GoingNative: a New Channel 9 Show Dedicated to Native Development

Posted: 28 Jul 2011 12:46 PM PDT

imageGoingNative is a new, monthly show on Channel 9 dedicated to native development and native developers, with an emphasis on modern C++. In our inaugural episode, we keep things light and easy as we introduce you to what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how it will go down.

The main goal of episode 0 is to introduce the cast of characters, including your hosts Charles Torre and Diego Dagum, and to present some ideas of how we think this show will be organized and executed. For example, Diego and Charles will typically construct the show, iterate through some code demos of varying complexity, converse with native developers from Microsoft and across the industry, and then destruct the show. 
In this first episode we do talk about and demo a few new C++ features (shared_ptr, lambdas, auto) and have a conversation with Ale Contenti - development manager of VC's front-end compiler, libraries, and IDE.

[You can play around with the demos in this episode by downloading the free VC++ Express IDE]

Future Orchard Part 2: more Tokens

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 03:36 PM PDT

This is part 2 for this post … Before I show some more advanced features of Tokens, I should probably say a word about why exactly we think we need this feature. In a CMS, there are many places where you need to build strings from some static but configurable part and a number of values that come from the environment. In the first post in this series , I used the rather silly example of Mad Libs because I thought it was a fun and light-hearted way of explaining the technology. But obviously we are not building the feature to play silly word games, we are building it because we need it to build other cool stuff. Real applications include: e-mail formatting : this does not require full templating but always involves inserting values from various...(read more)
