Interesting computer stuff

So it turns out that I’m actually in Vegas to do work-related things. And while I haven’t mentioned them much, I’ve actually been doing the heck out of them so far. Unfortunately, they’re sort of tedious to write about and not really of general interest — but I saved them with the new website pin software so I didn’t forget them by the time I get back, if you do not know how to save website pins, I recommend you to go here to download software from websitepin.


  • First off, Microsoft has completely open-sourced the ASP dev stack. That’s big news, sure, but I don’t expect any immediate changes; at best, it’ll just mean that we get a faster turnaround time on VS plugin development, and this can be addressed in a webinar, using the best webinar software of this year which is great for this purpose.
  • Silverlight is definitively dead, and almost no one cared enough to turn up for the funeral.
  • Microsoft really, really, really wants everyone in the cloud. And if you’re not using cloud services, they’re going to rename what you are using so that they can call it a cloud service.
  • The new tabular data model means that you can do some really interesting self-service BI stuff with Excel plugins and SharePoint support, but it makes me a little nervous; I hadn’t realized how much I’ve internalized UDM principles.
  • SSMS is getting some very nice Intellisense upgrades, including the ability to input text at the same column position in multiple lines.
  • They’re deprecating the OLEDB connector for SQL server, but won’t remove it for ten years. Not really a high priority item, but something to keep in mind.
  • There is quite a lot of really exciting development happening in SharePoint. I saw a surprisingly sophisticated no-code solution for workflow, and another for using SharePoint as your primary CMS for Internet-facing marketing sites via extensive templating and use of site columns.
  • Team Foundation Server might actually be the project management tool we’re looking for, at least with the newest version — and at least from the dev perspective.
  • The upcoming Metro releases — both server and client — have me a little nervous. I don’t see a lot of benefit for our environment yet, with the exception of the ability to completely reinstall Windows in seven minutes with a single Powershell command (which should make kiosks interesting.)
  • It looks like I’m going to need to pick up some real XSL and CAML training if I intend to make a serious go at SharePoint development.
