BizTalk 2004 Tutorial (finally!)
Scott Woodgate has posted the BizTalk 2004 Tutorial (blog, download).
I downloaded it. It's the real thing this time, folks!
You get several Word documents plus associated folders containing XML files, solutions, supporting material etc. The tutorial is split into three modules: (1) Fundamentals for EAI within the enterprise, (2) Extending the concept outside the company into b2b territory and (3) Supplier-side b2b issues, Business Activity Services and Business Activity Monitoring.
I've had a browse through Module 1. The format is good: each section is headed up with a summary of Objectives and Tasks, an overview of the concepts and tools that will be used and then step-by-step guidance to achieve the objectives.
There aren't shedloads of screenshots - they're just used when needed - but the tidy format of the lessons means that hopefully they won't be needed.
