Microsoft Product Launch Recap

Microsoft Heroes Happen Here   Nick here. I'm going to just have to go ahead and say that the Microsoft product launch I attended was great! I came home with a few new tips and tricks as well as some new and improved tools to create your websites with. I could go into detail on these, but It's really stuff that the geeks out there like to know (If you classify yourself as that, then by all means shoot me an e-mail!)

   Perhaps two topics that MS touched on will be relevant to you, the reader. These are probably not too unfamiliar to you either: Security & Reliability. Microsoft proudly spoke about their current security status in their products. I have to admit that they have quite an impressive track record for the last five years. They have had zero security threats in their database solution, SQL Server, since 2004. They have really outdone their competitors in this field. This means your website and eCommerce data is safe and secure on a Microsoft SQL Database.
 
Experts   How about reliability of your website? With the new functionality Visual Studio 2008 (what I use to make your websites) has to offer, it makes it easier for me to double-check that I am coding your website correctly. Proper, reliable code ensures a few things. It speeds up your web site's performance, it ensures that the design is cross-browser compatible and it boosts your SEO potential. Needless to say, I'm very excited!
 
   In a nutshell, the event was awesome. I had a great time and took a lot of information home with me that I will be sure to apply.

Microsoft - Heroes Happen Here

Heroes happen {here}   Nick here. I am very excited to tell you that I will be attending the Microsoft "Heroes happen {here}" product launch event held in the Minneapolis, Mn Convention Center. This is their release event for three new products that just hit the floor: Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008. This is very exciting to me and any other Microsoft fanatic out there, to be able to participate in a hands-on environment with the new products available. With the information I will collect and the experience I will come home with at this event, I believe it will provide Famous Davis with uncharted advancements in the technology we provide you as well as boost performance in our website development.

   Famous Davis utilises these products heavily in our web development, video streaming and eCommerce websites. I personally have used the Visual Studio Suite for the last few versions now. It's solid and gets the job done effectively and efficiently which means a solid and compliant website for you. SQL Server is the database platform we use behind our websites. It is fast, safe and secure. From what I've read, to date, Windows Server 2008 is the most solid and secure Windows server platform yet, which gets me really excited to take it on a test run.
 
   I'll keep you posted on what information I receive at the event! Have a great weekend.
