Microsoft Application Development in Increasingly
Hybrid and Open Source Programming Environments

Microsoft Development Platforms

A fundamental shift is underway at Microsoft Corporation. Changes in customer computing requirements, advancements in hardware technology, software being marketed in conjunction with vertically integrated hardware, and increasingly stringent regulations enacted by nation states to ensure competition, have all contributed to a decline in the relative position and impact of several Microsoft software products. Unlike its first quarter century of business where Microsoft was looking to aggressively acquire and control a well defined market for its software, it must now defend declining and static market share with the Windows family of operating systems, Internet Explorer web browser, MS Office Suite applications, and MS SQL Server database. Microsoft is pursuing flexible parallel paths with its software and service initiatives based upon an entirely new set of assumptions. Its strategy is a competitive response to the viability and growth of freeware and open source software, increased use of software as a service, the emergence of cloud computing as new market, and the success of the Google business model.

Microsoft remains committed to the Windows family operating system franchise and upgrading its programming language and development platforms. In the early 1990’s Microsoft Corporation adapted the C, C++, and BASIC programming languages into its commercial Windows development platforms, SDKs, and visual studios. The software was well received, extensively utilized, and commanded a leading share of their respective markets. Twenty or so years later, there is a requirement for maintenance programming with MS Visual C++ and Visual Basic and transitioning to a web-based architecture: .NET or open source Java. In conjunction with manual coding, refactoring tools are being used.

The Phone 7 development platform and Visual Studio 2010 are significant application development initiatives undertaken by Microsoft. Microsoft is working on a database for Linux and UNIX developed on the PostGreSQL9.0 base code. This new database will be open source under a MS-PL: Microsoft Public License and available free of charge. It will also have a SQL Server emulation layer. The assumption is that Microsoft will use SharePoint and Windows Server 2008 to leverage and extend acceptance of these platforms.1

Mobile Devices - Windows Phone 7 Operating System

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system provides the capability for receiving updates from social networks and messaging services. It also allows users to personalize the look and feel of their phones. Microsoft has been criticized for its failure to read changing trends in the market and inability to deliver software and developer platforms which meets consumer requirements. Microsoft stated strategy is to introduce a new app marketplace for the Windows Phone 7 platform to compete with the Apple iPhone and Android operating systems. Towards that end, Microsoft is working with partner developers to build mobile applications for the new devices. Even for Microsoft, this will be challenging. The leading development platforms are Apple iPhone and open source Google Android. Both have a significant headstart on Microsoft in terms of applications already on the market, distribution channels, and market share. A high percentage of young software developers have elected to embrace free open source software. From a practical standpoint, Microsoft is just getting started.

Consumers will be able to integrate the new phones with Microsoft products: Zune music and video content, the Bing search engine, MS OneNote software and the Xbox gaming platform. Some developers have announced plans to build games that can be played on both the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7.

The lifestyle behavior of consumption is changing. Consumers are actively engaged with mobile devices: searching the web and making purchase decisions on the go. The smartphone and mobile device market is substantial and growing. Software that can provide an integrated device and user experience should command market share.


Developing, Generating, and Deploying the Code

Facility Functionality
Visual Studio Device development can be performed using data designers, user interface designers, and a debugger. Support is included for a developer to view application presentations across different screen orientations, resolutions, and devices.
API: Application Programming Interface A consistent API in the Windows Mobile family allows a single application to run across Windows Mobile devices independent of the device manufacturer or mobile operator.
NET Compact Framework Service Pack All Windows Mobile 5.0-6.0 devices have the .NET Compact Framework Service Pack installed in ROM. This provides a consistent target platform for managed application deployment.
Core Device Features and Managed APIs Most core device features expose managed APIs - messaging, telephony, and Outlook Mobile. This serves to make them directly accessible from managed code.

