Presentation: "Building Biztalk Services"

Track: .NET: Client, Server, Cloud

Time: Wednesday 17:00 - 18:00

Location: Westminster Suite

Abstract:

Biztalk Services introduces the concept of an Internet Service Bus. A set of foundational capabilities that can be considered as part of a ubiquitous fabric that distributed applications rely on and which help to enable a completely new breed of applications that are not possible to have today.

We'll explore areas that include Identity, Connectivity and Workflow, and how the inclusion of these capabilities as part of a fabric can simplify the development of a SOA deployed locally or in the cloud.
