Customer Reviews & Comments
No book does a better job of showing you how to use the many powerful features of BizTalk. Each chapter contains a short, clear, yet realistic example of how to perform a specific BizTalk task. There's never any complex setup required, so you can work through most chapters in half an hour or less. Via these small steps the book covers nearly all the essential parts of BizTalk, including the rules engine, EDI and BAM.
The biggest disappointment with this new edition is the inadequate coverage of BizTalk's support for WCF. The examples of how orchestrations can expose and consume web services use WCF, but the section on Adapters discusses the old HTTP and SOAP adapters without mentioning the WCF adapters. This could lead you to think that WCF is only used with orchestrations, which is not the case. Worse, the chapter on connecting to SQL Server uses the old (and now deprecated) SQL adapter instead of the new WCF-based SQL adapter. To get a firm grasp of WCF in BizTalk you should consult Richard Seroter's SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2009.
To design successful BizTalk solutions you need a bit more architectural orientation than this book provides, and for that I recommend Dunphy's Pro BizTalk 2009 and the Seroter book. But to acquire hands-on mastery, BizTalk Recipes is indispensable, both as a tutorial and a reference.
