I mentioned that I was looking for new opportunitie s but I have decided to concentrate my independent Microsoft .NET consulting on all things Connected Systems and Messaging. I see many shops around the country struggling with WCF and WF. In this area, I have been a part of the WCF and WF SDRs for 4 years now since the beginning and part of the large 2-year WCF and WF effort at Algorithmics. I am available, on a consulting basis , to help you with your WCF, WF and BizTalk needs. In addition, I believe that WCF is too low-level and difficult for many shops that are pursuing Services and SOA beyond a few causal services. To that end, I am an authorized representative for Neuron ESB and it's place in accelerating your WCF and SOA efforts. Using my 26 years in the industry, I can help you look at your Architecture and find ways to make it better. Not only that, but I can help ensure you are on the right path for Oslo. If you are interested, please respond here or email to managedcode44 AT hotmail. Please do not use that email for unrelated questions - that's what the comments and newsgroups are for.

So three people in a row have asked for WCF Tips and Gotchas. We as the WCF/Connected Systems and Neuron teams have posted these on Dave Pallman's blog , our Neuron Architect. Collectively we have over 20 years of WCF experience including Indigo team members David and Marty Waznicki. So, to repeat and condense September 25 WCF Tips #1 - Service Interface Design David Pallmann’s WCF Tips #1 - Service Interface Design Service Interface Design Design Service Contracts that are Themed and Indivisible Tip: Ensure service contracts have a theme (purpose). Avoid combining unrelated service operations in the same contract; only include operations that contribute to the theme. This is also a SOA best practice. Rationale: A service interface is supposed to be indivisible—that’s why we use the word contract . If a service contract has a purpose or theme and all of the operations in the contract contribute to that theme, the contract design is likely to be strong and survive. In contrast, throwing many unrelated operations into the same service contract under a weak premise, such as “all the public services my company exposes to partners”, is not likely to stand the test of time. What if I Don’t? The longevity of your service contracts may be compromised. Examples: · A bad example is a service whose theme is “Data Access”: this is far too vague a purpose for a service and invites Read More...

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...

Thank you Code Campers! I had 120 out of 400 of you (ASP.NET MVC was at same time) and you were a great group. I had a great time with a new talk. Remember - just say no to RPC and Request/Reply - embrace the diversity of Asynchronous Messaging and Event Driven Architectures! The slides are here and the code is here . Remember, the code requires Visual Studio 2008. I also had a great conversation with Dave Laribee and Brian Donahue who approached me about coming back to ALT.NET and providing leadership. Let's just say if the community continues its current positive trend upwards, that becomes a much better possibility.

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! Title : Advanced WCF: Asynchronous Messaging and Event-Driven Architectures Abstract: 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. Bio: Sam Gentile is the SOA Practice Lead for Neudesic, Read More...

My colleague, Brian already wrote about the Neuron team growth and openings, but I wanted to add my bits, as both a Neuron user/consumer and influencer/developer. As the SOA Practice Lead in Neudesic, I have been exposed to many areas of the Microsoft technology stack and their use in SOA and other Connected Systems in companies ranging from SMB's to large Fortune 100 accounts. One of the things I see, more and more is it takes a lot of effort to take the raw .NET Framework 3.0/3.5 and make them function in an SOA. I have seen a large upswing in using Neuron to enable WCF and WF. In other words, companies are very interested in not having to take 6 months and write pieces of a Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) with the raw WCF bits. I am using Neuron myself in several projects and I continue to be blown away by the continued innovation that comes from the team! 2007 was a banner year for Neuron and now we are staffing aggressively in order to help us develop a world class ESB product. As Brian pointed out , Neuron is a pure Microsoft ESB, built from the ground up on WCF. We are looking for some highly talented engineers to come on board and make it even better! And yes, you would be working for the one and only Marty Wasznicky, who, as I posted here , joined Neudesic as VP Product Development for Neuron. The positions are in Irvine CA only. If you are interested, please drop me a note, or through this blog. Senior Software Design Engineer (SDE) Are you a senior SDE looking Read More...

