Editor's Notes
- Some quick information about myself:I work for HP Enterprise Services, which is the new name for EDS. EDS founded the information technology outsourcing industry in 1962. We are now a business unit of HP, and we are leading the world in global technology services delivering business solutions to our clients. Our business unit is built on a heritage of delivery excellence, industry knowledge, a world-class technical infrastructure, and the expertise and commitment of our people.Enterprise Services delivers one of the industry’s broadest portfolios of information technology, applications, and business process outsourcing services to clients in the manufacturing; financial services; healthcare; communications, media, and entertainment; energy; transportation; and consumer and retail industries; and to governments around the world.I specifically work as a project lead on the United States Army Accessions Command (USAAC) account at Ft. Knox. As such, I’m responsible for the day-to-day management of several .NET projects. Most of my time is spent working on the Information Technology Acquisition Support System or ITASS. ITASS is responsible for the requisition, acquisition, and management of information technology for the command. This project has been around since 2000, starting as a Classic ASP/VB6 web application and since migrated to an ASP.NET site.Amongst the things I do at Ft. Knox, I provide technology leadership for .NET projects. Basically, if there is something we want to do that involves .NET or the our .NET projects (whether directly or indirectly) I usually get involved in some way.I also provide guidance for our process improvement efforts. This has included helping determine the .NET related coding/development standards, peer review processes, etc.Finally, you see my contact information. I sort-of maintain a blog at chadgreen.com, but I rarely get a chance to write any articles there. My Twitter handle is chadgreen and you can always email me at chadgreen@chadgreen.com.
- First, the really important information: when is VS 2010 and TFS 2010 going to be available. The release candidate was released to MSDN subscribers on February 8th and the rest of the world a couple of days later.The official launch date is April 12th. It should be noted that while they have already delayed the launch (it was originally scheduled for March 22nd), I just don’t see them changing this date again.As far as the RTM date, the only thing Microsoft officially is saying is that it will be released when its done. Personally, I don’t think this will be until the very end of March, basically just in time to produce DVDs for the launch event. Basically, they want to prevent issues like they had with 2008, when they had to quickly produce a HotFix due to some nasty performance issues that crept into the RTM version.Couple of quick notes about the Release Candidate. First, it expires on June 30, so be prepared to replace it rather quickly. Second, if you are installing it on a Windows XP machine (that is what the Army is still running), the RC introduced a dependency of XP SP3.
