In recent years blogs became the main source of documentation for many of us. Many of our day to day problems are solved with the help of search engines and blogs. As an enthusiatic BizTalk designer/developer I decided to consolidate all the blog posts available in public in a nice hierarchical, structured format, so that it will be helpful for 100's of BizTalk developers out there. The following list shows contributors with their details:

Abhilash is from Trivandrum, India. He has been programming for the last 12 years, ever since he got his first PC, when they used to load BASIC using tapes. He got his first real PC in 1994 - a 286 with a 40 MB hard disk, 1 MB RAM, and a 5.25 " FDD with a HGA graphics card.

Pascal was his first favorite programming language ,and he thought at one time that it was the greatest language. He never really got on to the Delphi wagon, but went with C++, and then progressively VC++ SDK, MFC, COM, and then eventually chose C# as his preferred language once .NET came along. With the emergence of SOA into mainstream, Abhilash chose BizTalk as his SOA realization tool of preference. He opines that BizTalk helps implement SOA; by so clearly separating the message and the underlying implementation, and connect apps purely based on contracts. This is what many classic technologies like IDL tried to do, but somewhere, the point got lost. BizTalk is his tool of choice for EAI. Abhilash has worked in various platforms including Win32,.NET,Linux, and Mainframes and has professional experience in embedded development and voice telephony. This broad experience helps him understand the EAI domain better. He has previously executed projects with Satyam, GlaxoSmithKline, Merryl Lynch, Microsoft, Corning and CheckFree in various capacities. He is presently located in Corning , NY , United States working as an EAI consultant.

Although Jon spent the first few years of his professional life as an attorney, he quickly found chasing bits more interesting than chasing ambulances. He first worked at the University of Minnesota, building a financial reporting Web site using ASP and SQL Server, specializing in automatic integration between multiple data stores.

Since 1999, Jon has devoted his time to working on various projects while migrating from the world of ASP and COM to the world of .NET, ASP.NET, and Web Services. Jon wrote "Essential ASP" for Addison-Wesley, and co-authored "Mastering Visual Studio.NET" for O'Reilly.

Jon is most at home spelunking, trying to figure out exactly how .NET works (specifically ASP.NET and Visual Studio .NET). Deducing the details and disseminating that information to other developers is his passion. His most recent technology interest is BizTalk 2004. He has been working with BizTalk 2004 since before its public release, authoring BizTalk courseware, articles, and utilities, as well as providing BizTalk consulting services. He currently trains and writes course for Quicklean (http://www.pluralsight.com/).
