Microsoft demo day
I spent the day yesterday at Microsoft’s Irving campus at a demo day required by part-time Microsoft consulting gig. It was interesting, in it own way. Nice to be able to get together with everyone from the consulting gig, most of whom I rarely see in person. Nice to check out MS’s secured offices. Nice cafeteria for lunch.
I got a lot of ribbing for being an “Apple guy.” I had to try very hard to keep a straight face while the Microsoft guy explained how we really needed to watch out when the new Zune comes out this Fall. Um, yea.
I was a sales-oriented demo, specific to Dynamics AX. Not being a sales guy, it was a little lost on me. I spent the last hour implementing a .NET component to embed SQL Reporting Services reports into AX so they could be called from a menu and be more friendly to the user. This “magic” was demo’d as being possible, and I took the cue to figure out how.
