What’s New in BizTalk 2013 Course has lots of Relevant Content for BizTalk 2013 R2

I have revamped and updated my site: http://www.whats-new-in-biztalk-2013.com/  This site is dedicated to my course at Pluralsight with the same name.  While this course was geared to BizTalk 2013, a lot of the content is still relevant for BizTalk 2013 R2.

This course has 6 modules:
BizTalk Server 2013 Overview
Using Windows Azure Service Bus with BizTalk 2013
REST Adapter Deep Dive
SharePoint Adapter Enhancements
Using BizTalk 360 with BizTalk 2013
Setting up BizTalk 2013 in Windows Azure IaaS

Of these, the module on the BizTalk REST Adapter is one of the best in the course!  It is a great resources for anyone working with the REST Adapter in any version of BizTalk.

In the SharePoint chapter, I walk through integration with SharePoint Online in Office 365.

New Pluralsight Course: Traveling and Loyalty Programs Best Practices

New Pluralsight Course: Traveling and Loyalty Programs Best Practices

While my main passion in life is Integration with Microsoft Technologies, a close second is traveling.  With traveling comes my “addiction” to earning airline miles, hotel points, and chasing status!

The way I see it is by using miles and points we can travel cheaper or even for free! 

Have you ever wondered if it was really worth it though?  Maybe you think you do not travel enough to benefit from miles and points?  Or do not know the first thing about Loyalty programs?  I cover this and more in my training course with Pluralsight titled “Traveling and Loyalty Programs Best Practices”. 

It is broken down into 5 modules:

    • Traveling Developer Best Practices
    • Air Travel Deep Dive and Airline Best Practices
    • Detailed Airline Loyalty Program Review
    • Ins and Outs of Earning and Using Hotel Points
    • Driving Off with Car Rental Credits

Here are two demo videos outlining the basics of loyalty programs and why having status matters.
