Una delle attività più interessanti che mi è capitato di seguire negli ultimi mesi è collegata alla revisione architetturale che Yoox Group ha avviato sui suoi servizi e siti Internet. YOOX Group è il partner globale di Internet retail per i principali brand di moda & design: l’unica azienda di retail su Internet sia multimarca – con la boutique virtuale YOOX.COM , sia monomarca – con i flagship store online sviluppati da YOOX Services. Nato nel 2000

At last, the new version of WSSF was released tomorrow morning: http://www.codeplex.com/servicefactory/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=8130 I just saw a presentation on it during the P&P Summit and really like the easy of use and extensibility.

Found these interesting entries today: MOSS Training http://rshelton.com/archive/2007/10/05/sharepoint-document-workflow-with-visual-studio-workshop-documents-download.aspx Editor for Software Factories code templates http://blogs.msdn.com/pedrosilva/archive/2007/10/18/t4-editor-beta-released.aspx Software Factories http://blogs.msdn.com/jezzsa/archive/2007/10/18/building-software-factories-series.aspx TSF 2008 hardware recommendations http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2007/10/18/tfs-2008-system-recommendations.aspx

I get asked by customer about how they can learn from the new features in VS.NET 2008 (Orcas). The simple answer is download the VPC and try it out. But the download part is not as easy as it can be. Brian Keller put together a group of recommendations for this: http://blogs.msdn.com/briankel/archive/2007/09/06/a-more-reliable-and-faster-download-experience-for-rosario-vs08-vpc-s.aspx Enjoy !

If you wonder about recommendations and best practices on how to integrate .NET apps with MOM 2007, this content will be fairly important: http://www.codeplex.com/dfo There you will find extensive documentation and even designers that make it easier to monitor apps

Well, I am back after some holidays and it is nice to encounter some important developments happened. First of all, Ent Lib 3.0 is released: http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2007/04/05/just-released-enterprise-library-3-0-april-2007.aspx Since we are making an architecture project using WCF, the integration between Ent Lib 3.0 and WCF is a blessing. Second, there is the first community drop of the new Service Factory: http://blogs.msdn.com/donsmith/archive/2007/04/06/first-service-factory-v3-community-drop.aspx
