last month with Lynn Langit and Glen Gordon. It was a lot of fun, a very casual conversation, covering two of my favorite areas of sub-specialization: BizTalk BAM, and ESB. The recording is now available at http://channel9.msdn.com/Sh... As a follow-up, to that presentation, among other things I showed a higher level API I had created over the BAM API. One of the audience members asked if I could publish it, so....
There's a cool new resource out there that acts as a central registry for bloggers that are blogging about BizTalk, WCF, WF, SOA, ESB (which pretty much covers everything I think about all day long :)) and related technologies and topics. If you look at the names of the bloggers, you'll see the top names in this space, so this will surely become a great resource for Oslo content too as we enter that exciting era. You can now go to a single point and get an aggregated view across a wide breadth of...
The San Diego .NET User Group Connected Systems SIG is doing what I think will be a pretty cool meeting next week. It's a SIG, so it will be casual, with Chris and I sharing tips and techniques we've learned in our travels, over time, and across multiple client sites and projects. The meeting will start at 6:30 at Microsoft's La Jolla office (pizza at 6:00). The user group Web site is SanDiegoDotNet.com. If you do BizTalk development and are in San Diego, I think you'll find this an informative event....
I normally don’t post job listings here (we’re growing too fast, I wouldn’t be able to keep up!), however, if you read my blog, then it follows that you are likely interested in SOA, BizTalk, Enterprise Service Bus, so, you fall into the category of people that could potentially be a fit. Neudesic’s Neuron team continues to grow, and it’s super-exciting to see the growth and all the good work coming from them. We’re looking for a couple of talented engineers to come on board and not only join a highly...
OK, so it’s short notice, but….. I have a couple of events I’d like to mention here: 1) Tomorrow night (Dec 12 2007) will be the second meeting of the San Diego .NET User Group Connected Systems SIG. Chris Romp, Microsoft Technology Specialist for BizTalk, SOA and Process Platform in Southern California, will be presenting “What’s new in BizTalk Server 2006R2". Meeting will be at the Microsoft office in La Jolla at 6:00PM. Details (and mailing list sign-up) at http://SanDiegoDotNet.com 2) On Wednesday...
