2007 Microsoft Office Is A Serious Application Platform

  • Artikel

Forrester Research recently published a report that describes 2007 Microsoft Office system as a developer platform. The report, titled “Developers, Get Ready: 2007 Microsoft Office Is A Serious Application Platform” discusses the system as a strong alternative to custom desktop applications built using Windows Forms and a good platform for collaborative Windows desktop applications. 

“In Forrester’s experience, the majority of the Microsoft developer community works with Microsoft’s base platforms and Visual Studio tools and views Office as an add-on, while a smaller community sees Office as the Microsoft development platform. Microsoft’s goal is to make Office a first-class component of a broad “application platform” alongside .NET Framework, SQL Server, SharePoint Server, and BizTalk Server.”

Looking at the huge list of notable links and resources (Free SharePoint Web Parts (3rd Party), Office 2007 resources, SharePoint Tools, SDKs & Guides, SharePoint Service Packs, HowTo's and Tips, SharePoint Resources (Microsoft) and SharePoint Resources (Non-MS)) that Mark Kruger has collected on his blog I can only agree with the report: Microsoft Office is a Serious Application Platform!
