At end of this meeting some announcements were made about next BizTalk Server Release and that next SOA & BPM Conference will be held not this year, but January 2009. Exact dates were mentioned as well 26-29 of January. Fact that it will not be held end of this year is probably due to PDC 08, where some BizTalk related things will be

I finally decided to add myself on FaceBook. Facebook is not used by many in the Netherlands, people use Hyves more. I like Facebook though and did not have a look at it before. My family in Canada already found me so I am connected to them. Also so people I know in the IT space are connected now. I also added some pictures of my children and so on. So now you can find me there too. Feel free to

Microsoft OSLO is getting more attention as PDC 2008 is approaching. In eWeek there is a new article published about 'The Origins of Microsoft's Oslo Software Modeling Platform'.

But there is more look at article published on PDF zone called 'Microsoft's Oslo Helps Non-Programmers Build Data-Centric Apps', which essentially

Asynchronous or synchronous?
Posted on 04:52 by Unknown
Currently I confronted with a dilemma concerning synchronous or asynchronous processing of batches. A customer I work for currently process batch in the back-end system. This customer is demanding a solution in which processing can be controlled and back-end systems are efficiently used. At the moment this not the case, systems are sometimes running idle and batch processing is done during

This afternoon I went to Microsoft Head Office in the Netherlands at Schiphol. It is their new Office I not yet had the chance to visit. Microsoft Netherlands held an presentation about the new way their magazine is going to be in the future.

C# and .NET 3.5
Posted on 00:39 by Unknown
In light of announcement of BizTalk Server 2009 I started reading a book called C# in depth. Why? Well new version of BizTalk will support Hyper-V, Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5, SQL 2008 and Windows Server 2008. This book is designed to bring you to a new level of programming skill, which dives deeply into key C# topics—in particular the new ones. By reading this book I hope to learn to reuse

Workflows
Posted on 12:13 by Unknown
On Mike Breeze blog I noticed two posted about last TechEd08 about building RFID solutions with BizTalk and Getting Workflows Running and talking in Your Applications. First one I could not much with since I do not have an environment with BizTalk running together with RFID the another one was for me more interesting. The slide deck and code could be downloaded. I tried out the examples on my

As some of you might have noticed I have given my blog site a new look. After almost two years of blogging I got fed up with template from blogger one can standard add.

BizTalk Server 2009
Posted on 03:50 by Unknown
BizTalk Server 2009 is the new name instead of BizTalk Server 2006 R3. Does this mean that it will be a complete new version of the product of just an extension of BizTalk Server 2006 like R2? What can be expected from this version is :- Support for the latest Microsoft Platforms including Hyper-V Virtualization, Visual Studios 2008, .Net 3.5, SQL 2008, and Windows Server 2008. - Enhancements to
