Chapter 1. Building BizTalk Server 2013 Applications

 

Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.

 
 --William Plomer

Let's begin our journey by investigating what BizTalk Server actually is, why one would use it, and how to craft a running application. This chapter will be a refresher on BizTalk Server for those of you who have some familiarity with the product.

In this chapter, you will learn:

  • How to articulate BizTalk Server, when to use it, and how it works

  • How to outline the role of BizTalk schemas, maps, and orchestrations

  • BizTalk messaging configurations
