In case you don't get this email

I sent an email to around 10,000 developers in INDC. Actually I have to mission:

- Validate member emails
- Get feedbacks regarding our activities in Indonesia developer communities.

Many people responded and give very good input to me but I do want to know more.

Dear Developer,

Selamat memulai tahun 2008 dan terima kasih atas semua kerjasama dan hubungan yang telah terjalin selama 2004-2007 melalui komunitas developer. Di Microsoft, fokus saya adalah membantu developer perjalanan bisnis maupun teknologi.

Banyak sekali kesuksesan yang sudah diraih oleh developer Indonesia selama ini, dan itu akan menjadi tolak ukur saya untuk menentukan arah perjalanan berikutnya. Fondasi utama dalam ekosistem software suatu negara adalah adanya komunitas developer handal.  Dan saya sangat bangga mengatakan bahwa, kita memiliki Indonesia .NET Developer Community (INDC) yang telah menunjukkan kepemimpinan dan komitmen terhadap penyebaran pengetahuan software berbasis .NET teknologi di Indonesia melalui mailing list, blogs, forum diskusi dan e-book. Keinginan berbagi pengetahuan, kerja keras dan komitmen semua anggota komunitas adalah kunci keberhasilan INDC, yang menciptakan efek viral dan melahirkan banyak developer handal yang sudah berkarya di dalam dan luar negeri.

Selain kesuksesan, masih banyak hal yang harus dibenahi dalam ekosistem software Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah kualitas developer dan perusahaan pengembang software (ISV) untuk siap bersaing di kompetisi global. Walaupun beberapa developer dan ISV lokal sudah mulai menunjukkan kemampuan global, secara rata-rata porsinya dalam ekosistem dunia masih sangat kecil. Ekosistem software Indonesia juga belum mampu menarik venture capital yang diharapkan mampu mendorong pertumbuhannya. Fokus terhadap kualitas dan venture capital ini adalah misi kami di Microsoft untuk software ekosistem Indonesia.

Kami sangat memahami bahwa tantangan terbesar bagi software developer saat ini adalah bagaimana mengikuti perkembangan dan inovasi teknologi pengembangan software yang sangat cepat. Dengan hadirnya Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, .NET Framework 3.0, Visual Studio 2008, .NET Framework 3.5, ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, dan berbagai framework, saya ingin mendapat masukan yang konkrit bagaimana Microsoft Indonesia dapat membantu anda sebagai developer untuk terus mengikuti perkembangan teknologi tersebut. Beberapa program telah kami lakukan seperti .NET Clinic, MSDN Day, Online Competition, dan e-Books, tetapi dengan email ini saya sangat berharap dapat memperoleh masukan langsung dari semua anggota komunitas INDC. 

Berikut ini adalah link yang penting untuk developer.

Windows Live API Map

Not too big in term of size, but not too many people explore it.

Welcome to Parallel Computing

Microsoft established the Parallel Computing Initiative, which encompasses the vision, strategy, and innovative developments for delivering natural and immersive personal computing experiences, harnessing the compute power of manycore architecture. If you read open letter from S. Somasegar, Corporate VP, Developer Division, we are serious going into that direction.

Below is my previous postings about parallelism.

Parallel is the next wave?
Concurrency = Parallelism + Distributed?
Parallel Programming Literatures
.NET Multicore for a PhD Research?
Performance Programmer in Yogja??
Getting Started with OpenMP
For you who are new to Paralellism

I played with OpenMP and MPI before, and now I have a new one, Intel TBB. I also play with PLINQ sometime back. I will share with you if I have time.

Intel® Threading Building Blocks (TBB) offers a rich and complete approach to expressing parallelism in a C++ program. It is a library that helps you take advantage of multi-core processor performance without having to be a threading expert. Threading Building Blocks is not just a threads-replacement library. It represents a higher-level, task-based parallelism that abstracts platform details and threading mechanism for performance and scalability.

C5 Generic Collection Library

C5 is a cool library of generic collection classes for C#. If you need some data structures that you can't find in System.Collection.Generic, you can count this library. Persistent tree, heap based priority queues, hash indexed array lists and linked lists, etc are there. C5 is designed with a strict policy of supporting "code to interface not implementation". See Peter explanation in Channel9 and get the C5 here.

Have fun with it :).

Native C++ "How Do I ?"

This posting is dedicated to Sagi, my student at MIC, who learn native C++.

First, learn the language from Stroustrup and Lippman. Those 2 C++ language books are mandatory for developers. It will take 1-2 month to complete C++ language course depends to your speed, then explore some industry standard libraries like STL in VC++ compiler (You can you STL Port if you prefer to), Boost, Win32 API, MFC, and ATL. It will takes another 3-6 months, also depends to your speed :). STL and Boost can encapsulate your stratch algorithm and data structure experiences into consistent API model.

To help you in learning (language + libraries), I recommend the "How Do I" videos from Visual C++ team (MSDN). Those videos (54, around 2.2 GB) designed for Visual C++ developers, from the novice to the professional. Check back often or subscribe to the RSS feed to be notified when new videos are added every week.

For everyone who want to get "How Do I" C++ MSDN videos and sample codes, post your address as comments and I will manage to send you burned DVD version.

Happy 2008 and welcome to C++ world.

Ciao, RAM

Thanks for a Great 2007, Welcome 2008!

December 13, 2004, Geeks blogs portal launched with .Text engine. Here is my first post on Geeks at that time.

Blogs INDC akhirnya selesai juga

Now we are in Jan 1st, 2008. More than 3 years we have spent together in this beloved portal! I would like to thanks all of you who have contributed to this great community, directly or indirectly.

Many great things we have started and done here. Geeks portal is a playground for me, the first website I open when I start my work day, and also, the last website I close to finishing my work day. More than 1000 people visit geeks portal every day and constantly increasing because of you. If you read all Geeks blog posts, it is phenomenal !!!

Our first goal was to create a blogs portal just like blogs.msdn.com. And I am proudly let you know today that the goal is achieved. INDC developers now write in english, post world-class contents at the cutting edge of .NET technology, and show world-class developer quality. I do believe that now the world hears INDONESIA better!

Geeks, thank you for a great 2007 !

It is important to define what we will do together in 2008 before closing 2007. Many exciting projects already in execution mode. With great leaders, I believe it will happen.

Agus Kurniawan                     : Project OTAK 2008 Release (He is working today to release 1st book)
Narenda Wicaksono               : INDC Portal Re-engineering

I am fully support on those projects for sure, and this is a call for an action for us !. Other things that I plan to do with/for developer community are Windows Live Internal book with Agung Riyadi, Native C++ (Win32) Community with Agus Kurniawan and Software Architect Community with Norman Sasono and Dondy Bappedyanto. Another plan is to create the 1st basic science portal for University of Indonesia. You can imagine this as Channel9 but dedicated for basic science contents (Math, Computer Science, and Physics). 

I hope everyone of us here have good health, gain geeks passion and get a very good success in 2008. As developers, many things we can do.

Dan kuharus tertidur
Dan kuharus terjaga
Demi namamu terdengar ditelinga dunia

Thanks,

Risman Adnan
