June 11 The 5 New Enterprise Apps You Should Be Developing NowHello people! After some time away from blogs due to personal problems in real life, here we go. I’m back and will starting talking about the actual Enterprise scenario and their needs. The economy, the technology spectrum and business have gone through dramatic change. Your enterprise and the applications running in your company should change also. Here are five applications you should be planning, prototyping and ready to roll out by year's end. Enterprise applications used to be a code word for one big yawn. You had an ERP app that was first developed in about 1963 and incrementally updated ever since. You put a Web front end on your inventory control system, called it 2.0 and off you went to happy hour. You sank so much money into CRM that eventually you too agreed with Marc Benioff that software was dead and you went and signed up for Salesforce.com. But in 2009, the economy, the technology spectrum and business have gone through dramatic change. Your enterprise and the applications running in your company should change also. Here are five applications you should now be planning, prototyping and ready to roll out by year's end. 1. True business intelligence. How did all those Wall Street firms invest all that money in all those financial control systems and still get blindsided by the big financial meltdown? The problem, as I see it, started at the very top with two business agendas. Agenda one was to build financial systems that met minimum compliance requirements and were the playground of the quants and math geeks who thought they could model the world. Agenda two—and the one that mattered—was about the unwritten salary and bonus rules that said put as much business as you can on the books whether risky or not, get your money and get out before the Feds come knocking. The new BI systems have to start right at the top and be designed to fully reflect a company's business: the good, the bad and the ugly. 2. The business backbone. How many green, eco-friendly commercials can you watch from companies that have no idea what energy their utilities, HVAC and electrical systems consume? The enterprise application that ties in your traditional analog, not-under-control-of-IT energy systems to your digital dashboard is not something still impossible to produce. The federal government is—in my opinion—going to come up with a carrot and stick regulatory and tax program that will require regular energy use reporting. You can get ahead of all these new energy compliance (just like financial compliance) laws now by instrumenting your company and getting it all tied into the digital nervous system. 3. The social net monitor. Look, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and myriad other social networks are not going to go away. These will all be tools that will be in use by your marketing, product development and customer service groups. The enterprise application that is missing is an app that ties these tools together and presents views based on department needs and measuring requirements. 4. The cloud monitor. Ah, yes, cloud computing. Maybe you should build a little cloud in a couple departments, maybe a corporatewide cloud, maybe just one big cloud. It all sounds so easy. Until you get into issues like server virtualization, compliance monitoring, security and application access. I'm a fan of cloud computing, but I wouldn't go and deploy any mission-critical apps until I had a way to measure, monitor and administer those applications. 5. The mobile enterprise. Mobility was once a bolt-on to existing business applications. Now mobility is the central focus of senior-level executives. Don't believe me? Try and take that iPhone or BlackBerry away from the CEO. Consumer applications tend to lead business applications. The rapid development of the iPhone App Store has shown how quickly mobile applications can be developed. The next generation of enterprise applications will be designed with mobility in mind from the start. There they are, the five enterprise apps you should be working on now. July 23 Sony wake up finally to Mobile MarketHi all!
Finally Sony woke up to the latest mobile tendency. They announced a new cell phone line named XPERIA. This first model name X1 was designed by HTC and owned by Sony. So, it's powerd by a Qualcomm® processor and custom version of Windows Mobile 6.1. The most nice feature is that X1 version of WM6.1 that seems to be a mobile version of Microsoft Surface will mask the common WM6 UI that we already known on most of actual Smarthphones from Motorola per sample.
![]() His design remember a lot last HTC Touch models with his Arc Slider that hides a small keyboard on it. Above the technical spechs of these new toy:
Official Website: http://www.sonyericsson.com/x1/?lc=en&cc=SG
Alternate Names: None Manufacturer: HTC for Sony Ericsson Predecessor: None (First one in the Xperia Series) Operating System: Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Dimensions :110 x 53 x 17 mm Processor Qualcomm® MSM7201A™ 528 MHz Camera: 3.2 MP with viewfinder and second camera for video call GPS Included User Interface Xperia Panel UI Data HSDPA Screen Size 3 Inches Screen Resolution 800 by 480 Pixels WVGA Built-In Accelerometer OS Upgrade from WM 6.0 to WM 6.1 UI Upgrade from standard WM6 UI to Xpera Panel UI Increased screen size from 2.8" to 3.0" Screen resolution upgrade from QVGA Screen to WVGA Screen Increased ROM from 256 MB to 512 MB Increased RAM from 128 MB to 256 MB Upgraded software for HTC applications New Web browser Included, upgrade for P.I.E 6.0 to P.I.E 6.1 Arc slider instead of the Tilt. Data Speeds update from 3.6 Mbps to 7.2 Mbps More powefull processor from 400mhz to 528 mhz What does it have over everybody else?
