I told them I think it would be nice to have the option to boot into Windows XP,so hands-on labs using VS.Net could be taught, even if it wasn't public knowlege of everyone in the department or available to everyone on a regualr basis, just having the option available from time to time would be a great resource to have. Their reply to this was, &#8220;It's not gonna happen. No way!&#8221;. Even though there is pleanty of space on the hardware there is no possible way it will be approved. They said it's a game of politics and some of the decision makers for the lab will not let any MS products be installed. I just think this is BS and if the department has the ability to provide a resource to its students, I think it should almost be obligated to do so in order to futher the students applicable knowlege.</P><img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=29058" width="1" height="1">Random Thoughtshttp://weblogs.asp.net/emaino/archive/2003/09/19/28358.aspxSat, 20 Sep 2003 01:28:00 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:28358emaino3http://weblogs.asp.net/emaino/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=28358http://weblogs.asp.net/emaino/archive/2003/09/19/28358.aspx#comments<P>I will soon be developing an application utilizing the .Net Framework and I was just wonder if anyone has any input. </P> <P>This application will be developed primarily in C# and its goal is to be a modular program. I would like to develop a program that then can have add-in modules, one of these add-in modules will perform the duties that the original conceptual program was supposed to and even more. Then other add-in modules could be developed to make the overall application more robust and scalable.</P> <P>If anyone has any thoughts about how to go about this or any good articles, I would be most appreciative.</P><img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=28358" width="1" height="1">Random Thoughtshttp://weblogs.asp.net/emaino/archive/2003/09/18/28176.aspxThu, 18 Sep 2003 19:01:00 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:28176emaino2http://weblogs.asp.net/emaino/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=28176http://weblogs.asp.net/emaino/archive/2003/09/18/28176.aspx#comments<P>I was recently given the opportunity to become a Microsoft Student Ambassador for <A href="http://www.gvsu.edu/">Grand Valley State University </A>and I graciously accepted the postion. Since this time I have been really ramping up on .Net and its surrounding technologies. I am expecting to get the .Net Users Group started on campus very shortly to help promote <A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanchor/html/netdevanchor.asp">.Net</A> and to help students prepare for some really cool jobs.</P> <P>I will continue to update on a regular basis... Stay Tuned!</P><img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=28176" width="1" height="1">Random Thoughts
