Microsoft has released a beta version of the next major release of Visual Studio and the .NET framework.
Visual Studio “Orcas” will enable developers to write programs that can run on Windows Vista, Longhorn Server, Office 2007 and the Web. The .NET Framework v3.5 will provide better support for Web 2.0 and AJAX applications. Microsoft has been planning to release Orcas this year, but a corporate VP recently told ZDNet that it may not happen until 2008.
The default WordPress blog title “Hello, World” seems appropriate for the debut article of a software development blog, so I’ve decided to keep it.
I never thought I would write a blog. Adding to the 175,000 new blogs on the Web each day didn’t seem like a worthwhile endeavor. What could I possibly say that hasn’t already been said? But then I realized that at least once a day I learn a new tip or trick that could possibly benefit someone else. Many times I’ve found the answer to a tough problem from some generous soul on the Web, so I wish to repay the favor. Plus I suppose I have a story to tell that software developers and entrepreneurs may find educational, if not entertaining.
