BizTalk – For IT Pros? or for Developers?

I heard this dialog in a conversation:

BizTalk guru (who is also a.NET Developer) : “developers just don’t understand BizTalk:

.NET Developer: “yeah, but why should I? BizTalk is for IT Pros”

BizTalk guru (who is also a.NET Developer): “See, that’s because you don’t understand BizTalk”

I could have very easily been the developer in that conversation, and it’s true, I don’t understand it at all. Unfortunately, I’ll have to leave it to the BizTalk guru for now.

XMLRPC samples

When I wrote my blogging application, I had a few learning curves to get over: new ideas for tablet UI, working with blogger and metablog apis, learning how to ftp in the background. But the most challenging thing I had to deal with was coding with XMLRPC for lack of samples. What was out there was in C# so I ended up also doing a LOT of C# coding which was the most I had ever done at that point.

Dave Burke just went through the XMLRPC learning curve as well, but he did something very smart (and very kind). He posted his code, which gets some more sample code out there. Here it is.
