SQL Server Express for Developers

Tonight's meeting of NYCDOTNETDEV

This presentation, recently presented at VSLive, will get you up and running with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, the latest free version of SQL Server available to use and redistribute with your database applications. Learn how you can leverage features available specifically in the Express edition. We’ll compare Express with the other SQL Server 2005 editions, and describe scenarios that Express is particularly well-suited for. Find out how to handle the configuration of new SQL Server 2005 features, such as CLR integration, in the context of new features available only in Express, such as user instances. Explore features such as dynamic database attachment, security, advanced services and more.

SiteMaps protocol

Microsoft, Google, Yahoo! Unite to Support Sitemaps

Yahoo, Google and Microsoft join forces (really !!) behind Sitemaps

Microsoft, Google and Yahoo come together to support of the SiteMaps protocol

The Sitemap Protocol allows you to inform search engines about URLs on your websites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap that uses the Sitemap Protocol is an XML file that lists URLs for a site. The protocol was written to be highly scalable so it can accommodate sites of any size. It also enables webmasters to include additional information about each URL (when it was last updated; how often it changes; how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.

Whenever Microsoft, Google and Yahoo cooperate we all benefit.
