We are pleased to announce the availability of the Microsoft Office 2010 Developer Map. Whether you are new to developing with Microsoft Exchange, or a seasoned veteran, this map will guide you through the tools, applications, platforms, and services you can use to develop your application. The interactive map is a living document that provides links to MSDN Library documentation. You can also download the poster and print it out to hang on your wall.
Start visualizing the applications, services like Exchange Online, client/server data-access technologies like Exchange Web Services, on-premise servers, platform products and technologies, and tools that can help you build multiple line-of-business solutions.

Microsoft Exchange Online as part of Microsoft Office 365 provides many of the same app-development capabilities that are available for Microsoft Exchange Server running on-site. The Exchange Developer Documentation team is pleased to announce the release of a new Exchange Online Developer Center page that will be your portal for information about Exchange Online development.
If you’re not quite up to the rock-star level as an Exchange programmer, or if Exchange Online is the only flavor of Exchange you’ve ever known, this is the place for you! And even if you’re already an experienced Exchange developer, we want to make it really easy to use that Exchange knowledge as you create apps for the Cloud.
Along with the new Exchange Online page, we have an article to help you get started writing apps that use Exchange Web Services (EWS) and EWS Managed API. This article explains the important first steps to get things running smoothly and quickly.
We have more articles coming in the near future, including one about configuring and using Exchange Autodiscover, so come back to the site often to find new information. We plan to provide great information for programming with Exchange Online for all types of developers, from experienced corporate and ISV developers to total newbies.
A bunch of articles, of course, can’t tell the whole story. As the Office 365 Beta progresses, and as the service officially becomes available, we’ll continue posting articles, blog posts, podcasts, and even videos. Because we know you’ll have questions, the writing team will also be helping out in the forums.
We look forward to hearing from you more than ever, and to helping your Exchange development projects succeed.
Best regards to our new and current readers,

The Exchange Interoperability Team is excited to announce the initial release of the Microsoft Exchange RPC Extractor (RPX). RPX is a command-line tool that can parse network captures and interpret remote procedure calls (RPCs) made from a client to Microsoft Exchange Server. RPX uses the information provided in the Microsoft Exchange Server protocol documentation to parse RPCs, remote operations (ROPs) and the parameters for each ROP.
The goal for RPX is to assist developers who are implementing the Microsoft Exchange protocols by allowing them to view and compare the RPC traffic between clients and servers. Network capture files are transformed into text files that detail RPC requests and responses, including parameters and return codes.
If you are working with the Microsoft Exchange protocols, follow the link below to download RPX today and try it out!
