One of new enhancements (or improvements) of BizTalk Server 2009 is the developer/team productivity through ALM.
I myself am not an expert yet on ALM so I decided to start digging into the subject. The following resources will help me get through this process (I hope):
- Pro Visual Studio Team System Application LifeCycle Management book by Joachim Rossberg;
- Have discussions or ask questions to experts you know, maybe colleagues (I for instance can ask Edward Bakker);
- Microsoft resources;
- Blogs.
I hope this can be helpful to anyone moving towards BizTalk Server 2009 or is going down that path. If anyone has some other suggestions I am glad to hear them.
