BizTalk Schema Presentation

I am doing a BizTalk Presentation on Wed June 29 in Toronto.
Details can be found below.

Theme for the night -> BizTalk Schema DeepDive

First Presentation:

An Introduction to BizTalk Schemas

One of the first steps in designing a Messaging or Integration system is to have an understanding of the messages that will exchanged between the various participating applications.A paradigm to describe this is SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and Contract First. In BizTalk, Schemas are used to define the XML, Flat File, EDI, and other types of messages that will be exchanged between the various applications.

Some of the topics discussed and demonstrations will include:

1) Why we need Schemas from a Business perspective and BizTalk perspective.
2) Various methods to create XML Schemas in the BizTalk development environment.
3) Using xsd schemas from other sources.
4) Uses for Schemas in BizTalk.
5) Property Schemas in BizTalk.
6) How to split messages in BizTalk using an Envelope Schema.

Second Presentation:

BizTalk Schemas and Non XML Message Formats

In Today's world, many different types of messages formats exist, for example Flat File, EDI, HL7. A .NET object can also be used to represent and store information about a particular message. In BizTalk, there are many mechanisms in place to create and consume these various types of messages.

Some of the topics discussed and demonstrations will include:

1) Creating Schemas to represent XML that will be deserialized into .NET objects and to represent xml serialized from .Net Objects
2) Flat File Schema Creation
3) Other Types of Schemas (for example HL7) that are available in BizTalk Accelerators.
