Nice post Dan and
it's all true....wow what a roadmap from
there until here, or then until now.
Hope you're all well and kicking goals like the Arsenal the Aussie
rugby team
.
I thought you should know.....recently announced at the big BizTalk conference known
as the SOA and BPM conference at Redmond (put that in your wish list to attend - it
would be great!) was the next version of BizTalk - vNext code named 'Oslo' (...checking
the north wall.....kccck...clear!.....south....kccck...clear also).
Great to have a plan I reckon! So here's the low down of it.....
Oslo will be:
- timeframe 2009+
- services enabled and model driven
- Have the following components (at this stage):
-
Built on .NET V4.0 framework
-
Server - deeply integrated with WF and WCF to host 'stuff'
-
Services - "BizTalk Services in the cloud stuff"
-
Tools - vs.net "10", app lifecycle
-
Repository - common across management, tools + runtime to manage
the 'deployed' bits.
What to do from here - not too much at the moment. It's sort of a nice to know and
for those keen at heart go and check out http://labs.BizTalk.net where
the current offering is for BizTalk Services V1.0
Register and away you go! Brilliant.
Have fun!
