Live Services Jumpstart

chlong — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:04:38 GMT

Spotted this on Angus Logan’s blog about deep technical training on our Live services. Get in quick as I reckon this will fill up fast. Although level 300 and beyond tends to be too deep for me, the agenda looks good. Look forward to seeing some of the results from the session. If you have something cool to show, tell us.

Where: Four Points by Sheraton Darling Harbour, 161 Sussex Street, Sydney NSW 2000

When: Dec 8-9 2008, 8:30AM-6:30PM

What? Live Services Jumpstart provides in-depth technical training sessions (level 300-400) on Microsoft’s cutting edge consumer web platform technologies that help developers / partner organizations build rich web applications, sync and share them across devices and more importantly, build audience for the web applications.

Why attend? You should attend Jumpstart to learn all there is to know about the consumer components of Microsoft’s ‘Software + Services’ platform.

Windows Live has Renewed Focus on Software + Services

chlong — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 15:53:41 GMT

I missed this external Q&A with Chris Jones (Corp VP seen above who heads up the Live Experience Program Management group) up on Microsoft PressPass: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2007/jun07/06-26windowslive.mspx.

The Q&A includes answers to:

Why is now the right time for a solution like Windows Live?
How does the next phase of Windows Live help address today’s customer needs?
What else is Microsoft announcing today? Windows Live Photo Gallery beta and Windows Live Folders beta
You talk a lot about a “software plus services” strategy. What does that mean and how does it apply to what you’re talking about today?
What can we expect further down the road from Windows Live?
