I am going to give a talk about Umbraco at the Belgium's Microsoft Innovation Center.
While preparing my speech I was wondering if Microsoft had ever developed its own CMS. Orchard is still in development and is on the verge to be released. Is Orchard the very first CMS developed by Microsoft itself? We are in 2010 did I miss something since the last 10 years when ASP.NET was released? lol
SharePoint is not a CMS. It is a collaborative platform with CMS capabilities. DotNetNuke has never been developed by Microsoft even though its chief Architect discuss technical challenges with Scott Guthries years ago. Oxite is a one shoot that has no support.
As a conclusion: Is Orchard the very first CMS that Microsoft has developed?
Thanks.
The first Microsoft CMS was IBuySpy Portal. It was originally written by Microsoft as an open source ASP.NET demonstration app but was picked up by Shaun Walker and eventually became DotNetNuke.
Microsoft also bought a product called NCompass Resolution, which was sold as Microsoft Content Management Server before being subsumed into Sharepoint 2007.
Oxite has been dropped and replaced by Orchard - after getting negative feedback, the Oxite team decided to reboot their CMS project under the Orchard name. See http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/orchard-microsofts-open-source-cms-platform-is-reborn/4506.
Yes Microsoft has something called "Microsoft Content Management Server" but it's no longer supported. It's now replaced by Microsoft Sharepoint.
There was the Content Managment Server
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms946812.aspx
whose functionality was later incorporated into Sharepoint server 2007.
Microsoft Content Management Server (around year 2002).

I'm a former professional software developer. I've been out of programming (doing ecommerce and marketing) for nearly 20 years, and I'd like to try getting back into software development.
I'm looking for advice on how to create a very basic and simple but useful application that I can own and promote. I'm hoping that this app will serve as a proof of concept for building more advanced apps. I'd like to be able to publish the app on my website and also make it available for iPhone and Android users through the respective app stores.
Does anyone have advice on how to do this?
Specifically, I'm trying to answer these questions:
What is the best, easiest language and framework to use for building a simple web or mobile application?
Any suggestions on what kind of utility the app should provide: e.g. calculator, weather update, unit converter, crypto, etc.?
Thanks in advance.
In 2000, I was the lead developer (pretty much the only developer for the first six months) for a company called Communitect. We were one of the first companies to create apps that used text messaging for bank transactions. We wrote most of the code in Java with a MySQL database, and our code ran on Apache Tomcat.
The company struggled because we were a bit ahead of the curve and ended up chasing a lot of squirrels.
I'm not looking to do something so innovative this time. I'd like to just make my own version of a digital mousetrap and see how the process works for building up its popularity.

We are a software development company willing to develop iPhone/iPad apps for one of our clients.
We understand that for being able to deploy our application at our client, they have to register in Apple's iOS Developer Enterprise Program and add us in the development team.
It is unclear if we need to buy a MonoTouch license for Enterprise Distribution or a simple Professional license would allow us to sign and deploy the application on a large number of devices as long as the client is already registered in Apple's Enterprise Program.
Although the question is targeted at MonoTouch's licensing options, any practical advice on how to handle the common scenario described in the first phrase would also be of great help.
Thanks.
There are two differences between the Professional and Enterprise licences for MonoTouch:
The professional license requires you to assign the license to a named developer. This means that you cannot share the license between employees in your organization. Enterprise licenses do not have this restriction.
In addition, the Enterprise license allows you to deploy applications outside the App Store. This is useful for applications deployed internally in an organization.
Apart from that the licenses are identical as far as I know. Both allow you to develop full iOS applications with no restrictions.
Depending on your need, you may want to go for the 5-pack of enterprise licenses. This gives you five licenses for the price of four, and lets all your employees share them. In many cases I think this is the best option.

I'm thinking about starting to develop a plugin for AutoCAD, but I have absolutely no knowledge of the field. How does the plugin system work? What are the licensing terms? What programming platforms are available?
I'd really appreciate if somebody could give me a primer, or, even better, link to some resources for the total beginner I am.
Thanks!
Prior to AutoCAD 2014, there were three basic plugin types for AutoCAD:
AutoLisp
.Net
ObjectARX
AutoCAD 2014 also provides:
4. Javascript API. You can find a link to the documentation at the AutoCAD DevBlog.
AutoLisp can be used with DIESEL scripts/macros to accomplish and automate basically anything that a user can due through the UI, and a maybe a little bit more, but .Net and ObjectARX are much more powerful, allowing you to create your own entities and more advanced behavior.
ObjectARX is a C++ interface, and the .NET classes are actually wrappers to the ObjectARX interface. The .Net interface abstracts things fairly well, but you still have to be concerned with the threading and possibly some other things as you develop more complex applications.
As previously mentioned, Through the Interface is a great blog for .NET stuff.
For ObjectARX, there is a good introduction at ObjectARX & Dummies, but for the deeper material the Developers Forums are a good resource.
If you are developing anything for people other than yourself, you should also seriously consider getting a registered developer symbol to prevent conflicts among different plugins. You can do that at the Symbols Registration page on the AutoDesk website.
Depending on your resources, you may also want to join the AutoDesk Developers Network (ADN), which provides access to software technical support, and early and beta access to upcoming AutoDesk products and APIs.
What type of application are you thinking of writing? I've written a couple WPF user controls that communicate with AutoCad. To do so, I used the AutoCad .NET Developers Guide found here:
http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%20.NET%20Developer's%20Guide/index.html
This is a great blog to with some good video tutorials on it too.
This is a GREAT video if you just want to get started!

What is technet subscription all about?
Will it give me a license for an o/s, vs.net for use in production for "free"?
How does it differ from MSDN?
This link (http://ladylicensing.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!87F95F1B5B21B01E!1241.entry) has more information (This is the blog of Licensing Escalation Manager at MS). To quote from the link:
"The software provided with an MSDN Subscription is for design, development, testing, and demonstration of applications in a non-production environment.
The software provided with TechNet Plus subscriptions is for evaluation purposes only."
Technet is basically demoware. MSDN is real products.
MSDN is designed for programmers.
Technet is designed for non-programming IT professionals.
The way it was explained to me by a Microsoft guy.
Technet is intended for IT professionals to evaluate the various products and use it for providing support for said products. It's also used for planning deployments and testing your custom stuff like macros.
MSDN is intended for development professionals to build and support their own products on or around Microsoft products.
MSDN costs more but think about the target audience - professional developers.

Have any Professional course (certification program) for iPhone developer? Like MCAD for Microsoft .NET developer and Zend for PHP developer.
I personally don't put too much store by certification programs - certainly not over real experience.
If you just want training, Big Nerd Ranch have several iPhone courses. Only in Europe and the US. Schedule is at http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml
I am not aware of any certification program for iPhone developers. But there are some free online resources like this course offered by the Stanford University:
CS 193P - iPhone Application Programming
There are 20 lectures you can download as PDF files.
I don't know of any certification courses, but to add to the list of places to go to get training, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is a great learning experience. In addition to several tracks of technical instruction, they run labs where you can have one-on-one interaction with Apple engineers. I found the whole thing tremendously worthwhile.
http://developer.apple.com/WWDC/
I took a training course in March and recieved my iPhone Developer Certification. It was pretty solid. The link is - http://www.theunbounded.com/iPhone/iPhone-Developer-Training.asp
Hope this helps.
