The keynote today was the highlight so far! Ok, it has been in the air since Google apps came online, but it was still exiting to get the first glimpse of Office 14 with Word and Excel as web applications. I really hope we will see this built in to SharePoint in a near future. This would certainly bring Excel services to a whole new level. Microsoft also showed us more of WPF with a lot of cool

Surface Cravings!

Man har ju sett artiklar om Microsoft Surface tidigare men kanske inte riktigt förstått nyttan/meningen med det. Är det inte bara en stor pekskärm kan man fråga sig?Jo det är förvisso saant, men det är också en hel del mer än så. T.ex är det en stor pekskärm där många kan interagera med olika objekt samtidigt. Pekskärmen kan också fås att interagera med fysiska objekt (ex.vis kamera, mobiltelefon

De nominerade till .NET Awards 2008...

2008-08-26T15:04:00.007+02:00

Microsoft har nu utannonserat de nominerade bidragen till detta årets .NET Awards.Tidigare år så har bidrag som till någon grad baserats på SharePoint knappt räckt till för att fylla Information Worker kategorin. En lite intressant utveckling är att man i år också kan finna bidrag under både kategorierna Dynamics och Web Site som nyttjar SharePoint som en del av en lösning.Vi säger lycka till!
