Building BizTalk Solutions with BizTalk 2009 

Application integration is all about messages - how messages are received, how messages are processed, and how messages are routed between a company’s internal applications and their trading partners (B2B). BizTalk provides a scalable, robust and flexible framework for implementing many common messaging patterns such as:

• Scatter/Gatherer pattern
• Splitter pattern
• Aggregator patterns
• Content Based Routing pattern
• Normalizer Pattern

Taught by a nationally renowned Microsoft MVP for BizTalk, this 5-day, hands on course will provide students with all the tools necessary to design and implement the most appropriate messaging patterns for their organization's workflows using the framework provided by BizTalk 2009.  Note: This course is fully applicable to BizTalk 2006 as well. It covers the basics of BizTalk, as well as more advanced concepts such as developing custom Adapters and Pipeline Components, and advanced orchestration. All of these concepts are reinforced through a series of hands-on labs that has consistently garnered high praise from past attendees.  At the course end, students will be able to apply the knowledge learned in this course in order to develop real world BizTalk Solutions.
