Joe Homnick To Discuss The Future Of SharePoint And SQL Server
Join us on Tuesday, October 14th in Miramar as Joe Homnick talks about Online Infrastructure: The Future of Software Like SQL Server and SharePoint.
Microsoft is launching a series of online software offerings they call Software as a Service. You might have heard the term “Cloud Computing”, which basically means all infrastructure is online. Under this scenario all those things related to infrastructure, such as the buying, configuring and maintenance of servers along with the installing and maintaining of the software is borne by Microsoft for a flat fee. The thing that Microsoft is doing that differentiates from other online infrastructure offerings such as SalesForce is that there is a compelling offline component to the service along with strong developer support for customizations.

This mischievous robotic mutt performs a programmable series of up to 80 moves--if he listens, that is. He cocks his head, twitches his ears, wags his muffler tail, sits, stands, and scampers freely--infrared sensors help him to react to movements, avoid obstacles, and detect and avoid drop-offs like stairs. The simple remote directs movements and commands 18 different tricks like "shake hands" and "play dead". Programmed to "malfunction," he requires his owner to reset his circuits straight. Whether happy, angry, or crazy, his slot-machine eyes express his moods and desires--food, running wild, or the call of nature. Entering a code on the mutt's control panel reprograms him as a cat, a junkyard guard dog warning of approaching strangers, or rescues him from a "breakdown." A pair of rear wheels and forepaws that slide over the floor make him a highly mobile dog, even on carpet.
