The Microsoft SOA & Business Process Conference is coming soon. This is a great 4-day conference held at the Microsoft campus at an awesome price - only $199! Consider that TechEd costs nearly $2,000! Of course you have to pay to get there, but really, this is still a terrific deal.
The conference features four tracks, three technical and one business:
- Service Oriented Architecture (incl. BizTalk 2006, WCF, WF, HIS and more)
- Connected Systems Technology and Products (.NET 3.0 and BizTalk 2006)
- Business Process Management (Office System 2007 and BizTalk 2006 R2)
- Business Value (Why care and what are the opportunities)
The agenda and sessions are still being finalized, so keep checking the conference website for updates.
I'm pleased to announce that I will be presenting the following session in the SOA track, so I hope to see you there!
Effective Techniques for Working with Large Messages in a Service-Oriented Architecture
In a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), small messages are easy to work with and don't create extra challenges of their own, but various issues arise when the message size grows to megabytes in size. This session will identify the issues you should consider and then explore specific techniques that you can use to work effectively with large messages in ASP.NET 2.0 Web services and BizTalk Server 2006.
