I finally put up all the demo code (except Neuron) for the Capital Area .NET UG presentation that I did on 6/24. So: Code here Presentation here Questions, ask Technorati Tags: INETA , EDA , Event Driven Architecture , SOA , Service Oriented Architecture , 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

Welcome to the 11th article in the series. In this article, I will take a broad detour from the abstract into the concrete with WCF. The title of this article is "Introduction to WCF: Architecture and the "ABCs" of Indigo." BTW, I have been in the Indigo SDR program for over 4 years and the term Indigo has stuck in my mind, so I will use the terms interchangeably. Plus, as I think Don Box said in a presentation, It's spelled W-C-F and pronounced Indigo. The WCF is silent."

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

BizTalk/WCF/SOA Steve Maines talks about the changes in WCF/WF with .NET 3.5 SP1 Jean-Paul Smit has released a Biztalk Solution Factory on Codeplex . His post about it is here .

The Four Tenets of SOA Service Architectural Patterns The Current State of SOA and How to Make the Paradigm Shift

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

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?
