BizTalk R2 Adapter Framework: Tools for generating metadata
The new metadata generation is one of the areas that present significant differences between the .NET 3.0 and BizTalk adapter frameworks.

SSIS components for Salesforce.com
Mid last year AdapterWorx published its first components for SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Yesterday we released the first beta version of the Salesforce.com Winter 07 data flow components (source and destination). Using those components developers can create SSIS packages that perform heavy CRUD operations against Salesforce.com. Particularly, the SSIS components represent a natural complement to the AdapterWorx Salesforce.com adapters for BizTalk Server 2006 and R2. Kudos to Alexis Naranjo (dev Lead), Danny and Joel for all the effort getting this version ready for this week. The full RTM package should be available in the next couple of weeks.

SuperBowl XLI
I have to admit I am not a big football fan. However, living and working in Miami, FL is impossible to ignore the energy the city has gotten as a result of hosting the SuperBowl tomorrow. No need to say South Beach has enough energy without the SuperBowl.
