10 years ago Enterprise Achitecture (EA) was (among other things) about connecting systems using the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) pattern.
Building and connecting systems using SOA was hard, most of the vendors has slightly different interpretations of SOA and thus different implementations hereof causing most systems you wanted to connect to require some middleware component that could translate between different dialects of SOA.
Technology itself was in the way, no matter how much EA and SOA you could throw at a problem integrating systems to get that illusive business advantage, you still had to tackle different endpoint implementations, type conversions and mapping between huge XML schemas from this standard to that standard.
ZapThink even published an explanation of the tenets of SOA using Lego bricks to make it easier to understand.
Fast forward 10 years and people are still talking SOA and most public RfPs still cite SOA as a requirement. The main difference is that SOA now just works.
The entire Web2.0 stack is based on SOA using communication between systems based on Web Services. The Cloud may be driving in huge datacenters that reduce the cost for computing, storage and delivery but the fuel is the ability to connect systems across technologies, vendors and data.
Now is the time to finally apply EA to business problems and gain real value.
From basic vector-based drawings to professional three-dimensional graphics built with Live Effects, Ted LoCascio covers the full range of possibilities in Getting Started with Expression Design. He starts by explaining Expression Design’s interface and how to work with documents, then moves on to cover working with objects and applying fills, strokes, and effects for best results. Exercise files accompany this training.

In Getting Started with Expression Blend , Lee Brimelow covers all the basics that every designer and developer of WPF and Silverlight content needs to know. He starts with an overview of how Expression Blend fits into WPF and Silverlight workflows, then guides viewers through the process of creating and manipulating objects, building timeline-based animations, and exporting compositions into XMAL for use in Visual Studio.

To open and edit documents in the new Office 2007 OpenXML format in Office 2003 install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats which can be found here:
This white paper provides information and guidelines for using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 in scenarios where content is managed across different languages. It details most of the functionality provided by Office SharePoint Server 2007 and suggests how to use it to manage multilingual scenarios. It also provides examples for creating custom Web Parts by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and how to configure and manage them by using Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007, the next generation of Web designer tools specifically designed for SharePoint sites. Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 features and functionality, and how they add value to the end-user experience, are also described.
Highly recommended!
…this is just plain ingenious!
ZapThink (my favorite alternative to Gartner) just released a short explanation of the 4 tenets of SOA using a Lego building block analogy.
Read it – share it!
Update on 2024-08-21: Seems that ZapThink no longer exists 🙁
It turns out that [Today] and [Me] can’t be used in calculated fields in WSS lists.
However, there’s a bug (or feature) which allows us to use at least the [Today] any way.
In a list create a column with the name “Today”. It doesn’t matter but use the Date field type.
Now in a calculated field it’s possible to add the Today column and use it in a calculation like the age of something in years: =DATEDIF([Born];[Today],”d”)/365
Then delete the Today column – and now we’re set. WSS then replaces [Today] with the current date and the Age calculated field is filled with the Age in years.
Weird but true.
Here’s a some more reference information on calculated fields: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/HA101215881033.aspx
Using the SharePoint object model this is pretty easy, especially if you want to retrieve that list with code running in a web part. The WebPartManager property of the WebPart base class, gives you access to a collection of all the WebPartZones available on the page. Once you’ve got the zones, you can get the web part instances by using the WebParts property. The following web part code will display a small list of all the web parts found on the page, including the name of the web part class and the web parts zone:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace WebPartLister
{
public class WebPartLister : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart
{
BulletedList list;
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
list = new BulletedList();
WebPartZoneCollection zones = this.WebPartManager.Zones;
foreach (WebPartZone zone in zones)
{
WebPartCollection webparts = zone.WebParts;
foreach (WebPart webpart in webparts)
{
list.Items.Add(
string.Format(“{0} ({1}), {2}”,
webpart.Title, webpart.GetType().Name,
zone.DisplayTitle));
}
}
this.Controls.Add(list);
}
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
EnsureChildControls();
list.RenderControl(writer);
}
}
}