I normally don’t post job listings here (we’re growing too fast, I wouldn’t be able to keep up!), however, if you read my blog, then it follows that you are likely interested in SOA, BizTalk, Enterprise Service Bus, so, you fall into the category of people that could potentially be a fit. Neudesic’s Neuron team continues to grow, and it’s super-exciting to see the growth and all the good work coming from them. We’re looking for a couple of talented engineers to come on board and not only join a highly dynamic company with stellar growth prospects, but also to play a role in the development of a world class ESB product, built from the ground up on top of WCF. I believe you’d be reporting to Marty Wasznicky (yes, *THE* MartyWaz), who joined Neudesic recently as VP Product Development for Neuron. The positions would be located in SoCal (Irvine). If you’re interested in either of these positions, pls drop me a note or email me through this blog. And, Happy New Year all!! Senior Software Design Engineer (SDE) Are you a senior SDE looking for your next technical leadership role? Do you like the excitement of shipping cutting edge server products? Do you want to work with talented people? Then come join the Neuron Development team to help ship a world class Enterprise Service Bus product for building Event Driven Business Solutions on the Microsoft Platform. Come work in a diverse and fun environment that gives you the opportunities to work with exciting technology such as Windows Workflow Read More...

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...

Weeks ago, I stated that we had some real "big name rock star" names coming into Neudesic. I am extremely delighted and proud to announce the first of these. The one and only Marty Wasznicky has joined Neudesic from Microsoft!!! Marty worked for 6 years for the BizTalk/CSD team and is of course, the man behind the recently released ESB Guidance . He also created the BizTalk Virtual Technologist (VTS) program, of which we have 5 members at Neudesic. Marty is going to be leading our Neuron ESB Product Development, where he will join David Pallmann, also from Microsoft CSD (Indigo) group. We have been one of the "go to" partners for Microsoft on BizTalk and all things SOA/CSD and Marty will still be working with BizTalk, with a focus on incorporating all the great Oslo technologies as they emerge. I truly believe that we have something very exciting in our Neuron ESB product that really accelerates .NET 3.0 development from 6-12 months down to days. As an accelerator for WCF, we are truly working with Microsoft to increase adoption of .NET 3 and to make the ramp up curve much less. I know, that I will be making it a major focus of my SOA practice. To say I am excited would be an understatement! Look for another big name announcement very soon :) [tags: Marty Wasznicky , .NET 3.0, Neudesic, Neuron, ESB, SOA, SAS, Service Oriented Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, Software Architecture, Indigo, WCF, Windows Communication Foundation, Microsoft, CSD] Read More...

First things first; A very happy thanksgiving to everyone in the US! I am going to be out doing an INETA presentation in Findlay, Ohio. Like the other talks this year, this one will focus, as stated here , spends a whole hour on Architectural, Domain-Driven and Software Patterns that I believe are neccessary to design and develop a quality WCF Service. The second hour of the talk is on WCF. My personal belief, that even with boundaries are explicit and the focus being on messaging betweern autoonomous services, it is vitally important, even more than ever, that the Service is designed and implemented with best practices including all the ones we know for other kinds of applications (such as DDD, O/RM, TDD, etc). I will be focusing on the Neuparts solution. My hope is to get pieces into VS2008 but that is unlikely to happen given my work schedule. Hope to see you there! User Group: Findlay, Ohio Area .NET User Group Date: November 27, 2007 Speaker: Sam Gentile Topic: SOA (Web Services) The directions I have been given are as follows: We are located at the Marathon Petroleum Company office in Findlay Ohio, 539 South Main Street. Coming from the north the office complex is on the right hand side at the intersection of Harding Street. Turn left and you will see the Main lobby on your left - it is in the middle building. You can park anywhere in the lots across from that entrance.
