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.

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 ;)

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.

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.
