This one is an impressive and detailed guide for the BizTalk developer. It starts from the basics but doesn't compromise on depth. The author makes good use of screenshots and schematic diagrams to dissect the complex flow of information through BizTalk, and gives plenty of examples of how to use it. He also goes beyond the core product to discuss the accelerators for RosettaNet and HIPAA. In addition to BizTalk itself, the book discusses integration with other Microsoft servers including Commerce Server, Application Center, and MOM. There's even coverage of BizTalk 2002. By the time you master everything in this book, you'll be a BizTalk pro.

This book is so simple, yet it carries a lot valuable information. It begins like most books giving you the background of what Biztalk is and what it can do for real life situations.
Anyways, the samples are great intructional way for the reader to pick it up fast, only drawback is the section where it deals with the 'Receipts' which there is somoe error no the steps that bothered me. Besides this book would be my top pick for Biztalk.

I have been doing Biztalk work for 2 years. This one is one of the best that I read. Highly recommended!
