Perspectives on the Microsoft Platform and SOA Modelling

New class of developers: Sharepoint  developers

Interesting point - what are the foundation application services which can be the basis of applications.

Is it worthwhile to look in detail at some of the internal services rather than the external/Internet based ones.

 For example Office etc

Brendon and I just had a look at a free tool: Microsoft Search Server Express. Now this is a free tool which easily adds business value out of the box.

Modelling in Visual Studio 2008 still not everything you need.

I am wondering about not creating PDf but instead creating OPENXML documents and using Office 2007 backward compatibility in Office 2003. That way its future looking, involves no components to create and can be produced in a designer (Word).

I think I can even use something in Word to put data in using XPath.
