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...

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,...

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:...

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...

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...
