BizTalk Server 2006 builds on the heritage and core architecture of
BizTalk 2004 to provide a powerful tool that uses the latest Microsoft
technologies and industry standards for automating and managing business
processes. BizTalk Server 2004 was a complete rewrite from its
predecessor offering a much richer feature set, improved developer
experience, as well as the ability to build and deploy scalable,
enterprise solutions. BizTalk 2006 adds incremental value to BizTalk
2004 by improving administration, deployment, and other key areas of the
product. Built upon .NET, this server product is Microsoft's strategy to
capture market share within the enterprise integration space, and is the
fastest growing integration product. Offering more than 170
problem-solving recipes for BizTalk developers and administrators, the
book draws on the expertise of many of the most prominent authorities in
the field.
