BMW Financial Services VB6-to-C# Migration Case Study
Short Description
In the past, Visual Basic (VB) upgrades were fairly painless and inexpensive because Microsoft made new versions of VB backward compatible, but things are different this time. An upgrade to .NET brings with it a radical shift in terms of architecture, design, deployment, features, and tools. The upgrade will be even more challenging if you decide to move from the forgiving VB compiler to the rigorous C# compiler. Confronted with declining vendor and community support and major migration challenges, BMW Financial Services in Dublin, Ohio set out to define a strategy that would allow us to adopt C# in an efficient and deliberate manner. Our objectives were to minimize disruption and costs and leverage the momentum of the platform change to move our capabilities forward. This article presents our strategy and some of the experiences we are encountering along the way.

Choosing the Right Hardware for Server Virtualization
Short Description
Currently, virtualization is one of the most talked about new technologies in IT infrastructure. The ability to virtualize servers and reclaim, up until now, excess capacity has caught the interest of datacenter managers who are facing difficult power and cooling problems, the need to add more IT capacity to react to market changes, or a lack of significant capital resources. The server virtualization marketplace has been evolving rapidly over the past few years, and IDC has seen customer attitudes and stances toward virtualization mature rapidly as well. Virtualization is changing the landscape of the x86 IT world as we know it. Virtualization has made every vendor up and down the software and hardware stacks consider the impact on the architectural design of its product and the go-to-market model it uses. This changing marketplace has manifested itself with new requirements for virtualization products.

Usability in the Web 2.0 World
Short Description
RSS, Blogs, AJAX, Podcasts, Wikis, Toolbars, Mashups – these are the basic building blocks of Web 2.0, the popular name given to the collection of technologies that underpin the current wave of Internet applications. Web 2.0 is characterized by user-generated content. Leaders in the Web 2.0 era focus on merely providing the platform whereas it is their users who provide most of the content. For example, Jigsaw is a business contact marketplace where users find, build and trade business contacts; Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia where users contribute articles on a wide range of topics; Flickr allows users to share, search and find photographs, and YouTube does the same thing with videos.
