Now you will now why I haven’t updated the tutorials in the last few weeks. We just shipped the Best Practices Analyzer, and now it is available for down load. You use the Analyzer to check your BTS installation and configuration against our list of best practices. Each issue the analyzer reports is supported by a brief article outlining how to fix and where to look for more information.

Next week I will be in Sydney attending the Gartner Application Development, Integration and Web Services Conference (ADIWS). http://www.gartner.com/2_events/conferences/apin12a.jsp
Actually, Microsoft is a Premier Sponsor so I will be mingling around sessions as well as at being present at our booth / stand. If you are attending the conference, please stop by and say hi to me and introduce yourselves if we haven’t met yet.
I presented a session at the local BizTalk user group last night. Paul Woods from Microsoft was nice enough to capture it on Live Meeting.
If you have the patience you can view it here:

The sound is not the best but I think you will get the idea.
Paul woods was kind enough to record the May 2006 Qld User Group BizTalk Session where Mark Daunt presented on the usage of the BizTalk Business Rules Engine. (Thanks Mark and Paul). The link to the session recording can be found here:
Paul Woods has invited you to view a Microsoft Office Live Meeting recording.
