Learn and know BizTalk Server

This that I am to describe is a guide complete to begin to understand BizTalk, is a guide who wants to provide all the most important resources and help the main professional figures that are normally involved in the normal business lifecycle.

BizTalk is a system rather complex and divided by different aspects architectural and infrastructure.
I would be divided into three sections:

VISION, section indicated for people absolutely decision-making, to which affects understand aspects high level of the product and the possible solutions and purposes.

ARCHITECT, for people who work within operational and decision-making, closer to the appearance section technical architectural

Section DEVELOPER, who is operationally work with BizTalk.

For sections ARCHITECT and DEVELOPER I will put a FirstAID section where inserirò that that I call the bag of the atrezzi

This guide will be constantly updated by myself

ESB
Decide to follow an architectural pattern as the guidance BSE is not easy, Board a read this article of Paul de Nictolis, very well done

I would say if the architect requires a training base BizTalk to be able to speak with developers, the road is better read this text:

DEVELOPER

For Developer Board create steps and in particular by an introduction of guidelines for then go to details.
The key is in first understanding what is BizTalk and what makes available, there are several books on the market, I would say that the best is for the introductory part:
First steps: developing BizTalk applications
Provides a first overview full keeping an absolutely introductory level

Then turn to this text:
BizTalk 2006 recipes: A Problem-Solution approach
It is a path that starts from the bases and touches all aspects proposing practical exercises and later explaining its technical aspects of BizTalk.

Once fact these two texts open two roads, one for those who want to concern itself more aspects of management, monitoring and administration of BizTalk and aspects of customization and low level programming.

In the first case Council:
Professional BizTalk Server 2006 

It is something done really well, so much care aspects of management and amminitrazione, not only that, also part monitoring, which in this book sees the presence of a good hundred pages very well without relating the BizTalk BAM.

In the second case:
Pro BizTalk 2006 (Pro)

It is a text that follows the path of the recipes manifested but proposing soluizioni leading to having to use aspects of forced piuttoto programming in BizTalk.

There are several articles, we must certainly advise a path I would say:

Articles:

These articles them Council after at least read the first steps: developing BizTalk applications

BizTalk Correlations
