Docker Q&A for Windows Users
I’m a Windows guy. I’ve spent the better part of the past fifteen years on Windows laptops and servers. That fact probably hurts my geek cred, but hey, gotta be honest. Either way, it really seems that the coolest emerging… Read More ›

Upcoming Presentation – February 2nd, 2015
Recently Integration MVPs Michael Stephenson and Saravana Kumar have launched a series of community-focused integration events. What is unique about these events is that they have been designed to cater to an International audience. Live Webinars have been held every Monday evening (UK time) for the past couple weeks and for several more in the near future. They have created a website, appropriately called http://www.integrationusergroup.com/ where you can find all the details for these events.
When Michael asked if I was willing to present the talk I gave at the Integrate 2014 event I was happy to oblige. On Monday, February 2nd I will be discussing “What to look for in an Integration Platform”. I have included the overview for the session below and want to take this opportunity to thank Michael, Saravana and the BizTalk360 team for hosting these events and providing a great service to the Integration community.
Overview
The landscape for integration platforms continues to evolve. Cloud, Hybrid, Mobility, SaaS connectivity, API Management and MicroServices are introducing new architectural patterns and requirements. These new capabilities are also introducing new entrants in the integration platform industry. For customers who are looking to upgrade, or adopt a new integration platform, this can be an overwhelming and confusing situation. In this talk, Kent will take a requirements driven approach when selecting an integration platform.

BizTalk Server 2013 R2 Integration with Cloud API Last.fm
In previous post I described a way to consume a public Rest API using the BizTalk WCF-WebHttp adapter in combination with JSON-decoder, which is a new component with the BizTalk Server 2013 R2 edition. Now I like to mix things up a bit and consume a different API that is public. That is you can use this API from Last.fm. This is an online music discovery service that gives you personalised

BizTalk Server 2013 R2 Consuming JSON Messages
BizTalk Server 2013 introduced a couple of new adapters. One of them was the WCF-WebHttp adapter that offers REST Support. The WCF-WebHttp adapter gives you the ability to send messages to Restful services and receive messages through an exposed endpoint. One of the limitations with the adapter (binding) was the lack of Json support. You had to write your own custom pipeline components to
