Q&A: Group Program Manager Jane Liles talks about the enhancements now available through Service Pack 2 for the 2007 Microsoft Office system.

REDMOND, Wash. — April 28, 2009 — As part of its efforts to continually improve its products and make them more useful for customers, Microsoft periodically releases update packages known as “service packs.” Service packs deliver product updates and selected enhancements, without the complete overhaul of releasing a new version.

Today the availability of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for the 2007 Microsoft Office system was announced. The service pack includes major performance enhancements for Office applications, most notably Microsoft Office Outlook, as well as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. One big benefit is SP2’s boost to interoperability — with this release, Office supports additional built-in file formats such as PDF and ODF.

PressPass talked with Jane Liles, group program manager, Office Sustained Engineering, to discuss what customers can expect from Service Pack 2, how the improvements will provide added value, and how Microsoft is increasing its commitment to interoperability.

Software development process or how to perform 100% testing on GUI applications

If you’re still intimidated by jQuery or DOM manipulation in general, if you need to quickly build web animations, if you’re more a designer guy, if you think tooling makes sense, or a combination of the above, you should probably check out Glimmer.

In a nutshell, Glimmer is a visual tool that builds HTML animations, menus, tooltips on jQuery. It builds all the code you need (HTML, CSS and JavaScript with jQuery) at the click of a button.

In this C# project, BASIC source code is compiled to JavaScript and run in a browser.

Chris Pels shows how to add client script events to controls on an ASP.NET page. Watch this and other videos on the Learn page.

By default all the TextBox ’s (an other controls) in WPF have a default ContextMenu that allows copy, paste and cut. You can disable this menu by setting this property as “{x:Null}”, but the keys associated with the menu options still work. In order to disable this commands we can use the DataObject class, which have handlers to attach any DepencencyObject in case on Copy or Paste: DataObject .AddPastingHandler(control, this .OnCancelCommand); DataObject .AddCopyingHandler(control, this .OnCancelCommand...(read more)

When deploying ASP.NET applications to a production environment, you will most likely want to set the compilation debug attribute in web.config to false, as having debug set to true has some downsides:

• Compilation takes longer as batch optimizations are disabled
• Scripts and images from WebResources.axd will not be cached on the client
• Larger memory footprint
• Code will execute slower because of enabled debug paths

To force debug = false in all ASP.NET applications on the server, you can change the retail switch in machine.config:

<configuration>

    <system.web>

        <deployment retail="true"/>

    </system.web>

</configuration>

 

This will also disable page output trace and force custom error pages.

Hi all.

Just got this news from JetBrains. Enjoy!

 

We are excited and proud to announce that RubyMine 1.0 is generally available now.

JetBrains flagship product, IntelliJ IDEA, has always been highly praised for its web development capabilities, such as great HTML, CSS and JavaScript editing support. RubyMine inherits the best of the IntelliJ IDEA platform, adds its own amazing features for Ruby and Rails developers, and makes a perfect IDE for an easier and more productive web development with Ruby on Rails.

Our new product is no doubt a great addition to the constantly growing family of JetBrains products. We create tools for many available technologies and we have no plans to stop where we are now. This means more new products in the future and impressive updates to the existing ones. For RubyMine, the features backlog is really huge, so 1.1 release with full support for Rails 2.3 and a remote debug is the matter of few weeks.

Download RubyMine 1.0 Now! Try it for free for 30 days, and purchase the product for only $99 with free upgrades for one full year.

I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm not working or what, but I'm very seriously thinking about writing another book. Not only that, but if I do it, it will be an ASP.NET MVC book. Some have suggested to me that the space is already too crowded.

In any case, my motivation is largely the same as it was for my first book, in that I'm dissatisfied with the way things are being presented today. I don't believe most books teach new things the way that developers want to learn. My approach is that there should be some basic understanding of concepts and intent when it comes to frameworks. It's hard to really distill that philosophy into a few sentences, but a part of it is that most developers seem to be always transitioning to something new, and they want to know how to apply the use cases they encounter every day to the new thing. That's the book I want to write.

As for the publication, I'm thining strongly about self-publishing. Here's the thing, no one ever gets rich from writing a programming book, and I certainly know that from experience. They open doors, but they don't make you rich. There are many ways to look at self-publishing. On one hand, you can sell one tenth of the number of books and make the same money (assuming on-demand printing and getting listed on Amazon), but the width of your audience may not be as large. Publishers also do things like layout and copy editing, although the overhead required is why authors make so little. As is the case for a lot of people in our field, I double majored in journalism and radio/TV, and the editing for my first book was relatively minor. I think I can wing it.

So aside from wondering what people think about yet another book, I intend to post a lot of it up front for feedback, if I choose to follow through. It's the kind of adventure I really would love right now, as I miss writing. Stay tuned!
