Microsoft Offers Services for Web Services


Developer site gives guidance, tools for creation of .NET applications



June 1, 2001 — 
In an effort to drive more developers to its .NET strategy, Microsoft has created the Hosted Application Development Community, a developer Web site with advice, guidance and tools to ease the transition into the new environment.

The Web-based community (www.microsoft.com/asp) will supply ISVs and enterprise developers with the technical and business knowledge, support and guidance to be able to build their applications to be run on Microsoft's .NET servers, according to the company. Bulletins, white papers, case studies, video presentations and a newsgroup are among the particulars being offered in order to help move ISVs into the .NET environment. Also, members will receive tools such as a UDDI SDK and SOAP toolkit for Visual Studio 6.0 for the creation of Web services to be built on the platform.

"ISVs have told us they recognize that the future is in the software-as-a-service model and that it will take a new generation of hosted applications to get there," Dwight Krossa, Microsoft's director of emerging business, said in a statement.

According to the company, ISVs that are Microsoft Certified Partners will receive a free trial period of access to a hosted application specialist who will offer consulting regarding architecture, design, development or deployment issues through the end of this month. After the trial period, the advisory service will be available at a standard rate of $195 per hour.
