Webcasts in the Cloud
I’ve just added PDF and CHM versions of “Windows Azure Service Bus Developer Guide”, you can get them here. The HTML browsable version is here. I have the first delivery of my 2-day course “SOA, Connectivity and Integration using the Windows Azure Service Bus” scheduled for 3-4 May in Stockholm. Feel free to contact me via my blog if you have any questions about the course, or would be interested in an on-site delivery. Details of the course are here ......
The November 2011 release expands on the Service Bus brokered messaging content to provide more details of the features. Deadlettering and message expiration are covered, along with message deferral, duplicate message detection, message correlation and sessions.
Get it here.
Tibi has delivered another round of intervenes with some of the presenters at PDC. Vittorio Bertocci, Sara Ford, Ted Malone, Brad Abrams, Ade Miller and Don Box shared their ideas on the latest and greatest technology, and also their visions of the future. Tibi also interviewed Jon Flanders and Paula Januszkievicz at TechEd in Berlin. The interviews are here. Update: It seems there is a permissions issue with Azure Storage Tables at the moment, so you get an error when you try to view videos. Hopefuly ......
Due to technical issues, (well, me not reading my hotmail account or any Azure blogs actually) I had a slight “outage” on CloudCasts. The USA-Northwest Azure data centres closed, taking my site with it. After a frantic couple of hours (midnight to 2 AM Swedish time) I’m back up and running in a shiny new data centre in USA-Southwest. The site is now running again at www.cloudcasts.net, but due to the change in the Azure app name, links to cloudtv.cloudapp.net are broken. At the moment I am seeing ......
On Monday I was up at the Swedish Microsoft campus north of Stockholm for an interview for MSDN Radio. “MSDN Radio – Oslo och Dublin, en rundresa bland kodnamn” (Oslo & Dublin, a tour of the codenames). Dag König, Johan Lindfors, Mikael Deurell and Robert Folkesson, were providing the singing and the questions, and we were discussing as much as we are allowed to talk about relating to Oslo and Dublin before the PDC. The intro is in Swedish, but from 05:45 it’s in English. The link is here ......
Tibi and I are winding down after a hectic few days at the ØreDev conference in Sweden. It was a great conference, with a lot of international speakers and attendees, and a good mix of technologies and tracks. One of the highlights was Ze Frank, who was delivering his stand up comedy routine, which was targeted just right for the attendees. I laid down the gauntlet to Tibi by challenging him to get an interview with Ze, and he accepted and delivered the goods, thanks to Herbjörn Wilhelmsen for chatting ......
Tiberiu “Tibi” Covaci, the CloudCasts international correspondent was in Bulgaria last week for the DevReach 2009 conference. During a hectic few days he managed to pin down some of the main presenters and technology influencers for his “Five Minutes With…” interview series. The interviews with Chris Sells, Richard Campbell, Christian Weyer and Carl Franklin have been published with four more to be released later this week. Tibi will also be at TechEd Berlin, OreDev in Malmoe and PDC in Los Angeles, ......
I never really “got” the idea of the need to build a textual DSL when I was first introduced to MGrammar. The light really switched on when I looked into developing a DSL that would make it easier for developers to create BAM activities. The BAML language only took a couple of hours to develop. I had experimented with simple text based DSLs before, so this was my first “real” language. I have recorded a 20 minute webcast showing how the language works, and how it can be used. If you want to experiment ......
A week ago Brian Loesgen was in town presenting at the Developer Summit here in Stockholm. Brian was kind enough to present at the BizTalk User Group in Sweden, and we pulled our resources to deliver a joint session on BizTalk Server Development best practices and BizTalk Server Administration best practices. The presentation was recorded and should be available on Channel 9 shortly. The next evening we had a second BizTalk User Group meeting with Paolo Salvatory who is a BizTalk Ranger (I know they ......
I’ve just added a new webcast to BloggersGuides.net, on an introduction to MGrammar. I have another one in the pipeline which I hope to get out next week that will look at a more real-world example of using MGrammar. I found MGrammar confusing at first, and thought it would be one of the least used features of Oslo, but after having had the time to experiment with it a bit and get to know how it works I can think of a lot of scenarios where I will consider using it. At the MVP summit I met up with ......
