DonXml is speaking at PDC

PDC is here again!

This year my friend and colleague Don Demsak and Andrew Brust will be presenting a business intelligence (BI) workshop covers some of the fundamental patterns and techniques that can help developers to build modern BI applications in the Microsoft platform. Specifically, the workshop will focus on how to merge the traditional aspects of BI solutions  such as analytics, reporting, data aggregation into widely adopted technologies like SharePoint Server and Office in general.

If you are attending to PDC you should definitely attend to this workshop. Andrew and Don and both fantastic speakers and thought leaders in the community. Given said that, feel free to give Don a hard time. At the end, it is an all day workshop ;)

South Florida BizTalk User Group: Improving agility with the ESB 2.0 toolkit

Next Tuesday (November 10th) my colleague Uri Katsir will be presenting a session at the South Florida BizTalk Users Group about improving agility in large BizTalk environments using the ESB toolkit. If you are a BizTalk developer or operations architect working on complex BizTalk deployments you MUST attend Uri's session. In order to keep things in perspective, Uri has prepared a series of interesting demos that illustrate the techniques used to improve the development and management experience of BizTalk solutions by leveraging the ESB toolkit. The presentation is 100% focused on real world scenarios including some of the lessons Uri has learned while working on one of the most complex BizTalk environments in the world.
