During my preparation for my Tech Ed talk on BizTalk Server port binding options, I wanted to write a PowerShell script to help me manage the transitions from one demo to another. For the most part, I was looking for a way to quickly enable / disable...

I got a chance a few weeks ago to sit down with Jeff Brand at the local Microsoft office and talk about something I love - Connected Systems. We discussed Workflow and Biztalk, WCF and web services and how it all fits together. Jeff is fun to talk to...

I've been teaching mostly WF and WCF lately, so I'm excited that in a couple of weeks (April 22) I'll be getting a chance to teach our core BizTalk course again in the lovely city of Chicago. I'm excited because there is a lot of cool stuff for this particular...

I recently got to sit down with some local smart guys here in Minneapolis and we chatted about REST versus SOA. It wasn't any kind of religious discussion, but it was fun to talk to people who build apps and work with developers every day to hear what...

Hot off the presses, you can get it now from MSDN subscriber downloads or the trial version . See Soma's blog for more details on the new features, etc. Surprisingly, being a WF and BizTalk guy, I'm least excited about the WF/WCF integration. I'll talk...
