From our Sponsor - O'Reily Press - Friday, January 19 - "Windows Developer Tools Day."
To celebrate the tools that make Windows developers' lives easier–and the people who’ve created them–we’re unilaterally declaring Friday, January 19th to be "Windows Developer Tools Day." It’s an ad hoc and spontaneous effort on our part to draw attention to the growing number of free and open source software (FOSS) tools that support developers who do their work on the Windows platforms.
We chose the date to coincide with the final day of CodeMash, a high-energy gathering of developers taking place in Sandusky, Ohio this week. We’re also launching a new title, "Windows Developer Power Tools," by Jim Holmes and James Avery, which documents more than 170 of the FOSS tools available today for Windows.
Please help us spread the word. DIGG the story here:

(Send an email to powertools@oreilly.com to let us know you dugg it.)
Or, blog about it: Take a few minutes to think about the tools you use, the ones you couldn’t do without, or the tool that’d make your job easier, if only you knew where to find it. Or write about a tool that you’ve developed. Then, take part in Tools Day by doing one of the
following:
* Blog about your favorite tool and why you like it
* Post a free copy of your favorite tool (if it’s legal, that is)
* Tell how a tool saved your life
* Describe a tool you’d like to see
Send a link to your blog to powertools@oreilly.com. We’ll post your link and point to your comments from our site. It’s a great way to bring attention to the tools developers rely on and the people who’ve created them, as well as stirring up some innovation for much-needed tools that don’t exist yet. We’re always looking for good ideas here at O’Reilly, so jump in and share your thoughts.
Let’s start the year with a round of applause for the toolmakers who made a difference in 2006, and the tools that will surprise us in 2007.

This intensive 4-day course explores the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). You will learn to identify the specific content patterns that drive business processes, enabling you to build comprehensive solutions that manage all aspects of the ECM lifecycle, including document security, check-in/check-out, information rights management (IRM), official records and holds, and workflow. You will also learn how SharePoint Content Types can encapsulate and extend your own custom content management components, which can then be used to support data gathering via electronic forms (InfoPath 2007), business process automation (Windows Workflow Foundation) and document generation (Open XML). see more... |
