Concepts and tools will be shown by walking through several real-world, practical examples of BizTalk usage. (This is a 1-hour talk.)
Implementing and consuming SOA services with BizTalk Server 2006R2**
The concepts surrounding Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) have been out there for quite some time now. Still, architects are struggling to apply the concepts in their enterprise solutions. Concerns about scalability, maintainability and short concept-to-market development have been some of the major reasons for its slow embracement. BizTalk Server provides out-of-the-box capabilities to help you implement SOA services that are scalable, maintainable and most importantly adapt to the ever changing needs of the enterprise. This session will review some key aspects of service oriented architecture and show how BizTalk can address those concepts. We will illustrate best practices and techniques used for building enterprise ready services using BizTalk Server. (This is a 1-hour talk.)

Please be sure to register if you plan on attending the meeting. We use the registration numbers so we have an idea of how many pizzas to order. Starting with this month’s meeting we will also be using the registrations as a second opportunity for the giveaways at the end of the meeting. What does that mean? Simply put, if you register for the meeting (and show up, of course) you will get two “entries” in the drawing instead of one. Don’t worry about registering and then not being able to make it; we would much rather order extra than not enough. You can also always email us and we’ll mark you as not being able to attend.
