Developing Software Components Based on Brain Lateralization

Microsoft подала патентную заявку 20080134132, в которой описывается метод "Developing Software Components Based on Brain Lateralization" ("Разработка программных компонентов, основанная на латерализации мозга"), сообщает Ars Technica.

Заявка описывает процесс обеспечения качества разработки ПО (Perform Quality Assurance). В Microsoft использовали схему, в которой инженеров-разработчиков уподобили элементам левого полушария мозга, отвечающим за аналитическое мышление и последовательную обработку информации, а конечных потребителей ПО - элементам правого полушария, отвечающим за воображение, фантазии и параллельную обработку данных. Между ними, по замыслу авторов патентной заявки, должны находиться специалисты, способные "расшифровать" и передать информацию, поступающую из одного "полушария" в другое, что должно повысить качество обратной связи и создаваемого программного обеспечения.

Репутация

На YUI блоге запостили необычный набор паттернов:

A person participating in a social structure expects to develop a reputation and hopes for insight into the reputations of others, but each designed model of participation and reputation embodies its own set of biases and incentive structures. Balancing these forces determines in large measure the success or failure of a social system.

Sharepoint

Microsoft recently announced the latest version of the Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services (v1.2). This announcement is significant in that, among specific improvements in and to "out-of-the-box" projects, Redmond has added support for Visual Studio 2008. For those of you actively developing on SharePoint, this update to the extensions means, among other things:


No more "hacking" to use VS 2008
Until the 1.2 extensions, developers were reduced to "community" solutions for leveraging VS 2008. Some of these community-developed solutions worked, but they were not supported by Microsoft and lacked the fit and polish of a commercial release.
The ability to fully utilize .NET 3.5 (which provides native AJAX extensions)
The latest version of the .NET framework has been out for some time. However, SharePoint developers couldn't really take advantage of the update, since VS 2005 only supports .NET 3.0 (we can split hairs about how much SharePoint support there is with this extensions release, but that's another blog topic). With the update, the facilities in the new framework are now effectively available to SharePoint developers, including having the AJAX framework built into .NET (although official support for AJAX within SharePoint doesn't really exist).
Silverlight support (at least from Visual Studio's perspective)
As mentioned in a previous post on the SharePoint conference, Microsoft has been demoing more and more Silverlight-based Web Parts in SharePoint. Both Andrew Connell and Robert Bogue have been hosting a series of SharePoint online sessions that, in part, cover Silverlight-enabled Web Parts. For highly interactive Web Parts, Silverlight may be a better option than AJAX, since SharePoint doesn't natively support AJAX.
Improved project diversity
There are additional project types added to SharePoint development, including custom fields, modules, and templates. In addition, two project types (content types and list definitions) include stubbed Event Receivers.
As the SharePoint Report 2008 points out, the SharePoint developer experience needs some improvement. Specifically, there were historical problems with the 1.0 extensions that Microsoft released. The 1.1 extensions fixed may quirks, but didn't significantly add to the project types available and failed to support the latest Visual Studio version (even though the release dates were relatively close). With the 1.2 release, it seems Microsoft has regained its development footing and has started moving the ball forward again.

All this said, there were some disappointing news within the announcement. Remote development is still not supported. One could argue that remote development has never been a strong suit of Microsoft's server products; most products, including previous versions of SharePoint, Content Management Server, and BizTalk all required developers to have a local copy of the product installed. However, as the SharePoint development community expands and more customers adopt the platform, I question whether it's reasonable to expect every developer to host their own SharePoint server. I know of at least a few customers who don't want developers arbitrarily spinning up servers on their network and don't have the network support bandwidth for a half-dozen new servers just for development.
