David Chappell blogging and bpm

Monday, June 28th, 2004

Stumbled on to David Chappell’s blog (he of MS tech fame, not the Sonic messaging guy). His 40.000′ view of .NET was just exactly the entry I needed when diving into All That Stuff last year.

He’s posted a decent slideshow (pdf) of BizTalk 2004, stating:

I believe that as integration morphs into business process management, BizTalk is changing from an edge technology into one that’s much more central for .NET-oriented developers.

Earlier, he argued for careful naming of this new platform, emphasizing ’server’ over ’system’. Anyone arguing the importance of names will usually make me smile in appreciation.

And much earlier, in January, only his 2nd or 3rd blog entry, he restated Moore’s Law in a dramatic way:

My favorite way of expressing Moore’s Law, one that I think better captures the extraordinary impact this rate of change implies, is the realization that we’ll make as much progress in processor speed in the next year and a half as we’ve made in the entire history of computing to date. Who can predict the effect of this level of change? Answer: nobody.
