So after two days of downloading at broadband speeds, I finally got all the pieces of the Orcas Mrach CTP downloaded. Doublce-clicking on Part1.exe expanded the other 8 RAR files. Once that was done, I used Virtual PC 2007 on top of my Vista Ultimate desktop OS. I left the setting at 1 GB of RAM. I then attached to the VPC image and there I was staring at a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise login. The VPC image seems to be put together well. In addition to Orcas (Visual Studio 9), both SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 are present. A nice bonus is that TFS is fully installed saving a lot of work. So far, I have just created a Team Project in VSTS/TFS and the speeds are ok. I am going to be digging in during parts of the weekend, so I'll have more as I go along.

I have already said my piece on the Vista launch but also Office 2007 launches today which really rocks. The much better Outlook 2007 is worth the price of admission alone IMHO. Vista and Office Launches Vista Launch Page Bill Gates Keynote European Launch Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor Office 2007 Launch Page Nial Kennedy on launch in San Francisco Microsoft Debuts Vista in Global Marketing Blitz Robert McLaws posts on all those great Vista Updates that finally showed up last night on my Update. Can someone get me to stop playing Hold 'Em Ultimate Extra, my fingers hurt -) Software Architecture/SOA Pablo asks "CRUD Service for Service - Is a Bad Practice?" I think it depends, and as Robert Wilczynski says in the comments, some kinds of CRUD are fine, but the greater anti-pattern is chatty contract/interface. What's your thoughts? Pablo also talks about Services in .NET Part 1 Edward has started a new series of posts about factory basics called 'Factories 201', and he has kicked that off with a post entitled "What are they (concretely)?" [via Jezz Santos ] Arnon continues his excellent architectural writings on his Architect Blog with What Is SOA Anyway?: Part I, Ambiguity and Anyway? Part II, Hype Soma talks about Software Factories [via Harry ] WCF/Web Services/Workflow William Tay makes the very real case for why WS-ReliableMesaging is vital. I mean, when people *** about WS-*, I don't get how its not obvious that "the main characteristics of Web services is communication over unreliable communication channels such as the Internet employing unreliable data transfer protocols such as HTTP, SMTP and FTP" and many of us need things like WS-RM and other standards to build real service-oriented systems that actually do something.

Workflow/BPM/WCF/SOA David Chappell presents arguments both pro and con as to whether Microsoft qualifies as a BPM vendor. Personally, I think the answer is yes, especially when WF is intergrated into BizTalk 200x and other products. Nicholas Allan continues the excellent Indigo WCF posts with Controlling the Synchronization Process LINQ and Family/CLR PLINQ, which I blogged about some time ago has surfaced again with this post from DonXML where he does some clever reading of Microsoft job posts! to make some educated speculations on the growing importance of Concurrency and Parallellism in the CLR as well as PLINQ . And yes, Don, "the cool kids [ALREADY] realize that WPF, WCF and WF are yesterday's news, and LINQ is where it is at ;)" Speaking of LINQ, see the XMLTeam blog for the announcement of the LINQ to XSD Preview and these links: Here is the link to the LINQ to XSD download . The LINQ to XSD overview document is available separately. You also need the LINQ download (May 2006 CTP) Here is the link to the LINQ to XSD download .

Nothing to do with Mike's fine article but does anyone else other than Steve and I find that WF doesn't work with another member of WinFX, WCF right out of the box very strange?? I understand the need to support ASMX and I am fine with that but in the last 3 years couldn't they have also integrated WF and WCF before ship for the rest of us??

Family morning at the Gentiles means the whole family watching Radiohead from 1994 while waiting for the Starbucks to come... Software Development Ayende points to this great list Nine Things Developers Want More Than Money and asks what excites you as a developer? As I said in a Retrospective last night, its not about money for me or just a job (expressed as "Build Something That Matters"). If I can't have the passion for my project, my career as a Software Architect, taking the responsibility for my own career, than I need to find something else to do because this is far from the least stressful job out there. You had better be in it because you love it and love to create and ship stuff that delights customers. Otherwise I can go weave baskets out in New Mexico... Data/OR/M/Software Architecture Jeff Palermo notes that we'll see Microsoft's OR/M soon and I can't help thinking BFD and its about time. After years of misleading developers that Stored Procs and database-driven architectures and apps were the only way , is too late? Many of us who have been doing this for a while and come out of other environments are already way ahead using Wilson OR/M, NHibernate, LBLgen and others. And everyone gushes "oh, ah, LINQ is so cool!...... I really like my friend Peter's piece Specifications are Like Object-Oriented Messages . A must-read! Avaon/WPF XamlPadX Updated!

