Overview of BizTalk Server 2004/2006	Brian Loesgen
November 7th 2005 was the launch date for Visual Studio .NET 2005, SQL Server 2005, and BizTalk Server 2006. Most developers know the first two in detail, but don’t know really know what BizTalk Server is. Why has Microsoft made it part of the launch, putting it on par with its flagship development tools? BizTalk is one of the best kept secrets from Microsoft. Developers that start working with it quickly realize the significance, and become proponents. It allows developers to “move up the stack”, beyond just commodity coding, and provide increased value to their companies and clients while becoming more productive and creating more scalable and robust applications. More than “just a server product”, BizTalk is a powerful application development tool, and one of the first tools available to enable the emerging software development approach of “contract first” development that many feel is “the next big thing”. If you’re working with Microsoft technologies, and are interested in Service-Oriented Architectures, Enterprise Service Bus, loosely coupled solutions, or high-availability and agile applications… you need to understand the important, and vital, role that BizTalk plays in this space. This session will assume no prior knowledge of BizTalk Server, and will present an overview of the capabilities and features it provides. We will also focus on the role BizTalk plays in a services-oriented architecture, as well as some of the high value-adds such as the business intelligence infrastruture and business rules engine. After this session, you'll understand why Don Box says "BizTalkers are ahead of their time"!

User Interface Generation at Runtime with SwiXML	Wolf Paulus
SwiXML is a small GUI generating engine for Java applications and applets. Graphical User Interfaces are described in XML documents that are parsed at runtime and rendered into javax.swing objects. While this open-source project focuses mainly on the GUI, is servers also as an example of how declarative programming can be used with Java. A simple mapping of Swing on XML schema allows instantiations of classes based on XML descriptors loaded at runtime. This late binding of the GUI has many advantages. Enabling features in an application based on a license code or a user's role does not have to be hard coded anymore. Instead an XML document describing the application's GUI could be dynamically loaded. Generating the GUI based on descriptors also has some of the advantages that code generators provide, but without generating the non-maintainable code. While SwiXML doesn't free the developer from knowing the javax.swing package, it reduces the amount of repetitive, sometimes error prone, and often complex GUI related code. Depending on the application, XML descriptors may be de Content

Working with HTTP Handlers & Modules	Scott Mitchell
HTTP Handlers and Modules provide a low-level way for developers to tap into the ASP.NET HTTP pipeline. When a request arrives for an ASP.NET resource, a number of events can fire during the request's lifecycle. HTTP Modules are managed components that you can create and attach to these request cycle events. To render the request, the ASP.NET engine instantiates an HTTP Handler based on the incoming request. To handle special types of requests, you can create your own HTTP Handler. http://datawebcontrols.com/classes/SoCalCodeCamp.zip
