Over the last weeks after finishing my collaboration with the ESB Toolkit project, I had the chance to read a great book on Biztalk called SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2009 by Richard Seroter, an authority on BizTalk topics.

Here are a bunch links that you might find them useful when working with this toolkit.

If you are already using the Biztalk ESB Toolkit and have version 1 (V1) itineraries (xml file) and want to create designer models from them, you may use this console application that will import your V1 itineraries and create the model file (.itinerary) along with the designer file (.itinerary.designer).

Finally is out. You can explore the toolkit right from the landing page in MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd897973.aspx and download the installers (x86 and x64) along with all the complete documentation (>100 pages of How to's and even more on SOA patterns and samples).

Now is live the announcing of the next P&P Summit 2009.

You can take a look at the new v4.0 .NET Framework, and the changes that will be described in Shawn's blog.

I just found a nice article on P&P guidelines named "You Can Depend On Patterns and Practices" that Alex Homer wrote on MSDN Magazine - May Edition.