The Xperia has the best resolution screen out of all the reviewed phones, with a 800 by 640 screen it features an unrivaled screen resolution prefect for watching movies or browsing the web, overall Look and Feel will also be better with a higher quality screen. It also features a Arc slider design with will make the screen more easily viewable when the sliding keyboard is in use. When can you officially get it? Mid September for US (Unlocked) What it's Missing? The Xperia X1, like the Touch Pro lacks a respectable amount of internal storage, with only 512 MB it makes a very weak case against iPhone's 8 and 16GB or the Diamond's 4GB. The Xperia, like most of the phones with a physical keyboard, is not very "Slim", so if you do care about your being silm and pocket fittable then Xperia loses the battle to phone like Diamond, Omnia and iPhone. Did it "stoled" mos recent phones iDeas?
I don't know, maybe is my opnion but I need ask to this blog readers some questions regarding these new toy:
1. It has a built-in accelerometer... So, what is the unique phone that have it today?
2. Full sensitive touch screen on a phone... Hum... What is the phone have it today?
3. Microsoft Surface over Windows Mobile... Hum... It is a attempt to make the UI from Windows Mobile more intective(improve User Experience) to fight with other phone that have a perfect UX on his UI?
4. Mobile Surface... Hum... It is the mobile implementation of WPF(Windows Presentation Foundation) that some guys from Microsoft talked about some months ago?
5. NO MORE "W" PHONE FROM SONY!!!! Hum... Did Sony realise(or someone FINALLY told they) that enable walkmans make phone calls is not a good deal?
6. Did this a response to the disaster on release of a next generation phone (NOT) mentioned here (but "described" on maind iDeas question)? Or it is a message that HTC touch will goes out from market(becouse of his unsussefull) and HTC company only will design phones for other companies like they made this serie for Sony?
These questions I will try answer later if I found a answer. But, if anyone wanna ask it, please feel free to answer here
Regards...
July 22 ASP.Net 4.0 Preview 1 released!!!This release contains a preview version of the following features (that are also described in its Roadmap document: ASP.NET AJAX Roadmap):
You can download it for test at its CodePlex site
Regards... July 21 More one goes to MSHamilton “Hammett” Verissimo, the founder of the open-source Castle Project, is joining Microsoft on August 11 as a program manager on the Microsoft Extensibility Framework (MEF) team. Verissimo will continue to work on Castle “as much as I want,” he blogged on July 16. “So nothing changes.” The Castle Project has been working on “a simple set of tools to speed up the development of common enterprise and web applications while promoting good architecture.” According to the Castle Project Web site, “Castle was born from the Apache Avalon project, in mid 2003, as an attempt to build a very simple inversion of control container.” There are a number of projects currently listed under the Castle banner, including MonoRail, a Model-View Controller framework; ActiveRecord, an enterprise data-mapping pattern; and a couple of microkernel projects. From Verissimo’s blog post announcing his decision to join Microsoft:
Microsoft’s Developer Division has attracted several high-profile open-source developers in the past few years.

BizTalk Services release R12Microsoft this week added workflow capabilities to BizTalk Services, the company's platform-in-the-cloud project for SOA and business process management.
