It’s taken HOW MANY YEARS?

Now, if your hosting provider installs it, you can use “Pretty URLs” with Wordpress, and many others.

How long have we wanted the equivalent of Linux .htaccess rewrite rules?

You can read more about it at http://iis.net

Read about Microsoft’s Code protection technology here.

It’s not your father’s obfuscation. It’s called Secure Virtual Machine (SVM), purportedly to be a one-way transformation.

If it’s really secure, then perhaps my customers may embrace the Dot Net platform, because up until now, obfuscation was insufficient to prevent reverse engineering.

Microsoft had supplied a lame version of an Obfuscator along with Visual Studio, but if you wanted the (almost) good stuff, you were out $1000 bucks per developer seat! That;s more then VS itself.

So it’s about time.  hope it’s for real. the DotNet platform has so much promise, protecting IP has been what’s stopping it’s adoption for commercial softer.

Now… we have to find out what the commercial version costs.  The free download is for evaluation only, it only will do three functions (boo hiss!)

While all are invited, this roundtable will be of special interest for those
who have been taking June Hollister’s Online Business Classes.  The
objectives are:

 To share what is and isn’t working for each participant
 To critique each other’s sites (if so desired)
 To elicit ideas on improvements
 Other brainstorming topics

This is a Roundtable, not a class or course.  We will view sites live online
of those who want to participate so that the group can discuss.
Participants are welcome to bring their laptops to take notes, and in case
your site isn’t published to the web yet.  Please feel free to bring
anything: handouts, notes, questions, etc. that may be of benefit to the
group.
