        Does anyone know of a good site or reference that will take a beginner to BizTalk step by step through creating a new process?  ( Say, from an xml file in via http, through translation, out the door as an xml file via http)  I've invested in the book BizTalk Server Recipes and it's helpful, but it doesn't seem to take you step by step from the complete ground floor perspective.  If there are resources for this out there….. I sure haven't found them yet.  Any input would be greatly appreciated,

        Thanks

          dm – there should be a tutorial that comes with Biztalk that is good for the first couple of lessons. -wa

              I found the tutorials… and they help too.  But the problem is, they have quite a bit built for you already, and don't go into details about what it took to build all those behind the scenes files they point you to.  That's where I get lost.

              Thanks for the feedback though!

                  Hi,

                  Have you had a look at Foundations of BizTalk 2006? It is aimed at the beginner starting from the ground up.

                  I also found these Microsoft tutorials very useful when I first started BizTalk. They are step by step and easy to follow.

                  Regards,

                  Ryan

                      Thanks for the post Ryan,

                      I came across that Foundations of BizTalk book, probably right about the time you were posting.  I've ordered it and I'm hoping it will fill in the gaps.

                      Thanks,

                      Dave

                          Have you tried microsoft virtual labs for biztalk server? They are pretty good. For beginners, I think for me understanding subscription was probably the most difficult part(some how it is not really mentioned how exactly subscriptions are created in most tutorial, the just say that filter has to be set), once you get that pipelines, adapters and orchestrations follow naturally. Another concept you might need a head start on in correlations.

                              I just finished the foundations book yesterday.  It was a pretty good book, and did give a good foundation of knowledge.  I created a process almost like you are looking to do in BT 2004 using the Unleashed book.  If you use the foundations book in combination with the Recipes book, you should be able to do what you are looking to do.  All you will have to do is use the Recipes book to accomplish the HTTP receipt, then build the Application like in the foundation book. 

                              I plan to have one of my guys who is brand new to BizTalk use the foundations book to create a sort of checklist when they are starting new projects, but that has not happened yet.  I think it will be good for them when they are starting out new projects while learning so that they do not forget a step, and cannot figure out why their Application is not working. 

                               Good luck

                                  Hi vibe,

                                  Yep, that's exactly what I'm looking to do myself.  I've got a number of processes that have to be migrated from another b2b product and I need a checklist to follow, once I understand how to set things up from start to finish. 

                                  Thanks to all for the posts…. hopefully these links will get me where I need to be
