  Of course the huge news everywhere is that Bill Gates is stepping down at Microsoft. Its truly the end of an era. WCF/SOA Clemens has posted the sample code from his TechEd session about selecting WCF bindings CLR My buddy Jason continues to take over as "Godfather of the CLR" with his most excellent series on Obfuscation , this time on String Encryption . However, the word on the street is that a certain retired Godfather may be coming back and regaining his territories in points further south -) Agile I am really excited about Jim Shore's new book on Extreme Programming . I am excited about two things in TAAD; one, mainstream practical and two, pure XP and not diluted Agile He has posted the first section on Pair Programming online for review Espresso Fueled Development comments on how he Talks About Agile Visual Studio/Team System I am thrilled to see Sara Ford post the Power Toys for Visual Studio FY07 Goals and the use of SCRUM for fast releases. I really loved the VS2003 toys but they are so like three years ago-) and having used solely Whidbey the past 1.5 - 2 years, I would love to see VS2005 toys Rob Caron reports that, " Michael Ruminer launched a project on CodePlex to develop a version control tree browser for Team Foundation Version Control ( TFS Source Code Version Tree Browser ). See more on his blog. Korby (BTW, thanks for your phone call but I didn't make it to TechEd!), speaks of Martin Woodward of Teamprise , who explains how to set up CI for CodePlex projects using CruiseControl.NET.

• New and Notable 100! The Big 100!

  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. [via Brad ] The Indigo group has released the " Windows Communication Foun dation RSS Toolkit " on the new community site . This toolkit, which comes with complete source code, illustrates how to expose ATOM and RSS feeds through WCF endpoints SCBAT has been upgraded to a new, soon to be released version of GAT and GAX Craig announces msdnman Microsoft is preparing a third IE 7 Read More...
