SO-Aware is on Channel9: Part I
A few days ago we had the opportunity to sit down with Microsoft's Technical Evangelist Ron Jacobs to record two Channel9's Endpoint TV episodes on which we discuss the architecture and capabilities of SO-Aware(our WCF Registry). The episodes illustrate different capabilities of SO-Aware such as configuration management, service testing, service activity monitoring, dependencies, OData API, among many others.

Centralizing Azure AppFabric Service Bus configuration using SO-Aware
In the last few days, various of our customers and partners have been interested on the capabilities of SO-Aware to integrate with the different technologies of the Windows Azure platform. This post will illustrate how to use SO-Aware to centralize the configuration of WCF services that interact with the Windows Azure platform AppFabric.

Centralizing and simplifying WCF configuration with SO-Aware part II: Configuration models
In previous posts I've described how we can use SO-Aware to centralize the configuration of WCF services avoiding the need of maintaining complex configuration files across services and clients. The mechanism is enabled by a custom WCF service host which downloads the configuration from SO-Aware's OData feed and reconfigures the target WCF service

Testing wCF Services with SO-Aware: the Why, the What and the What the F@#$%!!@#
Service testing is one of the fundamental components of SO-Aware (Tellago Studios’ WCF Registry). In its current version, SO-Aware enables modeling tests against WCF services as well as scheduling their periodic execution. With so many Web Service testing tools in the market, some of you may be wondering why we decided to create a new one and, more importantly, how is SO-Aware different from other offers in the market.

More about SO-Aware centralized configuration
My colleague Pablo Cibraro has written a very interesting post about the WCF configuration capabilities of SO-Aware (our WCF registry)

Centralizing and simplifying WCF configuration with SO-Aware
It's not a secret that WCF configuration management is one of the biggest challenges that companies face when adopting WCF as part of their enterprise solutions. Whether the declarative capabilities of the WCF programming model enable a great level of flexibility to WCF solutions they can also become a nightmare from the management standpoint. This shouldn't come as a big surprise, just imaging managing the security configuration of a few dozen WCF services across different environments (DEV, QA, PROD) and you will get pretty close to a headache ;)

Tellago Studios is here!!!
Today is a special day for us. After two years of steadily growing Tellago, we have decided to launch a new company to focus on building enterprise software. In principle the idea is very simple, we want to translate the lessons we have learned in our continuous work with customers into enterprise software solutions that reflect the latest architecture and technology best practices and at the same time remain simple and practical to use.

Enabling WIF ActAs via configuration
Identity delegation is one of the most common scenarios in Service Oriented (SO) enterprise infrastructures. Essentially, this pattern applies to scenarios where the final recipient of the issued token can inspect the entire delegation chain and see not just the client, but all intermediaries to perform access control, auditing and other related activities based on the whole identity delegation chain.

BizTalk Data Services v0.6 is here!!!!!!!
A few months ago we (Tellago) open sourced the first version of BizTalk Data Services. Essentially, BizTalk Data Services provides a RESTFul OData-based API to interact with BizTalk Server via HTTP using the Atom Publishing Protocol or JSON as the encoding mechanisms. The initial version was mostly focused on browsing, querying, searching BizTalk artifacts via a RESTful interface. The feedback received was awesome and it didn't take too long for some of my fellow BizTalk MVPs to request that we included update capabilities into the next version.

DonXml does WCF in NYC
Tomorrow is WCF day in New York city!!!!! My good friend and Tellago's CTO Don Demsak will be doing a session WCF Data and RIA Services at the WCF fire-starter event to be hosted at the Microsoft offices in New York city. Don has a encyclopedic knowledge of both technologies and will be sharing lots of best practices learned from applying these technologies in large service oriented environments. In addition to Don, my crazy Cuban friend Miguel Castro will also be presenting three sessions at the same event. If you are in NYC and are interested on WCF you MUST attend to this event.