My co-worker Steve sure will be excited by the arrivial of the first CTP BITS (as am I)! The specs were promising as I commented on. I am excited to dive into the bits now! I just looked at my installed bits and it includes an updated August 2006 document on the ADO.NET Entity Framwork as well as some samples and how to write new code. More as I play... Note: LINQ May CTP required. "ADO.NET vNext CTP" requires "Microsoft Visual Studio Code Name 'Orcas' Language-Integrated Query, May 2006 Community Technology Preview" (LINQ May 2006 CTP) to be installed. "LINQ May 2006 CTP" is available for download at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1e902c21-340c-4d13-9f04-70eb5e3dceea&displaylang=en Technorati Tags: LINQ , ADO.NET , Longhorn , Microsoft Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it!

Both the July drop of the Web Service Factory or Service BAT is out and the June SCBAT are out. I am super excited about this as it is nearing V1 and we are using both of these in production code. I have been blogging about the Service Bat since the begining . I talked about my SCBAT experiences here and that the SCBAT has helped us reduce our UI and CAB costs 5 to 1. Remember to install the the new June 2006 release of the Guidance Automation Extensions and Toolkit , first! A couple of real cool things on the Services BAT according to Tom : The installation process has been streamlined And the biggest news is that the Service Factory now has a brand new guidance package dedicated to helping you build data access layers using ADO.NET 2.0. The goal of this guidance was not to be an object-relational mapping framework or an entirely new approach to data access. Instead it's designed to take out some of the repetitive and error-prone work of creating a data access layer by hand, by helping to create some (but not all) of the key classes used in a data access layer. Most of you are probably already aware that the choice of available technologies for building data access layers will be changing significantly in the future with the advent of LINQ to ADO.NET . We're already working with these teams to start planning for these technologies, and we'll be publishing samples that show how the Service Factory guidance will look in a LINQ to ADO.NET world. I said this in all three of my recent INETA talks: PAG is the best group in Microsoft right now.

Happy Father's Day to all other Fathers! My son made me breakfast and in a letter said "I was smarter than Einstein" and "are you sure you didn't invent E = mc2 and Albert E. copied you?" -)) Data/ORM/ADO.NET 3 Ayende has been reading the docs for the ADO.Net Entities Framework and Next-Generation Data Access - June 2006 : and comes back far from impressed. Some choice comments: The problem is that I don't like this solution. The framework should be flexible enough that I could plug in at all the important points and replace the functionality with my custom one. Using two ways to acess the data has a big "Don't Do Unless You Know What You Are Doing And Have Fasted For Three Days" sign over it with red blinking lights. Oh joy! Three ORM frameworks. Linq to SQL, Linq to Dataset, Linq to Entities. This is a new record. They managed to piss me off on the very first page. The code example that they give as the desired state doesn't even make sense. Sigh. It looks like this is much about providing a mapping layer between the database and the logical model, and getting un-typed results back. I'm not excited about this at all. This is where they are putting quite a bit of emphasis. Given that they create a new language to work with the data, why not make it compatible with the way Linq work and use from-select-where ? WCF/SOA/WSE/WinFX Clemens has recorded a new episode of MSDN TV on WCF bindings Clemens weighs in on the whole WinFX vs. .NET Framework 3.0 naming mess The Indigo group has finally released the source code for the infamous Magic8Ball service C# Variance and Generalized Constraints for C# Generics .

On May 19, 2003 , I said " I have always admired Mike's ability to look at the world out there and put it all into one great post, The Daily Grind . While I can't pretend to have Mike's writing ability, I would like to start moving to something similar instead of multiple separate posts ." I still believe that today but I have not been so great about "daily" or I would have been over 500, but here I am over 3 years later with number 100! While I am still in Mike emulation mode, I would like to do something like he did for the "Tell a Friend" and contest. I don't want to blatantly copy his contest (maybe I do!) but I want to double the readership of this blogs. If you get anything out of these posts and the blog, I'd love if you told someone else to subscribe. In the meantime , I'd love to hear from you on this blog on what you think might increase readership as well as your experience. So we have today: My co-worker and pair programmer today Steve questions Microsoft’s strategy on releasing two OR/M solutions. Andres (and Frans on the comments) also question this. I agree that this is just going to confuse the developer totally when they need to use the technology. Ayende agrees that this is madness. I’d rather see a single OR/M solution based on LINQ that is extensible . Again, Andres , “ I went to TechEd Keynote today and I almost got asleep. Then Chloe appeared and it was the only excuse I had to not to leave before it finished” Have you checked out http://www.seewindowsvista.com/ ? It is a very cool way to see some amazing things that developers are doing with Vista and .NET Framework 3.0.
