Beginner To Expert: BizTalk Available Resources


Yesterday received a mail from a beginner in BizTalk asking about how to learn BizTalk . What are the resources which are available and can help the learning process.

There is a huge amount of resources available in the form of  Books, Videos, Tutorials , Blogs , Articles , Samples etc.  You can begin learning and if you are stuck somewhere or do not understand some concept, there are dedicated BizTalk forums wherein you can ask questions and I can guarantee that your question will be answered.

So if you are 07uly passionate about learning BizTalk then do utilize the available resources, and in case you are comfortable learning from some tutor then I guess there are online 07aining providers which you can look at.
I personally feel that at last it will be your curiosity of knowing more and more about BizTalk which will help you. (It applies to learning other technologies as well)

Below are a few links which I would like to suggest to look at (Beginners should):

Microsoft BizTalk Server

 BizTalk Server Tutorials

 BizTalk Server 2010 Developer Training Kit

 Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 Help

 How about seeing the samples and understanding how the implementations are done: BizTalk Server Code Gallery Samples

 The most important resource which I feel personally is  BizTalk Server Resources on the TechNet Wiki (This is certainly a gateway to BizTalk World), it holds excellent articles written by MVP's, MCC's and BizTalk Community member from all over the world. It does contains lot of other links and resources which will help you in learning as well when you are working on some project.
Likewise there are many Community members who share their experiences via their blog, you can look out for those too.

Experts are the people who know how to implement the concept they know, so keep implementing. It will take time as BizTalk deals with many technologies and is very rich from that perspective.

So Keep BizTalking !!!!!!!!


Update: BizTalk Featured Downloads from Microsoft

The request has both SAS authentication scheme and 'Bearer' authorization scheme. Only one scheme should be used

Image
While doing testing after doing a POC on Securing Logic App with Azure Active Directory authentication , where I have put logic app behind APIM and before passing the request to logic app, apim does validation of the token.  I was encountered with an error "The request has both SAS authentication scheme and 'Bearer' authorization  scheme.  Only one scheme should be used." Why it happened After validating the token which is part of the header i.e. Authorization, APIM forwards the request as it is to backend. As  Logic app is configured as  back end , it's url already consist of SAS signature plus the request also has Authorization section and this is the problem. By default every request endpoint on a logic app has a Shared Access Signature (SAS) in the endpoint's URL, which follows this format: https://<request-endpoint-URI>sp=<permissions>sv...

Getting Started with Logic Apps - AS2

Image
What is AS2? Every enterprise requires some kind of product, service or counselling from another enterprises thus there happens a B2B(business to business) communications, some of the communication is unique whereas most of the communications are common for most of the enterprises e.g., Purchase Order. But every enterprise has there own way(format) of sending the messages, leading to difficult management when number of partners increased.  Considering this the Enterprise leaders decided to have some standards/rules defined across the communication leading to B2B protocol standards which provide guidelines for trading partners to follow when conducting business between enterprises. EDI X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOM etc. AS2 stands for Applicability Statement 2 and is a B2B messaging protocol used to transmit Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)/Business documents from one organization to another. So EDI standards define how to format data and AS2 specifies how to securely transport...

How to Debug and Trace request in Azure APIM - Portal, Postman, RequestBin

Image
Introduction  APIM is a great option to expose API's with out of box features for applying restrictions, preprocessing, postprocessing etc. You can leverage existing API's,  by importing it and it gets added as a new API with all the operations associated with it. And based on the requirements you  apply policies at the stage/level (Inbound,Backend/Outbound) and you are ready to use the API. Before it is shared, we do some testing to make sure everything is working as per the expectation and this is where Debugging and Tracing request becomes important. APIM does provide a way to Trace a call with the help of  Ocp-Apim-Trace http header. So whichever request/call is to be traced, it needs to include this in header  with the value set to true and it has dependency on another header, so that also needs to be passed i.e.  Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key Note: The api on which Tracing is to applied , it requires the subscription key to be en...
