BizTalk HotRod - Issue 5, Q1 2009 is now available

The latest version of BizTalk HotRod is available at http://biztalkhotrod.com/default.aspx. The issue is definitely worth reading and covers the following topics:
  • BizTalk vs Dublin
  • Unit Testing in BizTalk 2009
  • BizTalk - Sharepoint integration
  • WCF + BAM
  • Operations Management for BizTalk using SCOM
  • and much more

For those of you who are still unsure where BizTalk and Dublin fit in, the BizTalk vs Dublin is a much read. BizTalk and Dublin definitely have some similar features and capabilities. The author, Stephen Kaufman , provides good scenarios as to which technology stack should be used and when it should be used.

The Unit Testing article provides a great walk through of the new unit testing capabilities that are available in BizTalk 2009. Step by step examples are provided for Testing Schemas, Maps and pipelines.
