We've got a jam-packed November meeting that's overflowing with goodness! First D'Arcy Lussier will give a report from his week at PDC (Microsoft Professional Developer's Conference) on all the announced BizTalk goodies! Then Jeremy Wiebe will give us an introduction to WCF, a technology that BizTalk developers need to be aware of. As he writes...

"Windows Communication Foundation, one of the technologies introduced with .NET 3.0, is a framework for building distributed applications. WCF provides a rich and consistent API but still allows you to control all of the details of the communication. In this talk we'll do a quick overview of WCF. We'll then dig into the different components and concepts within WCF. Finally we'll look at some code examples of WCF in action and compare them to older technologies such as ASMX Web Services and .NET Remoting."

Finally, Dale Cantafio will be doing his best Emeril impersonation as he BAM BAM BAMs his way to educating us on the Business Activity Monitor.

Make sure to register early so we know how much food to order.
