Webcasts on BizTalk Scenarios

Kevin Lam talks about BizTalk Server 2006 End-to-End Scenarios: Business Process Management and Richard Seroter talk about End-to-End Scenarios: Creating Service-Oriented Solutions with BizTalk Server 2006.

It's interesting how one finds resources when one is not actively looking for them. I was just browsing around at msdn.microsoft.com when I found the two webcasts listed above. I downloaded both, the first is 7 MB with 1:06h of viewing and the second is 8 MB with a length of 1:09h. Both relate to the BizTalk Scenarios, or BizTalk End-to-End Scenarios which is the full name.

I once co-presented the first webcast at an internal conference together with Ken Knight, and as preparation for that I had several discussions together with Kevin as he has been deeply involved in the development of the BPM scenario. That he has influenced my view on this topic is quite obvious when I listen to the webcast, our main points are formulated very similar and he uses a few expressions that I also have used in my text.

I think that the code walkthrough Kevin performs about the Business Process Versioning pattern is very valuable if you are trying to understand that pattern, it is a very nice extension to my attempts to describe it in my post.

As these webcats provide lots of great information I'm going to find inspiration (or steal :-) in their content and base some more BizTalk Scenarios blog posting on the topics in them. I already had the Interruptable Business Process and Request Broker topics lined up, and perhaps I will be able to finish them quicker now.
