From Bill O'Brien some good news !
Great news. Following the huge success of the Architect Forum last spring in Dublin, we will be hosting another event next January 27th in Dublin - Irish Architect Forum. I'll post details of registration etc in the next week. The them this year will be Integration and interoperability with some excellent Microsoft and Industry speakers.
Also I'm really excited to announce an Irish Architect Bootcamp, this is a unique 2-3day event where a small group of architects will work together on a challenging simulated design. Space will be v.limited. I'll post registration details soon. If you are interested in either of these events, as always please email me.
Great overview article of MS webservice strategy and an updated view of where we are with the WS-* standards. This is an update to an earlier article and well worth a read
