Microsoft contributing to Open Source

jorkeo — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:21:22 GMT

This is why I love working for Microsoft - as Nick Hodge often says "This is not your fathers Microsoft";

Sam Ramji Keynoted at Oscon about 3 very cool things:

In short we've submitted code to the ADOdb DAL library to add support for our PHP SQL driver - AND under a Free Software Foundation license. Of course this helps people deploy onto our platform and but most of all helps those developers using PHP applications with DAL to easily have choice between which platform they wish to deploy on.

On top of that we're now part of the Apache Software Foundation and we're part of the Communications Protocol Program under the Open Specification Promise (OSP)

MSExperts.org - a blog for.. er.. MS Experts

jorkeo — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 03:54:43 GMT

Cam told me about this blog a little ago and I've been following it so see what they're up to. I quite like the slogan - memoirs of a goldfish - make sure you blog it before you forget it forever.. although according to wikipedia - the myth of a goldfish having a 3 second memory is false..

There is really great quality posts there that address problems that a bunch of IT professionals run into every day of the week.

Check out some of the posts by Mark Rhodes - cracking good stuff for SharePoint.
