I could get used to this rolling out of bed into my office thing BizTalk Server The highly anticipated R2 release (the one with WCF Adapters) of BizTalk Server 2006 is coming real soon! Worldwide launches take place in September and October . WCF/WF Dr, Nick announces the WCF/WF/Cardspace Beta 2 samples , again, this time not pointing to the Beta 1 samples :) Sharepoint/MOSS Just Published: Major Update to the MOSS and WSS Downloadable SDKs CLR My friend Lutz updates the #1 tool in the .NET world, Reflector, for Orcas Beta 2! Stop what you're doing and get it! Along with that, one of the best add-ins, Reflector.Emit has been updated Another mastereful post from Joe Duffy: Thread interrupts are (almost) as evil as thread aborts Read More...

In a post on January 25th , I said, "I posted yesterday that we had shipped our Enterprise Collateral Management solution based on our new architecture. As I said, we still have a lot more to do ." I provided a concise list of the methodologies, technologies and tools that we used in our 14 month cycle. To update where we are now, it will be necessary for me to give a little more context. First, when I mention "our company", we are actually a Division exclusively devoted to Collateral Management. This division, in turn is part of a much larger worldwide company that has at least 6 more financial sector products dealing with other aspects of managing risk. That company then, in turn is part of a huge Ratings company. The rest of the products are (mostly) integrated into one suite that we sell. Ours is not. One reason is that the various products have been organized into self-contained product groups. That means that we had our own development, marketing, sales, product and management for just Collateral Management. Five or six weeks ago, our company went through a rather large reorganization that aligned things by a global R&D, global Marketing, etc. I think this is an extremely good thing. Our product is now "owned" by R&D which also owns all the other products that are part of the suite and otherwise and we are detached from product so we can focus on development. We can also look at integrating into the suite and bi-directional learning. One consequence of this is now instead of my boss reporting to a VP of Collateral Management, he reports to a Senior Director in R&D who owns a product out of our large offices in Manhattan. The cool thing is that Josh Madden is a 20 year+ veteran developer/architect like me who has done great things in the Financial area for companies like Reuters. He gets development. The other cool thing is that his other product group also uses a lot of Agile techniques and greatly appreciates our total XP environment. One more thing: Read More...

Architecture More competition! No, I am very glad to see my good friend and Architect Harry start a series like mine and Mike's with his Morning Coffee 10 . I'm going to have to quicken the pace-) Software Development/Tools JetBrains has released their 1 .2 version of their new CI and build solution, Team City . This is very intersting from three perspectives. The first is that Jet Brains arguabally makes the best Java IDE on the planet, IntelliJ . The second is the Extreme Programming/Agile angle in that Jet Brains has always understood thsi community much better than Microsoft/VSTS and this has been reflected in IntelliJ and now Team City's support of NAnt, NUnit, and many others. The third is (much needed) competition for VS.NET/VSTS/TFS so that they can get better as well. As Scott said very well, if Microsoft is going to ignore us (Hugo the Agilist), people will look more and more to IDEs and tools that directly support the way they do work. WCF/Security A new series starts on CardSpace [via Mike ] Other Two new papers from Ralf Lämmel, who is the man behind LINQ to XSD , on Function OO Programming and the second is on XML Steaming [via Steve ] Technorati Tags: .NET , Windows Communication Foundation , WCF , Agile Development , Extreme Programming , IDE , Team City , Software Architecture , Microsoft Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it!

WPF/Avalon One thing I had forgotten about in Avalon is the XAML Browser Apps (XBAPS) sandboxed in the browser. Karen Corby has two posts here on features and the second on security levels . [Found via Lester's WPF Blog ] One of the things I am looking at architecturally for 2007, is rationalizing the different code bases and development frameworks for UI (i.e. the grand convergence of the smart client and browser client). So in that, I would like to rationalize our WinForms/CAB code base and our soon to possibly be ASP.NET projects and have one WCF code base. So the question is; is it XBAPS or WPF/e? Walt reminds us all that there is no Cider goodness in the Orcas drop and " In the meantime, use the beta version of Expression Blend, to layout your controls. The Visual Studio 2005 extensions are very rough around the edges ." Yup. Sahil on WPF Freeable Objects Windows Workflow I talked about that WCF and WF are not at all currently integrated and how that will change in the Orcas timeframe. Microsoft has put up a sample showing how to use WCF from WF. [via Thom ] K. Scott Allan has a nice piece on Managing the Workflow Runtime from ASP.NET . WCF/Indigo Dominick Baier has an interesting post on ASP.NET Control for CardSpace WCF RSS/ATOM Endpoints for dasBlog Customizing the Metadata Resolver Architecture Welcome to the January 15, 2007 edition of Carnival of Enterprise Architecture.

