A Big Day
May 23rd, 2006Well, I haven’t written a whole lot about the work I’ve been doing up here in Seattle and I figured now would be a great time to start. In just a few hours Patrick Halstead and Shiraz Cupala will be demoing a solution that I have played a big part in to about 10 big players in the Procurement Group at Microsoft. The solution is called Resource Tracker and it is a project management suite built on InfoPath, SharePoint, and a new technology we have invented - Database Accelerator (aka DBXL). For the demo today it is mainly to show how DBXL works and the cool features it has, but we have been using it internally (which is called ‘dogfooding’ your software) for a while and things are finally starting to come together.
I’m incredibly excited and a little nervous at the same time. It’s awesome that something I’ve been working on is going to be demoed to such a key group in the software world. If they like it and want to hire us to make custom solutions with DBXL it will be even better!