Testing and Debugging

Facility Functionality
Device Emulator Testing can be performed at the device level; this includes emulation states such as transitions between AC power and battery power and changes in battery charge level. Applications can be tested across a range of device form factors without having to purchase the device.
Coded UI Testing An application's behavior can be tested with Device Emulator in different cellular scenarios: incoming phone calls, incoming SMS messages, dropped phone calls, and dropped data connectivity.
Code Analysis Tools A GPS: Global Position System provides for the testing of location-enabled applications without needing access to a GPS device.

MS Visual Studio 2010

For Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and healthcare providers, there are a number of considerations that need to be evaluated as part of expanding a Microsoft code base, updating an information technology infrastructure, and developing application software to meet client requirements.

Developing, Generating, and Deploying the Code

Facility Functionality
Support for Multi-Monitor Provides an organized approach to using designers and editors simultaneously for writing application code.
SharePoint Development There are collaboration tools for web parts, lists, workflows, and events.
Windows 7 Development Built-in tools are available for the MS Windows 7 interface.
Deployment Tools Web applications can be distributed into a production environment: the code, IIS: Internet Information Server settings, and database schema transferred to the target server.

Testing and Debugging

Facility Functionality
Workflow and Guidance Test planning can be started in the architecture and designing stages. Test plans, test suites, and test cases with nesting capabilities can be created.
Coded UI Testing The capability is provided to automate user interface testing in web and Windows-based applications. Regression tests can be used to ensure that subsequent changes to the code do not break sections that already work.
Code Analysis Tools Tools can be used to ensure that common coding errors are identified and corrected. Code metrics measure the complexity of the code leading to a reduction in the complexity of the code and improving maintainability.


Microsoft Development Platform Training

SYS-ED's cadre of system consultants designed and coded the first generation of C, C++, and Visual Basic programs. This foundation and expertise is used to train employees from Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and healthcare providers to upgrade and migrate an existing investment in client/server infrastructure to .NET, and mobile device web apps.

Where SYS-ED excels is in providing educational consultancy - code reengineering, structured analysis, structured design, and structured programming. We provide coding, debugging, and optimization guidelines which are essential for meeting project deadlines. SYS-ED receives requests from software companies to train their software engineers and clients. Consulting companies have called upon SYS-ED training services for guidelines in repurposing information technology infrastructure to new development platforms. We selectively accept these assignments. It is our standard policy to qualify an assignment; review client documentation and standards, and incorporate that content into code snippets, examples, skeleton programs, and hands-on exercises. Few software or consulting companies have been teaching Microsoft development platforms longer or better in hybrid information technology than SYS-ED.

Courseware for Teaching

The Computer Education Techniques courseware used in SYS-ED courses consists of student hand-outs, training aids, and industry-specific examples and exercises. At the client discretion an industry standard textbook and accompanying presentation slides can be utilized. The CETi knowledge base aggregates and analyzes information in the public domain. It also is a service for reviewing and answering questions. Content is selectively added to courseware.

Programming Language Training in New York

MS Application Development Language Courses in New York
SYS-ED's programming language courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" MS application development platform training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and healthcare providers to meet their staffing requirements and acquire specialized expertise with MS scripting languages, Visual C++ and MFC, and mobile device programming. 2

Courseware
SYS-ED's courseware is highly respected in the IT field. We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach Microsoft development platforms - first generation, .NET architecture / languages, and migration to Java - across the MS Windows family of operating system and internetworking environments.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide quality computer training for highly motivated professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad experience as consultants. Our staff has been working with MS development platforms since their initial release. We teach not only "how to", but "why", offering insights into subject matter. After a course, we answer student questions from back on the job.

Enrollment - SYS-ED Programming Language Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED programming language course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is ONLY allowed to register if they have the background corresponding to the appropriate learning path.

Programming Languages Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED MS application development courses are held at our training center in Manhattan and in conjunction with CETi Technology Partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange distance-learning or tailored instructor-led classroom instruction on-site at your organization’s facilities. On-site programming language courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the Microsoft development platform training that we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.
