Last year, we ran a series of BizTalk server tips that were curated out of our own experience and from our friends from the Integration MVP Community. The tips were created as individual blogs posts by Ricardo Torre over a period of 30 days. This blog post will serve as a table of contents to access each blog post. We have also made these tips available as an eBook (Available here) that can come in handy when required.
