April 2005 - Posts
Victor Mushkatin (AviCode) gave a presentation on Monitoring and Troubleshooting of .NET Application in Production Environment to the Connecticut .NET Developers Group on Thursday (Apr 26th).
Victor is the CTO of AviCode which makes Intercept Studio. Intercept Studio is the most powerful platform available for real-time, production-environment monitoring enterprise applications and has been nominated for a .NET Developer's Journal 2005 Readers' Choice Award. Microsoft will also ship Intercept Studio (Ops Ed) with MOM 2005. The presentation was held at Microsoft Farmington (CT) Office and was attended by ~50 attendees.
With the advent of VSTS2K5 and MSF 4 integration, there will be renewed interest in CMM-SEI. MSF Formal has been renamed to MSF for CMMI. Having worked with CMM L-4 projects, I can see the importance of it in enterprise settings. Some related blogs covering this aspect (pun intended) of development are - Rick LaPlante, David Anderson & Adam Gallant and of course, Rob Caron always has the pulse of VSTS and Software Engineering.

XML DataSource Controls in .NET 2.0 by Jesse Liberty -- With .NET 2.0's XML DataSource control, you can bind to an XML document just as easily as you bind to tables in a database. If the XML document you load is hierarchical, the data is exposed hierarchically, which makes it ideal for mapping an XML document to a TreeView control. Jesse Liberty explains how the XML DataSource works in ASP.NET.
Jesse Liberty's new book Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook is almost here (April release scheduled).

Wireless Developer Network reports that the Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform has emerged as the most predictable platform (in terms of development time).
Downloading VS2005 Beta 2 has been quite problematic for a few of us (it took me a few long-waiting tries but finally got through). MSFT can mail you the bits (free shipping in USA).
