I talked about Message Oriented Architectures at the Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) on the 27th of May in Oslo. This was my second speaker appearance at NNUG, and this session was a very different experience from my last one. I found it a lot more challenging to talk about architecture than talking about dynamic SQL vs. stored procedures. It’s really hard to decide on what slides and bullet points to include when delivering an introduction to such a wide and exiting topic.
It was fun to share my thoughts on XML and modern messaging, loosely coupled designs and asynchronous messaging. I ended the talk with some slides on GXA and the XML message bus. After the presentation we had a very interesting discussion about some issues with asynchronous designs.
I’ve made the slide deck available here if anyone is interested.