The R12 Community Technology Preview for BizTalk Services, the twelfth version of the project, offers workflow enabling service orchestration from the cloud. These services can connect to enterprise systems or to systems running anywhere on the Internet. Featured in R12 are a hosted Windows Workflow Foundation runtime and Web services messaging. Users could, for example, set up an automated process that uses Web services to provide pricing information to a partner, said Steven Martin, senior director of product management for the Microsoft Connected Systems Division. "The workflow technology allows me to define the interaction between those services," he said. "As more customers are rolling out SOA in their organizations, the need to define the [interactions] of the services that traverse the firewall is very important," Martin said. Workflow joins identity and messaging services already available with BizTalk Services. In an open beta stage for almost a year, BizTalk Services acts as a hosted service bus for connecting applications across the Internet. Microsoft would not say how many users the platform currently has. There is no specific date yet on commercial availability for a general release of BizTalk Services. Other improvements in the R12 release relate to the identity and messaging services. The identity service has been expanded to enable users to grant permissions to multiple assets, such as allowing a partner vendor some amount of control over access. This is instead of having just one party able to access information, said Martin. REST-based (Representational State Transfer) communication of identity information also has been added. Messaging now supports multiple protocols for exchanging information, such as TCP and auto-detect. Previously, the service was limited to HTTP transfer. First-in, first-out messaging, to ensure that a group of documents is received in proper order, has been added as well. Also, information can be broadcast to multiple parties without requiring that the parties first have authorization to get the data. BizTalk Services was viewed as a solution for smaller companies by analyst Randy Heffner of Forrester Research. "It's an outsourcing-your-platform kind of thing," Heffner said. A major enterprise typically would want to control in-house the types of services offered on Microsoft's platform, he said. Additional services will be added to BizTalk Services in the future, Martin said. Microsoft's planned Oslo software development technologies, featuring capabilities for visual modeling and a new declarative language, will be leveraged by BizTalk Services. BizTalk Services, which remains the code name for the project, can be accessed here. An updated SDK is featured for use with the platform. Microsoft first unveiled the project in the spring of 2007. With BizTalk Services, Microsoft does not actually store any customer information, Martin said. Source: InfoWorld Regards... July 11 Expanding the knowledge / Expandindo o conhecimentoHi all!
Due to recent requests and to my new job at Dell, I'll now try start posting in english(bad or not is my english) to allow another guys around the world read the topics posted here. So, this will be my last post with portuguese text.
Thanks for the feedback from the readers of this blog that helped me a lot to take this decision.

PT-BR
Olá todos!
Devido aos últimos pedidos e ao meu novo trabalho na Dell, eu estarei a partir de hoje tentando postar tudo em inglês para permitir que outras pessoas que não falem português entendam a idéa que tento passar em cada novo post. Por isso, este é o último post que estará com texto em português.
Obrigado pelas críticas/opniões recebidas dos leitores deste blog que ajudaram e muito a tomar esta decisão assim como aos meus colegas de trabalho de fora do Brazil.
Thanks! / Obrigado! June 22 Microsoft Surface Release 2A Microsoft anunciou o segundo deployment do Surface. O primeiro cliente a receber foi a operadora de telefonia celular americana AT&T que já tem o Surface para seus clientes conhecerem os telefones celulares da rede. O segundo cliente é o Harrah's Entertainment que é o dono do Rio Casino em Las Vegas. O i-Bar desse cassino contará com algumas mesas Surface(inicialmente 6) a partir de hoje. As mesas do Surface desse cassino permitem, entreo outras coisas, jogos multiplayers, navegação em mapas do Virtual Earth, cardápio e pedido de bebidas, integração com as câmeras do i-Bar, e, algo bem interessante, uma paquera virtual entre as mesas - uma pessoas de uma mesa pode mandar recado para as outras mesas. Os 6 jogos disponíveis no Surface foram desenvolvidos com o XNA. Confira tudo no vídeo abaixo e os detalhes no Microsoft Press Pass.
Demo comercial do Surface no Rio Casino demonstrado muito bem por essa loira =) Finalmente a Microsoft decidiu utilizar belas atrizes para seus produtos:
June 02 News sobre o Windows 7
Olá leitores! Estou aqui mandando news sobre o lançamento do Windows 7 que aparente mente estará saindo em 2009. Nestes dias na D6 Conference, Bill Gates e Steve Ballmer fizeram uma demonstração sobre a nova interface do Windows 7.
