I've known about it for years and have mentioned it a time or two on this list. :) I worked with some of the MS folks on some stuff they sponsored for in the Open Source community and they just cannot get credit for the stuff they do without angry people and rioters showing up to burn the place down.
Of course for a while I heavily supported a web developer community (Drupal) so was aware of a lot of web focused tools. It was also mentioned in various podcasts and videos are part of an overall tool set from MS. It was more mentioned when the Firebug tool came out years ago. However when that happened all the Firebug advocates could say was 'copy' or well but I don't use IE or something else and promptly dismiss it. Some random links regarding it just cause: :) TechNet http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/gg589507(v=vs.85).aspx Scott Hanselman - I think he has something to do with MS, not sure... small obscure role maybe. I think he posts random stuff. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheInternetIsNotABlackBoxLookInside.aspx On the IE8 announcement page there is a mention of it. (Not digging up IE9 :) http://www.microsoft.com/web/platform/tools-ie.aspx?templang=fr-ch ----- MS just can't get buzz on some things when every time they try the Internets jump on and devolve it into a giant bonfire of a comment fest. It doesn't help that they are so large and have so many different voices and outlets. They have been doing much better in the last few years trying to build communities around interests and specialties and MVPs but they are so large it's challenging and often from our perspective there are missteps and so much over all noise that really cool or neat things get lost or missed. So, in the interests of communications, if you weren't aware here are some additional sources of information. :) TechNet wiki is a nice place depending on the technology you support lots of additional content there and the ability to add to it yourself and edit. Channel9 has tons of awesome resources and shows such as Defrag Tools, Various Jump Start series, TechEd videos, BUILD conference videos. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/ - TechNet Wiki http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Defrag-Tools Each *Defrag Tools* show focuses on a specific tool http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun - tons of shows and JumpStart series and random projects http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build http://channel9.msdn.com/Browse/Series http://channel9.msdn.com/Browse/Shows http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd http://channel9.msdn.com/Browse/Events?sort=recent I have a bunch of links to 'training type' video's, test lab guides, virtual labs and resources linked here as well : http://www.blkmtn.org/Microsoft_Private_Cloud_Training-Videos Steven Peck http://www.blkmtn.org On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 2:41 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm quite impressed with that too.
