One of the products that my team builds that I am most proud of is IIS 7. IIS 7 is a *major* update of our web-server stack, and introduces a significantly new and improved extensibility, configuration, and administration architecture. I've blogged about some of its features in the past here and here . Doing a major re-architecture on a mature product is never easy. Doing so on one that runs more than 40% of the web servers on the Internet is especially daunting. The final product, though, is fantastic - and delivers an incredibly flexible, scalable, and robust server architecture that is going to enable us to-do really exciting things going forward. Earlier this week we shipped the RC0 build of Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7.0. You can learn...

Windows Server 2008 RC0 is out and available to download, peeps. Burn it to a DVD, find a spare machine and have at it. It was a little confusing for me to find my way around, download, get a product key, etc, so here's what worked for me. Note that I'm not involved with that group, so this is GEEK TO GEEK. For official stuff, visit the Virtualization Team's blog . My stuff may be wrong and isn't meant to replace the docs. No warranty, your mileage may vary, no complaints taken. ;) Download Windows Server RC0 Go to the Download: Windows Server 2008 RC Site to get your Product Key . You'll be sent to a Shopping Cart looking dealie, but everything is $0. Proceed to "buy" the $0 copy and make note of your Product Key. I recommend the "Enterprise...

HUGE KUDOS to the IIS team for their hard work and innovation (technical and political) for making FastCGI a reality.) If your a developer that needs to use a CGI based platform (Like PHP) and work on Windows – then this is a godsend. They guys went into over-drive to get this ready before the upcoming Zend-Con. Here are the official particulars. Since early 2006, Microsoft and Zend have been working together on a technical collaboration with the PHP community to significantly enhance the reliability and performance of PHP on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. As part of this collaboration, the IIS product group has been working on a new component for IIS6 and IIS7 called FastCGI Extension which will enable IIS to much more effectively...

Eilon has an interesting post about using the new anonymous object initializer syntax in APIs that take dictionaries. The end result looks very much like the JSON parameterized function calls that are very common in many JavaScript frameworks, which shows once more how C# is getting many of the nice features of dynamic languages while remaining statically-typed. While I wouldn't use that just to get named parameters like those frameworks are often doing, it looks well-justified in this context because the parameter it's being used for is actually not predetermined. http://weblogs.asp.net/leftslipper/archive/2007/09/24/using-c-3-0-anonymous-types-as-dictionaries.aspx Read More...

Script# supports programming against Silverlight 1.0. You can start writing your RIA and associated components and controls in C# rather than in JavaScript... today! This series of posts will build a photo carousel one step at a time to illustrate this approach. Part 3 completes the series by adding data-binding and templating to the carousel and by querying Flickr using JSONP to fetch the actual photos to display in our photo viewer scenario. Read More...
