When you think it cannot get worse...

... you end up presenting at TechEd. Yesterday was fun (of a sort) I ended up doing the demo section of the ESB Guidance session at TechEd. This session was scheduled to be done by Robert Hogg (Black Marble) and Ewan Fairweather (Microsoft) but Ewan had to fly home early unexpectedly on Friday morning...

Last day at SOA - day 4

Seems quiet here today at the SOA conference, less people about. I wonder how many have sneaked off early for flights? It does seem to be mostly Europeans left, judging by the languages I have heard. This does not mean parking was easy this morning, as in the same conference center Bill Gates and Bill...

A trip out to a Seattle Landmark

There is more to Seattle than the Space Needle and flying fish at Pike Place Market . At the end of the SOA conference today I persuaded Robert to embark on a tourist adventure, to brave the Seattle traffic and go to Archie McPhee " Outfitters of Popular Culture" . It should have been a 20...

Thoughts from the SOA conference - day 3

As with all conferences you tend to flag part way through, you start to think of the flight home and not having to sit in yet another session (no matter how interesting it sound on paper). It starts to seem all sessions are either in a cold draft or tropical atmosphere. At this point I have to say I...

Microsoft SOA Conference - day 2

I have focused on the the more developer end of SOA today. In the morning excellent sessions by Aaron Skonnard and Matt Milner on using WCF in BizTalk and best WF practices respectively, both provided an interesting set of gotta's to look out for. Check their blogs if this is an area you work in...

Where are all the people?

Since arriving in the Bellevue/Redmond area I have been struck by the lack of people. Wherever I have gone it seems like the place was built for at least twice the number that are present, whether it be the shopping centers or restaurants. I wondered was it because: the others are soon to arrive half...

Microsoft SOA Conference - end of day 1

So my thoughts at the end of day.... Certainly a useful day, but the conference seems a little slow. The breaks seem long,the sessions short and the breakout sessions finished quite early in the day. Maybe I am just used to the crammed in format of TechEd that go on late into the evening. On the plus...

SOA Buzzword Bingo Part 1

SOA being a conference on business process is a great place to learn new words for the game of buzzword bingo , new ones to me thus far are: Onboarding - to hire staff Toast - information provided via a gadget on the desktop

Microsoft SOA Conference Day 1

After a couple of days in the Washington state my body has caught up to a manageable time zone (somewhere east of Denver I think, but that is close enough) just in time for for the start of the Microsoft SOA 2007 conference . The keynote for me highlighted that Microsoft see the future in the cloud,...
