Share the Love
Now let us share the great love that MS has for all developers and architects (except the Java guys!!).
:-). Just kidding.
I'm going to have to start preparing for a knowledge sharing session at my company in return for them sponsoring my trip to TechEd. Not a bad bargain eh? In any case, I'm all for these kind of sessions and was an ardent proponent of the various tech forums we used to have internally, in the good ol days when there were sufficient numbers of us to ensure attendance! Nowadays there are a very few people left and the percentage of folk who would participate in such sessions is even less. Got to coordinate with the chap who came along and attended other sessions so we can give one comprehensive talk. I'm sure that Whitehorse will make an impact on then. Havent had time to download ShadowFax and Fabriq yet, but let me see if I can get round to it before the session which I've planned for sometime next week.
Oh and one more thing. I picked up the whitepaper that Juval talked about in the Architecture Clinic. Its called the IDesign Method. I also mailed him and obtained the Sample Architecture Report which is a fascinating document. One thing he mentioned was that he was involved closely with the VS2005 Team System and perhaps in future versions, the system will allow creation of diagrams recommended in his method. But then again, maybe we can extend the tool right now to do the same. Steve Cook mentioned that there is a shallow extensibility available. Need to download it and investigate the possibilities.
