Groove Developer Survey

All right folks!  I am putting together a Groove Developer Survey. It'll be for Groove Developers only, i.e., developers of Groove tools & services using .NET (C#/VB.NET, etc), C++, Delphi, JScript (aka JavaScript), etc. and also including the Groove FORMS tool. The FORMS tool certainly counts here as it's used quite profusely and has tremendous potential for growth & for improvements also :)

This survey will be open to all (Groove partners, Groove employees et al) and survey responses will be confidential (individuals will not be identified). The survey results & analysis will be openly published & free. 

What I'd like from you  is - what type of questions should be included in this Survey? Please email me your suggestions (esb_us@yahoo.com) or via Groove IM or post them as feedbacks here...

I'll consolidate your suggested questions and post the web survey (in another website) in about 2 weeks. Keep in mind that this survey is independent of Groove Networks and I think this survey project will benefit all Groove developers (& users).

THANK YOU!

New CLR Profiler (v2.0) is out...
The new CLR Profiler (v2.0) is out... It gives insights into the GC, call graphs, heap state and also logs the entire profile process. You can profile apps, services and ASP.NET pages with it.
Open So(u)r(c)e - a dirty little secret?
Jon Udell [InfoWorld 10.24.03] has an eye-opening piece regarding Open Source's dirty little secret. It reminds me of Economics Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman's famous statement - 'There's No Such Thing As a Free Lunch'.

ISO image to CD-drive converter utility - where is it please?

I think I saw a posting here recently that converts a ISO image into a 'drive'. It was a reference to a utility that's available somewhere....Anyone know where it came from? Thanks.

MS Office 2003 Product Launch & Groove's integration to it

This week was eventful - Microsoft launched the much-awaited Office 2003. I attended the launch event at the Hartford Civic Center and saw presentations (Developer track) on how to develop and integrate applications with the new beast. Also in the same arena are the new features in Groove that dovetails with the new MS Office 2003, SharePoint and InfoPath - read a small tech note about it in Maestro Hugh's blog posting.

Making Microsoft Office 2003 mobile with Groove

 From a Groove press release - "The integration between Groove and the Microsoft Office System allows individuals to collaborate naturally, even when working across time, company or geographic boundaries. It also further demonstrates Microsoft's commitment to empowering information workers with great software." Kurt DelBene, vice president of Authoring and Collaboration Services at Microsoft Corp.

Network Programming for the MS .NET Framework

Two days ago I received the Professional .NET Network Programming book via mail and last night at the Conn .NET Developer Group meeting I won a book raffle - Network Programming for the MS .NET Framework! It'll be a busy week-end :-)..

Web Services Security & Monitoring presentation (Service Integrity)
Last night, at the Conn .NET Developer Group meeting, Service Integrity made a presentation regarding Web Services Security (using SSL) and also demonstrated SIFT which is a Web Services Monitoring and Analysis tool. This tool, based on the .NET platform, can extract (programmatically) content from the web services transactions in real-time!

Submerging technologies
What's sinking and what's swimming? According to ComputerWorld [10.20.03] - Windows 9x and Visual Basic are going out amongst others. "VB 6 is the dinosaur of old. There's tons of legacy code out there, but no self-respecting developer wants to go there anymore".
