Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000: Documented is the manual for Microsoft's solution to sharing business information with suppliers, customers, and other business partners. If you're familiar with Microsoft's tradition of publishing resource kits that include utility software and detailed documentation, you might think of this book as the BizTalk Server 2000 Resource Kit--there's no such product, as a matter of fact--without the supplementary collection of software. This book ships with a CD-ROM containing 120-day evaluation versions of BizTalk Server 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000, so it's a good buy if you're interested in evaluating the suitability of BizTalk Server 2000 to your business by putting it through its paces in accordance with Microsoft's recommendations.
Regardless of whether you're evaluating or implementing for production, this book's 1500 pages contain extensive information on every aspect of the BizTalk environment. Documentation runs the gamut from step-by-step procedures (these use a new approach to the user interface, mostly shunning screen shots in favor of bold-type references to the dialog box names, check box labels, and the like) to succinct object model documentation for Visual Basic programmers. Almost every procedure and recommended practice is followed by a set of notes, which explain how to deal with unusual situations or problems. More extensive sample code would make the object model reference more meaningful, but installation and configuration instructions are unique and valuable. --David Wall
Topics covered: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 in its entirely, explained for those who will be installing the software, integrating it with Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and configuring it to share data--with proper security--with internal and external parties. For programmers, there's a complete reference to the BizTalk Messaging Services object model for Visual Basic as well as an appendix containing errors and their meanings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Documented at the maximum,
By Sebastian Zaklada (Wroclaw, Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 Documented (Pro-Documentation) (Paperback)
The book is something I haven't expected. Comparing to "XML and SOAP Programming for BizTalk Servers" by Brian E. Travis this book covers almost every aspect of BizTalk develpoment, deployment and administration that the guys in Micsosoft has thougth of so far. It is mostly the printed version of the help, but changed and extended. You will find all the whitepapers in here also. Not very much of examples and step-by-step coverage, but... fair well written book, I'd say. The only thing I don't like is the size and weight of the book... should be in volumes.

4.0 out of 5 stars
In-depth Info,
By pattaraporn chomwong (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 Documented (Pro-Documentation) (Paperback)
As a Biztalk developer, this book helps me get through my project successfully. In-depth and packed with information. Tables are great for quick reference. It is an EXCELLENT REFERENCE for an experienced developer.... [For a beginner, 1500 pages might make you feel overwhelming. 'MCSE Training Kit: Microsoft® BizTalk™ Server 2000' is a better alternative. It is more precised and get you an overall concept faster.]
