Status Report - Jan. 31, 2002
Hey folks,
Here's my latest status report - just to let everyone know what I've been up
to. I'll be posting these occasionally to let you know what's coming down
the pike.
1.. I've been setting up the infrastructure so that we can standardize on
having a chat around 3 weeks after some of our whitepapers. Then we'll link
from the chat transcript to the whitepaper. Gives people a chance to read up
on a topic, and then get assistance on it as well.
2.. I'm working with the product team to set up regular "Newsgroup and Web
Site" blasts - where we'd get together in a room for an hour and answer
messages online. Watch this space for more info as it gells.
3.. Once #2 is set up, we're thinking of setting up a "topical blast"
where a topic would be selected, folks could post messages for a week, and
then we'd come online and work on those questions and set up white papers on
it as well.
4.. I got community feedback into an upcoming whitepaper on .NET and
Interop - thanks to everyone who helped out - I'll let you know when the
paper comes out!
Upcoming chats (http://msdn.microsoft.com/chats):
Windows Forms
Tuesday, February 12, 2002, 1:00 - 2:00 P.M. Pacific time (21:00 - 22:00
GMT)
While this session will initially cover the material in the "Essential Code
for Windows Forms Dialog Boxes", "Shaped Windows Forms and Controls in
Visual Studio .NET", and "Using Windows XP Visual Styles With Controls on
Windows Forms" whitepapers, please feel free to ask any Windows
Forms-related questions you may have.
Under The Covers With the Common Language Runtime
Thursday, January 31, 2002, 12:00 - 1:00 P.M. Pacific time (20:00 - 21:00
GMT)
The common language runtime (CLR) is the core of the .NET Framework. Built
on top of operating system services, it is responsible for executing .NET
applications-ensuring that all application dependencies are met, managing
memory, handling security, language integration and so on. The runtime
supplies many services that help simplify code development and application
deployment while also improving application reliability. Brad Abrams, .NET
Framework Lead Program Manager and Jim Hogg, Common Language Runtime Program
Manager, will be available to answer your questions about CLR.
.NET Remoting
Friday, February 1, 2002, 3:00 - 4:00 P.M. Pacific time (23:00 - 24:00 GMT)
The .NET Remoting development team will address your questions about .NET
Remoting, including how .NET Remoting can be used to create distributed
applications with .NET and how it can be extended with pluggable channels,
formatters and other powerful extensibility points. The chat will also cover
security, configuration and versioning.
XML Web Services Interoperability
Thursday, February 7, 2002, 12:00 - 1:00 P.M. Pacific time (20:00 - 21:00
GMT)
The promise of XML Web services rests on interoperability and ubiquity. Open
standards and rigorous multi-vendor testing ensure that a rich community of
Web services implementations will proliferate. Join us in this session with
Keith Ballinger and Yann Christensen from the team that brought you ASP.NET'
s Web services stack as we discuss Microsoft's work in XML Web services
interoperability.
Executive Chat with Jim Allchin: Visual Studio .NET
Tuesday, February 12, 2002, 3:00 - 4:00 P.M. Pacific time (23:00 - 24:00
GMT)
Visual Studio .NET is the comprehensive tool for rapidly building and
integrating XML Web services and applications, dramatically increasing
developer productivity and enabling new business opportunities. Talk to Jim
Allchin, Microsoft Group Vice President, about how Visual Studio .NET
improves developer productivity and enables new business opportunities.
Get Into the Visual Studio .NET Integrated Development Environment
Wednesday, February 13, 2002, 4:00 - 5:00 P.M. Pacific time (24:00 - 1:00
GMT)
Visual Studio .NET provides a single shared integrated development
environment (IDE) to improve developer productivity and to provide an
extensible foundation for 3rd party .NET languages and tools. In this
session Doug Hodges, Software Architect for the IDE, will be available to
answer your questions and provide tips and tricks for improving your
development productivity.
Executive Chat with Eric Rudder: Global XML Web Services Architecture
Monday, February 18, 2002, 4:00 - 5:00 P.M. Pacific time (24:00 - 1:00 GMT)
The Global XML Web Services Architecture (GXA) provides principles,
specifications and guidelines for advancing today's XML Web services
standards. This allows XML Web services to address more sophisticated and
complex tasks in standard ways. Through the GXA, XML Web services will
continue to advance while remaining the interoperable fabric of application
internetworking. Microsoft Senior Vice President Eric Rudder will be
available to answer your questions about the GXA and what it means for XML
Web services.
Executive Chat with Yuval Neeman: Enterprise Development
Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 3:00 - 4:00 P.M. Pacific time (23:00 - 24:00
GMT)
Enterprise product development, in many ways, is very similar to traditional
development. However, enterprise customers tend to be very systematic as
opposed to opportunistic in their approach to building applications.
Successfully building complex enterprise applications requires a solid
architecture and a common understanding of requirements across the
development team. Talk to Yuval Neeman, Microsoft Vice President, about
Enterprise development challenges today and how Visual Studio .NET
Enterprise toolset addresses some of these challenges including design,
development, deployment and security.
Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect Tools
Tuesday, April 2, 2002, 2:00 - 3:00 P.M. Pacific time (22:00 - 23:00 GMT)
Successfully building complex enterprise applications requires a solid
architecture and a common understanding of requirements across the
development team. The role of an architect is typically to help their
organizations build applications that scale, integrate with existing
systems, fulfill business requirements, and be maintainable over multiple
versions of the product. In this session, Keith Short, Software Architect
for enterprise features within Visual Studio will answer your questions
about the tools Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect provides for
architects to build enterprise applications in a systematic, repeatable and
predictable manner.

Further to my previous point regarding chats as not particularly useful for
technical "discussions", I based my comments on previous chats and not
necessarily Microsoft ones :-(
I have now looked at the Microsoft chat transcripts and found that in some
cases the panellists find the time to answer more of the "selected" questions
after the interactive session and, in others, formatted code has been included
in the transcript.
So, the Microsoft chats are quite well done, but I still think the newsgroups
will be a better forum :-) The same transcripts (or better) could still be
produced.
Regards,
Mark Hurd, B.Sc.(Ma.) (Hons.)

Thanks for the (continuing) feedback, Mark. I'm planning on doing a
combination of things including newsgroup-based, chat based and white paper
based to try to help people who prefer any given approach...
