5.0 out of 5 stars Get great BizTalk insight from the horse's mouth, 11 May 2007
The first thing I want to point out (as it's only *just* out) is that I've actually read this book - and in its entirety - and I wasn't paid for it. So basically, I have no reason to misrepresent it ;-)

In my opinion, there are very few people on the planet in the position of being able to produce a book such as this. The authors are, fortunately, in this practically unique position having either worked in the product group or MCS for Microsoft over many years. Essentially if these guys don't know, or their friends (see the acknowledgements for a veritable who's who of the BizTalk Product Group) don't know - then I'm not sure anyone does.

Where this book succeeds (and others have failed) is two-fold: it starts where the documentation tails off and is written by a very small number of authors who a) have actually met and b) really are very good. so what you get is something that genuinely *is* written by the right people who know their subject areas inside-out rather than a bunch of guys who had (just) enough spare time (and knowledge) to bash out a chapter each.

Now, for the content. This book starts with a lot of assumptions about knowledge of BizTalk and its dependent technologies (xml, .net, c#, xsd etc, etc) - although Chapter 1 serves as a primer, it's not for newbies. It does however provide enough background to enable intermediates to still be able to read it without constantly referencing other sources. This of course, is a balance of reiteration and convenience. I think it strikes this perfectly as even where documented information is covered, it is explained and exposited further to delve deeper into the hows and whys. For example, dedicated chapters on low latency, testing and scalability set it apart from other books. Make no mistake, this is real world guidance and parts of it will make uncomfortable reading for some - and it's all the better for it.

BizTalk is a complex product, this book acknowledges and reflects that and if you want a BizTalk book that goes beyond the basics and into hitherto unchartered territory, jump in. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't wait, just go and buy the book., 26 Jun 2007
By Saravana kumar (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
There are only very few books where you'll read end-to-end and also multiple times. Professional BizTalk Server 2006 (PBS 20006) is one of those kinds.

I can see the authors have strained themselves to the edges to get the quality. You can say that from the writing style, structure of the content, amount of quality data present in the book. I judge the quality of the chapters with 2 main criteria's:

1. Number of lines I underline,
2. Am I just skipping the pages or actually reading it.

Most of the chapter in PBS 2006 satisfies both the points, now my whole book is scribbled all over the place and it took me longer time to finish the chapters, because I didn't skip the pages, but read it line by line.

If you are or want to be a proper BizTalk developer, don't wait just go and buy the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Biztalk SAS Survival Guide...., 4 Jul 2007
This book is a great SAS survival guide for people working with Biztalk Server...

I'd read as far as page 4, when the first nugget appeared, a problem which we came across in our labs at Microsoft: The way some service providers use namespaces and the problems that causes with Biztalk. If this book is littered with Darren's, and the other authors, findings over the years, then it's worth anybody using Biztalk to pick up this title.

The book has a lot of hints and tips which will help you avoid pitfalls, causing you weeks of agony and frustration, it's a casual read, and even in my initial exploration of Biztalk, brought back memories of a product, which like the great white shark, is misunderstood.
