NServiceBus Course – Afterthought

I have attended Enterprise Development with NServiceBus course last week. Interestingly, a lot of questions I had back a while ago where answered. Either I was missing the knowledge, or not asking the right questions. Either way, what I was trying to accomplish a year and something ago with BizTalk could be done ten times simpler with NSB. BizTalk was a great tool for mapping, but definitely neither a services platform nor a bus. Long-term running processes with BizTalk (aka Orchestrations) felt plain wrong. The fact that one was not able to test the bread and butter of a business process w/o having a full end to end integration testing was mind blowing. Creating messages outside of BizTalk has felt like a shameful sin.

Training at Austin with Jimmy Bogard (Headspring) is a good start to get you going if you wondering around SOA / Bus maze and want clarity.
