I had a great week last week. The project I was starting suddenly changed direction, in such a way that BizTalk was no longer needed. End of project to me and nothing in the pipeline yet (apart from some open issues).
Don't worry though, my days are filled for next week and on. But not with BizTalk. SharePoint is hot all of a sudden. I have 6 projects scheduled, ranging from a couple of hours consultancy to starting up an implementation for company with several hunderd employees, all with SharePoint.
But to get back to the fun. I've had:
- a chance to play with the Information Bridge Framework. Didn't get around to actually build something myself though, but the things I saw are all very cool.
- a chance to build a solution like I described earlier about human interaction and service orientation. I was triggered when I heard about a project that had more or less chosen the architecture I described (not because I said it though ;-). It was easier then expected, but then again, I didn't touch on anything like security, service hosting, etc. I had done all steps before but never in one solution. Still, it was very refreshing to see these things working seamlessly together. The only really new thing was the use of WSSLib-adapter to read SharePoint Libraries. That one did take some time to get working too (I actually commented out bits of code to get it working). Either I used in the wrong way or there are still some bugs floating around in it.
- a chance to read and respond on the BizTalk-newsgroups, which I normally never take the time to. And it is very rewarding to read somebody say 'Thanks a lot, its very helpful for me'.
I guess I won't be posting a lot about BizTalk the coming weeks though, but maybe I can share some of my SharePoint experiences.
