Geekmas: What I wish I’d known

The year 2013 was good for me in sense of learning tools & technology, I was able to steal some time from my wife’s time to learn about latest technology. I did some awesome stuff like –

• Windows 8 app development.
• Published some apps in Windows Store.
• Develop some management pack for System Center. 
• Extensively use of team foundation server.
• Big data analysis.
• Attended so many course on Plural Sight, Google and Microsoft Virtual Academy.
• So many other technical and non-technical things.

However above things are not enough to keep you up to date if you are in technology business, Here is the list of thing I wished but couldn’t –

1. I wish I’d know more about business analytic tools and technology like Power BI and some excel tools for analyze big data using power query, power map and pivot table, so I could search, discover, analyse, give shape and transform complex data into stunning interactive visualizations that uncover hidden insights and share this from anywhere, on any device with Power BI for Office 365 to my clients.
   More disappointing either no one talking about these tools from UKTechnet team or I missed these information.
2. I wish I’d know more about System Center and Power Shell in depth so I’ll able to implement performance & operational monitoring of our enterprise banking software.
   Due to complexity, configuration and limited customization in System center we were not able to achieve our goal and we have to choose another third party vendor to implement performance & operational monitoring.
3. I wish I’d know before beginning of year 2013 about free MCP exam of Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 I missed this free MCP exam due to late registration of this course on MVA. MVA was providing free voucher code for this MCP exam after completing the Developing in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 Jump Start free MVA course.
4. I wish I’d know in advance about free developer camps so I could plan to migrate my all Windows Store apps to Windows Phone store and in that way I can learn more about Windows Phone app development. This is the best way of learning by doing. Good thing is now Microsoft not charging separately for Windows Store and Windows Phone store.
5. At the end of this year I realized I am not utilizing my MSDN subscription and Windows Azure allowance benefit, there are tons of stuff and I were not able to use 10% of that, I wish Microsoft should provide some time to use their tools and technology.
6. This year I missed TechEd Europe 2013 Premiere Event due to some other high priority stuff, I was waiting for this event from the beginning but sometime something not in your hand, looking forward for TechEd Europe 2014.
7. I wish I’d have some extra time so I can try to pass at least one Microsoft certification exam but due to busy year this time I was not able to achieve this.

I hope this year I’ll finish my unfinished 2013 task and for new stuff @TechNetUK and @msdevUK gang will never put me down and provide all the information on or before time so I’ll not miss anything in year 2014

Wishing Happy New Year to MSDN/Technet team and readers.

My Anywhere Working Tips

Working from anywhere is interesting and challenging task to anyone. Before moving to UK I was working for an US based IT firm and helping my father in his small business from a remote location. My role was a Senior Developer and responsibilities are write high quality code, mentoring junior developers, fixing bugs, participate in weekly team meeting and deliver the product to customer on timely fashion. Apart from this my father also need my help in his IT work.

Working from anywhere is always fun, flexibility, increase productivity and save money, apart from this you can save the environment and most important you are always near to your family.

Here are some tips for “Working from anywhere based on my real experience. You need a Laptop with good configuration and required software according to your work nature. Please respect your company policy. Don’t do anything if your company policy is not allowing and always use genuine software.

1. Mentally prepared – you should mentally prepare about this and your family member should also know you are working at home for office (employer) only.
2. Internet Connection – Use high speed internet connection. Your employer has some expectation from you for your productivity and better communication and collaboration. Sometimes you need to send or receive large files or download software, it’s always good to save time whenever possible otherwise you’ll waste lot of time to send and receive or download software with slow internet connection.
3. Communication – In my case I was using Skype with unlimited US & India subscription to communicate with my team in US & India and setup weekly meeting with call conferencing. Use any VOIP software according to your company policy. Emails are very important to maintain contact with team and most of the time it’s only recording purpose, if possible make a call to team or person instead of sending email if you required prompt response or your task is blocking.
4. Email client – instead of checking email on browser use any good email client software and set alerts. You’ll get notification whenever you receive any email so no need to check email every 30 minute or so for checking email. In my case I was using Microsoft Outlook.
5. Organizer – Use organizer and scheduler to track your meeting or conference or any other activity during work. It’ll remind you in advance so you can plan accordingly. Again for me Microsoft Outlook is best option.
6. Collaboration – You need to collaborate your team very frequently. If you are working on same project so everyone should know the work status. In this case I was using Google docs to see the real time status of task. Whenever we are fixing bugs we were also maintaining an excel sheet in Google docs and shared with team every member updates this sheet and everyone automatically get notification for updates.
7. Online storage – Use online storage solution to store files. Sometime email is not sufficient to send files so you need some online storage solution. I was using Skydrive and Dropbox to upload setup build or other document and shared with team so they can access it. Skydrive gives you 25 GB free online storage.
8. Source Control – Setup source control system in your company if not already installed. Use source control for versioning & history purpose. I recommended this system because it also keeps your everyday backup and you can track your changes.
9. Finally remove strain by talking or chatting to friends, use Facebook, stretch yourself, do small walk in regular interval, wash your eyes with cold water and listen instrumental music while working.

