I read somewhere that nearly 80% of all data has some location-related aspect to it. Where are orders being shipped to, where are flood plains located and what rainfall amount are problematic for them, where are vendors and/or customers located, delivery routes, GPS tracking, where are voting districts located, where are the best hospitals located, where are the sales regions that produce the most revenue, and so on. It is highly likely that a significant portion of the data you work with has a location related aspect to it. Visually presenting this information could lead to better management decisions or possibly uncovering trends that were not evident before. It is important then that this information be presented using a location oriented approach. That is where Microsoft Virtual Earth fits in.
No, the title isn’t a misprint-this installment of the Baker’s Dozen will visit both sides of the planet. These days, many .NET user group meetings focus on database and business intelligence topics as well as hardcore .NET content. Over the last several months, I’ve spent roughly half my time modifying my own development framework for WCF. The result is some basic but functional factory classes I’d like to share. The other half of the time, I’ve been looking at different capabilities in the SQL Server 2005 and 2008 Business Intelligence stack, and solving requirements that BI developers often face. So rather than pick one side and make the other side wait two months, I decided to combine the two.
If you’ve ever needed to calculate the start of the new business quarter, adjust for Daylight Savings Time across multiple regions, or wondered where to host this logic, John’s article is for you.How many times have you found yourself in need of knowing what the next or previous business date is?What about the dates when a particular quarter begins and ends? Have you had to handle the thorny issue of daylight savings time (DST); when does DST begin and end for this or another year in the US, UK or some other region? And finally, once you have determined you have a need to calculate these various date values, where do you host that logic? This article answers those questions.

My clients are lucky. I have walked in the door and within a week, with no hardware changes, they saw their SharePoint installations running 400 percent faster than before. I know that’s a tall claim, but as a consultant with very wide exposure, I can say with some confidence that most SharePoint installations’ databases do not get the attention they deserve. Maybe it is a disciplinary thing, DBAs are usually not SharePoint experts, and SharePoint experts are usually not DBAs, so the poor SharePoint SQL Server is left alone to suffer under its default settings.
Shawn tells us how to use your browser (and those of your customers) as rich clients without plug-ins or ActiveX objects.
If you’ve got multiple data stores, you have to keep them synced or you’ve got trouble on your hands. Joydip makes it look easy using Sync Framework.
You’ve probably worked with PDFs. Did you know that you can create great interactive documents, like sign-in screens or usage agreement screens? John shows you how.
Sahil demonstrates more features of Git, this time covering Stash, using remote effectively to improve collaboration, forking and merging (the happy path), triangular workflow (using upstream) and managing/resolving conflicts.
Jason explores the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-generated visual content, using his journey from initial experiments with Midjourney to OpenAI's Sora as a case study.
