SQL Server 2005 Service Broker
SQL Server 2005 Service Broker

I will be speaking at DevTeach this year in Montreal, Canada on June 18-22, 2005.
My topics (so far -- waiting on a couple of other proposals, but this may be enough) are focused on various SQL Server 2005 features:
SQL Server 2005 Managed Stored Procedures
SQL Server 2005 Security
SQL Server 2005 Service Broker
This should be a fun conference and one I am looking forward to attending and speaking.
Rushi Desai is now blogging (RSS) on SQL Server 2005 Service Broker! Rushi spent some time working with the SQL Server engine and Service Broker last year at Microsoft and has been a big help to me in the past with some early questions. Take a look at one of his first posts on Service Broker. Subscribed!
As mentioned by Bob Beauchemin, there was a great night of Service Broker last week as part of the Guerilla SQL Server 2005. Dan Sullivan presented "Night of the Service Broker" with members of the SQL Server Service Broker team. Sounds like a fun opportunity to talk about one my favorite current topics!
As Bob also mentions, a new SQL Server Service Broker Developer Spot was created by Dan. According to Bob:
The site will host discussion forums, articles, tutorials, and also host cooperative development of some interesting service broker apps. It's open now, and they'll be sample applications (including the Service Broker client object model, courtesy of the team) up there shortly.
Sounds great! I have already created an account. Take a look, as I am sure this will evolve into a great resource!
I have posted my presentation and demo code from the SQL Server 2005 Service Broker talk I gave at the Heartland Developers Conference 2004 in Des Moines, Iowa on December 3. You can get them from these links:

I posted more information about the conference on my other blog.
I will be speaking next week on SQL Server 2005 Service Broker at the Heartland Developers Conference in Des Moines, Iowa on December 3, as I did at Code Camp II in October. At the time, I didn't have as much time to play with the bits, but I have since, and I still feel the same -- I love this new feature for SQL Server! I am putting together some articles after my talk next week to be featured in a few locations. Stay tuned.
By the way, you probably have already heard about the great series of webcasts on SQL Server 2005 planned for December. On Wednesday, December 8, there will be a webcast on “Introducing Service Broker in SQL Server 2005—Level 200”. Mark your calendars.
I have been spending some time with this new technology for awhile. Apart from my interest in the CLR as hosted in SQL Server 2005, Service Broker is one of the most interesting new technologies to come along. As cross-posted on my other blog:
SQL Server 2005 Service Broker (presentation)
Service Broker is a framework built into SQL Service 2005 that greatly simplifies the creation of reliable, scalable, message-based, asynchronous, distributed database application. A service broker can manage business transactions, which in practice can last for hours, days or indefinitely and span databases. A Service Broker application consists of a set of services, queues, message formats, and dynamically created conversation. Any application that can make a connection to SQL Server or a web service can make use of a Service Broker application. This session will cover the basics of Service Broker and show the implementation of a Service Broker application.
This will be in addition to other topics I will be presenting at
Code Camp II.
