I wish I was at VSLive! in San Francisco to hang out with all of my
friends. Instead (and that isn’t too bad, either), I am sitting in my
hotel room at the Warsaw Marriott watching the sun rise over the Polish
capital. Today and the next two days, my partner Achim
Oellers and myself will be teaching a class on service
orientation principles, explaining fundamental ideas, patterns, techniques and
will go through a lot of concrete implementation guidance for today’s Microsoft
MSMQ/WSE/ASMX/ES stack so that our customers can start writing services today. The
fundamental principles about data contracts, message contracts and service
contracts that we teach will carry forward to Indigo – along with a lot
of the implementation techniques (and the resulting source code) that we will
suggest. Of course, that has been a bit of a hidden agenda in past workshops,
because I couldn’t openly speak about anything that happened to Indigo
past PDC03, but now that the Indigo day at VSLive! is over, I can. That makes
it even more fun.
