It’s a long way back
This morning I felt like compiling a list of some kind. As a developer I tend to like lists and compiling.
The list title was: "Things released, or announced, by Microsoft while I was away and I need to learn (TODO)" (the working title was even longer actually). Here it is:
- Windows 7
- Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2
- BizTalk 2009
- SQL Server 2008 and IIS 7
- Hyper V
- WCF (I know but I don't know it)
- Azure
- Dublin
- ESB Toolkit
- Visual Studio 2008 (and 2010 beta)
- VSTS 2008 (and 2010)
- Framework 3.5 (and talk about 4.0)
- Oslo
The good folks at Microsoft can surely fork 'em out! I think I will start with … … Well some guys I trust tells me that WCF is necessary bread and butter and Azure is the cool stuff so off I go.
Nice middle management people at my place of work made it possible for some of my colleagues to become MSTS for WCF (my face is green with envy I can assure you). Johan Hedberg (the head master of my colleagues' strife) said that this is the book to read if I want to learn WCF.
As usual Microsoft Press has seen to it that it is completely impossible to remember the title of any book. It is much simpler to just memorize the ISBN13 number.
New from Microsoft Press, out on Amazon: 9780735625655!
