IE 9: Standards and Interoperability

Charles — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:22:00 GMT

The IE team is busy working on the next version of the world's most popular browser. IE 8 is the most widely used browser on Windows. IE 9 is currently in the oven and the IE team is ready to talk about what they're working on. Here, IE GM Dean Hachamovitch introduces some of the key advances his team is making and leads us through the halls of IE (literarally) to learn from the engineers who are building the future of IE. John Hrvatin and Kris Krueger talk to us about where they are with improvements in IE 9's interoperability and standards support.

Configuring WebDAV Extension and Deploying PHP Applications

The IIS WebDAV extension module incorporates new features that enable web authors to publish content easier than before, and offers web administrators more security and deployment options.

Windows Server 2008 R2 incorporates the WebDAV extension module feature. All you have to do is to enable it.

Watch this how-to demo and learn more about IIS Extensions here.

Inside IE 8 RC1 with Dean Hachamovitch and Jason Upton

Charles — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:34:00 GMT

IE team General Manager Dean Hachamovitch and IE Test Manager Jason Upton sit down with me to discuss the significance of today's IE 8 RC1 release. What did the IE team learn from the Beta 2 release? What changes did they make in response to customer feedback? Will the IE team still take and act upon fedback now that RC1 is here? With so many browsers on the market today how does IE remain competitive and maintain marketshare? No conversation on IE can be complete, of course, without talking about the web platform and standards so we go there....

Of course, you can expect this discussion to continue at MIX09 (and you'll be a key participant in the conversation with Dean and team in Vegas).

See the IE Blog for more detailed info on what's in IE8 RC1.

Tune in. This is a great conversation with two key leaders behind and in front of IE (Dean is the all up team leader (as you know by now given how many times you've seen him on C9 and at various conferences) and Jason is responsible for overall product quality (he owns the stuff you seldom see or hear about - software testing)).

Scott Isaacs: Introducing Web Sandbox

Charles — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:19:00 GMT

Web Sandbox is a project from Live Labs, a group focused on Internet technologies. Dragos Manolescu (who worked on Live Labs and Political Streams) and Scott Isaacs (who worked on Windows Live Gadgets and is credited with the creation of DHTML) made the initial project pitch. Since then the Web Sandbox team leveraged the expertise of and talent from other groups interested in securing the web, such as Windows Live, MSN and DP Languages.

IE 8: On the Path to Web Standards Compliance - ACID 2 Test Pass Complete

Charles — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 20:03:00 GMT

The IE team has been very hard at work on IE 8 for the past several months and they hit a huge milestone last Friday evening. The IE dev team checked in a bunch of code that included several new features implemented in the core rendering engine that enable IE to pass the ACID 2 test! This is great news for web developers: IE 8 is going to be our most standards compliant browser to date. Passing ACID 2 is really a combined side effect of all the new features that have been developed for IE 8.

In this interview, I sit down with IE GM Dean Hachamovitch and Architect Chris Wilson to discuss this milestone and dig into compliance in general, lessons learned from IE 7 and discuss the IE team's ultimate goal of de facto interoperability. Of course, no Channel 9 interview is complete without meeting some of the devs who actually write technology so we take a walk from Dean's office to super developer Alex Mogilevsky's office to discuss what's been done to provide IE with the core rendering features that enable IE 8 to pass the ACID 2 test. We also chat with CSS guru Markus Mielke who was instrumental in identifying and planning the feature set required to pass ACID 2.

Tune in!

Hello niners

JonUdell — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 01:30:48 GMT

Just a quick note to introduce myself. My short bio is here. I joined Microsoft two weeks ago, you'll be seeing my writing, my podcasts, and my screencasts here and elsewhere.

A lot of the writing happens on my blog. The first of my Channel 9 media contributions is Microsoft Conversations series I got together with Chris Wilson. He's been involved with Internet Explorer and with web standards for over a decade. We talked about the history and evolution of IE, about Ajax, about ways of extending the browser -- ranging from bookmarklets to Firefox extensions to plug-ins -- and about the W3C's invitation to Chris to chair its new HTML working group.
