Chapter 4. BizTalk Server Primer

This chapter is intended to provide people who specialize in technologies like SQL Server or perhaps, general .NET development with an understanding of what BizTalk is, how it works, and also gives you an idea of how to write your first application.

If you have worked with BizTalk Server for many years, written pipeline components, developed custom adapters on the old and new framework, then before delving into the later chapters please flick over and briefly look at the roadmap information to ensure there is nothing new that you've missed.
