The Labs of Microsoft Hardware 1 of 6
Sep 21, 2009 at 9:51 AMThis is going to be a very interesting set of video's if the first one is anything to go by.
I was surprised that the range of tests the humble mouse under goes was that sophisticated. It has given me a little more respect for it.

10-4 Episode 22: Simplifying Data-Driven Web Applications
Jun 07, 2009 at 2:15 AMCool! I've been waiting for this feature for a long time! How much code is this going to save? Allot.
It's still kinda clunky to marry the form up with the metadata buddy class, it would be nice if the form had an extra property that guided it to the buddy class instead of having to work out how to do it in code. Now all we need is a nice editor!
I've been enjoying these 10-4 shows, keep it up!
John Shewchuk and Dennis Pilarinos: BizTalk Services Explained
Jun 20, 2007 at 5:56 AMHere are afew I've thought of ...
BizBus
CFBus
.NetFX Discussion Services
Parley
CakeCom ... because it's as simple as
Gosh, I really hope this is in Orcas! My reasoning is because if it's there Devs will use it. If it's not many Dev's won't know of it's existence and try and write there own. If it's intention is to be free then why not bundle it in, hey it could even be another selling point (like Orcas needed any more!)
John Shewchuk and Dennis Pilarinos: BizTalk Services Explained
Jun 20, 2007 at 4:20 AMThat is an impressive demo!!! The potential of this is very far reaching specially in the SOA space.
Anyway I have some questions if that’s ok, and they are …
So what is the performance like?
How far can I scale this?
Can I get this to work with (W)WF?
Can I do async or long running communications with this technology?
Have you tried connecting this to Java and other non-Microsoft technologies?
Isn’t calling this technology ‘Biztalk Connectivity Services’ going to get it confused with the full Biztalk product? Specially if there is no migration strategy from one to the other?
I’m pretty excited about this … and I have a 100 more questions but that’s enough to be getting on with for now.
Next Generation User Group: Helping Developers Stay Ahead of the Curve - Part 1
May 22, 2007 at 4:28 AMIf you are serious about your .Net coding then you shouldn't miss out on this very special user group.
It's informative, good fun, wacky, not London-centric ... it keeps you ahead of the curve.
UK Community: DeveloperDeveloper Day
Dec 22, 2006 at 1:01 AMEagle pack it in! If you want to make a statement, make a thread and answer comments in the normal way, don't be disruptive and take threads off track to fulfil your own agenda.
*********************************************
Back to the point, what makes the DDD model successful?
1) Completely community run event
2) Different user groups coming together and push in the same direction.
3) Community speakers with real world experience this makes credibility
4) Informative and popular sessions because the community votes for the sessions they want
5) Good venue, it's not central but it is very easy to get to and the rooms are good.
6) Supportive sponsors that allow a very high degree of freedom and autonomy
So what have I missed ?
The thing is that it's a simple format and there is no reason it couldn't be copied else where by different countries or communities.

One of the best things I love about user groups is that they give the opportunity for anyone to try their hand at speaking. Many groups have latched onto this with a 15 min 'nugget' talk at the beginning of an evening.
Now I'm going to do my first 'nugget' in Jan at my local user group and it's my first public presentation.
