• Webcast - Building HIPAA Solutions with BizTalk Server 2006 R2

  Great news!  When I attended and spoke at the Microsoft SOA & Business Process Conference I was informed that they were recording all sessions to be included in a DVD of the event which would be sent out to those who had attended.  Great, wonderful, but not a lot of use to my blog readers.  Well shortly there after I received a request from the TechNet team to include my presentation as part of the "Best Of" from event online.  I happily agreed, and am happy to report that the best of the Microsoft SOA & Business Process Conference can now be found on TechNet, and that my presentation on Building HIPAA solutions with BizTalk Server 2006 R2 is amongst them.  Incidentally apparently I received a 5 of 5 rating during the conference, I thank the attendees for being so easy on me. This talk is actually very relevant to anyone interested in EDI for BizTalk Server 2006 R2 as the HIPAA specific pieces are few.  It is a good introductory talk, it is not a deep internals talk but it does cover the configuration and setup of EDI/HIPAA in R2 in some depth.  If you're interested in this topic and can't get to an event where I'm speaking, this is a nice alternative.

• Model View Presenter Screencast

  I've written about Model View Presenter (MVP) several times before, once after hearing a talk and learning about the pattern, and again when I learned about extension methods. Today I bring you a screencast on Model View Presenter using Visual Studio 2008 and extension methods.  This is my second screencast, and I've upgraded my microphone to a professional rig thanks to my father to improve the audio.

• We Are Microsoft - We Are Sogeti

  The day has arrived, and it is time for the We Are Microsoft, Charity Challenge Weekend.  My team, Team Sogeti, has been given the chance to help City House with an internal Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) portal.  We've recruited some of the SharePoint brains within Sogeti, and I will be playing second fiddle to them and taking up the branding/skinning of the site. Our team, as it stands currently, consists of: Bryan Jason Gavin Deepak Tim (Me) We'll have some part time support from Sogeti's uber-brain of SharePoint Tuc, and the occasional drop in from time to time this weekend from others.  Of course worthy of note also is the support of my wife, Kate, who has agreed to "Team Mom" this wayward band, making sure they can stay focused by helping keep them in cokes/red bull/monster/etc. See everyone there later today, especially Improving and Telligent!
