With a bit less prep than last year and a bit more prep than the year before, I will be presenting at this years Australian TechEd on the Gold Coast.  I will be re-delivering on of the topics delivered at US TechEd:

·         CON310 - Building Connected Systems on the Microsoft .NET Framework Using the Windows Communication Foundation Adapter in BizTalk Server 2006 R2

o   09/08/2007 1:45 PM - 3:00 PM

o   Track(s): Connected Systems

o   Level: 300

o   Building applications today requires the ability to create secure, reliable connections between systems; manage complex business processes, transactions and rules; and integrate with systems of all kinds. Microsoft provides a number of technologies and products to help in building these applications, but understanding how these tools all work together can be difficult. In this session, we examine using Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and Windows CardSpace together to build today’s connected systems. Discussion includes the integration points available in these products, with an emphasis on the WCF adapters and including the adapter framework in BizTalk Server R2, and how to apply the technologies together.

So if you are interested in seeing how BizTalk 2006 R2 plays with the latest .Net technologies come along and see for yourself.
