The Week’s Link List (July 16, 2010)
Here’s my list of this week’s interesting Microsoft/PHP links. Lots of news about WebMatrix this week, news about Microsoft at OSCON next week, and more…
- Andrew Burst provides an overview of WebMatrix and takes a very interesting look at the history that led to WebMatrix: https://geekswithblogs.net/andrewbrust/archive/2010/07/10/webmatrix-razor-and-a-return-to-simplicity.aspx
- Ruslan Yakushev takes a look at how to use WebMatrix to customize PHP applications that are available in Web Application Gallery: https://ruslany.net/2010/07/install-php-applications-with-webmatrix/ (This post inspired me to look deeper into PHP support in WebMatrix, which I wrote about here.)

- Microsoft is at OSCON next week. The list of speakers/sessions that MS is offering looks great. (I would never miss an opportunity to see Erik Meijer present - he's great no matter what the topic is. I also know that Garret Serack is doing some interesting stuff with CoApp - I'm sure his presentation will be interesting): https://blogs.msdn.com/b/interoperability/archive/2010/07/15/microsoft-at-oscon-next-week.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0
As usual, feel free to share your MS/PHP links.
Thanks, and have a great weekend!
