You didn't have to go to //BUILD/ to get the information and knowledge of the new Windows Platform APIs; you could watch all the sessions from the comfort of your home, and I encourage you to do so, however attending the conference helps obtaining a perception about the future of Microsoft and especially the future of Windows technologies and the reaction of the developers that attended the conference. I didn't want to post about the conference before I have a clear picture, and believe me...

I have just received a mail telling me that I am continued to be a C++ MVP , 6 year in a row. I am happy to be C++ MVP. Although I am doing a lot of .NET and C# developing, I am also continue to have C++ project, Win32 and COM and I am doing a lot of interop. I have also taught several C++ classes this year including Advanced Windows Debugging Techniques and Windows Concurrent Programming in the Multi-Core Era with the new concurrent runtime and libraries of VC++ 10. The rumors say that C++ will...
In the last Dev Academy I have given a lecture in the TDM (R&D Manager) track about Software Porting, The Why, When, and How. During the lecture I have talked about many different migration scenarios: from VB 6.0 to C#/VB.NET. From VC++ 6.0 to VC 2008/2010, From Unix/Linux to Windows, From old .NET to new .NET etc. I have talked about the porting project, best practices and tools. This is the link to the lecture’s slides. There are many useful links inside it. This is the link to the lecture...
Thanks for all of you that despite the traffic jams, made it and came to the first meeting. And thanks again for your feedbacks, all of them were excellent! Here are the links for the resources that we talked about: Windows 7 Training Kit Visual Studio 2010 Training Kit – The kit contains the MFC labs for the Windows 7 features XP2Win7 – stay tuned for a new release next week, or two.

Come and join Pavel and me to the first meeting of the Windows Platform Developers user group . If the Windows platform is interesting you (and it probably does, otherwise you won’t be reading this post) you have to come. This is the chance to influence the spirit of the group. Pavel and I wanted to have a group for people like us. Those who develop for Windows with any needed tool, not just .NET or C++ but both and even more. The first meeting will be about Windows NT 6.1, this is the shortest way...

I own a Dual CPU Pentium III computer. This machine is 10 years old. I used to take it to companies back in the beginning of the millennium to teach about multi CPU programming. I have also developed and tested device drivers on it. around 2004 I began to use it as a gateway to my home automation system. It runs Windows XP with all my home automation related applications and code that I have developed. The machine became very noisy, I have replaced all the fans and put some oil but still the decibel...

As the co-author of the “ Introducing Windows® 7 for Developers ” book I wrote the two chapters about the new Windows Ribbon Framework. The first Ribbon chapter deals with the Ribbon markup language and the second chapter deals with the code behind. To let the reader the ability to understand and play with the markup language before reading the code behind chapter, I have created an open source project named RibbonExpolorer . The Ribbon team from Microsoft has also created such a tool named...

Windows 7 introduces a new Windows Ribbon framework, a framework that enables creating of a modern rich user interface and user experience based on the Office 2007 fluent UI concepts. The Windows Ribbon framework adopted the Model-View-Controller pattern. The UI is written using XAML like language, the controller is a COM based code and the Model is your business logic. To enable developing the Ribbon markup we have created the Ribbon Explorer program. These are the feature of Ribbon...
In these days I am finishing writing the second chapter of two in a book about Windows 7 Developmen t. I have joined the other authors of the book to assist and I am writing about developing the Windows Ribbon . The first chapter deals with the XAML language of the native Ribbon, while the second chapter deals with the code behind. The first chapter is already went to the editor. About couple of days ago, I have got a mail from the editor that says that other writers found some differences between...
We have released the Beta 1.0 of Ribbon Explorer , A win7 application which takes a ribbon markup (XML) and shows the resulting ribbon. The application compiles the Ribbon XML, (UICC.exe, RC.exe Link.exe). loads it and instantiate a window with the resulting Ribbon. The application controls the Ribbon and shows the Ribbon events. Features: Read a Ribbon markup file which its full path is provided in the first argument of the command line. Enable editing of the supply XML file, or a new XML file Show...

During the last few months a small team from Sela , has developed course materials, exercises and demos for the DPE Metro Program, that show how to develop with the new features of Windows 7. As you may know, all of the new feature of the system are exposed to native developer, using Win32 API and COM. To use C# and .NET we developed set of wrappers. Sasha developed the Taskbar wrappers, and also wrote about it in his blog. Dima developed the Sensor & Location Platform wrappers and I developed...

Don't take me wrong, I do love C# and managed code, but often we need to develop in C++ and for good reasons. I have the feeling that we are in the beginning of the Native (C/C++) development renaissance, why do I say so? Here are the signs? Enhanced MFC and new C++ TR1 standard are part of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Visual Studio 2010 has many new tools for the native developers The next version of Visual C++ has C++0x capabilities such as auto and lambda expressions There is a new native Concurrent...
Technorati Tags: COM+ , WCF , Architecture , C++ , SOA , .NET For all of you who have been at my lecture I hope that you enjoyed and that you have learned few new things, If you didn't get my message, here is a summary: Think about the future, the present is the past of the future. Invest in the architecture. Decoupling is the name of the game, always was and always will be. Know your framework roadmap. New technologies make decoupling easier. Using WCF interoperabilities lets you re-use old...
