With .NET 3.0, Microsoft committed itself to a unified vision for communicating between applications. Called the Windows Communication Foundation, this framework separates the application from its underlying communication technology. Transports already available include Microsoft Message Queues, JSON, WebServices, and TCP/IP.
TIBCO, a major player in enterprise communication frameworks, has decided to leverage WCF's extensibility by adding support for their Enterprise Message Service. Enterprise Message Service already supports a wide variety of adapters for C, .NET, Java and Cobol including JMS and IBM's MQSeries. In addition to modern operating systems, they also support mainframes such as OS/400 and System 390.
Like most of their site, TIBCO's press release is light on details, offering little more than the name TIBCO EMS Transport Channel for WCF. But then again, with WCF it either works or it doesn't, with very little indication why. So perhaps this is just keeping with tradition.

Thin client paradigm characterized by web applications is a kludge that needs to be repudiated. Old compromises are no longer needed and it's time to move the presentation tier to where it belongs.
In this presentation filmed during QCon 2007, Jeff Sutherland, the creator of Scrum, talks about his visit at Google to do an analysis of Google's first implementation of Scrum.
In this article, Bryon Jacob and Chris Berry introduce AtomServer, their implementation of a full-fledged Atom Store based on Apache Abdera, which is now available as open source.
It is easy to think that virtualization applies only to servers. In reality the recent resurgence of the concept is also being applied to networking, storage, and application infrastructure.
In this article, Stefan Tilkov explains some of the most common anti-patterns found in applications that claim to follow a "RESTful" design and suggests ways to avoid them.
In this article, Adrien Louis and Marc Dutoo discuss the differences and relative merits of using orchestration vs. routing in a typical ESB setup, and discuss various implementation options.
Wayne Lund discusses batch processing, Spring Batch objectives and features, scenarios for usage, Spring Batch architecture, scaling, example code, failures and retrying, and the future roadmap.
Developer Jay Fields draws on his experiences as a ThoughtWorks consultant to describe effective user story estimation techniques.
