WOMENBUILD : Inspiring Career Paths In Technology

Posted By: Laura Foy | Nov 7th @ 12:04 PM

While capturing some of the show floor buzz last week at PDC - I made it a point to save some time for the WomenBuild Networking Event. The workshop invited attendees (both men AND women) to collaborate ideas and formulate solutions using Lego Bricks. Clearly, they're not just for kids anymore! As brains melded, ideas flowed and great conversation ensued- there was also another goal of the event and that was to inspire people from all walks of life to get excited by technology and realize the multiple different career paths one can take in the technical field. Asli Bilgin was the lead on this event so I spoke with her and several key players to bring you total coverage. Check it out and learn how to participate HERE.

Windows 7: Find and Organize Part 2 - Building Federated Search applications

Posted By: Dan Fernandez | Nov 4th @ 7:50 AM
In Part 1, you saw the user experience of finding and organizing your files in Windows 7.

In Part 2, David Washington and Brandon Paddock show how developers can build federated search applications that enable you to easily search your organization's intranet or the Web and integrate those search results directly into Windows Explorer.

The best part is that instead of needing to install software on Windows 7 to get new search providers, you simply run an XML configuration file to add a search provider to your machine!
