For a product that is the core demonstration of .Net capabilities (1.8
million lines of code), I find it insulting that Microsoft has yet to delive
r
any reasonable level of documentation for using the product.

What have people done to learn how to leverage this system?  I've found tons
of shallow tutorials, examples and books soon-to-be released ... but where
can I get something truly in-depth and useful?

thank you in advance.

Hi Keith,

Besides the documentation being not that bad anymore, there are lots of
blogs of people who have bumped their heads on many issues and learned to
use the product over time by actually implementing it at customer sites.
These people have greate insight on how BizTalk works, what it's quirks
might be, etc. Mose of those people are listed on the blog of Scott
Woodgate: http://blogs.msdn.com/scottwoo

HTH,

Martijn Hoogendoorn.

Hi Keith,

I've tried to compile a list of links to BizTalk 2004 related articles,
blogs and websites. This might provide you with some more information, as
there's some excellent material in people's blogs. You can find the list her
