The Avalon and Indigo Community Technology Preview is now available, but to MSDN subscribers only for now. Sells is pushing content about the bits on the Indigo section of the Longhorn developer center on MSDN.

I know you all get annoyed with high level articles, but I felt it was important to get one out there that simply went after the high level benefits of WS-Security and why you would want to use Web Services Enhancements (WSE). I compiled a slew of internal...

That is what I thought when my boss, Dr. Bix, gave me a new iPAQ (yes, ungrateful person). It sat in my office for a few months collecting dust until today when I ripped it open. So it has a keyboard, so what, it's not a phone and where is the camera...

Believe it or not, Tech Ed planning has begun. And I have a question for you. The Connected Systems track last year was very successful. There is a discussion on marrying the content from that track and the BPI track (Think BizTalk and Host Integration...

Blogging has always lead me to find out about things I didn't already know about. So I figured I would throw this out there... I track numerous projects for current WSE customers to help drive product direction, customer evidence, etc. There are some...

Gudge is the man! Thanks for all your hard work. Check out some of his early implementation code and samples . MTOM (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism) is now a Candidate Recommendation.

Chris is doing a lot of real implementation work with WSE! He just started blogging, and his content is already intense. We have him slated for a formal article on MSDN for using SCT with virtual endpoints. In the meantime, he is seeding you with knowledge...

Is there such as thing as a Web services developer? What do you identify as? A SQL dev or a SQL Server dev? Information Systems dev? VB, C#, or Java? J2EE/EJB developer? MSMQ or MQSeries? Do you identify as a distributed systems developer? Why? I am curious...

There are numerous folks out there doing some really kewl stuff with the WSE 2.0 bits. Savas for instance has been doing work with Grid computing and now has an implementation of WS-Eventing coming down the pipe . What are your business needs? Have you...

Anyone going to Tech Ed who wants to do a brainstorming session on how to pull off the best applied XML and Web services trade show, let Chris or I know. We rocked last year and are still discussing the possibilities of this year. It was truly a no overhead...

I just want to start off by saying thank you to the numerous folks that I received submissions for the Connected Systems Track we will be having at Tech Ed this year. We tried something new this year. We lined up the track to provide solutions for common...

We have an awesome track this year! We are calling the track Connected Applications . Web services will be a huge component of the overall track. The theme will be providing solutions for a number of customer problems for distributed connected applications...

My apologies for the delay.  We just added a new server for the GotDotNet bloggers.  We were requested not to add new entries for a couple of days.  Live again! Here is the slide deck that Greg Andrews, Architect and Program...

There was tons of effort put into this comphrensive guidance.  I learned a lot about the MS platform when I reviewed this one.  Would love to know how valueable collateral like this is for you: FoodMovers: Building Distributed Applications...

I am desperately behind on all the wonderful things I want to blog about.   I feel a major sense of relief now that the PDC is over with and Indigo is disclosed.   My dialogs will be far more fluent moving forward as a result of this.  ...

Earlier in the Summer I took a rock climbing class at Stone Gardens in Ballard. I left the gym pretty fired up thinking this would be a great way to explain some our WS-* technology to the not so technologically savvy. I spent a couple of hours that evening...

Social implications of making SOAs a reality I have begun doing executive briefings at Microsoft.  10 months of employment and I now know enough about the MS offering to really begin engaging.  Generally what these briefings entail...

A methapor understanding SecureConversation and Trust. Chris Kaler a few weeks ago unlocked my understanding of SecureConversation and Trust with a very easy to understand metaphor. I think it is worth sharing. I have been spending a bit of time trying...
