Announcing the Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map Version 2
The Office Developer Documentation group, the Developer Platform Evangelism group, the Office Business Applications group, and the MSDN Labs team are very pleased to announce the release of the Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map Version 2!
The Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map is a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application that helps developers visualize the different programs, servers, services, and tools that will help them build solutions. It allows them to drill down to each product and technology and learn about new features, objects, Web services, namespaces, and schemas required to extend Microsoft Office and build custom Office Business Applications (OBAs). This application also includes links and pointers to relevant online resources available on Office Online, MSDN, TechNet, Channel 9, Channel 10, and OBA Central.
What’s New in the Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map Version 2?
- Update to more than 200 links to MSDN portal pages, MSDN articles, MSDN reference documentation, blog posts, RSS feeds, and community resources.
- New products and technologies such as:
- Office Development in Visual Studio 2008
- PerformancePoint Server 2007
- Unified Communications
- User interface improvements:
- Top 2007 Office system Web sites toolbar
- Scaling and scrolling to varying resolutions
- Crisp graphics
Availability
We released this new version of the Developer Map at the Office Developer Conference 2008 held last week in San Jose, CA. The application was showcased in various demo booths, and all attendees received a poster version of the Office Developer Roadmap.
You can now download the map from the MSDN Office Developer Center at http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/devmap. Enjoy!
We will also publish a video demo that shows how to use the map. Look for a link to the video to be posted on the Office Dev Center soon.