Enjoy Working from anywhere 🙂

Microsoft Case Studies: 3M

3M

3M Ports Library Software to Latest Operating System; Improves Performance, Usability

The Track and Trace Solutions Department of 3M, a Fortune 500 company, provides radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions. One such solution is the 3M™ RFID System, which is used by nearly 1,000 libraries and other facilities. To ensure customers can easily transition to and quickly benefit from the Windows® 7 operating system, 3M recently migrated its library RFID applications from Windows Vista® to run on Windows 7. The applications have nearly 2 million lines of code, yet it took just two days to verify the migration results—and no modifications to the applications were needed. As a result, 3M has noted enhanced security and reliability, and application performance improvements of up to 30 percent. Library patrons and staff should realize enhanced ease of use and productivity, strong support services, and simple deployments.

Situation

3M, a Fortune 500 company with global revenues of U.S.$25 billion and operations in more than 60 countries, offers products for a variety of markets, from healthcare to transportation to office supply. Its Track and Trace Solutions Department provides library solutions that use radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to nearly 1,000 libraries worldwide.

The 3M™ RFID System includes the 3MTM Conversion Station, 3M SelfCheck™ System R-Series, 3M Pad Staff Workstation, and 3M Digital Data Manager. These products streamline library tasks, simplify how patrons check books in and out, and help librarians work more efficiently to provide enhanced customer service. The company bundles some of the applications with hardware developed by third-party manufacturers and installs other applications on hardware already installed at customer sites. Renowned for providing innovative products to libraries for more than 35 years, 3M continually seeks out information technology advancements that can enhance its development and deployment processes while maximizing customer benefits.

“We design our products to improve productivity, making traditionally time-consuming library tasks nearly effortless,” says Paul Sevcik, the Senior Product Development Specialist who manages development and enhancement projects for the Library Systems Laboratory in 3M Track and Trace Solutions. “Greater productivity is one of the key ways in which customers measure return on investment. We look for new technologies that can help make library patron and staff experiences easier and faster.”

With that in mind, in 2007, 3M migrated applications in its RFID solution for libraries from the Windows® XP operating system to the Windows Vista® operating system. And then in February 2009, when 3M learned about the upcoming availability of the Windows 7 operating system, it migrated again to run on Windows 7.

“We need to support the operating systems that our customers are using. Because we believe that many of them will move to Windows 7, we want to make sure our RFID solutions will be ready to run on it as soon as our customers need them to,” says Steve Bartingale, Lab Manager for 3M Track and Trace Solutions. “We had heard about the great performance, reliability, and security benefits that Windows 7 offers, and it made sense to take advantage of them.”

Bartingale was somewhat concerned because the system installation process can present challenges during a software migration. “There are different ways that applications can be registered with the operating system, different places where files can be located, and different means by which users can authorize installations. As a result, migrating applications to run on a new operating system can be a complex process. We were hopeful that only minimal changes would be needed during the migration from Windows Vista to Windows 7,” Bartingale says.

3M also wanted to minimize the development resources that would be required for the migration. “We want to focus our time on building features that support customers’ needs, rather than expend resources to gain compatibility with Windows 7,” adds Sevcik.

Solution

In May 2009, 3M began migrating to Windows 7 with NathCorp, a Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner that specializes in developing and migrating applications. NathCorp had helped 3M with the previous operating system migration. The companies had followed Microsoft best practices when migrating to Windows Vista, and NathCorp believed the applications would also work well in Windows 7. According to Raj Nath, CEO of NathCorp, though migrating from

Windows XP to Windows Vista was complex, the migration process resulted in more reliable and secure applications. Migrating the 3M applications from Windows Vista to Windows 7 would be much easier.

