For the next few weeks, I will lead a process of studying the new(some of them become old) products and technologies of Microsoft.
I am impatience to feel the new stuff, I should admit that I have a little disappointment while on some of the stuff we should do the research earlier, but hey what can I say, it is better late than never.
So what we gonna explore:
We will start with the basic of oracle 10g and the new version of ODP.NET, of course that we will finally start using VS2005 & C#, ASP.NET (2.0), we will have a deep dive into the Team Foundation Server (TFS), maybe creating some new work-items, we will create some workshops on TDD, more workshops about UI in ASP.NET2.0 using themes skins Master Pages etc.
We will write some new rules for the FxCop.
I will also do my best to focus on the WCF VS. COM+, so we could get rid of this nightmare.
I hope that we might have time to do some other workshops with C#3.0 and WPF.
We will also test and learn the GIS-Server 9.2, We are the first to do this in Israel, and even in the whole world you can count the users on one hand.
There are also some other small issues that we will handle in our process, and I let you know the important details we learn and develop.
I would like to mention my team-mates that will help our team to find the best stuff, and bring it to you: Avi Vorzel - my team leader, Nati Dobkin, Doron Yackobi, Matan Cohen, Yossi Shmueli and Meidan Alon.
I wish luck for all of us and I am sure we gonna have a lot of fun.
If there is more stuff you think I forgot please let me know.
