I had the privilege of recording 3 sessions in the SSWUG studio this week for the upcoming DB Tech Con conference on April 20-22. This is the largest online conference in IT the world, with speakers covering topics ranging from .NET, SQL Server and cloud.
The focus of my track is all about hybrid solutions in the enterprise and how you can take advantage of AppFabric and BizTalk as a comprehensive platform for building on-premise solutions that take advantage of the cloud in a pragmatic way.
