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.

Hosting StreamInsight applications using WCF
One of the fundamental differentiators of Microsoft's StreamInsight compared to other Complex Event Processing (CEP) technologies is its flexible deployment model. In that sense, a StreamInsight solution can be hosted within an application or as a server component. This duality contrasts with most of the popular CEP frameworks in the current market which are almost exclusively server based. Whether it's undoubtedly that the ability of embedding a CEP engine in your applications opens new possibilities for CEP scenarios such as Web analytics or mobile CEP it is also unquestionable that the majority of CEP scenarios still rely on a server-centric model. This blog post provides an initial overview to the server hosting capabilities of Microsoft's StreamInsight.

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.

The future of Complex Event Processing
Mark Palmer, CEO of StreamBase, has posted a series of predictions about the Complex Event Processing (CEP) market in 2010. Generally, I am not a big fan of making or commenting on predictions related to the technology market but I wanted to add a few interesting thoughts to Mark's list.

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:
