5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent start to BizTalk
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2007

When I was between projects I attented a BizTalk 2006 deep dive (a week long) training session. The training session was for intermediate to advanced users. I had no experience with BizTalk. Before the class I got this book on the weekend and did all the exercises in the book. 2 days were enough to go through this book and it gave me a solid understanding of BizTalk. The training session made so much sense to me because I read this book. Had I not read this book I would have not understood any of the training that assumed that everybody in the class know orchestrations well.
I highly recommend this as the first BizTalk book. This book will make you ready for the advanced level books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to BTS2006, easy to get through
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2007

This book does a good job of introducing the complete BizTalk novice to a number of the features and technologies that make up the BTS2006 platform. The examples are quite simplified but easy to follow. If you are new to BTS as I am, this will help to get you acquainted with many of the parts that make up BTS and simple BTS solutions. It doesn't go in depth into any one technology really, but then again, that wasn't the author's purpose.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK

This is an ok introduction to BizTalk. It does a decent job of introducing you to the different pieces involved. I also like fact that it gives you exercises to practive with.

With that being said, there are some negatives in the book and I am surprised no one else brought them up. The book sometimes ask you to reference Visual Studio projects midstream that were never mentioned in any previous text or chapter. I also ran into a section that involves using expressions and the exercise references properties that do not exist on the message object. Also, steps are sometimes skipped. Finally, there is a lot of steps I was doing in the exercises, but I didn't understand WHY I was doing it.

I bought this book because my company cancelled my place on a BT2006 training class. Within a week I'd completed the book and the exercises and was feeling confident that I could tackle a simple BT project, but more importantly I also felt that I was adequately familiar with the core components of the product to further my knowledge using the available web resources and the Pro version of this book.

The book is well written, so reading it isn't a chore and whilst it's short, it delivers exactly what you need - the why and how of the major BizTalk components.

Thoroughly recommended for anyone that needs to get into BizTalk 2006 quickly.

There isn't a lot of BizTalk 2006 litarature out there for beginners, this is the one to start with. I attended the MS BizTalk 2006 seminar as well, and still had no clue how it works. We were rushed through the labs with only a little time. Granted, you need to know XML (at least a little), SQL doesn't hurt, Web Services, SOAP, VB or C#...

This book opened my eyes and made me understand BizTalk a lot better. Don't look at the other BizTalk books without reading this one first if you are new to BizTalk 2006.

4.0 out of 5 stars Purely for beginners only
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2008
Ah, BizTalk Server.... one of those Microsoft products that, watched from afar, always appeared so frighteningly towering. Training to climb Mount Everest would probably be a less strenuous endeavour. My previous experience with it was just the 2002 version's installation procedure, and that totally left me perceiving it like learning diving in the open sea - going about alone can get pretty scary without the instruction and guidance of a master diver. It quickly became one of those "if I ever have too much free time" items that I never acted upon for years.

Now the situation is different. Now it has become my job to learn the latest incarnation of 2006 R2 and use its capabilities to demonstrate its worth in a lucrative government POC. Now, I need to learn it _fast_. I needed to climb Mount Everest before the season closes. How does one get familiar and comfortable with the concepts of this monstrous product? In fact, I never truly understood what BizTalk does exactly. I am one of those who cannot absorb useful information from vague marketing overviews; I needed someone experienced to talk me through to using its features. That someone is Daniel Woolston.

This author has managed to compress most of BizTalk Server's core concepts and features into 14 chapters, spanning a mere 262 pages. Using concise language and short practicals, he takes apprehensive beginners (e.g. me) through an eye-opening tour of BizTalk Server. Taking things a step at a time, the practicals continuously build on previous experience and incrementally introducing more features to accomplish more and more feats. Daniel Woolston's style of tutelage quickly demystifies BizTalk Server operations and reveals that getting into it is not quite as insurmountable as it seems from the outside. On completing the last chapter I felt that grasping the foundations of BizTalk Server was definitely not a lofty goal of this book.

But of course, the key word of this book is really just "foundations". Daniel Woolston has targetted this material at newbies, sticking with the simplest of demonstrations. He does not even teach the usage of other adapters for Receiving and Sending; only the File-based adapter is demonstrated. It certainly is debatable; keeping practicals simple enables speedy progress, no doubt; but at the same time I cannot help but feel "we're done already? how about this, how about that..." as I paced through the chapters.

If you ever wanted to learn anything deep, or even just intermediate, about BizTalk, you will be left with _many_ unanswered questions. You would then be reminded on several pages to refer to [Pro BizTalk 2006] for that. If you want a quick _introductory_functional_ tour of BizTalk Server, however, look no further and grab this book.

Overall rating: 8/10
Good - Lightning fast practicals; concepts quick and easy to follow
Bad - Purely beginner basics; only File-based inputs and outputs

While a good overview of BizTalk, it does not provide the necessary detail to use much of the functionality. If you are already familiar with BizTalk and want a book to help you create working solutions, pick up a more advanced book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good hands-on introduction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2008

On the back page the author states that the purpose of the book is to introduce you to the technology by example rather than by lecture. In this the book succeeds.
Having no previous knowledge of BizTalk 2006, and very little idea of what it could actually do, I picked up this book as my manager was talking about using BizTalk in a future project. It would be fair to say that having read this book I now have a feel for how it could be used, although I suspect that I've barely scratched the surface regarding the power of the product, or the difficulties that would be encountered on a real project.
The book is designed as a hands-on tutorial that the reader should work through whilst sitting at a PC with BizTalk installed. Unfortunately, my only chance to read books is during my commute, and the only PC I had was in my head. However, the steps are sufficiently well described and illustrated with screen shots, that I was able to follow along. It is likely that I would have got even more out of the book if I had actually carried out the various exercises, and I do plan to re-visit the book at a later date and actually try out some of the tutorials.
On the downside, it was clear that the author had attempted to deliberately keep the dependencies within the tutorials to an absolute minimum. This meant that each example was rather too simple for my tastes and did not do justice to the potential of BizTalk. For example, I would have liked to have seen examples connecting to web services. In particular, at one point he describes the exact scenario that I would be dealing with - receiving files via FTP. I was therefore hopeful that the example following would illustrate this scenario, but instead it was simplified to just pick up files from a directory on the C: drive, and move them to another directory. It illustrated important points, but was not very inspiring.
Throughout the book, the author makes it clear that the book is only an introduction, and constantly refers the reader to the follow-on book "Pro BizTalk 2006". Although sometimes annoying, this did serve to remind the reader that this book was only intended to introduce the subject, and that further reading must be undertaken before attempting to produce a real-world solution.
