Grégory Renard: Le futur du Web

Nous discutons avec Grégory Renard de l'évolution du Web à court et moyen terme. Entre autres, nous abordons en quoi les technologies comme Silverlight, le GPS et les agents conversationnels influenceront positivement le futur du Web.

Grégory Renard, mieux connu sous le pseudo de Rédo au sein des communautés .NET Francophones, est reconnu comme Microsoft Regional Director et Microsoft MVP depuis de nombreuses années. Grégory a débuté sa carrière en 96 dans le domaine recherche pédagogique appliquée aux nouvelles technologies. Créant sa première société en 1997 dans ce domaine, il est chargé en parallèle de cours en enseignement supérieur dans les domaines du .NET, de l'e-Gestion et du e-Commerce. Aujourd'hui, Grégory est CTO et responsable de la Recherche et Innovation au sein du bureau d'étude et d'expertise .NET Wygwam dont il est co-fondateur. Sa participation en qualité de speaker et/ou participants dans de nombreux évènements Microsoft ou du monde du Libre à l'échelle mondiale lui permet de garder une vision stratégique de long terme sur les technologies et leurs usages. Cette vision et expérience est ainsi mises à profit dans chacun des projets gérés par l'équipe Wygwam. Blog : http://blogs.developpeur.org/redo

GoDaddy now offers .CA domain names

I buy my domain names at GoDaddy.com mostly because I have total control on the DNS and MX records, not for their somewhat questionable ads.  However, I had to buy my .CA domains from someone else because they didn't offered them but yesterday, I found that they are now offering .CA domains.  Nice!
