BizTalk 2009
Late last week, as part of an updated BizTalk Roadmap, Microsoft announced that they have renamed 'BizTalk Server 2006 R3' to 'BizTalk Server 2009'. This is a fairly significant release for BizTalk developers as the tooling will finally catch up to the rest of Visual Studio 2008! This should greatly enhance the BizTalk development experience! Ok..there is probably some other goodness in the release as well. Check out the roadmap for details!
Has 'Oslo' piqued your interest yet? If not, be sure to check out Oliver Sharp's announcement, as well as posts by Doug Purdy and Don Box. As always, you can stay up to speed with happenings in the world of BizTalk by subscribing to BizTalk Blogs!
