Office12 Video

Tools

Over  month ago, Markus Egger pointed out this video of Office12 features that is on the Microsoft Office site. I finally got a chance to take a look at it today and am now inspired to reinstall my beta copy on my mobile pc (translation: my tablet) and play with it more.

One of the things I think is cool about Office 12’s  ribbon is that it is going to make using Office 12 really comfortable with a stylus. The tablet apps that I have written are light on drop down menus and heavy on single click functionality. That design came from dogfooding my own apps until they felt good to use with the stylus.

www.vtdotnet.org v2.0

dotNET

I finally put the new ASP.NET 2.0 version of the Vermont.NET website up.

I have been using it as a playground to finally fiddle with the new UI stuff as well as recently released projects.

I have not moved all of the content over from the original site.

It doesn’t have any Atlas on it yet, but give me time. 🙂

There is a page called About this Site that highlights all of the features I experimented with for the site so far.

The June meeting of Vermont.NET will be “portal night”.

We have Dave Burke of telligent doing a talk on Community Server.

Paul Swider, from Burlington based OnClickSolutions will do a talk on Sharepoint.

Jon Limmer of Green Mountain Beverage, a company whos main website is based on DotNetNuke, will demo DNN for us.

This should be cool! Especially for Vermont geeks who aren’t going to TechEd. (I’m planning to drive down Tuesday morning.)
