This sample application is designed to demonstrate how you can develop a connected application using several new Microsoft technologies, including: IIS7, ASP.NET Ajax Extensions, Linq, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Powershell, and the .NET Compact Framework.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px" alt="dinnernow_logo.png" src="http://www.codeplex.com/DinnerNow/Project/FileDownload.aspx?DownloadId=6227" align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="The DinnerNow.net 1.3 release" href="http://www.codeplex.com/DinnerNow/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4602" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;The DinnerNow.net 1.3 release&lt;/a&gt; contains some significant enhancements and several bug fixes.&amp;nbsp;Version 1.3 utilizes the .NET Framework 3.0 and it has been tested on both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (Longhorn) Beta 3.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some of the new features in version 1.3 include:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;New Service Portfolio. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The "Service Portfolio" is the code that consists of the services, data access, workflow, and business logic for the scenario. &amp;nbsp;It has been completely rewritten.  &lt;li&gt;Unit tests for the entire service portfolio  &lt;li&gt;Documentation for the service portfolio that was generated from the C# source code using SandCastle  &lt;li&gt;New mobile device application that can connect to the host services and update orders  &lt;li&gt;Support for the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional SDK  &lt;li&gt;Updated walkthrough document that includes information about the Windows Mobile components  &lt;li&gt;Extended Verification (EV) cert for the DinnerNow.net site  &lt;li&gt;Support for user specified installation paths. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We have removed the requirement to install the sample at c:\DinnerNow&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;In addition to version 1.3, we are also releasing a version of DinnerNow.net that has been developed againist &lt;a title="Visual Studio &amp;quot;Orcas&amp;quot; and the .NET Framework 3.5 beta 1" href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700831.aspx" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Visual Studio "Orcas" and the .NET Framework 3.5 beta 1&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This version takes advantage of new Orcas features including:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Language Integrated Query for .NET (LINQ) and LINQ-to-SQL  &lt;li&gt;Workflow Services (codenamed "Silver")  &lt;li&gt;WCF RSS services &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are a few known issues with the 1.0 Orcas version. &amp;nbsp;Please review the DinnerNow.net Orcas v1.0 (for Orcas beta 1) – &lt;a title="Known Issues document" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$Content$ProjectBaseMain$ProjectMain$ReleaseFiles$FileList$ctl07$FileNameLink','')" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Known Issues document&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, we have also released five new hands-on labs for Orcas beta 1. &amp;nbsp;These labs are based on the DinnerNow.net scenario, however, you do *NOT* need to have the DinnerNow.net sample application installed in order to use them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Get all of the above from &lt;a title="here" href="http://www.codeplex.com/DinnerNow/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4602" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the CodePlex DinnerNow.net site!&lt;/p&gt;

at &lt;a title="TechEd US" href="http://www.microsoft.com/events/teched2007/default.mspx" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;TechEd US&lt;/a&gt;. But in a couple of hours TechEd US will be officially kicked-off with&amp;nbsp;the opening&amp;nbsp;keynote of Bob Muglia and the breakout sessions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I won't be attending TechEd US this year, but as&amp;nbsp;the track owner for all web content at &lt;a title="TechEd: Developers" href="http://www.mseventseurope.com/teched/07/developers/Pages/Default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;TechEd: Developers&lt;/a&gt; in Barcelona later this year, I'll be following closely the announcements and sessions delivered in Orlando. Especially the web track of course but also watch out the other sessions for some new announcements!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you're not in Orlando you might want to check out the site &lt;a title="Virtual TechEd" href="http://www.virtualteched.com/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Virtual TechEd&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as you will be able to watch some live sessions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.virtualteched.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Microsoft Virtual Tech·Ed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; extends Tech·Ed to an always-on, year-round, online experience! You’ll be able to access many resources, including live simulcasts of Monday’s Keynote and the top 20+ breakout session, plus on-demand recordings of on-site interviews, sessions, podcasts, and much more.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's good to see that the Virtual TechEd site uses &lt;a title="Silverlight streaming" href="http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/streaming.aspx" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Silverlight streaming&lt;/a&gt; for delivering the videos. The TechEd: Developers home page is still built in Adobe Flash. But last week I learned that&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;event team&amp;nbsp;is planning to rework the site using Silverlight too. Looking forward to that ... :-)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:a00bd7d7-798d-422c-b06c-604e152b623c" contenteditable="false" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;Technorati tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/TechEd%20US" rel="tag"&gt;TechEd US&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Virtual%20TechEd" rel="tag"&gt;Virtual TechEd&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3074112" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/ISV+Community/default.aspx">ISV Community</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/Developer+Community/default.aspx">Developer Community</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/Silverlight/default.aspx">Silverlight</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/TechEd+Developers+2007/default.aspx">TechEd Developers 2007</category></item><item><title>I started reading "Inside Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007"!</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/2007/05/31/i-started-reading-inside-microsoft-office-sharepoint-server-2007.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 31 May 2007 22:27:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3011888</guid><dc:creator>David Boschmans</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/comments/3011888.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/commentrss.aspx?PostID=3011888</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=3011888</wfw:comment><description>&lt;p&gt;Towards the end of last year &lt;a title="Patrick Tisseghem" href="http://blog.u2u.info/DottextWeb/patrick/" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Patrick Tisseghem&lt;/a&gt; started writing a book on &lt;a title="Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007" href="http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/10472.aspx" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007&lt;/a&gt;. Patrick did a great job writing this book while traveling the world and delivering day-in day-out sessions on MOSS2007. The good news is that since last week &lt;a title="the book is out" href="http://www.u2u.info/Blogs/Patrick/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=1734" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;the book is out&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I &lt;a title="pre-ordered the book" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735623686/sr=1-1/qid=1156801743/ref=sr_1_1/104-6313703-3867159?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;pre-ordered the book&lt;/a&gt; two months ago and today I recieved my copy. While I haven't had the time to dive into the book, it is&amp;nbsp;cool to see that&amp;nbsp;one of our Belgian SharePoint experts and MVPs wrote an MS Press book on MOSS 2007.

