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.

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.

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....
