Going to Microsoft TechEd (North America) to Speak About Cloud Integration
In a few weeks, I’ll be heading to New Orleans to speak at Microsoft TechEd for the first time. My topic – Patterns of Cloud Integration – is an extension of things I’ve talked about this year in Amsterdam, Gothenburg, and in my latest Pluralsight course. However, I’ll also be covering some entirely new ground […]
My New Pluralsight Course – Patterns of Cloud Integration – Is Now Live
April 9, 2013
I’ve been hard at work on a new Pluralsight video course and it’s now live and available for viewing. This course, Patterns of Cloud Integration, takes you through how application and data integration differ when adding cloud endpoints. The course highlights the 4 integration styles/patterns introduced in the excellent Enterprise Integration Patterns book and discusses […]
Yes Richard, You Can Use Ampersands in the BizTalk REST Adapter (And Some ASP.NET Web API Tips)
March 19, 2013
A few months back, I wrote up a pair of blog posts (part 1, part 2) about the new BizTalk Server 2013 REST adapter. Overall, I liked it, but I complained about the apparent lack of support for using ampersands (&) when calling REST services. That seemed like a pretty big whiff as you find […]
Using ASP.NET SignalR to Publish Incremental Responses from Scatter-Gather BizTalk Workflow
February 1, 2013
While in Europe last week presenting at the Integration Days event, I showed off some demonstration of cool new technologies working with existing integration tools. One of those demos combined SignalR and BizTalk Server in a novel way. One of the use cases for an integration bus like BizTalk Server is to aggregate data from […]

This month, we’re talking to Tom Canter who is the Director of Development for consultancy CCI Tec, a Microsoft “Virtual Technology Specialist (V-TS)” for BizTalk Server, and a smart, grizzled middleware guy. He’s seen it all, and I […]
2012 Year in Review
December 31, 2012
2012 was a fun year. I added 50+ blog posts, built Pluralsight courses about Force.com and Amazon Web Services, kept writing regularly for InfoQ.com, and got 2/3 of the way done my graduate degree in Engineering. It was a blast visiting Australia to talk about integration technologies, going to Microsoft Convergence to talk about CRM […]
Exploring REST Capabilities of BizTalk Server 2013 (Part 2: Consuming REST Endpoints)
November 19, 2012
In my previous post, I looked at how the BizTalk Server 2013 beta supports the receipt of messages through REST endpoints. In this post, I’ll show off a couple of scenarios for sending BizTalk messages to REST service endpoints. Even though the BizTalk adapter is based on the WCF REST binding, all my demonstrations are […]
Exploring REST Capabilities of BizTalk Server 2013 (Part 1: Exposing REST Endpoints)
November 12, 2012
The BizTalk Server 2013 beta is out there now and I thought I’d take a look at one of the key additions to the platform. In this current age of lightweight integration and IFTTT simplicity, one has to wonder where BizTalk will continue to play. That said, a clean support of RESTful services will go […]
