Last week we shipped out an update to 10 that not only refreshed the design but set up the EvNet platform to support Channel9. Community Server and FlexWiki but has grown to a lot more. When we started working on10, the goal was to create a new site as well as a stable, extendable code base that we could grow all our communities on. That project is called EvNet and this is the dev team behind it. We dive in to how this all works as well so take a look.

Forth to .NET Compiler

Sampy — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 16:52:17 GMT

As a compact, stack-based programming language, Forth was popular in the 1980s as a lower-level alternative to BASIC for microcomputers and is still used in many commercial environments. When Valer Bocan discovered .NET in 2001, he decided to try writing his first compiler, and Forth.NET was the result.

Dr. Sneath interviews him to find out a little more about how a single Romanian developer became one of the first people to extend .NET to new programming languages. Apologies that the video is so shaky: it wasn’t until afterwards that we discovered that the image stabilization feature was disabled. Download Forth.NET from Valer’s website (http://www.dataman.ro/dforth/index.html).

Barry Bond: Emulation, Emulation, Emulation

Barry Bond is an Architect who lives and breathes software emulation of hardware. What is emulation? How does it work? How do you inhale it? Well, watch, listen and learn. We dig into this important development technology with the de facto emulation guru here at Microsoft. One of the great things about the emulation technology Barry has created is that it's source code is available as shared source. Developers, get your hands dirty.
