BizTalk and Iterative Development
I'm a big fan of iterative development, and during the last few weeks as I've scrambled wheezily up the BizTalk 2004 learning curve I've been wondering exactly how I'm going to iterate BizTalk projects.
I didn't conclude anything yet, except perhaps that it's a very good idea to keep schemas and orchestrations in separate assemblies. Hold the press indeed.
Fortunately greater minds than mine have already been bent to the task, so I direct you good people to Charles Young's post "Is Orchestration RAD?", in which he demonstrates that yes, it can be, but not on Day 1. I'm glad to see that Charles and others agree about separating schemas and orchestrations.
