![]() Intel is a platinum sponsor of Microsoft’s WinHEC 2005 — an event designed to deliver technical information to individuals who plan, design or develop hardware for Windows-based computers.
64-bit computing is the next step in the computing continuum and will be a focus at the show. Intel and Microsoft are leading the industry shift by offering the broadest choice of industry standard platforms available today. Intel’s end-to-end 64-bit solutions for desktops, workstations and servers based on the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology, Intel® Xeon™ processor and Itanium® 2 processor-based platforms are propelling the move to 64-bit computing. In addition to 64-bit solution demos, Intel will showcase compelling new technologies at the show, including:
 |
manageability and virtualization technology |
|
multi-threading and multi-core computing |
|
chipset and memory technology transitions |
|
mobility and wireless platform solutions, and |
|
advances in I/O technologies.
| Welcome to WinHEC 2005! |

Welcome to the WinHEC 2005 LonghornBlog! This is where you'll find all of our coverage of WinHEC 2005, here and around the web. We'll be showing off some cool new hardware and software, as real-time as possible. This is the first peek that the general public has seen of Longhorn in quite some time, and we'll have all the details here |
Are you a developer interested in improving your .NET skills? Then this is the event to attend. Greater PA (East) Code Camp promises to be the biggest and best community owned event we've ever had. This free two day seminar is designed as a series of intensive code related demos and technical sessions to guide the developer to the next skill level. The continuing goal of the Code Camps is to provide an intensive developer to developer learning experience that is fun and technically stimulating. The focus is on delivering programming information and sample code that can be used immediately. All training, slides, manuals and demo code are provided free!
This two day camp is hosted at the Community College of Philadelphia. The leading technical camp counselors from the Greater PA Developer Community will share their technical expertise and experiences. This code camp is divided into six tracks – ASP.NET 2.0, WinForms and Smart Client, patterns & practices and Enterprise Library, SOA and architectures, data access and SQL Server, and development tools and lifecycle. We also have hands-on labs scheduled throughout the event.
This special presentation will be held at the Community College of Philadelphia Business & Industry Building in Center City, Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, April 23, from 9:00-9:00 and Sunday, April 24, from 9:00-5:00. Refreshments are provided courtesy of Microsoft. Please register on the Microsoft event web site. Detailed directions are on our web site. Session schedules are now posted.

MS Pattern & Practices Enterprise Development Reference Architecture
The Enterprise Development Reference Architecture (EDRA, formerly known as "Shadowfax") is a new MS patterns & practices deliverable that has been openly developed with community input via the GotDotNet website. EDRA is a sort of 'uber' application block that provides a framework for developing distributed applications on the .NET platform. The PAG team developed the EDRA after talking with customers and reviewing solutions that were developed to solve similar problems on both the Microsoft® .NET and J2EE platforms. I will be giving an overview of the architecture & design of the EDRA framework itself, what it was developed for, and if time permits, a demo of a sample application running on top of it.
Peter Laudati, Microsoft Consulting Services
Peter has been working most recently with a customer using the Enterprise Development Reference Architecture (EDRA) from the Microsoft's Patterns & Practices group in Redmond, WA. He also worked on the Patterns & Practices publication "Application Interoperability: Microsoft .NET and J2EE". This book covers interoperability technologies, interoperability design elements, and features a reference application developed on both the .NET Framework and J2EE.

As Rob pointed out here, Community Server 1.0 is the asp.netPRO Reader's Choice Winner for Forums.
Congrats Rob, Scott and the rest of the Team, it's all about community! |
| Chris Alden and his team have been laboring over Rojo for nearly two years, and have learned quite a bit during the site's beta phase, which required an invite. The site is now public.
Rojo is an RSS feed reader with a community twist - it allows its users to search, share, tag, and publish the content they read. Learn more about it here, sign up at rojo.com. |
I've been using Rojo for six months now and I like it, it just needs a bigger community. Tags, search and community, what more could you want?
Developer eLearning is a new site from our friends and mentors at MSDN. As you and I well know this software development business is all about learning.
What is eLearning?
eLearning is an effective and efficient system of self-paced personal training, available over the Internet. Microsoft has made courses available in eLearning form to cover several of the important new technologies in Visual Studio 2005, including Connected Systems and Smart Clients, plus Windows Server 2003. More courses are planned for the near future.
eLearning Frequently Asked Questions
We're thrilled to announce that Dr. Gary William Flake has joined the Microsoft as a Distinguished Engineer; Dr. Flake is the first person outside the company to be hired as a distinguished engineer (DE).
Dr. Flake comes from Yahoo where he led their research and development efforts, focusing on creating the next generation of Web search. At Microsoft he'll be responsible for bridging the innovation happening between Microsoft Research and MSN and for setting the technology vision and future direction of the MSN portal, web search, desktop search and monetization engine.
Here's the short bio from his homepage:
Dr. Flake joined Yahoo! with the acquisition of Overture in 2003 to lead Yahoo!s research and development efforts, focusing on creating the next generation of Web search. Prior to joining Overture, he was a research scientist at NEC Research Institute and the leader of its Web data-mining program. He has numerous publications spanning over 15 years which have focused on machine learning, data mining, and self-organization. His other research interests include Web measurements, efficient algorithms, models of adaptation inspired by nature, and time series forecasting.
Dr. Flake has served on numerous academic conference and workshop organization committees and is a member of the editorial board for the Association for Computing Machinery's Transactions on Internet Technologies. Dr. Flake, who earned his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland, College Park, also wrote the award-winning book, The Computational Beauty of Nature, which is used in college courses worldwide.

Great to see MSN hiring someone who knows something, their still in denial over the MSN Found diabolical.
Jason the link master has a great summery of the Adobe Macromedia acquisition roundup
Whenever I hit a link and a PDF file pops-up I cringe and sit helplessly as the Adobe Acrobat reader (I’m the reader remember) ever so slowly unfolds. I don’t use any other Adobe products, I've tried Photoshop, but it is so much more then I need.
Flash is for the kids, its fun for games and stuff, but has Macromedia made any money from Flash? Dreamweaver is a product I've never used, but you don’t hear much about it these days.
Has there been any innovation from Adobe or Macromedia since the dotcom bust? Will there be inspiration for innovation from this merger/acquisition? Let’s hope so, but I don’t think so.
I think both companies were on the road to obsolescence and this is a scheme to cash-out by the head executives. There is no way Macromedia is worth 3.4 BILLION DOLLARS, no way, I would like to see a list of all the shares of Macromedia sold over the last six months, in every corner of this planet.
