  • 1 Research Article Exploring Attitudes of ASP.NET Web Developers
    Research Article Exploring Attitudes of ASP.NET Web Developers toward New Technologies: Silverlight, MVC 3, HTML 5, Internet Explorer 9 Takeshi K. Eto, Ph.D., Stefanus Hadi, Ph.D. DiscountASP.NET Published: January 4, 2011 Summary The challenge for all technology innovators is to ensure their technologies stay relevant for users who consume the technology, remain important to the developers who develop with the technology and adapt to competitive forces in a constantly changing technology landscape. One important aspect of business intelligence is to track the opinions and attitudes of developers. Based on the results of a September 2010 survey of DiscountASP.NET customers, general attitudes of ASP.NET web developers toward new technologies are explored, including MVC 3, Silverlight, HTML 5 and Internet Explorer 9. The survey results are viewed using different comparisons and segmentation techniques to observe underlying trends. Introduction All technologies go through a lifecycle in the marketplace. Technology adoption is dynamic and is influenced by changing consumer interests and behavior, developer’s interest in using the particular technology, and many other competitive factors. To keep the technology relevant in the marketplace, the technology innovator must understand the changing consumer behavior trends, sustain the passion of their core developers, and adapt to the changing technology landscape. Therefore, one important aspect of business strategy is to track the opinions and attitudes of developers. To illustrate the interplay

  • 05262021 Build KEY11 Scott Guthrie
    05262021 Build KEY Scott Guthrie Build 2021 Scott Guthrie SCOTT GUTHRIE: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Build 2021. Build is all about developers, and we’re incredibly excited to talk to you this week about some of the work that we’re doing that enables developers to build even better apps and solutions and deliver even more impact to the world. This past year has been a year really unlike any other, and developers have been absolutely critical to helping businesses, governments and people everywhere respond and adapt to the challenges of the pandemic. And as we work to reimagine our future, developers have never been more important to the world. Microsoft was founded 46 years ago as a developer tools company. At the time, our first and only product was Microsoft BASIC, and developers and the platforms and tools they use have been core to Microsoft’s DNA ever since. And today, we have the richest developer tools in the world with Visual Studio, GitHub and .NET. And with the Microsoft Cloud, we have an incredibly rich platform that developers can use to build apps and solutions that can reach any person on the planet. And we want to empower all of you to build what comes next. Now, no other company has the breadth and depth of the solutions that we deliver at Microsoft, and the Microsoft Cloud obviously is critical to enabling that. What makes the Microsoft Cloud particularly rich is just the set of rich set of services it delivers, and with Microsoft Azure, we provide the underlying cloud infrastructure and cloud platform that you need.

We’re excited to have you join us for the Microsoft Cloud Unplugged session with Scott Guthrie. May name is Merrie Williamson. I am the Vice President of Azure Apps and Infrastructure. I spend my days talking to customers and partners, and today I get to talk to Scott. Hi, Scott, good morning. SCOTT GUTHRIE: Thanks Mary. I’m excited to be here too. I’m really looking forward to the conversation. MERRIE WILLIAMSON: Today, we’re going to focus, Scott, on conversations on Microsoft’s cloud, the investments that we’re making, the strategy behind our comprehensive platform, and a couple of questions from the audience. We’ll also have a lightning round of Q&A at the end, so be prepared. How does that sound, Scott? Are you ready? SCOTT GUTHRIE: That sounds great. Let’s get started. MERRIE WILLIAMSON: All right, my first question is around cloud. Given Ignite, our attendees yesterday heard Satya talk about the future of computing. We’d love to hear your point of view on Microsoft’s cloud approach and the value it brings to our customers. SCOTT GUTHRIE: Yeah, I mean, I think we’re living in an interesting time right now, where, we’re all going through a pandemic, and all of our businesses are being stretched in new ways. I think every company and every organization is trying to figure out how do we reinvent ourselves? How do we connect with our customers better? How do we do business differently? We see cloud is kind of a key ingredient to enable that type of transformation for organizations.

    09252017 Ignite Technology Keynote Scott Guthrie Microsoft Ignite Technology Keynote Scott Guthrie September 25, 2017 ANNOUNCER: Please welcome Executive Vice President Microsoft Scott Guthrie. (Applause.) SCOTT GUTHRIE: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Ignite. This morning Satya demonstrated some of the incredible innovations coming in the future and the amazing impact that technology is going to be able to have on people's lives. I'm now going to go deeper into Microsoft Azure and how you can take advantage of it to build amazing solutions. One of the defining aspects of cloud computing is the ability to innovate and release new technology faster and at greater scale than ever before. There's a set of technology, things like IoT, AI, micro services, serverless computing and more, this is all happening right now thanks in large part to cloud computing. And it's an incredibly exciting time to be in IT and the opportunities for new approaches and new technologies have never been greater. At the same time I also recognize that while all this stuff is really cool, it can also be a little overwhelming. I hear that in a lot of my conversations with customers around the world. The expectation to know all of these new technologies and be up to date with them all the time can sometimes leave you feeling like you're falling behind. And the expectations that companies have on you to quickly deliver breakthrough experiences with all this new technology is super high. In a lot of cases, your companies are betting on you really to deliver the new digital experiences that are going to transform and power those businesses going forward.

We have some great content and announcements to share today, and I'm going to be joined by some amazing speakers. Our mission at Microsoft is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more, and our goal is to empower developers with the platforms and tools that will make you incredibly successful. In this presentation we're going to walk through and demo our latest development tools and cloud platform innovations. Developers are the driver of innovation in the world we live in today, and this is especially true now as the world has had to go even more online and as every organization is having to rethink and rework their business. Developers are more critical than ever before. With Azure, we've built an end-to-end cloud that enables developers to focus on building apps and not have to worry about the underlying infrastructure the apps run on. Azure is open and it supports your favorite development language, open source framework, or tool. Azure also makes it easy for you to learn new skills and grow your career. Every developer is welcome with Azure, and over the last few years, we've seen developers across the globe invent, build and deploy some truly amazing solutions using Azure. Over 95% of the world's largest companies are running their businesses using Azure today, and throughout the Build event, many of our customers will share their stories about how Azure is helping them achieve business success, and how we are partnering with them during these challenging times.
