Extending Applications Securely Using Service Broker

If you’ve ever tried to build a distributed application – one that spans multiple servers or even multiple sites – you know how complex it can be.  Web services are a common approach to that problem, but they aren’t the right solution to every problem.  SQL Server professionals have another option.  Service Broker is designed to run in a distributed architecture, and it has strong built-in security to protect the data as it is being transferred between systems.  As an added bonus, Service Broker can also be extended to interact directly with a Windows service, providing a bridge to web services or even Azure. I’ll demonstrate how to implement all of these advanced configurations using concrete, real-world examples in this session.
