If you have been wondering why we have been quiet for so long – well we have been busy lately… and for a good reason - within a week from now we are going to present some very exciting sessions and demos at the Professional Developers Conference in LA.

The first session will provide a sneak peak to BizTalk’s future with a demo of some cool innovations that will dramatically enhance BizTalk developer productivity and will make BizTalk more appealing to .NET developers using WF and WCF technologies.

Following are the details of the BizTalk sessions:
