Microsoft BizTalk 2010: Line of Business Systems Integration
Authors
Kent Weare, Carl Darski, Thiago Almeida, Sergei Moukhnitski and Richard Seroter
Book Description
Microsoft BizTalk 2010: Line of Business Systems Integration will be a tutorial that focuses on integrating BizTalk with Line of Business systems using practical scenarios. Each chapter will take a Line of Business Adapter, introduce some pre-requisite knowledge and demonstrate how you can integrate BizTalk with that Line of Business Adapter, and then provide guidance based upon real-world experience, taking your BizTalk knowledge further. The book will take “perceived” daunting scenarios, like integrating with SAP and provide readers with a clear tutorial that walks them through integrating Line of Business systems. This book focuses on Microsoft BizTalk 2010; however, most of the concepts and explanations will apply to BizTalk 2006 R2 and BizTalk 2009. If you are an experienced BizTalk developer who wants to integrate BizTalk with Line of Business systems using practical scenarios, then this book is for you. A solid understanding of BizTalk at an intermediate level is required. This book assumes developers are comfortable creating schemas, maps, orchestrations, ports, and messages in Visual Studio and configuring applications in the BizTalk Administration Console. However, experience in integrating with Line of Business systems is not necessarily required.
What you will learn from this book
- Deliver integrated Line of Business solutions more efficiently with BizTalk Server 2010 using this book and ebook.
- Obtain pre-requisite ERP and CRM knowledge that will make your integration project successful.
- Examine ways to integrate with leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like SAP and Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009.
- Study techniques used to integrate with leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems like SalesForce.com and Dynamics CRM 2011.

Packed with real-world examples of how to use the latest Microsoft technologies, this book tackles over a dozen specific use case patterns and provides an applied implementation with supporting code downloads for every chapter.
In Applied Architecture Patterns on the Microsoft Platform book, the author’s guides you through thirteen architectural patterns and provide detailed code samples for the following technologies: Windows Server AppFabric, Windows Azure Platform AppFabric, SQL Server (including Integration Services, Service Broker, and StreamInsight), BizTalk Server, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). This book brings together and simplifies the information and methodology you need to make the right architectural decisions and use a broad range of the Microsoft platform to meet your requirements.

The book is broken up into four sections. First, we define the techniques and methodologies used to make architectural decisions throughout the book. In Part I, we provide a set of primers designed to get you up to speed with each of the technologies demonstrated in the book. Part II looks at messaging patterns and includes use cases which highlight content-based routing, workflow, publish/subscribe, and distributed messaging.

Hi,
Great list, there’s a couple of older books I would also recommend:
Professional BizTalk Server 2006: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-BizTalk-Server-Darren-Jefford/dp/0470046422
It’s an old book, but there is a lot of deep coverage of BizTalk internals. I still think its the best BizTalk book ever, but I’m hoping 2010 Unleashed will beat it.
SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2009: http://www.amazon.com/SOA-Patterns-BizTalk-Server-2009/dp/1847195008/
Great coverage of using the WCF adapters in BizTalk, and a look at the WCF-SQL adapter and ESB toolkit.
Regards,
Alan
Excellent suggestions Alan!
I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
