According to Dare's take on what architects at Microsoft blog, I need to talk to my managers and get an architect title instead of the program manager that I currently am (I don't see much of a difference anyway :-)). Anyway, here is the link to my XML in Yukon presentation from XML 2003 (it's in Powerpoint). Note that it describes already the schema collection we will ship in Yukon Beta2 but still uses the old :: syntax for the method invocation instead of the new dot notation. Enjoy.
PS: I have it from Dave Kunkel that I can link directly to it...
I am finally back at my blog :-)
I was busy with family (my daughter just had her birthday), skiing (the snow is fab), digging me out of snow, cutting some trees (pictures to follow), and work, and am now “relaxing” (I wish :-)) at a W3C XQuery F2F meeting where we work through many of the still open issues and public comments (I encourage all you XQuery addicts to send in public comments and comment on already raised comments, especially the more than hundred that I sent).
Thanks to Joshua who tried to get people to write me to blog more. Nice try, but you were the only one asking me to blog by email. :-)
I have seen that Jon Udell, Don Box, Dare and others were active on discussing querying XML, the Web and other things. If I am under-utilized tomorrow during the meeting, I will read and give my opinion.
To Don: I am really glad you like XQuery. So my stint at OOPSLA was not for naught. :-) I am interested in your feedback and questions, so I will try to get you for a lunch date sometimes soon...
