InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft at its Professional Developers Conference 2003 event in Los Angeles in two weeks will shed light on "Indigo," which is the company's upcoming Web services applications framework. The company also will discuss the planned "Yukon" release of SQL Server and the upcoming "Whidbey" releases of ASP.Net and Visual Studio.
Indigo is described on the Microsoft PDC Web site as a programming model and framework for building connected applications and Web services. The technology is built on top of Microsoft's WS protocols, which are a suite of specifications that the company claims will power the next phase of the Internet.
