Silverlight Podcasts

The Official Microsoft IIS Site — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:15:58 GMT

After a short break, I’m pleased to offer up the latest Silverlight podcast. This time, the topic is accessibility – what it is, why it is important, how to do it in Silverlight and what the implications are for rich media such as video. It features Sean Hayes who is with Microsoft’s Accessibility Business Unit. I apologise for the poor audio quality - I’m afraid I screwed up when I placed the microphone in my office (too near a computer fan). I tried what I could to clean it up and there’s a transcript...( read more ) Read More......(read more)

Installing popular PHP applications like Wordpress, Joomla, SugarCRM, Moodle, Gallery and more on IIS

The Official Microsoft IIS Site — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:34:37 GMT

Today I am going to talk about installing some of the top PHP applications on IIS. The installation steps for all these applications are almost similar and you need to just sit back and relax, click few buttons and installation is done. I will cover following applications today: WORDPRESS JOOMLA GALLERY2 SILVERSTRIPE SUGARCRM MOODLE ACQUIA-DRUPAL Believe me, it is extremely easy to set up the above applications on Windows running IIS. And yes I am talking about a machine which is brand new with just OS installed. So this means all the dependencies to run these applications like PHP, IIS FastCGI, MySQL, MS SQL Server etc. will also get installed in this process. If any or all of these are already installed no problem at all. The way I am going to talk automatically figures out the missing dependencies and installs them for you. Also the installation process is supported from Windows XP to Windows 7. Any guesses what I am talking about. I am talking about Microsoft Web Platform Installer...(read more)

Stay up with your favorite IIS forum w/forum subscriptions feature @ forums.iis.net.

The Official Microsoft IIS Site — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:13:00 GMT

A majority of my geek time is spent at work, like most people. It's hard to keep up on technology coming out of Redmond. In past years, I would subscribe to several 'list-servs' on various content, then review the data when I had some extra time. It was a nice passive way to keep up on technology and pick up on some tidbits. I still do this for some technologies. With the popularity of Twitter, Facebook and other ways people are sharing information. It's not quite as easy IMO. The group I followed...( read more ) Read More......(read more)

IIS SEO Toolkit Extensibility

The Official Microsoft IIS Site — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:46:56 GMT

The IIS SEO Toolkit includes a lot of functionality built-in such as built-in violation rules, processing of different content types (like HTML, CSS, RSS, etc) and more, however it might not do all the things that you would need it to do, for example, it might not process a set of documents that you use, or it might not gather all the information that you are interested in while processing a document. The good news is that it includes enough extensibility to let you build on top of its rich capabilities...( read more ) Read More......(read more)

One question that I've been asked several times is: " Is it possible to schedule the IIS SEO Toolkit to run automatically every night? " . Other related questions are: " Can I automate the SEO Toolkit so that as part of my build process I'm able to catch regressions on my application?
