Let’s get this blog started again…

A few people have sent me email over the summer about my blog: “hey – does your blog still work?”, “did it move somewhere else?”, “did you die?”.  To provide a few quick answers: my blog does still work, it didn’t move anywhere, and I am not dead.  :-)

I fell behind on blogging mostly because I’ve been working pretty hard the last few months on a few new products that I haven’t previously been involved in.  In particular, I’ve been focusing a lot of time on Windows Azure – which is our cloud computing platform – as well as on some additional server products, frameworks and tools.  I’ll be blogging a lot more about them in the future. 

To kick-start my blog again, though, I thought I’d start a new blog series that covers some cool new ASP.NET and Visual Studio features that my team has been working on this summer.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Glad to see you're back, if you can, please post about jQuery templating and data-binding support? When you're going to release it ? Are you going to support it in the future, or everything depends on community feedback while using beta version? That's a cool stuff, especially for those who stuck with ASP.NET Web Forms.

Cheers,

Great to see some more ScottGu action. I've always been amazed at how much information and time you can provide to the community with such a demanding job. Thanks for all the effort.

Great! I'm very glad that you're still alive :)

Really missed your posts.

I'm also hope to hear about Silverlight\Client stuff from you (not only about web).

@marvel he already did... do a search and if you get board try knockoutjs

@scottgu It appears as though you yourself didn't move to the Cloud as much as the progression of the web nudged you there (as far as MS Business Strategy goes).  Also, where on earth are your Azure commercials?  The avg. Business Manager needs to see a commercial that explains what it is,"why" it's secure, and why it's so valuable for high-transactional applications.  We devs get it, we really do, but our managers with the money don't.

A few new server products? Please let this list include a true ESB product (something like NeuronESB) and a more enterprise-capable queueing product (offering pub-sub capabilities etc.)

# re: Let’s get this blog started again…

Yes, and remember among Scott's many projects at work there was the minor detail of a new baby to contend with!

@Richard,

>>>>>> A few new server products? Please let this list include a true ESB product (something like NeuronESB) and a more enterprise-capable queueing product (offering pub-sub capabilities etc.)

Yes - my team is working on one of those.  We call it Service Bus and I'll be blogging a lot more about it in the months ahead.

Thanks,

Scott

Great news. Am hoping the Service Bus product will be able to operate with/without the Cloud/Azzure. E.g. nServiceBus, NeuronESB. Very excited to hear your team is working on this!

Thanks,

Richard
