I've been working with the patterns & practices group on the "Design for Operations" initiative, and dnrTV episode 100 (up today) covers the Team System Management Model Designer that we're going to be releasing as a CTP within then next week or so...
A couple of people have asked about Hands-On-Labs for EntLib (aka "Enterprise Library of Application Blocks"), so I asked Tom Hollander who replied with: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B9BFF619-236C-4BBB-9AA1-2E7BC562C7F5&displaylang...
I'm the host (the TechEd schedule says "speaker" <sigh>) for "Migrating VB6 to VB.NET" at TechEd on Tuesday night from 6:30 to 7:30 . Of course, we're going to talk about migrating applications , not the VB product itself... One of the things I...
