We are pleased to present a recording of a joint webinar we presented on June 12, 2008 with XAware entitled How to Create and Orchestrate Services for Your SOA and Web 2.0 Applications.

Despite the imposing title, I think you will find the content — especially the lively Q&A at the end of the webinar — very interesting.

OK, at risk of obscuring my passionate post of earlier today about BPMN, BPEL and BPEL4People, it’s about time that we posted the pix of us at JavaOne. It’s taken a whole week because the Flickr plugin I tried earlier this week crashed the blog completely.

Anyway, I was motivated to do this this afternoon because our guys are calling everyone whom we met at JavaOne to follow-up. And just a few minutes ago, Mike Kettering came in to tell me a woman he spoke with had a great time at the party. It was so nice of her to tell Mike that she’d had a good time so long after the party ended.

Frankly, I don’t remember the party very well, but I know I had a blast. (-:

Just click on a thumbnail to see the photos from Flickr. Those big yellow bowls were actually lighted, though you can’t see it in the photos. And most of the other shots showing people palming big snifters are of people enjoying a 40oz cocktail masterpiece.

So, next time we invite you to a pahty, you’re gonna come, right?

We are pleased to offer our first audio podcast. Until now, we’ve used our podcast feed to offer videos, webinar replays and news about Active Endpoints in PDF form.

Now, we are going to a more “classic” use of our podcast feed by providing audio interviews with the people inside Active Endpoints who are driving our product and market efforts. I hope to offer regular podcasts that span the gamut of topics: from marketing to technology with everything in between.

Enjoy this inaugural episode with Chris Keller, a founder of Active Endpoints, who I stuck in the “Wayback Machine” and asked a couple of tough historical questions. First, “Why BPEL”? And second, “What lead to the requirement for BPEL4People and WS-Human Task”?

Please join us for an informative webinar on April 17 entitled BPEL Basics for Java Developers. Register here.

This informative webinar will help you expand your Java knowledge to acquire an understanding of the basics of BPEL. A high-level overview of BPEL and its importance in a web-services environment will be presented, along with a brief discussion of the basic BPEL activities and how they relate to Java concepts. The following topics will be covered:
• Parsing the Language of SOA with Java as a guide
• Breaking out of the VM: evolving from RPC to Web Services
• BPEL Activities - Receive, Reply, Invoke • BPEL Facilities - Fault Handling and Compensation (“Undo”)

We hope you can join us.