Forrester's product-based evaluation of 11 leading SCCM solutions across 123 criteria revealed that IBM is the front-runner in SCCM but that Subversion is the sole Leader in standalone software configuration management (SCM). Serena Dimensions comes close to IBM on current SCCM capabilities but has a less compelling product road map. Borland Software and MKS have well-rounded offerings, but neither stands out in the crowd; in contrast, Telelogic and CA both have strong appeal to narrower audiences. Microsoft's solution has matured considerably since our last evaluation and is well positioned to capture additional market share. Perforce and AccuRev are both Contenders in SCCM but Strong Performers in terms of standalone SCM; both are better in conjunction with separate change management solutions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Microsoft has recieved permission from&amp;nbsp;Forrester Research&amp;nbsp;to distribute the report.

Surface, Microsoft’s first surface computer, provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface computing breaks down traditional barriers between people and technology, changing the way people interact with all kinds of everyday information — from photos to maps to menus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So what is it?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Microsoft Surface™, the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft Corp., turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that’s easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. In essence, it’s a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail establishments and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/davbosch/WindowsLiveWriter/IntroducingMicrosoftSurface_8D21/image_2.png" atomicselection="true"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="164" alt="image" src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/davbosch/WindowsLiveWriter/IntroducingMicrosoftSurface_8D21/image_thumb_1.png" width="640" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and the result is displayed on the surface using rear projection. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Looking at the videos on the &lt;a title="Microsoft Surface web site" href="http://www.microsoft.com/surface/" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Microsoft Surface web site&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;I can think how a surface computer will change the way people will interact and experience content. Looking forward to a new way of interaction with digital content!  &lt;p&gt;More information on Microsoft Surface is available from:  &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title="Microsoft Surface" href="http://www.microsoft.com/surface/" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Microsoft Surface&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title="Microsoft Surface Virtual Pressroom" href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/surfacecomputing/default.mspx" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Microsoft Surface Virtual Pressroom&lt;/a&gt;:  &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title="Microsoft Surface Fact Sheet" href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/surfacecomputing/docs/MSSurfaceFS.doc" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Microsoft Surface Fact Sheet&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title="Microsoft Surface FAQ" href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/surfacecomputing/docs/MSSurfaceFAQ.doc" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Microsoft Surface FAQ&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title="Microsoft Surface History" href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/surfacecomputing/docs/SurfaceHistoryBG.doc" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Microsoft Surface History&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Update:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; On &lt;a title="on10.net" href="http://on10.net/" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;on10.net&lt;/a&gt; Larry Larsen posted a video on Microsoft Surface: "&lt;a title="First Look: Microsoft Surfacing Computing!" href="http://on10.net/Blogs/larry/first-look-microsoft-surfacing-computing/" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;First Look: Microsoft Surfacing Computing!&lt;/a&gt;".

While most developers are aware of the importance of designing and testing for security in their applications, few of them are aware of the unique security implications of AJAX technologies. AJAX fundamentally changes the user experience and server interactions in Web applications, so developers may be taking otherwise secure applications and opening up new angles of attack for hackers by hastily adopting these new approaches without understanding their vulnerabilities.&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This talk will discuss and demonstrate the security pitfalls common in ASP.NET AJAX development and is based on experiences while analyzing real world ASP.NET AJAX applications.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;This promises to be an interesting session, especially with the buzz on developing AJAX enabled web applications these days. A lot of web developers don't realize about the security&amp;nbsp;implications when using AJAX. Erwin has&amp;nbsp;gained a lot of experience in this domain by testing real life applications&amp;nbsp;on security risks.&amp;nbsp;  &lt;p&gt;Session details:  &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Speaker: &lt;a title="Erwin Geirnaert" href="http://erwingeirnaert.blogspot.com" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Erwin Geirnaert&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="ZION Security" href="http://www.zionsecurity.com/" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;ZION Security&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Level: 300 (advanced)  &lt;li&gt;Prerequisites: knowledge about ASP.NET development and ASP.NET AJAX concepts  &lt;li&gt;Location: Utopolis, Mechelen  &lt;li&gt;Date: 6 June 2007, 18:30 – 20:30 (Registration open at 18:15)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Register Online" href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032340308&amp;amp;Culture=en-US" target="_blank" rel="tag"&gt;Register online&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;via the MSDN Belux web site.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:935381ab-d451-43f2-b9b5-aa3b01e9f852" contenteditable="false" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;Technorati tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/AJAX" rel="tag"&gt;AJAX&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Security" rel="tag"&gt;Security&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/ASP.NET%20AJAX" rel="tag"&gt;ASP.NET AJAX&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2822582" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/ISV+Community/default.aspx">ISV Community</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/Developer+Community/default.aspx">Developer Community</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/Web+Development/default.aspx">Web Development</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch/archive/tags/Microsoft+AJAX/default.aspx">Microsoft AJAX</category></item></channel></rss>
