Composite in Microsoft Technical Adoption Program.
As one of the selected very few companies world-wide, Composite as been invited by Microsoft to enter their Technical Adoption Program (TAP). This program is managed by Microsoft Corp in Redmond – and as you can see from the official Microsoft illustration below, only a very few companies are invited at this early stage:
What does it mean?
TAP is a program for the most advanced Microsoft Partners worldwide. Invitations are given as recognition of technical excellence. For Composite it means – apart from the obvious cool thing about being invited – that we will have the upcoming technologies from Microsoft available a lot earlier than anybody else in the business.
In fact, we have two developers in Redmond as you read this, to discuss .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 10 with Microsoft's development team. On a monthly basis, Composite will provide feedback to the Corporate Development Team at Microsoft directly. So, who knows… Perhaps, Composite will have a saying or two on the upcoming Visual Studio and .NET framework.
One thing is certain: Composite will have the best of opportunities for staying in front on the technical battlefield – just like we are today!
From Composite, Mikkel Sørensen and Martin Ingvar Jensen are visiting Microsoft Corp. You can read about all their experiences at Mikkel's blog on my.composite.net – and provide feedback, if there is anything you like him to ask Bill while there.
