REST presentation demos and slides
Thanks to all the folks who attended to my session about RESTful services at the New York Connected Systems User Group and at the Orlando Code Camp. I had a lot of fun in both event and got some interesting feedback. The presentations and demos can be downloaded here.

BizTalk Server R2 at the Orlando Code Camp
More exciting news from the Orlando Code Camp. My good friend (drum roll... the one, the only J) Danny del Rio is going to be presenting a session about Enterprise Integration (EAI) Patterns using BizTalk Server R2. Danny has put together a series of cool samples that explore some of the most important EAI design patterns that developers can leverage on BizTalk solutions. If you are a developer looking into enterprise integration scenarios with Microsoft technologies you must attend Danny’s session.

REST at the Orlando Code Camp
Thanks to all the folks who attended to my session at the New York City Connected Systems User Group. As usual (in that User Group) I got a lot of interesting questions and feedback. Special kudos to Kent Brown who does a phenomenal job running the user group. I will publish the slides and demos early next week.

Speaking at New York CSD User Group
Next Monday (17th) I will be speaking at the Microsoft's Connected Systems User Group in New York. This time, I am going to be talking about RESTful services best practices. We are going to cover a broad set of topics ranging from REST fundamental concepts to RESTful services best practices and patterns. Specifically, we will explore how to implement Enterprise services capabilities such as Authentication, Authorization, Transactions, Versioning into RESTful services as well as how to overcome some of the RESTful services traditional challenges such as Low-REST support, service description, multi-format resources, etc. I've put together a bunch of demonstrations fundamentally based on WCF 3.5 but also touching other technologies such as ADO.NET Data Services and LINQ. Finally, I would like to spend a few minutes talking about how REST is influencing Microsoft's Connected Systems Technology stack and speculate a little bit on what we can expect to see on the near future.

RDB2RDF Incubator Group
I am super excited to see W3C taking this initiative. There are lots of data exchange scenarios that are can be benefited from the use of RDF and undoubtedly designing the mechanisms for representing relational data as RDF graphs is a big step forward. ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) already did some prototyping of a similar idea.
