I would like to clarify when BizTalk 2006 will be released. All over the web people have said that November 7th, 2005 will be the release date for BizTalk 2006 server. This is untrue. This date is when all the marketers will get into high gear and start pounding us all with BizTalk 2006 material. It is called BizTalk 2006 for a reason and we will not be able to get BizTalk 2006 till February,

I had been deliberately pushing the compelling thought to conclude the SOA owing to the hectic schedules and other reasons..but the thought to bring out to end SOA has been troubling me...hence the result is here. Best Practises of Service Oriented Architecture Before we drill down in the top 10 best practices followed by various organizations on SOA,we need make a note of the following 3

Dynamic Discovery Dynamic discovery is an important piece of SOA. At a high level, SOA is composed of three core pieces: service providers, service consumers, and the directory service. The role of providers and consumers are apparent, but the role of the directory service needs some explanation. The directory service is an intermediary between providers and consumers. Providers register with

Key Components of SOA The first step in learning something new is to understand its vocabulary. In the context of SOA, we have the terms service, message, dynamic discovery, and web services. Each of these plays an essential role in SOA. Service A service in SOA is an exposed piece of functionality with three properties: 1.The interface contract to the service is platform-independent. 2.The

What are the Requirements of Service Oriented Architecture? An architecture should be developed that meets all requirements, and that those requirements include: *First and foremost, leverage existing assets. Existing systems can rarely be thrown away,and often contain within them great value to the enterprise. Strategically, the objective is to build a new architecture that will yield all the

Service orientation is a means for building distributed systems. At its most abstract, service orientation views everything—from the mainframe application to the printer to the shipping dock clerk to the overnight delivery company—as a service provider. Service providers expose capabilities through interfaces. Service-oriented architecture maps these capabilities and interfaces so they can be

These items include no more blue-screens (hard crashes) caused by the graphics driver, and moving more processing into what's known as user mode.

We've been watching the Longhorn development cycle for several years now. Microsoft is attempting its most ambitious operating system project in the company's history, and it seems to be an ever-receding target. We took a look at a very early alpha that was released at the Windows Professional Developer's Conference last fall. At that point in time, the OS still seemed like a collection of

Indigo, the Web services subsystem that will be built into Longhorn, the next release of Windows, offers developers several advantages; but the key one is productivity, contends Steven VanRoekel, director of Web services at Microsoft.

Heres some news on Google and How it is making arrangements for Longhorn OS..Pretty Interesting hah! Google has the infrastructure (and perhaps the technology) to learn a LOT about the surfer. They know through their google ads which sites I visit and using their PhDs they can figure out contexts based on my web trails and patterns. >> Location searches They're preparing location searches.

Hi, I used to wonder what is RSS? in my initial days when i started blogging..Well, here is a simple answer for that..Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for your site. Originated by UserLand in 1997 and subsequently used by Netscape to fill channels for Netcenter, RSS has

You'd think there would be a lot of good POP3 code floating around for .NET since it's a ubiquitous protocol that's been around more than 10 years but the libraries I could find were either commercial, didn't support MIME attachments, or just didn't seem like they were trustworthy code... As I was about to give up I found Pawel Lesnikowski's Mail namespace for C#, which so far has worked

Session Variables Overuse will sap resources on heavily loaded web server. 3.) Server.Transfer Appears to be a clean way of

You can think of HTML as a markup that was squarely designed to be readable, but not very toolable. SOAP on the other hand is very toolable, but almost impossible to read. In the design of XAML we constantly walk the line between the two. XAML has support for inline