A N&N from Brussels Belgium where I am up in the middle of the night (again I wake up at 3AM!) with my sleep hours all screwed up. I am enjoying my week here nonetheless. I don't know quite what to make of Brussels. Some parts remind me quite a bit of Paris but there is this weird mix of "modern" glass buildings although the style is a bit "older" than such US buildings. I don't know, I'm jet lagged and probably making no sense. The (potential) customer we are visiting is actually quite large > 3,000 employees most in one large building and I have been working hard on a "High Level Technical Document." Its' certainly some BDUF but this is a large SaS type architecture across 3 data centers that has many Enterprise issues (levels of Failover, SLAs, SQL Server Hot Mirroring, Perimeter Zone Security, etc. to deal with and get right. Anyhow, the food is good and there is a lot of espresso-). Architecture The Open Group (the TOGAF guys) has scheduled what appears to be an interesting conference on Enterprise Architecture and SOA in San Diego [via Architecture Blog ] Avalon/WCF Karsten gives an update on the North Face In Store Explorer WCF application that floored many of us at PDC05 and has now been deployed . He also reminds, "Note that the white paper written about this application is still relevant and worth reading. The code samples all work just fine on the final bits and have some useful code as far as state management, image montages and a 3D carousel." My good friend and fellow Smart Client track speaker, Walt Ritscher has started a new WCF blog at http://wpfwonderland.wordpress.com - Subscribed! Check out XAML to IL Explained Part 1 , WPF/e Example - Game of Life WCF/Indigo/SOA Nicholas Allan has his best of 2006 (and what a year it was for him/them!).

You know what? Owning a pool really sucks-). Oh, it’s great to go in but not a lot of fun spending most of every Saturday going to the pool shop getting the water levels measured, spending $100 a week on chemicals, spending the rest of the day applying such chemicals, and endless vacuuming. Plus I have no F*&^^ idea what I’m doing-). Anyone sympathize? I have a whole bunch of stuff saved up since I couldn’t blog because even with 8 of us busting our humps we totally blew this Iteration (more later) and we’re all working in pieces this weekend (Yes, even on an Agile team!). It was a really awesome week for Ruby, especially in CLR land: Ruby/Rails Great news from John Gough (author of still the best CLR compiler book 4 years later) and crew at Queensland, with the preliminary Beta release of the Gardens Point Ruby.Net compiler download !! John, has some more in-depth analysis here . If you haven’t tried Ruby you owe to yourself to do so as it just may arguably be the most powerful yet simple language out there. Equally awesome news from my pal John Lam , who has released RubyCLR Drop 4. I plan to play with both of these as soon as we ship this Iteration-)). Day 1 report f rom the RailsConf 2006 Day 1 and Day 2 Report . Another Day 1 Report from Robby on Rails. Also Day 2 Part 1 CLR FxCop 1.35 release announced on FxCop blog . Shawn has a great post on Reducing Startup Time Due to Strong Name Verification WPF/Avalon The WPF blog shows how to Implement a Mac OS X Dock in WPF . Also check-out the Slinky XAML ListBox !! On the LearningWPF blog, there is a sample using a re-usable WPF Template for displaying time information WCF/Indigo/SOA/WSE Nicholas announces the availability of slides from the TechEd WCF chalk talks from the community site Kiril talks about a subject very dear to me; controlling aspects of WSDL Generation from WCF. He states that there are three main phases: 1) Design time: settings on data contract, message contract, service contract, service behavior, Read More...
