I love developing functions, controls and business apps with Excel. I think Excel is one of the most revolutionary products for business in the last 30 years. So I am always using the developer tab. I skipped Excel/Office 2003 and in Excel/Office 2007 & 2010 you have to enable the developer tab.
I upgraded recently to Office 2010 and need to create a button in Excel and behold MS moved the developer check box. I almost cried (ok not really)…
A little bit of a search and you can find the instructions here (also tells you how to enable on Office 2010/2007) or just use my walk through.

Microsoft reveled this week Visual Studio LightSwitch, which is a rapid application development (RAD) environment for business applications. Or simply a really cool code generator. I think this is a great product idea for a few reasons and mostly because I do RAD or at least try to do RAD business apps.

I decided or maybe have been forced to move from VB.NET to C# because it is just easier to find resources. Like a man starving or thirsty, I am going where the food and water seems to be. No matter how much I really like VB.NET and it very readable syntax C# has the mindshare behind it at Microsoft.

I love how s0me of the tech press keeps saying “Is there room for one more?”, in regards to Windows Phone 7. It is a bit funny to me how they talk about the iPhone and Android, but then gloss over RIM and Nokia to point to Palms lack of traction in the market as proof that WP7 is DOA on arrival.
