More then a few times I have seen interview questions that people post on their blogs for use when interviewing people for a BizTalk Server job opportunity. I never use interview questions. I'm not sure if the market and access to BizTalk developers…(read more)
Alright, now that the New Zealand Tech Ed is done and dusted people around here are back at blogging, including me.
I thought I’d start with one that’s been on my list for a while: how to make multiple calls to the same stored procedure using the SQL Adapter without having to use a loop shape.
No […]
I just got back from two weeks in Denmark and Sweden. Had a great time, met a number
of really interesting and smart people and all my host’s hospitality was just incredible!
For those of you that came to the talk I did on REST at the Stockholm BizTalk User
Group meeting – here is the code and the slides
Also – I just have to say, this group is one of the best User Groups I’ve ever spoken
at. From the travel to the talk itself it was a great experience. Thanks again!

In the previous post, I laid out a data visibility problem and proposed using RSSBus to build an enterprise mashup that inflates a single data entity whose attributes reside in multiple disparate systems.
Before a mashup can be built, we actually need the source data in a ready-to-mashup format. For the mashup I am building, my […]
I have never been exposed to Human Workflow Services (HWS) in BizTalk Server and find it interesting that such a solid framework is available “native” to BizTalk. Yet, with almost no documentation / samples available online, and some bloggers claiming that HWS support will be discontinued, I was wondering who among you have actually had experience working with it, and what your thoughts on the framework are…
I am currently working on a Zero-touch provisioning project, and HWS could play a major role in the Human workflow requirements.

From another session Breeze jointly did with Kenetics whom supplied the hardware for
the entire TechEd 08.
It was a great session Scotty & myself did around demo-ing the bits that were
used to build the system.

As promised, the chaos of TechEd has subsided and if there’s that thing of normality
approaching….we’ll I must be close to it.
My Thursday after lunch session went great with a whole series of demos about different
aspects of hosting and running workflows (WCF based, .NET 3.5, Tracking, FilePersistence,
Obtaining Metadata etc):

I’ve seen a number of posts, videos, and now a conference talk abstract talking about
Lo-REST versus Hi-REST
I thought this was already a closed issue
See Dare’s
post
There isn’t anything that is “Lo-REST”, there are services that follow the constraints
of the REST architectural style, and those that don’t (sometimes those that don’t
have a good reason not to)
Some of this seems to revolve around some clients not supporting all verbs, this is
easily fixed with the X-HTTP-Method-Override HTTP header
My next post hopefully will show how easy this is to implement using WCF extensibility.
