I had a little hickup today as I was playing around exploring Web services and Windows Azure. After scanning the Internet, I'm now convinced that most people out there working with Azure are hosting Web apps up there, not Web services, based on the amount of articles I found (unless of course people doing services just aren't talking about it because it's just soooo easy :)). Perhaps it was just my search terms, or maybe that's what most people start with, but I found this interesting and thought...

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...
The announcement has not gone out yet, but.... I will be doing an Oslo presentation on Tuesday at the main meeting of the San Diego .NET User Group. This is a bit impromptu, as it turned out I would be home the week of the meeting (somewhat a rarity as I have been home for one week out of eight), the meeting is on Tuesday, and on Monday Microsoft will start to talk about, and show, Oslo to the world. So, we looked at all those things and decided to modify the meeting. Thanks to Scott Reed of Developmentor...
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...
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 have been playing around with the Live Mesh Community Techology Preview, and have been doing what I think is some pretty cool stuff with it (as a consumer), so I thought I'd post something about it. First off, and let's get this out of the way up front, this is NOT "another Ray Ozzie Notes/Groove". What's available today looks and feels like Groove (or FolderShare), but that's only because this is the first implementation of something written on top of the Mesh Operating Environment (MOE). Today...
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...
I came across an unusual requirement earlier this year while at a leading golfing industry company: We needed to retrieve current tournament standings from the PGA Web site, pulling scores and statistics from them by FTP every 2 minutes while the tournaments were in progress. Ultimately, the standings would trickle through to a data-driven Web site. The interesting part here was the pickup location, there was a predefined FTP folder structure, with a separate folder for each tournament (the files...
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 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...
This post is a distinct departure from my usual BizTalk/ESB/SOA/etc-type posts . This gets into another area I'm pretty passionate about: media, e-home, and being wired. I had a conversation with a fellow geek frequent traveler recently, and was surprised to find out that not everybody was doing things to the extreme I was, so that inspired me to do a follow up post to my Media Center post (recap: while Vista was in beta I decided to charge out and build, from CPU up, a home Media Center PC). I’m...
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...
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...
I’d like to thank everyone that attended tonight’s Connected Systems SIG meeting of the San Diego .NET User Group, focused on BizTalk development best practices. It was a great meeting, with a great turnout, and I think a good time was had by all. In fact, Chris and I though it went so well that we’re going to do the same presentation at the SoCal Code Camp in Fullerton later this month. As promised, here’s a list of the links I showed, compiled from the resources slides, enjoy! BizTalk Product Website:...
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...
