Anyone who has taken a formal college education in computer science or software engineering will have most likely taken a class entitled "Data Structures". When I took this class in 1994 these concepts were presented using the Modula-2 programming language and then we moved on to using the C programming language.

EE Times published an article yesterday explaining that ARM will have the majority of MID sales until 2014.  Shockingly, I'm not too worried that anyone working on Atom or MID development is going to abandon ship. First, ...2014?  I'd love to know what is going to be happening by the end of this year, let alone [...]

I just found a website for the Microsoft Architect Insight Conference 2008 that just concluded in the UK on April 29th and the slides for the architecture conference are now available here.

Network access for Distributed Transaction Manager (MSDTC) has been disabled.
