BizTalk 2006 – Deep Technical Training

I’m attending an internal BizTalk 2006 deep dive training session given by one of the BizTalk product team members at Microsoft who is close to the product internals and has lots of practical knowledge. It’s being held for both Microsoft and Virtual Technical Specialists. It’s not your typical deep dive and focuses heavily on architecture, farms, high availability, best practices, tuning, internals, considerations when designing solutions, and more. It’s been a long, but very cool week so far.

As time permits, I’ll begin posting interesting things we’ve discussed along the way. You might not come across anything new, but if you do, great! Most are common sense and good engineering practices; however others could be things you simply haven’t thought about yet or practices you haven’t followed. Given the flexibility and breadth of the product there are always going to be new things to consider.
