DRP Technology Readiness News Snippet - December 2006 Summary
Sessions covered this month
- We have completed overview sessions on Windows Workflow (WF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Reporting services (Friday), as well as a WF drilldown and a WCF demonstration during December. Both the Windows Workflow and Windows Communication Foundation technologies have been identified as new and strategic technologies and we are hoping that the demand for drill-down sessions will allow us to jointly explore the technology and build the communities experience and competence with the technologies.
Sessions scheduled for January 2007

- Other, non listed events:
- MCP XML Web Services exam cram sessions

What are the objectives of this technology readiness sessions?
- Introduce current, new and bleeding edge technology to the project teams, empowering them to select the right technology for the correct project.
- The sessions do not present sanctioned technology or architectures.
- The technology readiness overview sessions are, as the name implies, "overview" sessions. If your team is considering any current, new or bleeding edge technology, please check if a drill-down or boot camp program exists for the technology, to ensure your team can obtain a rapid ramp-up when and as needed, to ensure you can and will use the technology effectively from the start.
- Statistics: Out of the listed technology readiness sessions 0% are bleeding edge and only 10% are based on new technology. The remainder are based on BB&D and/or industry proven technology.
