Announcing new tools and assistance for BCM Developers

B

Bret [MS]

Today we are announcing a set of new tools to assist you in developing
Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager solutions and customizing BCM for
you and your customers. This is part of an overall push to the Development
Community to assist in the development of add-ons and customizations for
Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager. More tools and aids will be
available in the future, as this effort gathers steam. BCM Developers now
have at their disposal:

1. A separate and dedicated News Group for development-centric
discussions and issues. This News Group will be monitored by the BCM
Product Group so that your issues and questions can get resolved in a timely
manner. The newsgroup is microsoft.public.outlook.bcm.developers.

2. A dedicated mailbox for BCM Developers that is monitored by the BCM
Product Group where you can send specific questions and issues that you may
not want to share with the public News Group. The e-mail address for this
is "(e-mail address removed)".

3. The BCM Team Blog on MSDN Blogs. This is where common themes and
issues raised in the community will be gathered and publicized. From time
to time we will be publishing articles specifically targeted towards the
Development Community. The Blog is http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm/.

4. The BCM area on MSDN. Here we provide information and tools to
assist your development efforts. It will be expanded upon in the future as
we move on to incorporate more sample code, white papers and instructions.
The MSDN area for BCM is
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa431857.aspx.

5. A dedicated Live Webcast every other month where specific topics
and issues will be addressed. Guest Speakers from within the Product Group
and from within the Development Community will present topics that help you
succeed in developing add-ons for BCM and customizing your BCM
installations. A pilot event was held today, and a link to the materials
presented will be provided shortly to the BCM Developers News Group. The
next event will take place in June and information will be announced to the
Developer News Group when available.

We in the BCM Product Group are very excited about this push to assist the
BCM Development Community.
