Mary Jo has nice coverage of David Chappell's Oslo talk at TechEd this week. Also nice was BillG talking about the project in his farewell address as an FTE. I'd love to hear from folks who saw the Chappell talk - I had to miss it when he was in Redmond...

I'm in a PDC planning meeting with the VS folks. I just heard the mantra around the Visual C++ team is that “10 is the new 6.” msdev.exe was one of my favorite executables of all time. Wahoo!

Congrats to the folks from Building 35 for getting the first CTP of Velocity out the door. Here's a nice page on getting started with velocity .

Congrats to Shanku's team for shipping the first CTP of MEF . We're using MEF daily and it's quite a useful bit of code.

I've been spending a lot of time with XML again lately. Since my last stint with XML, I know we shipped native XML suppport in VB9. I also know that there are E4X implementations out in the wild. What I'd love to know is how either of these are working...

It's PDC season again. The site went live this week - http://microsoftpdc.com/ It will be good to put bits in people's hands (or in our datacenters :-)).

Doug's posted another “ we're hiring ” missive. Doug's been running my team for coming up on a year. Doug has more passion and energy than anyone I've ever worked with. Getting to work on a team that's building a language and a tool is both...

I saw this piece on Slashdot about folks wanting to open-source SOM and DSOM. SOM lost to the JVM (and the CLR on our side) - although it's interesting to go back and look at the COM/SOM comparisons of that era and replace SOM with CLR. Fun times.

This quote isn't mine, it's from the slashdot article on the Future of XML but I just had to reference it.

This recent Slashdot post on “ The Future of XML ” made me think about Ted’s post on Java and doneness . Personally (not speaking for my employer) XML has achieved Patriot-esque doneness (ignoring last Sunday's disappointment with the...

Here's the evidence. Point 1: Now the data points are coming in that the lack of SOA talent is killing SOA. (via David Linthicum ) Point 2: SOA is the only thing Chuck Norris can't kill. (via the encyclopedia of SOA ) Conclusion: A lack of talent can...

Chris Sells has decided to reveal the technique I used last year to write the foreword for both his and ChrisAn's books. If you have both books, read the forewords I wrote. Note that there is significant reuse between the two forewords (they'd be identical...
