Apologies to regular readers for the lack of blog activity recently, this isn’t a lack of inspiration, just a lack of time.

A quick count shows I have 67 posts in draft form (and several ideas in my head). However, I’ve been quite busy on a consultancy project recently while juggling all the usual work activities.

Several events, including Code Generation 2009, have been filling my ‘spare’ time leaving little time for blogging. Hopefully normal service will be resumed in 2009.

The next SPA Cambridge event will see Jean-Marc Prieur of Microsoft speak about Visual Studio Extensibility. The event takes place at Microsoft Research Cambridge from 19:00 on 10th December.

Synopsis

Microsoft Visual Studio provides a great set of development tools out of the box, but you may be surprised at how much more you can do with its rich extensibility platform. In this introductory session, we will give you a whirlwind tour of what the Visual Studio Extensibility (VSX) platform has to offer and how you can take advantage of it. Whether you are looking to increase you development team’s productivity, or you are looking for new business opportunities on the Visual Studio platform, this technical session will help you get started.
