Вчера вышло первое обновление для Visual Studio 2012.
Бриан Харри на вчера своем докладе на конференции ALM Summit’12 говорил, что они стремятся уйти от сервис-паков и будут стараться выпускать апдейты каждые 3 месяца.

Эти обновления не только исправление ошибок и багов но и добавление нового функционала.

В первом апдейте добавлен новый функционал по Windows разработке, тестированию в SharePoint, ALM методологиям и тестированию.

Согласно статье Microsoft commits to delivering Windows 8 CRM app by mid-2013 с сайта www.zdnet.com сказано, что Mcrosoft обещает приложение Windows 8  CRM к середине 2013.

Правда говоря, есть только несколько скринов и насколько полноценным оно будет непонятно.

Microsoft раздает облачный TFS.

Подробности в статье TFS в Облаке: 5 пользователей бесплатно! на хабре.

Я пользуюсь этим сервисом со времен MS DevCon’12, когда это было TFS Preview и я очень надеялся, что они его не закроют.

Мне повезло…


The CRM Field Guide

1-го октября 20012 г. вышла в свет книга The CRM Field Guide, которую я бы перевел как «Руководство по CRM в полевых условиях».

Книга написана на английском языке и я сомневаюсь, она будет переведена.Так что учите английский, для разработчика Dynamics CRM это жизненно необходимо.

Выпущена она сообществом во главе с Юлией Як (Julie Yack).

Книга является собранием статей и рекомендаций группы людей являющихся MVP в области Microsoft Dynamics CRM и предъявляется как справочник, который всегда нужно иметь под рукой.

Авторы, которых немало, делятся опытом и предлагают свои решения, стратегии и рекомендации для разных аспектов работы с Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.

Книгу, в бумажном или электронном виде, можно купить на сайте www.crmfieldguide.com, что дешевле чем на Амазоне. А посетив пост об этой книге в блоге Юлии Як можно получить промо-коды со скидкой. Эти промо-коды можно использовать только при покупке книги на ее сайте.

Книга имеет 945 страниц и содержит 25 глав каждая из которой посвящена определенному вопросу.

  1. Основы Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 и базовые понятия.
  2. Установка и настройка CRM Server.

  • When you reply to an email message that was tracked in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, two entries are inserted in the ActivityPointerBase table incorrectly.
  • Custom error messages for software development kit (SDK) plug-ins are not displayed as expected. Instead, a generic error message that states that ISV code aborted the operation is displayed.

  • When you run the Set Regarding function in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 client for Outlook, you may receive a warning message that states that you do not have permissions to take this action.

Компания Microsoft видимо не была удовлетворена накопительным пакетом обновления 10 для Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 и выпустила его второй релиз.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2600643
Ссылка на скачивание http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=29221
Основные изменения это добавление поддержки Microsoft Office 2013 Preview, Windows 8 и Internet Explorer 10.
Также, улучшена производительность множественных запросов (multiple queries) и расширенного поиска (Quick Find).


В связи с тем, что время от времени мне необходимо понять какая версия CRM 2011 стоит у клиента и какие ему надо ставить обновления, а заодно скачать новый SDK или IG я создал специальную страничку Версии MS Dynamics CRM 2011, где выложил ссылки и версии самой CRM, дополнений к ней, всех существующих пакетов обновлений, SDK и т.д.

Постараюсь держать в актуальном состоянии.
