Of course, this is so much more than a Service Pack with the release now of ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) and the Entity Framework among others. In my area of interest, CSD, there are some significant changes for REST programming (1st class citizen now) as well as some other additions: There were several enhancements to WCF in .NET Framework SP1 that make it easier for developers to build and deploy a broader, more scalable set of Web Services: Improvements in writing REST based services ranging from easily supporting ServiceDocuments publication and consumption to providing greater control and usability of UriTemplate. Expanding the reach of the DataContract Serializer by relaxing the need of having [DataContract]/ [DataMember] on types and by supporting an interoperable mechanism for dealing with object references Support for ADO.NET Entity Framework types in WCF contracts Scalability increases of 5X - 10X are available for WCF services hosted in IIS7-integrated mode. Improvements to the tools for developing, testing, and hosting Web services. Improved Partial Trust Debugging Experience with support for writing to the Event Log. If you previously installed a Visual Studio 2008 Hotfix, you must run the Hotfix Cleanup Utility before installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 . For more information, see Visual Studio 2008 Hotfix Cleanup Utility for Installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 .

I have been real busy, among other things, doing a full review and change cycle on my Asynchronous Messaging and Event-Driven Architecture talk that I am doing tonight . The entire deck has changed. There has been even more strides towards full asynchronous messaging. To that end, I have worked with the CSD folks to truly understand the behavior of the One Way messaging and its implications on blocking/asynchronous behavior. I will present those findings tonight. Silverlight My friend Ambrose , and crew is working on Silverlight 2 Programmer's Reference and it seems Wrox has started a similar program to Manning called Wrox First The excellent Concepts To Become a Silverlight Master series that I referenced before now has added a Part 3 - Blend and a Part 4 - Security . Great stuff.

WF/CSD WF can be a tricky thing. As Cliff blogs , the CSD folks have added two great prescriptive guidance articles for WF to the MSDN Online Library : an article by Jon Flanders to help choose between sequential workflows and state machines, and a major article by Michele Leroux Bustamante explaining the five most common WF deployment scenarios. Read Cliff's blog for more details and the links.

An Amazing Introduction to NDepend BizTalk/WCF/WF/SOA My friend Jesus Rodriguez has a WCF extensibility deep dive on MSDN this Friday I listened in to Jon Flanders Workflow Services one today which was excellent The new Microsoft BizTalk Server Performance Optimization Guide has been released to the web. This document provides guidance & best practices on optimizing BizTalk Server performance for demanding production environments. Dr Nick has a post on Configuring SSL Host Headers on IIS . Host Headers in IIS are a way to associate multiple names with a single address. I have spent much of the past year explaining EDA and its relationship to SOA in my talks. My current talk is all about this. IBM SOA Guru Bobby Woolf puts it this way , "So, EDA and SOA: SOA determines what gets done, EDA is one way to determine when it gets done.

Its about time to clear out the backlog. CLR/.NET/Visual Studio/TDD/ALT.NET Jeremy has a nice piece here, Before you use an IoC tool, some concepts to know first Favorite Visual Studio 2008 Keyboard Shortcuts (Corey Schuman) [via Alvin ] MbUnit in Visual Studio Team System 2008 and MbUnit v3 Beta 3 Updates (Andrew Stopford) [via Alvin ] Castle Visual Studio Integration 0.3 Released Tree Surgeon 2.0 Released Microsoft StyleCop, Totalitarian Rules Composite Application Guidance for WPF - June 2008 on Microsoft Downloads and Community Site WCF/SOA/SaaS/Enterprise Architecture Jesse has a must-read WCF Gotcha in that the WCF developers made a choice that goes against everything you thought you knew about IDisposable. Chris Rolon, from Neudesic, really made me aware of this in internal emails and I was going to write a MSDN column in the magazine starting with this article. Make sure you read Jesse's piece and follow the advise!

Enjoying cup of Starbucks and Deep Purple Live in Stockholm 1970 (via Zune marketplace). WCF/WF My good friend Marjan has worked hard with us Influencers (I wish I wasn’t so busy) to come up with a stellar bunch of Webcasts! Must see! One of the key things we are “influencing” is Oslo.

Along with my series , I have a New and Notable. I have pretty much abandoned N&N in favor of writing original content, especially since Jason and Alvin, among others, are doing such a great job. However, these links go well with the series. SOA/WCF So the biggest news is the beta publication of the patterns & practices WCF Security Guide. You can download the beta of the full security guide from CodePlex now. I can’t say enough good things about this. I did get to look at some of this in draft form and it’s am amazing work. The thing with WCF is that it supports to many security scenarios that it quickly becomes overwhelming. This real-world scenario based guide is an absolute must-have if you work with WCF, and you will after reading my series right? My good friend Nicholas Allen, from the Indigo team, wrote the Introduction The Managed Services Engine is a solution built on top of WCF to supply a repository-based runtime and management tool for service virtualization. You can get their new June CTP on CodePlex , which replaces the previous beta release from last October. [via Nick ] I am doing a lot of work lately with the WCF Untyped Message class, and the underlying Transport and Channels, which I will be writing about. Christian has a nice short post about Accessing the message inside of your WCF service In that same area, Nick has a post about Building with Encoders And speaking of the series, my colleague in the Connected Systems practice writes Why do SOA projects Read More...

Great articles. Here are but some of them: F# and Unit Testing - Some New Developments Dynamic Languages vs Static Verification What Is the Future of C# Anyways?

Meier of the immensely useful patterns & practices WCF Security Guidance project , has compiled a mondo listing of WCF Security Resources Udi reminds us to keep the context of time in mind as you analayze the data your services use and are responsible for, as a way of avoiding falling down the Data Services rabbit hole.
