A few months late, but I’ve just stumbled across the Introduction to the Unified Communications Managed API series at Joe Calev’s blog. The series starts here but stretches to part 16 as far as I can tell, and it’s quite interesting.

All of this comes about from the latest rumblings about the Warsaw API—which is indeed the UCMA. Curious? Joe says this about that:

There have been a number of names for this API. Until recently it was called UCP.NET and within our team we still refer to it as Warsaw, which some of you may have heard. Speech Server is built on top of this API and it allows you to create efficient SIP clients and SIP servers. This is the recommended API for creating middle tier applications and it is designed to be highly scalable. I will cover this API in depth in this series.

Looks like it’s in beta 3 now, but surely this is an API developers are interested in if they’re working on the space where Speech Server and SIP converge.

We have a book on Office Communications Server coming, and in the meantime we have a an excellent book, Pro LCS, that covers Live Communication Server administration in great detail.
