Visual Studio 2008 Debugging
I went to an MSDN event yesterday. The topics were Azure, Debugging and Mobile Programming. Azure was interesting. I learned a lot about Azure and I learned that I shouldn’t think too much about it just yet. It won’t do what I need it to do at this time, plus it is a CTP and not ready for prime-time. That’s why they call it a community technology preview. Duh. One huge topic is storage. They don’t have rows. I can’t save a single record. This rather small issue makes it almost impossible to transition data between a local SQL server with a row-based relational model to the entitiy-based Azure data model. That could be a problem. But, as I said, it’s a CTP and lots of smart people are working on it. <shrug≶

The speaker, Bruno Terkaly, had already posted his debugging tricks to his MSDN blog so I could pay attention and not scribble down notes. I skipped out a few minutes early so I missed all of the mobility discussion. (The word is I missed getting a free book as well.) Read more…
