Summary
In this course we move through the complete lifecycle of a BizTalk 2009 project. By the end of the course we will have designed, implemented, tested, deployed, monitored, and redeployed with the next version of our solution. This course can also be taught with previous versions of BizTalk. Our delivery approach is a mixture of lecture, demonstrations, instructor-led hands on labs, and mastery labs. Mastery labs are specifications similar to what you would expect in real world BizTalk projects. This course requires extended hours and usually runs from 8 AM until 5:30 PM Monday through Thursday and wraps up at 4 PM on Friday.

Who Should Attend?
While experience in .NET development, XML, XSLT, and Web Services is required. No prior experience with a previous version of BizTalk server is required.
