Book Description

1590598490 978-1590598498 May 23, 2007 1

First Steps: Developing BizTalk Applications is a primer to most other introductory Biztalk books. If you feel like traditional beginning books are too abstract, and that you are mired in detail and missing the “big picture,” check out this book. It’s not a reference â€" it’s a jumpstart to learning Biztalk. You learn about the product in a phased approach. This way, you learn just what you need to know, when you need to know it. And the entire book is example-based: you learn by doing. Each phase provides detailed instructions for creating, deploying, and testing a BizTalk project. Through the book’s projects, you will be exposed to orchestrations, pipelines, maps, schemas, messages, ports, shapes, the BizTalk Server Administration console, and the Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) tool.

To quickly get ahead and quick-start your Biztalk learning process, this book is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars good idea for starters, June 1, 2009
By 
This review is from: First Steps: Developing BizTalk Applications (Paperback)
I purchased this book to get an overview of BizTalk. The book is project based, and the author does not claim to be an expert. He simply tells you how to build the sample project he designed for the book from start to finish.

I purchased several books on BizTalk at the same time, so I didn't take the time to build the project as yet. However, from what I've read on BizTalk todate, I found even an average BizTalk project can become quite technical, and as such; I will certainly start with this books project if I do decide BizTalk is the way to go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but...., October 10, 2007
This review is from: First Steps: Developing BizTalk Applications (Paperback)
This is a very good introduction to BizTalk 2006 and its use of Visual Studio 2005. What I found to be lacking are references to others reference materials for a more detailed look in the two tools
