Creating an Installer

willydavidjr — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 07:51:00 GMT

It was a cool but tiring week for me last week. Our sites, modules, and our API were ready for RTM so I was assigned for creating an installer. I never tried the click once deployment and even creating an installer for instance. And I was assigned to create it for deployment, so we used InstallShield as our main framework for creating it. At first, my first impression was Wow! It was pretty cool but pretty tough. It was like creating a program using structure programming language which I was not familiar anymore. But as I go with the program and orientation, it was a pretty cool task. Although I really need to review and research a lot of things like how can you specify on the installer the inputs that will be made by the user and use those inputs for creating a file for connections strings on your XML file and other config file. You also need to use those inputs to check if a database exists and check for username and password. Indeed it was pretty tough but learning from new programs like these was a great experience. It was like shifting from OOP to Structure then back to OOP again. The experience was there and the attitude towards work gives me an improvement not to give up if there where cases that seems impossible. I think I was learning the hard but cool way.

How about you? What installer do you use? I think I can create an installer too using VS 2005 because some other teams in my workplace do use VS 2005 for creating an installer and an API for code reuse.

My First Demo Presentation with Seco

willydavidjr — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 04:40:00 GMT

This was a little bit late. But I still value this video because this was my first presentation in other University. We conducted it on University of the Philippines, Diliman as part of Microsoft Student Partners' agenda to introduce and promote Microsoft Development tools and technologies like the one we've discussed (ASP.NET and AJAX). Athough not of all students/attendees are not so techie, the presentation worked smoothly. You can check the link of the video at My First Presentation Demo . It was fun and we enjoyed it from preparation up to the presentation although we are busy with schooling and work, overall, it was all paid off!
