New Job New Post

  • Article

Just looked and saw that my last post was Oct. 2006. Time sure flys by. Let's see what has changed. Moved from developer support to our global ISV team. My new job is to work with ISV's around adopting MSFT technology into their product lines. So what are some of the new technologies that ISV's are looking at.

PowerShell

IIS 7.0 in Windows Server 2008

System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007

Office Business Applications (OBA)

Software as a Service (SaaS)
https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/architecture/aa699384.aspx

Visual Studio 2008 (formerly known as Visual Studio code name "Orcas")
https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default.aspx

These are just a few of the many. If you are a developer I would suggest that you take a look at Visual Studio 2008. I think you will find that it is a big improvement from the 2005 version.

If you are an IT-Pro take a look at PowerShell. It can make your life much easier.

Have fun.