Nath says, “Even though there are close to 2 million lines of code in the 3M software, we thought the migration would be relatively simple, and we were right. We found one of the benefits of an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 is that applications migrate cleanly, with virtually minimal effort.”

Rather than having to go through an extensive migration process, 3M and NathCorp simply validated one of the 3M RFID applications on Windows 7 Beta, conducting usability and stability tests to confirm functionality. As a starting point, they ran the applications in Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0 to determine whether there would be any application compatibility issues and, if there were, what kind of effort would be needed to remediate them. The two companies also used the Code Coverage tools in the Microsoft Visual Studio® Team System 2008 Development Edition development system to ensure that Digital Data Manager was tested for compatibility when running in Windows 7. They uncovered no problems. “We verified that the application worked on Windows 7 without any modification, which wasn’t surprising. Once an application runs in Windows Vista, it also runs in Windows 7,” Nath says.

In fact, the verification process—which was all that was needed to ensure a successful migration—took only two days for three IT staff workers to complete. “Moving to Windows 7 was expedient,” Bartingale adds. “The project went very well due to the strong application migration expertise and customer focus of NathCorp.”

Now that the final release of Windows 7 is available, 3M will conduct test cases to corroborate the results from its beta testing and confirm that its applications work seamlessly with the 3M RFID reader hardware and software. 

Benefits

By migrating its products to run on the Windows 7 operating system, 3M expects to streamline how it manages and deploys the 3M Radio Frequency Identification applications, strengthen customer service, and simplify the circulation of library materials and check-in/check-out processes for its customers.

“We design our products to be intuitive and easy for our customers to use,” says Sevcik. “The performance, security, and interface enhancements in Windows 7 enable a richer, more satisfying user experience.”

Improve Performance and the User Experience

3M notes that some of its library applications perform faster on Windows 7 than they do on previous operating systems. For example, in lab tests, 3M Digital Data Manager performed up to 30 percent faster than it did in the Windows Vista environment. This improvement is important because libraries often use the application to process large lists, which can consume a lot of system resources.

Using the Windows Touch capabilities in Windows 7, 3M can make it even easier for library customers to use its products, many of which rely on touch technology for intuitive data input. “The user experience is incredibly important. Anything we can do to make it simpler for patrons and library staff to use our systems is critical,” Sevcik notes.

Nath adds, “Because multi-touch capabilities are built into Windows 7, it will be much easier for developers to incorporate expanded touch functionality into 3M products.”

Enhanced Security and Customer Service

The security enhancements that are built into Windows 7 include improvements to User Account Control, which help 3M protect against threats from viruses and enable inherently stable, reliable applications. “By running applications in nonadministrator mode, we can deliver a standard user environment and make our systems even more secure,” says Sevcik.

3M customers rely upon the world-class service that the company is known for. By using the Windows 7 Problem Steps Recording tool to capture the sequence of an end user’s clicks and have that data sent automatically to its customer support organization, 3M can more easily pinpoint and resolve customer issues. “Our services organization is one of the main points of differentiation separating 3M from the competition. With this new technology, we can strengthen our strong customer product support and serviceability, giving us even greater leverage in the market and optimizing user satisfaction,” says Bartingale.

Easier Management and Deployment

“One of the Windows 7 innovations most relevant for 3M is that touch capabilities are built directly into the operating system,” Nath notes. This can make it easier for 3M to manage and support applications because it no longer needs to depend on third-party tools for this technology. It also means that 3M can take advantage of enhanced touch technology in its next generation of library products.

The Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool that is built into Windows 7 enables 3M to create and modify software images offline without having to run them on target computers. This can help simplify and speed the process of adding new features to existing applications so that customers can more quickly benefit from the new capabilities. “Using the new imaging management capabilities can help improve deployment and installation for our manufacturing group,” says Bartingale.

Sevcik sums up, “We expect Windows 7 will help us meet our goal of continually providing the industry’s most advanced, intuitive library solutions.”

Windows 7
Works the way you want: Windows 7 will help your organization use information technology to gain a competitive advantage in today’s new world of work. Your people will be able to be more productive anywhere. You will be able to support your mobile workforce with better access to shared data and collaboration tools. And your IT staff will have better tools and technologies to enhance corporate IT security, data protection, and more efficient deployment and management.
