With the launch of VS.NET 2003, there’s a bunch of new architecture information from Microsoft. A whole new Pattern Repository site is up, featuring patterns for web presentation, deployment, distributed systems and performance and reliability. All of the patterns have communities – check out the Community Resources for Architecture and Design on GotDotNet, including areas on Enterprise Architecture, Application Architecture, Systems Architecture and Patterns and Templates. Tools like a TDL Policy Editor and new Enterprise Templates are also available.

I’ve updated my SharePoint RSS Feed Generator to version 0.2. Primary new feature: RSS feeds for individual lists. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m on vacation next week, so v0.3 will be a while. Current top features being considered for v0.3 are an OPML feed and modifying the WSS UI to include links to RSS feeds (both web feeds and list feeds).

I’ve also been working on a tool to help me explore the Windows SharePoint database. Any interest in that?

100′s of unread blog entries, 100′s of new emails, no new posts on DevHawk.net. It’s almost like I’ve been offline at a team meeting in Vegas for three days. Actually, it’s exactly like that. Next week will be more of the same, as I’m on vacation (taking my son Patrick to meet his Great-Grandmother). So today is my big chance to get caught up on everything.
