Understanding
Windows Server 2008 Networking and Network Access Protection Chat:

Join our experts and ask your
pressing questions about key networking features and roles, like Network Access
Protection, in Windows Server 2008. Take this opportunity to learn more about
how you can implement new network features like auto-tuning and the support for
the latest in network acceleration and hardware offload technologies, as well
as how to centrally manage network utilization with the new Quality of Service
(QoS) Group Policies. This chat also covers the concept of policy-driven
network access and illustrates how you can use the solutions Microsoft provides
in Windows Server 2008 (like Network Access Protection), and share your ideas
and provide feedback.

TechNet Webcast: Windows Server 2008:  Lessons Learned in a
Real-World Network Access Protection Deployment (Level 300):

In this session on
Windows Server 2008, we discuss the drivers, challenges, and lessons learned
during the Louisiana State University (LSU) Network Access Protection (NAP)
deployment. We cover topics including 802.1x and DHCP enforcement methods and
integration with the existing physical network and the Active Directory
directory service. We also discuss challenges encountered during the
deployment, such as integration in a heterogeneous environment and managing
policy exceptions. This webcast can help prepare IT professionals who are
considering deploying NAP in large, complex enterprise environments.

Friday July 20, 2007 8:00 am Pacific Time (SEA

Abstract
University of Waterloo
A good programming language is far more than a simple collection of features. My
ideal is to provide a set of facilities that smoothly work together to support
design and programming styles of a generality beyond my imagination. Here, I
briefly outline rules of thumb (guidelines, principles) that are being applied
in the design of C++0x. Then, I present the state of the standards process (we
are aiming for C++09) and give examples of a few of the proposals such as
concepts, generalized initialization, being considered in the ISO C++ standards
committee. Since there are far more proposals than could be presented in an
hour, I’ll take questions.

University of Toronto
One of the major goals of the language part of C++0x is to provide better
support for generic programming. I see that as a key to both better library
development and to better support of “C++ novices” of all backgrounds. The focus
of the talk will be the proposals currently being finalized in the standards
committee, such as concepts, generalized initialization, auto, template aliases.
The aim is to consider such features as a whole supporting programming
techniques, rather that as just a collection of neat features to be considered
one after another.

Online talks about C++0x

 Herb Sutter had a list of online talks about C++0x on his blog entry here. Here are they, and enjoy them if you can actually understand it. *Hehe*

There are quite a lot of improvements to the new C++0x specifications, and what is shown in the talks are just the crust of what has changed.

CTTDNUG June 2007 Meeting

Jun 262007
 

Presenting: Bruce Johnson -
Object Sharp Consulting Inc.

Will
Silverlight Change the World?

There is
no question that Silverlight is one of the hottest technologies out of
Microsoft in quite a while. But as it is with most hyped products, there are
elements of truth and not-so-truth to the marketing story. In this
presentation, we take a closer look at Silverlight. We will talk not only about
what is currently available but also what is expected in the next release. But
most of all, we will look at some of the capabilities and drawbacks of using
Silverlight and the appropriate Expression products. This includes an
evaluation of some of the demo applications, and also the creation of a simple
Silverlight application.

And no,
Silverlight won’t change the world. It’s just a piece of software. Geesh ;)

Special
Thanks
go out to Ian Martin for sponsoring the
meeting and picking up the tab for the refreshments tonight!!.

Agenda
June 27th
6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.   Pizza and Pop and Networking

Just Released: Visual Studio Team Foundation Server – Project Server 2007 Connector

 Development  No Responses »
Jun 192007
 

We are pleased to announce the release of Visual Studio
Team Foundation Server – Project Server 2007 Connector which is available at http://www.codeplex.com/pstfsconnector.

OVERVIEW

The Visual Studio Team Foundation Server – Project
Server 2007 Connector is designed to integrate the project management
capabilities of TFS with Project Server 2007. It’s been developed by the
Visual Studio Team System Rangers in response to significant customer demand
for a connector solution. Future versions of Team System will have native
integration with Project Server, in the meantime this Connector solution is
the best way to integrate the two Microsoft products. This solution builds on
the previous PS2003 VSTS Connector, published on GotDotNet. This solution is
intended to provide guidance, provided as source code that can be used
“as is,” extended, or modified.

BACKGROUND

Microsoft® Office Project Server 2007 and Microsoft
Visual Studio® 2005 Team Foundation Server (TFS) are two powerful
applications that are each used in different ways for management of software
development projects. Up-to-date project information requires a seamless
integration between the development environment and the project management
tool.

Managing projects, resources, and related information
for an entire enterprise requires a holistic view and integration of project
management data with the software development lifecycle. The Enterprise
Project Management (EPM) solution with Microsoft Office Project Server 2007
can help organizations effectively manage and coordinate people, projects,
and processes. The Microsoft EPM solution provides tools for strong
coordination and standardization between projects and project managers,
centralized resource management, and high-level reporting on projects and
resources. Through familiar tools and ease of integration with a broad range
of programs in the Microsoft Office System, the EPM solution promotes broad
participation for greater accuracy, accountability, and acceptance.

Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) provides a solution
for software development teams that integrates designing, developing,
testing, and managing a project. TFS integrates with Microsoft Office Project
Standard 2007 and Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007 for desktop use
and allows project managers to plan and manage projects on a local computer.
However, because there is no integration with Project Server, the project
data for each team is available only in a stand-alone plan. There is no
simple way to aggregate project data across multiple projects.

The Connector synchronizes Project, Resource and Task
data between the two systems. Project Managers and Resource Managers continue
to work in the EPM environment while the development team works in the
development environment, i.e. TFS, and data seamlessly flows between the two
systems. Updates to work items in TFS are automatically applied to the
corresponding assignments and tasks in Project Server and vice versa. Project
Managers have complete control over the inflow of the actuals into the project
plan. In addition, resource management functions for all development
projects, like managing time and utilization for resources working across
multiple projects, team staffing etc. can be performed in Project Server.
Lastly, portfolio and program level reports can easily be generated for
projects being executed in TFS and managed in Project Server.

There isn’t really anything interesting in this week’s new downloads. Here are the few interesting ones that caught my eye.

Nothing quite interesting happening there. I’m still finding time to try out Acropolis.
