Microsoft Semblio

Microsoft Semblio

Explaining something with images is a bit easy instead of explaining complete context. But explaining with a presentation, makes one to understand easily and very quickly. Microsoft came up with a new tool which leverages the beauty & wonderful features of WPF to create this Semblio. Semblio can be used to create rich, nice interactive multimedia learning material that teachers can customize, and promote collaboration.

Semblio takes a platform approach to content creation, leveraging the flexibility of Microsoft .NET Framework to work across software, services and learning management systems. It allows you to meet the demand for more cusotmized solutions, providing you with control over how your material is adapted.

Next wave in .NET Platform: Dublin

Dublin. The next wave to build and manage composite applications...

Microsoft .NET 4.0 added new significant functionality to the next version of WCF and WWF. A new set of enhanced Windows Server application server capablities code named, Dublin, to offer greater scalability and easier manageability which extends IIS to provide a standard host for applications that use workflow or communications.

Dublin will initially be made available for download and use by Windows server customers. Dublin will first become available after the release of the .NET FW 4.0 and VS 2010.

Dublin will continue to provide backward compatibility for existing WWF and WCF applications. Customers can confidently start building applications on top Windows server 2008 and .NET 3.5., with assurances that those application will enjoy the benefits of Dublin when it becomes available.

Dublin will be the first Microsoft Server product to support for Oslo Modelling platform. It doesn't require Oslo to operate and provide benefits of hosting .NET applications, however, admins will be able to deploy the applications from Oslo repository directly to Dublin application server.

Dublin provides model-drivern Oslo applications with powerful runtime environment out of the box.

The integration server and application server workloads are distinct and complementary. Customer that need to connect heterogenous systems across an enterprise, like with BizTalk, but don't need to develop and run custom application logic, will deploy BizTalk Server. When customers need both capabilities, BizTalk server and Dublin will work together.

Dublin has prebuilt developer services and greater scalability and easier manageability.
