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. I will be be taking my Advanced WCF:

I mentioned that I was looking for new opportunitie s but I have decided to concentrate my independent Microsoft .NET consulting on all things Connected Systems and Messaging. I see many shops around the country struggling with WCF and WF. In this area, I have been a part of the WCF and WF SDRs for 4 years now since the beginning and part of the large 2-year WCF and WF effort at Algorithmics. I am available, on a consulting basis , to help you with your WCF, WF and BizTalk needs. In addition, I believe

This is the 10th article in the series. I should mention that much of the series so far has been geared at a high level and strategic focus for IT Decision Makers rather than for those writing code. This is deliberate as much of SOA is an "Enterprise IT" activity. There has been a fair amount geared towards Architects as well. That will change as I get into Indigo, but today's topic is again a strategic one. Given that we have looked at the current state of SOA, how to make the paradigm

This is 9th of a series. I haven’t really received much feedback. Please let me know if this is useful, if posts too long, too abstract, your thoughts. Symptoms of a Problem, Diagnosis and Why SOA? Dynamic IT to Support the Agile Business and Business Benefits of SOA What is Service Orientation? What is SOA? The Many Definitions, a Working Definition, the Four Tenets What is a Service? The Four Tenets of SOA Service Architectural Patterns The Current State of SOA and How to Make the Paradigm Shift

I have taken a bit of detour the last few episodes, and in this eighth one, I am going to get back to the world of Capabilities and Microsoft IO , App Plat IO, ESOMM Maturity Model and how Service Enablement Fits In. For a reminder, the series so far is: Symptoms of a Problem, Diagnosis and Why SOA? Dynamic IT to Support the Agile Business and Business Benefits of SOA What is Service Orientation? What is SOA? The Many Definitions, a Working Definition, the Four Tenets What is a Service? The Four

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

In this episode, I get to define SOA, instantly coming into conflict with just about everyone who has ever defined it :). Right. Onward. First and foremost, Service-Oriented Architecture is an architectural style, not a framework. It's a design model, it's a way of thinking . I like to say it's not something you can buy or run a wizard for. I would also say that it is a Design model with a very strong emphasis on encapsulating application logic within Services that interact via a common

Sorry to everyone that I couldn't make it. Vicious Sinus Infection and fever. I did want to give you guys something before I go back to bed. Here the slides I would have given and the demos . Please direct your questions and comments here but it might be 2 days before I get to them. Your patience is appreciated.

Dave continues his seri es, "Today I’d like to talk about how you can store your WCF configuration information centrally with Neuron ESB . While it’s great that WCF allows you to move details such as endpoint, binding, and other information out of code and into config file settings, it can still be inconvenient to work with many individual config files. If you are dealing with large numbers of services, you may desire a way to centralize your configuration information. Neuron ESB

Architect David Pallmann, " Today I’d like to provide a very high level view of the Neuron ESB architecture. Understanding this will help put individual features and concepts in context as I describe them in upcoming articles." Technorati Tags: Neuron , Neuron ESB.EDA , ESB , WCF , Neudesic
