As part of its efforts to help developers deal with those complexities and create leading-edge connected systems and Web services applications, Microsoft today released the first community technology preview (CTP) for "Indigo," the code name for the company's next-generation Web-services technology. Microsoft also made available the second CTP of "Avalon," the code name for Microsoft's unified graphics-presentation subsystem for Windows, as well as the latest version of the .NET Framework and a WinFX SDK, which provides a collection of documentation, samples and tools to support application development with "Indigo" and "Avalon."
The "Indigo" CTP will provide developers with a highly productive framework for building secure, reliable and interoperable applications. To explain this pre-beta release and how "Indigo" will help transform the face of Web services development, PressPass sat down with Ari Bixhorn, lead product manager of Web services strategy for Microsoft, to connect the dots.
