Sometimes people want to start learning BizTalk and don’t know where to start and it is very normal to see a lot of people askingthis question, which leads me to always be looking for this information. To be honest, it is more usual people asking “How can I learn to be a BizTalk Developer” than […]

Problem When trying to send a message to multiple request response ports you can receive the following error in BizTalk: The message found multiple request response subscriptions. A message can only be routed to a single request response subscription. Solution First of all, you’ll need to reconsider if it’s architecturally sound to route a message […]

With windows 8 my shortcuts did not work fully, well there is a whole bunch of new methods in windows 8, I thought it would be good to share.
1. Admin Menu: It’s not the Start Menu so familiar in earlier versions of Windows, but the Admin Menu is as close as it gets in Windows 8. Windows + X pops it up from the bottom left corner.
2. Charms: When you hit Windows + C the Charms bar pops out from the right-hand side of the screen. Charms, a new Windows feature, are a set of tools such as Search, Share and Settings that are located in a Charms Bar that can be flicked in from the right side of the display on a touchscreen.
3. Settings: One of the Charms is Settings. To avoid calling out the Charms bar then choosing Settings it’s possible to go directly to Settings: Windows +I. This will reveal the Power button, too. Click on that to reveal the Sleep, Shut down and Restart options, options users say are way too hard to find.
4. Sharing: If you are in an application and want to email or share its content with someone on a social network, hit Windows + H.
5. Second screen: If you are connecting to a second screen as you might presenting a PowerPoint in a conference room, use Windows + P.
6. Search: There are three layers of Search: Apps, Settings and Files. Using touch it calls for whisking out the Charms bar, selecting Search then choosing one of the three layers. With shortcuts, each layer can be reached with one command. They are: Apps: Windows + Q ; Settings: Windows +W ; Files: Windows + F
7. Snap an app: It’s possible to snap an application on hold in the right or left quarter of the screen with a second active app occupying the rest of the screen. To snap to the right, press Windows + . ; to snap to the left, press Windows + Shift + .
8. Running Apps: Thumbnails of apps that are running are concealed off the left side of the screen. Pressing Windows + Tab reveals them.
9. To close an app: It’s just like it was in Windows 7: Alt + F4 .
10. The desktop: While it’s different from the traditional desktop, it is much more familiar territory than the Start Screen. Typing Windows + D brings up the Desktop…Same as Windows 7

In the previous story about BizTalk community members I introduced Genuine Basil, who works for Burch Technologies, Sydney Australia. I was able to get hold of the founder of Burch Technologies, Mark Burch who I interviewed for the BizTalk Community Series. Mark has been been around BizTalk for a long time since 1999 and runs a blog on integration called BizTorque since 2006. Here is his story.
Mark Burch, 34 years of age is a technology entrepreneur. He lives in Sydney Australia. He’s a graduate of Singularity University, a Microsoft VTSP for Integration, and Director and Founder of technology companies. Burch Technologies are his BizTalk/Integration/App Dev consulting company. InvoiceSmash his new SAAS product – launching out of beta in Dec 2012.
Mark has been working on BizTalk since 1999, when Microsoft released the BizTalk Jumpstart Kitbefore BizTalk 2000 was released. His employer at the time was jumping on the XML bandwagon, when no one really knew what it meant.
Mark has worked on the whole BizTalk stack, development, architecture, administration, training, and sales/presales. He really enjoys the power of BizTalk:
“At Burch Technologies we really make BizTalk dance on a string like a puppet and we do the hard stuff. Things like integration into ERP products that don’t have *any* integration capabilities for instance.”
In the little spare time Mark has left besides running two businesses and family stuff is playing Halo, Modern Warfare or Black Ops on the Xbox. He supports the All Blacks, the New Zealand rugby team. The same team I support when it to comes to world cup rugby.
One final quote from Mark to readers of his blogs and many other BizTalk related ones:
“Follow your dreams. Be kind.”
Thanks Mark for your time and contributions.
Cheers,
Steef-Jan
