Innovation Day August 2008

2008-08-30T03:02:00Z

Yesterday, it was full day for me on Innovation day on Microsoft Indonesia, one thing for sure lots of opportunity to prepare (start now) a new way of business next year, when MS will play it's dice on infrastructure services.

For the ISV in Indonesia,this sound it's good, we're being suggested using services in MOSS, live.com, exchange online service and much more, we were brought our mind that "when we creating the software.. DO NOT ALLWAYS START FROM THE SCRATCH", start think to use service that's already shipped and ready to used...it will cut of time development and maximize resource performance. But having this issue, I thought that to learn those API, the developer background also occupied with .NET platform 3.0 knowledge, WCF and also WF.

However imagine that if your everyday life sitting in data center room (that's 15 years ago 4 me) companion with couples big machine, lots of server and monitors plus very cold windy A.C, and suddenly all the machines is gone.....? It might happen someday, cause 'the giant' will doing a lots + big service such as hosting, data center including (database, email, back-up.. u name it!) via net .... My prediction in Indonesia, these business will have good approach as long the reliable bandwidth and infrastructure are ready and solid, especially in Jakarta, lots company would have to consider using this services.

Something in my mind said ... would it be cut off manpower on data center operations... ? ... hmm hmm

But anyway... l would say it's gonna be big business in Indonesia especially when the ring of Palapa (Internet connection) established.

My conclusion is New Oppty = S + S

Route Animation Silverlight with Virtual Earth

2008-04-15T17:00:00Z

Recently I took my week end to found out what Virtual earth can do, as I have such an experience using MapInfo MapX (now MapXtreme) for couples of my old projects, for some reason I figure it out that might be interesting if I can combine VE and Silverlight. In my sample here, I'll show you how we can easily create lines in Virtual Earth and silverlight application will following the lines, just like a route. Click here to see how it run.

DayEvents Samples On Silverlight 2.0

2008-03-28T14:25:00Z

Finally I'm finishing my sample articles on this blog, I'm just worried with the language I choose when writing this article but I prefer to bahasa because I think is more appropriate this time:

This sample takes me 3 days to finished the articles and I carefully learn it from the expert ( * 2 Scott names ) that I recently back and forth reading their explanations.

You check it on this page as Part I and here Part II, this page quite enough long to described about what I did because I like to share it.

You can download the source code here and enjoy it for free (if you're happy) !

I am happy while Scott Morrison gave a quick feed back since I'm asking about DataGrid Behaviour.

* One is Scott Guhtrie and Scott Morirson who actually The PM on DataGrid development on Silverlight 2.0

System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run("Start Writing Blog")

2007-08-23T04:39:00Z

Kita sibuk dengan tanggung jawab secara pribadi dan profesionalisme kita, namun kadang ada hal lain yg perlu kita lakukan untuk terus melakukan hal yg terbaik sesuai dengan kapasitas dan keinginan kita, menulis blog tidaklah mudah untuk saya, waktu yg tersita dan lainnya mudah mengarahkan perhatian ke segala hal yg membuat kita larut dalam kesibukan dan obsesi kita.

Namun sesuai yg di tulis oleh scot hanselman agar terus keep up as good developer, menulis dan sharing suatu yg baik untuk dicoba, sebenarnya sejak beberapa tahun yg saya sering membaca tentang local .NET hero kita yg kita harus 'thumbs up' kepada mereka Agus Kurniawan , Norman Sasono dan risman merupakan salah satu yg terbaik ( tanpa melupakan dondy , saya jg liat zeddy jg cool banget handling issue tentang thread), saya sendiri belum pernah mempunyai kesempatan bertemu dengan mereka secara langsung, namun cukup membaca hal yg telah mereka lakukan membuat kita yakin dengan 'capabilty' orang Indonesia.( no effense )

Beberapa temen komunitas ms seperti krisna, peter even arikun, lama tidak jumpa karena kesibukan saya dan lainnya, tapi mungkin ini sekarang waktunya untuk sering mampir lagi ke kegiatan yg ms lakukan, terutama developer events.

Semoga ini sebagai permulaan untuk sering menulis dan membagi pengetahuan tentang .NET
