Tellago announces SQL Server 2008 R2 BI quick adoption programs
During the last year, we (Tellago) have been involved in various business intelligence initiatives that leverage some emerging BI techniques such as self-service BI or complex event processing (CEP). Specifically, in the last few months, we have partnered with Microsoft to deliver a series of events across the country where we present the different technologies of the SQL Server 2008 R2 BI stack such as PowerPivot, StreamInsight, Ad-Hoc Reporting and Master Data Services. As part of those events, we try to go beyond the traditional technology presentation and provide a series of best practices and lessons we have learned on real world BI projects that leverage these technologies.

Speaking at Microsoft's Duth DevDays
Last week I had the pleasure of presenting two sessions at Microsoft's Dutch DevDays at Den Hague. On Tuesday I presented a sessions about how to implement real world RESTFul services patterns using WCF, WCF Data Services and ASP.NET MVC2. During that session I showed a total of 15 small demos that highlighted how to implement key aspects of RESTful solutions such as Security, LowREST clients, URI modeling, Validation, Error Handling, etc. As part of those demos I used the OAuth implementation created by my colleague Pablo Cibraro.

Announcing Tellago DevLabs on CodePlex
It's been a few weeks since my last blog post mainly due to the fact that it's been an extremely busy month for us at Tellago. We have been heads down working on several fun projects that we are expecting to share with the dev community in the next few weeks. In any case, today I am really happy to put an end to my blogging hiatus by announcing the availability of Tellago DevLabs on CodePlex. The main purpose of this workspace is to provide a vehicle to share some of the open source projects we have been working on. At Tellago, we are firm believers in open source as a mechanism to make software better and we've decided to maintain a separate CodePlex workspace to publish several open source projects lead by members of Tellago technical staff. We are also expecting that this workspace will improve the interaction between our tech team and the .NET developer community.

WCF Extensibility Guidance Chapter 2
The second chapter of our WCF Extensibility Guidance Pablo and I authored a few months ago is now available on MSDN. This chapter is one of my favorites given that it touches upon the most common extensibility points of WCF's client and dispatcher programming model. Specifically, this chapter covers the best practices and techniques to implement the following WCF extensibility components:

Microsoft and Oracle showcase WS Interoperability at Gartner’s AADI summit
As you might have noticed, I haven't been actively blogging during the last month. The reason is that I have been hands on working on a very ambitious project to showcase Web Services interoperability between Microsoft and Oracle platforms. This experiment allowed us to explore the interoperability of WCF 4.0 and WIF RTM with the upcoming release of Oracle WebLogic within the context of a real world application. As a result, we were able to implement various complex WS interoperability scenarios encompassing diverse areas such as security, trust, federation, asynchronous reliable messaging, transactions, etc. We had the opportunity to experience firsthand the interop capabilities of both stacks as well as identify some of the areas that require improvement in order to achieve better levels of interoperability.

Using WCF 4.0 XAML Services in the real world: Activating WCF Services from a central repository
Declarative Services is one of the new features included in the .NET framework 4.0. In a nutshell, declarative services are WCF services modeled and implemented entirely in XAML. This feature is fundamentally enabled by extending Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) 4.0 with the capability of modeling WCF contracts using XAML. You can read more details about declarative services on the MSDN documentation. Even if you are not entirely familiar with WF as a technology, I am sure you can see the advantages of implementing services in a declarative languages.
