  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. We have not been able to say really anything up to this point, but as my Neudesic colleague Brian notes , the first public announcement was made at TechEd of a CTP of *some* of the Oslo stuff pre-PDC My good friend Pablo continues to rock in the WCF/WF area with a post on Streaming large content with WCF and deferred execution Unit testing custom workflow activities Unit testing asynchronous workflow activities SQL Server 2K8   SQL Server 2008 RC0 has been released to the general public ASP.NET/OR/M Multiple control selection in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 RTM ASP.NET MVC Northwind Demo using EntitySpaces EntitySpaces 2008 Release Candidate Available CLR/.NET Scott has a pair of posts on Velocity, first Velocity – Microsoft Distributed Cache and then Setting up Velocity Technorati Tags: WCF , WF , SQL Server 2008 , ASP.NET , EntitySpaces , Velocity Read More...

  So what have I been doing? Lots of things! I gave Advanced WCF talks in Lehigh Valley and Northern Delaware . The message of EDA is starting to resonate with folks who want their communications infrastructure to be taken care of and want to focus on Event Driven communications (i.e. Purchase Order event published by Order system and subscribed by Microsoft CRM and GP) and not having to write that Raw WCF code anymore. Basic Pub/Sub is 470 lines of code in the WCF sample. It is 3 lines in Neuron (or probably any event-driven bus). It doesn't make business sense in an Agile world to spend all your time writing infrastructure code instead of delivering business value stories. I have also been doing a lot of work out of the Microsoft Reston MTC where I met a new friend, Matt Podwysocki, who also works there, and I met via Twitter. Great guy who feels very passionately about ALT.NET and making positive contributions. At Reston, I helped Microsoft open up their new SOA Resource Center . If you are a Microsoft customer struggling with SOA and making it deliver real business value rather than hype, come bring your problems to the MTC and we'll help you. There is a great bunch of folks there. I also worked on an "ESB Study" for a branch of the military where us (Microsoft) used an ESB for a couple of months together with folks from BEA Web Logic and Cape Clear, culminating in a cross-vendor ESB demo which was a blast. Made some great new friends with our "competitors." Read More...

• Launch Into 2008...A Microsoft Geek's Timeline

  For the NuCon events we have been running with Microsoft to launch the 2008 Launch Wave, we have been giving out these Neudesic/Microsoft shirts that, IMHO, are really cool - they have this cool timeline on the back on how we see we got to here and shows a lot of the things we focus on (i.e. We use Agile/Scrum methodologies exclusively to run our projects): Simula 67 '67 Pascal '70 Internet Goes Public '92 SQL Server 4.21 Shipped '92 Scrum Created '93 SOA Coined '96 MS Released OLAP Services '98 EAI Coined '99 C# Announced '00 Web Services Coined '00 WSDL 1.0 Spec.

  I am Twittering, Facebooking now with my friends. Does that make me a Web 2.0 person, a “Hip With-It Person, or a childish fool? The jury is still out.... ESB/BizTalk My collegue writes Microsoft Patterns and Practices ESB Guidance 1.0 shown, and will be available in a few days . Brian, was instrumental by writing the early versions. He has a lot of good things to say on what the value add to community is. Major congrats Marty Wasznicky whose baby this is. I met Marty at the SOA conference finally and he is a very passionate, hard working advocate for BizTalk and the greater community SQL Server 2008 Neudesic's SQL Server and BI Practices have spent a large amount of time with SQL Server 2008. I have not but that is going to be changing. Euan's Getting to know SQL Server 2008: Training, WebCasts and Virtual Labs is very timely SOA/SaS Mike Walker talks about the release of the Software+Services Blueprints which are going to be super useful for people like me tryinng to roll out these kind of solutions in the real world. As a starting point for building real solutions by architects and developers, each Software+Services Blueprint includes code and/or utilities, guidance, structured step-by-step workflow and tools delivered within Visual Studio.
