Web Cast recordings and Q&A

About: This post provides the links to my 'Using Visual Studio for deployment modeling' and 'Tracking the life of a business requirement' Web Cast

Hello,

Thank you to everyone who attended the web casts that I conducted recently and provided feedback, the questions asked during these web casts revolved around:

1) What is the difference between the various versions and flavors of the Visual Studio?

2) How do I upgrade my .NET 1.1 applications to .NET 2.0?

I will post detailed answers to both of these questions separately within this week. I feel that both of them merit presentation of information in a manner that clarifies the confusion surrounding these issues and answer the question from different angles. I am drawing some pictures and writing text that will hopefully address the concerns expressed during the web casts.

For those of you who did not attend the live web casts, you can find the recordings of the Web Casts at:

1) Using Visual Studio for Deployment modeling - http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032287465&Culture=en-US

The new modeling features in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 can help you to validate application deployment scenarios by defining a logical data center. This Web Cast provides an overview of the new modeling features and a demonstration of the deployment modeling capability that is designed to improve and automate the interaction between development, infrastructure, and operations teams. The intended audience for this Web Cast includes solution architects, infrastructure architects, and developers.

2) Tracking the life of a business requirement - http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032287471&Culture=en-US

This Web Cast demonstrates the new integration capabilities between Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Project, and Microsoft Visual Studio. We track a business requirement from its definition in Excel to its completion in Visual Studio, so you can see how the new integration capabilities work on a practical level. The intended audience for this Web Cast includes architects, business analysts, and project managers.

Best regards,
