You can get the slides...

I'm excited to be teaching the first BizTalk double feature class coming up October in Irvine. Now I know what you are thinking: "of course you are happy to get out of Minnesota and go to sunny California", but I actually like fall in MN. No , this class is going to be cool because it allows...

For those of you who attended my webcast today on workflow communications, the demo code is attached to this post. It includes the base activities used for communication activities (more on these in a later post) and it provides simple example of local communications and web services. The two-way communication...

I've got a couple of fun talks coming up this month. First, I'm going to be doing an MSDN webcast on Windows Workflow Foundation - Communication in Depth. I'm going to dive into the core communication architecture, discuss how some of the OOB activities use it, and how you can build your own activities...

Last week I had the pleasure of teaching a class for Healthwise in Boise, and while there met David Starr. David has a website called Elegant Code and we got a chance to sit down for a podcast during the week. We chatted about WF, WCF, BizTalk, "Oslo" and being a Pluralsight instructor. Have a listen...

I recently got to sit down with some local smart guys here in Minneapolis and we chatted about REST versus SOA. It wasn't any kind of religious discussion, but it was fun to talk to people who build apps and work with developers every day to hear what they think about this topic. You can find the audio...

Several people are starting to blog about the introduction of the Volta project on live.labs.com. This is a pretty interesting research project and points to an interesting development at Microsoft. I get a little frustrated at times b/c I hear developers complain that a) Microsoft isn't agile enough...

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of participating in a roundtable event with some really smart folks from around the Minneapolis area.

Hot off the presses, you can get it now from MSDN subscriber downloads or the trial version . See Soma's blog for more details on the new features, etc. Surprisingly, being a WF and BizTalk guy, I'm least excited about the WF/WCF integration. I'll talk more about what I dislike later, but this is a happy...
