I did say we had a bigger announcement and we did. In the last post, I gave the "official" announcement. However, I have a personal and professional relationship with the product and I would like to start a series of posts on it now, as David, the Neuron Architect is doing . His post gives a detailed paragraph of major features, and indeed, there are a lot! 2.0 has over 60 new features over 1.0 and Neuron is a powerful product that enables various scenarios. In designing the product, we didn't want to get religious about what an ESB was. There are plenty of people doing that as well as whether or not an ESB is needed or not. Instead, we wanted to take a practical approach and solve our Microsoft customer problems. So Neuron came out of real customer scenarios in trying to use the .NET Framework 3.0 (WCF) and other Microsoft technologies. For the purposes One thing we saw was a lack of WCF adoption due to the steep learning curve. People like myself, find it incredibly simpler then the mess of distributed stacks we had to deal with before, but I am in the minority. Moreover, most IT shops don't have developers experienced in this kind of programming. What they have is C# and VB ASP.NET developers, who, as they should be, are focused on delivering business value. We saw similar pain points in SOA adoption. There are real benefits in SOA but people are either off on vendor exercises or writing a ton of infrastructure code. In either case, the real benefit of Business Read More...

Meeting Reminder 27 March 2008 5:30 – 7:30 pm Diamond Technologies, Inc Sam Gentile Advanced WCF: Asynchronous Messaging and Event-Driven Architectures Sponsored by: Diamond Technologies, Inc. Directions Many WCF developers start and end with the Request/Response Message Exchange Pattern. In actuality, there is a wide variety of Message Exchange Patterns cataloged by Hohpe and Woolfe in books like “Enterprise Integration Patterns” and Pattern & Practices “Integration Patterns.” In this advanced talk, that starts where most WCF talks leave off, we will show you how to build more loosely-coupled services and systems via these MEPs and with WCF. We will then focus on the powerful List-Based Publish/Subscribe Design Pattern. Upon showing how many lines of WCF code are required to implement the pattern in WCF, we will show the pattern as the basis for the Neuron ESB and achieve the same results with zero code. We will then focus on Mediation and how ESBs help mediate between disparate services. Technorati Tags: INETA , WCF , SOA , Neudeisc , Neuron , ESB Read More...

For the NuCon events we have been running with Microsoft to launch the 2008 Launch Wave, we have been giving out these Neudesic/Microsoft shirts that, IMHO, are really cool - they have this cool timeline on the back on how we see we got to here and shows a lot of the things we focus on (i.e. We use Agile/Scrum methodologies exclusively to run our projects): Simula 67 '67 Pascal '70 Internet Goes Public '92 SQL Server 4.21 Shipped '92 Scrum Created '93 SOA Coined '96 MS Released OLAP Services '98 EAI Coined '99 C# Announced '00 Web Services Coined '00 WSDL 1.0 Spec.

We are running our developer conference again three times this year. This is all on Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 technologies you need in order to be productive like LINQ, Silverlight, ADO.NET Entity Framework, WCF, and SQL Server 2008. I will be speaking at the NYC event on Real World SOA, WCF and WF. When Thursday, February 21st, 2008 8:30am-5:00pm Breakfast and lunch will be provided Where New York Marriott East Side 525 Lexington Ave. at 49th St. New York, NY 10017 [see map] Cost $75 per person Includes sessions, attendee bag, t-shirt, breakfast, lunch, and raffle tickets <>Break </> Three Tracks: Visual Studio 2008 SQL 2008 IO 9:45a -11:00a Session 1 LINQ The upcoming release of Visual Studio 2008 includes significant updates to the Visual Basic and C# languages. The most significant of these enhancements is Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which adds general-purpose query syntax to the Visual Basic and C# languages. Using LINQ, you can query collections, databases, and XML content using a clear and consistent syntax. This talk will describe LINQ, including LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML, and LINQ to Objects. We’ll also spend some time on some fundamental changes to C# that enable LINQ, such as anonymous types, extension methods, and Lambda expressions. Presented by: Mickey Williams, Technical Director, Neudesic Enterprise Data Platform Microsoft has cast a new vision for data management. They are looking to harness, secure, and keep available all Read More...

A reminder for those in the area is that I will be doing an Advanced WCF talk at Philly Code Camp 2008.1 will be held on Saturday, January 12th at DeVry University in Fort Washington, PA . We have 8 tracks and 48 sessions!! It's all sold out but at least I know one guy who is looking forward to hearing me speak :) Neudesic is a Gold Sponsor again. Please come see our booth and talk to us. Not only do we want to be active in the local community but we also want to talk to developers that want to join our fast growing team!

BizTalk Services This is one way to find out that the BizTalk Services hosted at http://biztalk.net have been updated :) WCF/Web Service Software Factory/Oslo/Neudesic I really love the new Web Services Software Factory and the Contract Modeling capabilities. They just recently released the WCF Security Guidance Package which automates applying security settings and guidance. After the last four years with Indigo, it is really the security that is the toughest part, simply because there are *so* many options to choose from. This really helps. Pablo has a nice post on WCF Dependency Injection Marty makes it official After almost 3 years of the one talk SOA with WCF that I have been doing (its been changed every time though), I am going for a very deep, advanced WCF talk on Pub-Sub and advanced MEP concepts and then showing how to get that advanced capability out of the box with our Neuron ESB at the upcoming Philly Code Camp . I am going to leap in at the place my other talks have ended and spend a lot more time on what you can achieve with WCF. I'm happy to announce that again, Neudesic will be a Gold Sponsor at the event UX Speaking of us, UX is one of our up and coming Practices and they recently impressed at the Phizzpop Design Challenge in Austin. Josh Holmes had this to say, " Neudesic actually worked out of the room that I was hanging out at to be available the entire time. They had three team members, two devs and a pure designer. It was great to watch how Read More...

A further note about what I just blogged about what our upcoming Webinar and CNUG with the applications Chad and I are developing. I will be showing and giving out to the community tonight a significant portion of our code. These demo applications Chad and I developed are both influenced by our backgrounds. Both of us have just had similar experiences that last few years, Chad at JP Morgan Chase and myself at Algo. In my two years at Algo, as detailed on this blog and Steve's, we used all the XP Practices/TDD/NUnit, Repositories/DDD, O/RM, etc to develop our WCF Services, the Smart Client, and the rest of the system. Chad did a similar thing at JPMC. Given that, when we went to implement our demo applications, we didn't want them to be just the same old Purchase Order demos. We wanted to reflect our love of Domain Driven Design, TDD and O/RM as well as show best practice "Fowler Patterns." I spend a significant time in my "SOA talks" for INETA focusing on the Architectural and Software Design patterns like Service Interface, Repositories, etc. So lon story short, we have developed an Order and an Inventory system using DDD all through out focusing on our Entity Model. We have shown best practices like the Repository pattern and we use N/Hibernate as our O/RM. We show testing your Repository layer via NUnit tests. In addition, the WCF services utilize Translators, Service Adapters and other patterns from the Web Service Software Factory (WSSF). So, we Read More...
