Architecture
A Section regaring Architecture From .NET point of view and general as well ( J2EE )
Microsoft ESB Guidance at CodePlex has updated to CTP2
Overview
The Microsoft ESB Guidance provides architectural guidance, patterns, practices, and a set of BizTalk Server and .NET components to simplify the development of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) on the Microsoft platform and to allow Microsoft customers to extend their own messaging and integration solutions.
One pf the major changes for me is the fact that the core components have been updated to the R2 release of BizTalk Server ;)
In one of my previous posts I have told you about ADO.NET - Astoria and Jasper from MIX07.Now you can download it - For those who played with LINQ here's the next phase : Microsoft Codename "Astoria" - May 2007 Community Technology Preview, along with Jasper MIX 2007 CTP so you could realy do something real for the community , like EntLib Contrib project - Start Coding NOW!
EntLib Contrib is a community-developed library of extensions to the patterns & practices Enterprise Library, while next phase,which is comming later this week ,is Web Client Software Factory Contrib and Smart Client Software Factory Contrib. Now is YOUR chance to extend well known Libraries !

... waiting for the EntLib 4.0 , "The Community Version" ;)
BTW: Tom Hollander, is leaving the team :(
Here's the link for the
download version of the keynote by Ray Ozzie and Scott Guthrie Keynote.
don't forget that you can both browse the
www.visitmix.com library, as well as the
http://sessions.visitmix.com/default.asp to download the videos for offline viewing [ AND THERE'S LOOOOTTTTSS OF THEM :D ]
It seems that the ADO.NET team has/going ( i'm not in LV ) to announce two on going projects which for all you LINQ enthusiastic people - if LINQ / DLINQ / XLINQ wasn't enough , here's another pile of paper work you'll have to read about [ that is if ADO.NET is your thing ;-) ].
Technology NO.1 is code name "Astoria" : "The goal of Microsoft Codename "Astoria" is to enable applications to expose data as a data service that can be consumed by web clients within a corporate network and across the internet.", or in plain english LINQ with partial WCF capabilities.
Check out the Astoria webpage at http://astoria.mslivelabs.com for more information and a link to the CTP download.
Pablo Castro has published this document which introduces the concepts and motivations for Astoria.
Technology NO.2 is code name "Jasper". Jasper seems to be like the level you'd get after SP2 of LINQ, why ?
Because "Jasper" uses a set of new technologies to make this happen:
- Dynamic generation of data classes so there is no configuration or design time code-gen to carry around.
- Rich query and O/R capabilities because "Jasper" is built on top of the Entity Framework.
- Auto-binding capabilities for ASP.NET, WinForms, and WPF to make binding data to a UI simple and automatic.
BTW , it's on the MSDN home page , but some of us might miss it due to the fact that we're reading other poeple's BLOG all day ;)
Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
Enterprise Library Videos.
Ok , so it's allmost been a week since it's relaese [
It's here! Enterprise Library 3.0 RTM], and it seems that 'HELP' is on the way.
Above is a link to a few EntLib Videos, the link is to the "Library" it self , so from time to time your are invited to check again the link. currently there are two videos :
Application Block Software Factory Part 1: Untyped Providers (17 minutes)
Application Block Software Factory Part 2: Typed Providers (21 minutes)
Take notice , there's an
Enterprise Library 3.0 Webcast on March 27 at 10am PDT / 17:00 UTC. So due to the fact that most of us use EntLib this webcast might of importance to some of us.
came accross this link , check it out

change of plans on my part , moving away from ASPNET 2.0 programming , back to BizTalk 2004 programming
I think i'm doing the right step
...so I was looking for an old link that I like , here it is
The Bloggers Guide to BizTalk: Workspace Home
it's here boys and girls, the first SP to any edition of SQL 2005

Hi y'all
Yesterday I was at the Architect's User Group Meeting
Here are two links which can enrich our knowledge regarding VSTS ,
and how important it is to our success in current and future projects.
There are two links due to the fact that there are two base templates
For those who already know these links, please excuse me for the clutter

I was looking in the rest of scott woodgate Biztalk Webcasts
and came across Visio Template with interact with Biztalk
download from :
BizTalk Server 2004 Orchestration Designer for Business Analysts
should be very usefull , I think so any way
I was looking at the introduction to Biztalk 2004 that Scoot Woodgate did in a webcast
and I looked carfully and found two new types of projects
which I didn't know that exists
1. InfoPath Projects ( No it's not part of the Office 2003 System Projects , which are Word and Excel )
which should be relevant to sharepoint 2003 ?
2. Zing Projects
Ok what's Zing ? well the 'Overview' says the following :
Zing is a new software model checking project at Microsoft Research. Our goal is to build a flexible and scalable systematic state space exploration infrastructure for software. This infrastructure includes novel algorithms, and a modular software architecture, to push the frontier on exploring large state spaces of software. ....