Gutemberg Ribeiro April 30 Um tour pelo novo ambiente de trabalho...Olá amigos e leitores deste blog! Venho através deste post(depois de um tempinho já), mostrar a todos sobre minha mudança a Porto Alegre para a Dell. Como falei nos posts anteriores, eu iria fazer um post a cada dia, mas infelizmente por questões de tempo não deu muito certo a idéia. Daí resolvi somar a semana inteira e fazer um report mais completinho hoje. Bom, resolvi também postar aqui as fotos da minha última palestra pelos Sharpshooters em Recife pois não havia blogado ela na semana do evento(também por questões de tempo, ou talvez, pelo meu grande problema de esquecimento momentâneo). O evento foi realizado na UFPE no mês passado nas dependências do auditório do CIn(Centro de Informática da UFPE). O mesmo tinha como tema os grandes lançamentos da Microsoft para 2008 que seriam SQL Server 2008(esqueci o nome do palestrante sorry Por fim os palestrantes reunidos nos corredores do CIn. Deixando Recife de lado e falando daqui de POA, bom, em primeiro lugar eu axei a cidade muito legal. Clima muito bom friozinho, mulheres bonitas(ganhou um ponto), pessoas legais em fim, é interessante Bom, hoje, manhã de sábado, friozinho legal(18º C) nada pra fazer, não conheço ninguém direito(exceto pessoal da Dell que são MUITO gente fina e que me levaram pra vários locais durante a semana, daí tenho que dar uma trégua pra eles com a família =P), iPhone na mão, resolvi sair do hotel e vir para a PUC/Dell pra dar um passeio pelo campus e tirar umas fotos desse meu tour. Abaixo ta mais ou menos na ordem do passeio com os comentários: - Chegada a Porto Alegre na terça-feira dia 22 de abril. Logo após deixar malas no hotel, tomar um banho, café da manhã, go go go to Dell. O prédio(um dos da Dell aqui na PUC) em que estou é o 32, prédio da FACIN(faculdade de informática da PUC-RS) onde a Dell tem 3 andares so pra ela. - A entrada de um dos prédios da Dell, o que estou alocado atualmente. - O prédio visto de lado de um dos estacionamentos. - Kabalat Shabat! Meeting de comemoração da semana logo no dia que cheguei =D - Meu telefone alienígena =O - Minha workstation provisória. - A entrada do TecnoPUC(parque tecnológico da PUC). - Eu no meu Cube definitivo fazendo pose para a foto do TPass. - Continuando o passeio, aqui temos o Colégio Marista Champagnat. Se em Recife o Marista não teve muito sucesso e fechou, aqui em POA ele é MUITO forte e é dentro da PUC quase em frente ao prédio da Dell. - Uma visão mais ampla do nosso prédio. - Para não ficar away por aqui, temos sim Microsoft Inovation Center dentro do TECNOPUC. - Mais um prédio exclusivo da Dell. - Central da TECNOPUC. - A “Coisa” e seu prediozinho mixuruca =P - Centro e convivência TECNOPUC. Funciona como um clube onde o cara faz as festinhas ;P - RAIAR é a incubadora de empresas da TECNOPUC. - NERRRRRRRRDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSS tem ai de muito. - Coisa mais legal da PUC. “O Ponto das Galegas de direito e psicologia”... Além de ser uma Wifi Zone free pra todo mundo, as 16hs da tarde no intervalo destes 2 cursos mensionados, isso ai fica impestado de galegas a ponto de você não conseguir ver nada na sua frente a não ser elas(isso é, se você realmente quiser ver outra coisa). - Os segredos da pergunta... “Quem veio primeiro? O ovo ou a galinha?” estão guardados ai dentro. - Outra visão do ponto das loiras... - Outra coisa não... Mas árvores e galegas aqui tem. - Por final do passeio, voltando ao prédio da Dell, eis o térreo, onde nestas salas, a Dell tem uma sala para estudantes da PUC de mestrado e doutorado para pesquisa. Bom, as fotos ficam por aqui por enquanto. Infelizmente não posso tirar fotos das dependências da Dell por motivos descritos no nosso padrão de segurança. Deu pra ter uma noção do quão grande é a PUC, mas olhe que eu não andei nem 30% do campus todo(do lado da Dell, pois tem outra parte do outro lado da AV. Ipiranga), ainda tem MUIIIITA coisa pra se ver do lado de cá, mas fiquei com medo de me perder e já tava ficando cansado de andar. Em breve posto mais. Mais uma vez deixo a dica... Para os interessados em vir para cá, cadastre-se em www.dell.com pra que eu posso encaminhar pro RH a indicação. Abraço a todos e até o próximo post onde estarei mostrando um pouco do que eu for conhecendo em POA e na Argentina pra onde estarei indo em breve. []s Gutemberg Ribeiro April 17 Rumo a Dell em Porto Alegre
Bom dia a todos!
