Moving to India DPE

I haven't been able to post for a long time as I was involved in too many things - one of the things happen to be my move to India DPE as an Architect Evangelist.

I am really excited about the opportunity to interact with developers and architects in India. Every Indian professional in USA has this dream of going back to India and work there and I am really glad that this is becoming true in my case. I am starting my new job on May 24th of this month and like I said earlier I am super excited to be transferred to the 'front-line'. (Actually, I see that more of a love front rather than a war front. Not sure why people characterise field as a 'war front'.)

I will continue to post my views on SOA, Data and other such things in my blog.

BTS 2004

IMHO, Biztalk Server is the only team in Microsoft that understands integration issues. They have delivered a product that in my opinion provides complete solution for the B2B as well as EAI scenarios. The two things I love about the product are - Orchestration and Business Rules Engine. BTS architecture is really elegant and it is built for customization from the ground up. It is possible mainly because, various components like (Pipeline components, Adapters, Ports, Message Bus etc) are loosely coupled. I could have done certain things differently - like keeping orchestratin little bit loosely coupled from the messaging etc. But, I was the first one to bitch about loose integration between orchestration and messaging in the previous version.

They really worked their tail off to deliver a quality product; their perseverance and hard-work deserves a round of applause.

While we are it, please bookmark Scott Woodgate's blog. I am sure he is interested in your feedback.
