With TechEd Developer closer at hand, I've put together the latest schedule data for sessions of interest to developers for each of the different products. The first group is sessions of general interest. The second group is sessions focusing on WCF and WF development. The third group is sessions focusing on CardSpace development. The fourth group is sessions focusing on BizTalk development. Microsoft Strategy and Vision for SOA by Oliver Sharp Services are fundamentally changing the way we build, deploy, and manage applications. In this session we identify common challenges, and share our latest guidance and success stories. In addition, we outline Microsoft's strategy to simplify complexity in a service oriented world using our frameworks, servers, and online services. The Road to "Oslo": The Microsoft Services and Modeling Platform by David Chappell Microsoft's "Oslo" project aims at creating a unified platform for model-based, service-oriented applications. This new approach will affect the next versions of several products and technologies, including the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft BizTalk Server, Microsoft System Center, and more. Although many details of "Oslo" won't be public until later in 2008, this session provides an overview of what Microsoft has revealed so far. Along with a description of the problems it addresses, the session includes a look at several new "Oslo" technologies, including a general-purpose modeling language, role-specific modeling tools, a shared model repository, and a distributed service bus. Platforms for SOA and Business Process Management: Comparing .NET and Java by David Chappell The .NET and Java/J2EE worlds have been competitors for several years. How do things stack up today? And what will the future look like? This session provides an independent perspective on how these two environments compare, focused on technologies for SOA and BPM. Comparisons include Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) vs. pure BPEL workflow and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) vs. Service Component Architecture (SCA). Framework and Microsoft BizTalk Best Practices with an Eye Toward "Oslo" by Jon Flanders Microsoft has announced "Oslo", the code-name for a wave of technology affecting the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft BizTalk Server, and the idea of building service-oriented systems using Microsoft technologies. In this session we discuss what we know so far about these technologies, and how to think about Read More...

I noticed the other day that the TechEd sites have started getting an extensive collection of session titles although it looks like no other descriptions are available. I'm just taking a guess about what most of these talks are going to be about, but I'm predicting that this audience will find these talks from the TechEd Developer half of the conference interesting. I haven't tried to figure out the Silverlight talks yet because those are too hard to predict from just the titles. WCF AJAX-Enable Your Windows Communication Foundation Services Building Federated Solutions on the Internet Service Bus Building RESTful Services Using Windows Communication Foundation 3.5 Building Secure Web Services Using Windows Communication Foundation Durable Windows Communication Foundation Services Integrating Business Applications with Windows Communication Foundation Productive Windows Communication Foundation Providing Load Balancing, Application-Level Failover, and Centralized Configuration Management with Windows Communication Foundation Services and Microsoft .NET Applications WF Building Human Workflows with Windows Workflow Foundation State Machines Getting Workflows Running and Talking in Your Applications BizTalk Degrees of Freedom Port Binding in Microsoft BizTalk Server Microsoft BizTalk in the Supply Chain: Providing Supply Chain Visibility with EDI and Business Activity Monitoring Windows Communication Foundation Adapters in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Framework and Microsoft BizTalk Best Practices with an Eye Toward "Oslo" CardSpace What's New with Windows CardSpace in the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Read More...

I gave a chalk talk on channel development in the afternoon yesterday. I did a huge experiment for the second-half of the talk, which was to write a custom channel from scratch for the audience. That's the kind of theater that you can pull off in a chalk talk but not a regular breakout session. I started with a completely empty Visual Studio environment, wrote a web service, explained why the web service call crashed due to a protocol issue, and then fixed the crash by writing a custom channel. We had 46 people in the audience at the start. The capacity of the chalk talk theaters is only 32 people, but we secured about a dozen extra chairs from the lounges and people stood along the back. Capacity was an issue for several of the chalk talks yesterday. I saw one chalk talk for BizTalk that had crammed almost 60 people into the room. If you're in the audience, it starts getting quite warm after a while. The breakout session rooms are quite spacious on the other hand so I haven't seen any problems there. The Orlando venue has a tremendous capacity and a generally good layout. The only other difficulty was that the standard equipment was a non-adjustable over-ear headset microphone. In addition to making you look like a cross between a call-center worker and a pop star, that type of mic is pretty uncomfortable to wear for an hour and picks up a lot of extra noise if you move around while talking. I tried a half-dozen ways of putting the headset on to fix the issues before the AV guy offered a standard lapel microphone. They had one sitting in the AV case in the room. I don't know why they didn't make the proper equipment available from the start. I promised at the end of the talk that I'd post some resources. Ed Pinto and Kenny Wolf are giving a talk "Architecture of Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation and Common Extensibility Points" on Thursday at 4:30 PM. Steve Maine is giving the buzzword titled talk "Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation Syndication, AJAX and REST Services in Web 2.0 with .NET Framework 3.5" on Friday at 1 PM. There are six samples that I particularly recommend for channel developers. Chunking channel HttpCookieSession channel UDP transport WSE transport UDP activation Config code generator Finally, here is the code that was written during the talk. The scenario was based on an HTTP problem I described back in August . using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.ServiceModel; using System.ServiceModel.Channels; Read More...

I'll be giving another talk on channel development for WCF this year at TechEd. Due to the selection of sessions, there's really only one good lead-in talk and it's currently scheduled for later in the week. That means that I'll be spending more time on background material than I normally would. However, if you have any questions about channel development that you'd like to see covered, submit them between now and May 18th. Read More...
