For the last year, I've been working mostly on developer oriented topics involoving IIS 7. The team I work on has experts on topics like Powershell, Cardspace, Atlas, WWF, WPF, and I'm the iis guy. We've produced an applicaiton that shows off all these tecnologies working together in an application called Dinner Now. It has been posted to CodePlex and you can see it at http://www.codeplex.com/DinnerNow.

The IIS 7 portion is the copyright image handler that is documented on the End-to-End walkthrough on IIS.net under IIS7, Core. The applicaiton mimics an online service where you can order dinner to go from a variety of businesses and track the progress of the order. The handler puts a Dinner Now copyright on the pictures of the menu items offered by various restaurants.

It's a amibitious project and shows off the integration of various Microsoft technologies in a collaborative way we think is useful. Hopefully, you will too.

Thanks,

Brett
