I will be speaking at a Magenic sponsored mini conference called Code Mastery on May 26 2010. Here is a link to the site: http://codemastery.com/index.htm. Magenic is hosting a couple of these mini conferences in the regions we have offices. The site will be updated soon with more information on the sessions and speakers. It is a free event so bring a friend!
I will be talking about the WCF LOB SDK from both a BizTalk and general .NET user perspective. This is a technology that is fairly well known in the BizTalk community but almost completely unknown in the general .NET community. I give some introductory articles below but notice that almost everything is directly from Microsoft and on the heavily technical side. I will be reviewing some of these concepts but will also be approaching it from a practical perspective about how this technology would fit within the enterprise and how you might use it in your software projects.
Here are a couple of good links to get you started:
