We are at CUSEC in Montreal! The Developer Evangelist team is very excited to be attending the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference 2012 in Montreal .

I have had a couple of days off for Christmas, and once the children were happily playing with their new presents, my mind naturally turned to some outstanding server maintenance that I needed to do. Top of my list was completing the process of switching all of my servers over to fixed virtual hard disks. There are two reasons why you should use fixed virtual hard disks in production environments: Performance.

A colleague and I were chatting the other day and we were talking about STL implementations (in the context of a broader discussion about template meta-programming and how difficult it is).   During our discussion, I described the STL implementation as “read-only” and he instantly knew what I was talking about.  As we dug in further, I realized that for many languages, you can characterize computer languages as read-only and write-only[1] Of course there’s a huge amount of variation here – it’s always possible to write incomprehensible code , but there are languages that just lend themselves to being read-only or write-only

Vou começar agora uma série de posts sobre Scrum com Team Foundation Server. Scrum é um framework para resolução de problemas complexos, no nosso caso problema complexo é o software que queremos desenvolver. Team Foundation Server é o coração da plataforma de ALM da Microsoft, o Visual Studio ALM

La computación en la nube, en conjunto con las aplicaciones móviles y el nuevo escenario de consumerización, significan una sola cosa para los desarrolladores: una gran oportunidad. Y capacitarte es fundamental para saber aprovecharla.

原文の記事の投稿日: 2011 年 6 月 29 日 (水曜日)   今朝のニューヨークでの Steve による Office 365 についてのお知らせはご覧いただけたでしょうか。これは SharePoint ビジネスにとって本当に重要なマイルストーンであり、こうして最後に Office 365 と SharePoint Online についてさらにお話しできることにワクワクしています。 10 年前に SharePoint チームが始動したときの目標は、ユーザー間での作業の共有を支援する、という簡単なものでした。   この 10 年間に私たちは大きく成長しました。   1 億以上のライセンスを販売し、コラボレーション、コンテンツ管理、検索などの分野でリーダーとして認知される製品になりました。   Office 365 の一部として、SharePoint Online は私たちの物語が次の章に進むことを表しており、助け合うユーザー間での作業の共有がいっそう簡単になります。   Office 365 にはとても多くのものが詰め込まれていますが、私が強調したいのは次の 3 点です。 1.       第 1 に、ユーザーは Office 365 の生産性向上機能を気に入ることでしょう。   Office、Exchange、Lync、SharePoint の組み合わせにより、作業の効率化に必要なすべてのものが提供されます。 2.

O que seria um spinlock? Essa é uma pergunta recorrente e que mal consigo explicar… parte porque é uma estrutura pouco detalhada nos artigos da Microsoft. Para aqueles que nunca viram o “spinlock” documentado, segue algumas pistas de que ele realmente existe: Artigo de Suporte KB835864: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835864 On multiprocessor computers, access to these counter values must be serialized

Today, I was reading the official post on the Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 2 and Dean Hachamovitch’s P.S. on that post spiked my curiosity. First I read the explanation on the IE Engineering blog that explains some new implementations done on innerHTML in IE9: Interoperable HTML Parsing in IE9 .

Long time readers will know I keep a live twitter feed , filtered on OneNote, displayed for everyone on the team to read through whenever they want. It started on an old tablet, which later died, and got replaced with a "hand me down" desktop machine. Well, that desktop machine had a new use today – one of our testers needed it simply because its case and motherboard were sized correctly for a new video card he needed

  We are excited to announce that datajs version 0.0.4 is now available at http://datajs.codeplex.com/ .

When the Run .Net Script activity fails, sometimes the error message is not very informational.  Someone showed me the following exception (screenshot  of simplified repro): The error summary does not say what “this function” is, what “the current host” means, and more importantly which part of the script triggers the unimplemented function so that we can workaround it.  As a software engineer, I want to know whether it is the script’s fault or a bug in the activity, and how to fix it if it’s a bug. Here we will see how to use windbg to get the stack trace when the exception is raised. Which process to debug?
