Last month I started a new blog series where I interview a different “connected systems” thought leader each month and get some insight into their experiences and thinking in our space. Our first victim/subject was Tomas Restrepo. We continue the series by chatting with everyone’s favorite Swedish BizTalker, Alan Smith.

This week, for our fourth screencast in the series, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard walks you through how to self-host WCF services in your own applications. The screencast walks you through adding an existing service (see the creating your first WCF service screencast on how to create one) to a new console application. In this screencast, we create a new console application project, and add the code needed to reference the service and host WCF endpoints. Aaron then walks you through how to add (and configure) the proper configuration information (refer to how to configure your your WCF Service with endpoints screencast for more information). Along the way, Aaron introduces how to work with the hosted endpoints programmatically.
As mentioned above, the WCF screencasts are a weekly series of Channel9 videos done in conjunction with the folks at PluralSight to help developers new to WF/WCF see how the technology is used. It’s worth noting that Aaron and the PluralSight folks are now offering online training courses (in a format similar to these screencasts) as a compliment to their catalog of instructor-led training courses covering Microsoft connected systems technologies. Their training topics range from .NET v3.5 (including an excellent WF/WCF Double Feature course) to WSS to BizTalk server.
I just published the source code for my FixEncoding
pipeline components for BizTalk Server 2006 to GitHub as
well. FixEncoding provides two custom components that can help you resolve issues
when resolving charset/encoding issues when receiving or sending messages.
I haven’t touched FixEncoding in a while, but I still find it very helpful on a lot
of projects. You can find the new repository here: http://github.com/tomasr/fixencoding/
Much respect to the guys at Google if they actually deliver on their promise of a new age web browser as per the online comic leaked…

Yesterday I launched “bloggersguides.net” a community site that will host resources for BizTalk Server and the up and coming Oslo technologies.

The Bloggers Guide to BizTalk 2.0
If you have worked with BizTalk a while you may remember “The Bloggers Guide to BizTalk” which I first published back in October 2004. I’ve updated the BizTalk guide to include the latest contributions and added content from some new blogs. The guide now has about 500 articles.
The Bloggers Guide to Oslo 0.1
The Bloggers Guide to Oslo will follow on from The Bloggers Guide to BizTalk, focussing on the Oslo wave of technologies. V 0.1 has a small amount of content, as most of the people who know anything about Oslo are under NDA at the moment; there is not that much information available in public yet. We can expect this to change around the time of PDC in October, and the content in the guide will increase greatly.
BizTalk & Oslo Webcasts
I’ve uploaded a few webcasts looking at BizTalk Server and BizTalk Services (the two are not related in any way J). I will get to work on adding more webcasts in the future, any suggestions welcome.
