Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
This week’s editorial information is a bit dry, but hopefully you’ll find it
interesting. A number of announcements were made yesterday. I mention here
the ones I thought may have the most impact on you.
… Visual Studio .NET 2003 Special Edition & Visual Studio 2005,
Standard Edition
Microsoft made a couple of announcements this week about their Visual Studio
line of products. Visual Studio 2003, Special Edition is a low-priced version of
Visual Studio 2003 that includes a copy of Windows 2003 Server, SQL Server 2000,
e-books, a 1/2 off exam coupon and more. I posted an announcement on this
at:
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,14a0,1,3udu,jyzw,jorm,i5r0
Also announced yesterday was Visual Studio 2005, Standard Edition. With this
announcement, Microsoft is providing more definition to the different versions
of Visual Studio that can be expected with 2005. The Standard Edition will be
a version that is more robust than the Express products that are currently
in beta; however, it will have the same ease-of-use. As Microsoft continues to
define the developer products, I will continue to post announcements on CodeGuru
(https://www.codeguru.com/announcements/index.php).
For more on the Express products, see:
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,14a0,1,5m1n,6fsx,jorm,i5r0
… Microsoft Virtual Server 2005
Microsoft also announced yesterday the general availability of Virtual Server
2005. Many developers I know are already using this product. It provides an easy
way to set up testing environments or to set up multiple operating systems
easily on a single machine. I posted more on this at
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,14a0,1,esi5,73u0,jorm,i5r0
… Open Source Speech
IBM continues to push Java and Open Source. Recently they donated a small
scale database and yesterday they donated speech software to the Eclipse
Foundations and Apache Software. The underlying motives for this contribution
seems focused on helping to standardize some of the speech specifications
that are in the industry. I posted the complete press release at:
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,14a0,1,fab4,gxlv,jorm,i5r0
Until next week!
Brad!

… Recently Published Books
For those of you keeping up by reading books. The following are just a few of
the new books that have been recently released. If you’ve read any of these,
feel free to write a review to be posted on CodeGuru. See the submission
guidelines at:
https://www.codeguru.com/review-guidelines.php
–> Introducing Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 for
Developers
By Campbell, et. al. for MS
Press
280 pages $29.99
http://books.internet.com/books/073562058X
Seven authors listed on the cover. This is an “introducing” book of only 280
pages. This is speculation, but having seven authors on this level of a book
could indicate the book had problems being created.
–> Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Step By
Step
By Hitachi Consulting and Stacia
Misner for Microsoft Press
440 pages
$39.99

==> Misc.
– [Updated] Cygwin: Free C++ for
Windows
By Daniel Earwicker
Windows
users who want to learn C++ often ask if there is a free C++ compiler. Linux
users don’t have this problem because they have the GNU tools. But, in fact, the
exact same tools are available free from Cygwin, and if you learn to use them,
your skills will be extremely portable. Learn to install and use the tools,
compile a simple program, and write a simple makefile.
