BizTalk "Message Aggregation For Email" Pattern

My latest article on BizTalk Services
Jon Flanders and I coauthored an article on BizTalk Services that just went live on the MSDN Magazine web site. We begin the article by discussing ESB’s and the trends towards SaaS, and then we describe how BizTalk Services embodies the best of these different worlds through what Microsoft likes to call the Internet Service Bus (ISB). Then we show you how to begin using BizTalk Services within your WCF applications through the new RelayBinding.
If you haven’t touched it yet, there’s plenty of sample code within the article to help you get started with BizTalk Services on your own. Simply browse to http://labs.biztalk.net, create your own user account, download/install the SDK, and you’ll be good to go. Enjoy.

DevDays NL Presentations and Demos Online
Pfew, the DevDays 2008 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands are over! I think both of my sessions (Getting your SharePoint Code Deployed & Advanced Web Part Development) went pretty well; no crashes or failing demos. Let’s hope the audience thinks the same. 🙂 I already got quite some requests to get my presentations and demo code. So instead of sending a copy to everybody’s email, I’ve uploaded them to my SkyDrive account.
If you have any questions, comments and/or feedback; feel free to post them as a comment on this blog and I’ll try to do my best to answer them. 🙂
