Let me introduce Tord Glad Nordahl. Tord is from Norway, working for Bouvet ASA. He is establishing himself as an expert in BizTalk administration area. He is conducting the famous BizTalk Deep Dive course across the world. He got a dedicated blog for BizTalk Administration at http://biztalkadmin.com I met him few months ago in Netherlands during a user group presentation. We bounced back and forth few emails and he kindly accepted to come and present in London.
We are going to have 2 sessions focused on BizTalk administrations. First Tord is going to focus on insisting developers should keep BizTalk Administration in mind while building solutions. Next I’m going to present BizTalk360 (http://www.biztalk360.com ) and show how it can improve the efficiency of administration, operations and monitoring side of BizTalk environment. Both the sessions will complement each other.
London user group is special for us, this is where we announced for the first time in public about BizTalk360 exactly a year ago (http://ukcsbugmay2011.eventbrite.com/). It’s one year on, with 3 major releases (v1.0, v2.5, v3.2) and the fourth one coming end of May.
Please register for the event if you are in/around London. We guarantee it will be worth while of your time.

Clemens Vasters was kind enough to round off his visit to Norway and Sweden by presenting a session on Hybrid Applications for the Sweden Windows Azure User Group (SWAG) in Stockholm. After presenting two sessions at TechDays he ditched Power Point and gave a two hour improvised presentation that spread across three whiteboards.
He covered a number of scenarios where the Windows Azure Service Bus could be used to enhance the reach of existing on-premise systems, and also how internet enabled devices can be hooked up to the service bus to provide control and reporting functionality.
Big thanks to Clemens for finding time is his busy schedule to present for us.
If you would like to sign up to the Sweden Windows Azure Group in Stockholm, you can do that here: http://swagmembership.eventbrite.com/
If you are in the south of Sweden, or Copenhagen Magnus M%u00e5rtensson, aka noopman, is kicking of a branch of SWAG in Malm%u00f6. The premier event will be at foocafe on Thursday 24th May. The signup for that event is here: http://foocafe.org/#event-cloud-core-values-from-the-source-with-magnus-martensson-and-glenn-block

In doing so, I’ll be giving away a copy of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 Patters book by Dan Rosanova published by Packt Publishing. This book is available from Packt and Amazon.
As a 2nd place prize, I will be giving away a copy of Pro Business Activity monitoring in BizTalk 2009 signed by BOTH authors!
To enter, just post a link to a BizTalk related blog not currently included in my aggregate feed. If you do not want to post a comment, just send me an email with the link. Just make sure I can contact you if you win . Take a look at the current blogs below included in the feed to see who is not included.
I will be picking two winners at random after Sunday May 6th.
Good Luck!

In this article we will use the basic mapping operations previously described, and analyze the decisions taken by the BizTalk mapping engine. Basically on this mapping problem there are two similar schemes, which we intend to map the source elements in their proper destination and for which we implemented the following challenges: Concatenate the first […]

I found an interesting blog post that I would like to share with you: BizTalk Server: 8 Tips And Tricks For Better BizTalk Programming

Filtering the informative, insightful and quirky from the fire hose of cloud-based hype.
Google’s “Google Drive” has been leading the news this week, and has sparked off some debate about the data storage “In the Cloud”. LA Times has a nice comparison of the different storage options available, and also asks “Who owns your stuff in the Google Drive cloud?”
Two more stores on the data storage side, Microsoft will bundle CommVault Simpana with Windows Azure “The new bundle, unveiled Monday, provides access to up to 62 TBs of cloud storage capacity along with CommVault’s Simpana 9 Express data protection capabilities for prices starting at about $50,000”. Also Aidmatrix Expands to the Microsoft Windows Azure Cloud to Enhance Its Disaster Response Platform.
Big data seems to be big business there is a nice overview of big data here. As for big data transfer, academics get a break with Microsoft waiving Azure bandwidth fees for research universities.
On the security side if you are working with Azure the new book from Packt “Microsoft Windows Identity Foundation Cookbook” should go on your shopping list.
I can’t decide if this is fun or serious, but the “Home Security System Using Kinect, Azure, Windows Phone and Windows 8” makes good use of emerging technologies. I wonder if they have a “Caught red-handed!” achievement
