• A (fiscal) year in review

  It's that time of the year again: the end of June marks the end of the fiscal year, and for us it's time to reflect on what we've done in the past 12 months. Vast majority of the things I've done are internal-only or with high profile customers that can't be mentioned publicly until their PR departments give the green light, hence I won't discuss those here; however I think it's interesting to share with you a summary of some of the things that I worked on, just to give you a measure of how .NET3.0 (especially CardSpace in my case) is relevant. It should give you an hint of how much impact you can have working in my group, so you'll be able to put announcements like this in the right perspective! I also hope that this will boost your confidence that the content of our upcoming book is based on very solid real world experience, earned by working daily with our key accounts in the identity space: the PG intent is tempered by immersing it in requirements from customer actually shipping solutions based on this thing that we call CardSpace. Which, by the way, is the reason for which I'm still at the computer at this time... big stuff is going on in cardspaceland! Projects, Briefings, Deep Dives This year I've worked with or briefed more than 45 enterprise companies on CardSpace/WCF/WF, good part of it at the very top of the fortune100 and global100 (ah, btw: just subscribed to Fortune. I was buying it all the times anyway). Sometimes it was just a 2 hours personalized QA, some other Read More...

• Build castles in the Cloud with the new drop of the BizTalk Services SDK

  Yesterday night I was going through the unresolved parts of the inbox, a fairly boring task, when Dennis rescued me: he chimed in via Messenger reminding me that a new version of the BizTalk Services SDK is out. It wasn't hard to switch my attention to something far more exciting, and I promptly installed it. If you had the old version of the SDK on your machine, I suggest uninstalling it before installing the new one. For the ones that were bold enough to play with the new binding at low level: the changes in the machine.config show how the assembly hierarchy and the object model changed: <!-- <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <relayBinding> <binding name="metadataExchangeRelayBinding" /> </relayBinding> </bindings> <client> <endpoint address="" binding="relayBinding" bindingConfiguration="metadataExchangeRelayBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="net.relay" /> <metadata> <policyImporters> <extension type="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Relay.Description.RelayBindingElementImporter, Microsoft.ServiceModel.Relay, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /> </policyImporters> <wsdlImporters> <extension type="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Relay.Description.RelayBindingImporter, Microsoft.ServiceModel.Relay, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /> <extension type="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Relay.Description.RelayBindingElementImporter, Microsoft.ServiceModel.Relay, Read More...
