Managed World

Welcome everybody to the inaugural, first ever, grand opening, “opening the doors to the public” celebration day kick-off for the new “Developer, Meet Server” screencast series. I am your sincere, humble (as ever), gracious and wonderful host/chef/tour guide Jason Olson.

In this series of screencasts we will be diving through all the various cool developer-oriented enhancements on the Windows Server "Longhorn" platform that developers can leverage to build robust and powerful applications. Specifically, in this first screencast, we will take a quick peek at Transactional NTFS. In future screencasts, we will go into a more detailed look at Transactional NTFS, so think of this as a quick introduction.

The screencast can be found in one of the main tubes on the Intarw3b known as the ever-lovely Channel 9: http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=289816.  

So sit back, grab a cup of coffee/tea/InsertYourFavoriteLocalTastyBeverageHere, and enjoy this screencast.

Rory is doing some videos at Channel 9 on the Microsoft Research TechFest event happening at Microsoft this week. If you want to see how Microsoft's own version of Area 51 is shaping and changing the future of technology, you should ABSOLUTELY watch these videos.

The first video has just been released: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=288554.

There is a lot of cool stuff coming out of Microsoft Research. Even Google won't stand up to some of these technologies :). We shall prevail :P. It's important to realize that Microsoft is filled with geeks just like you. We want to create cool stuff that changes the world. And what better way to emphasize that than taking a dive into Microsoft Research :).

Enjoy the video. And feel absolutely free to send this link around. This is truly exciting stuff coming from Microsoft and most geeks should be able to find some type of excitement in it :).
