Microsoft Developer Network ( MSDN ) was the division of Microsoft responsible for managing the firm's relationship with developers and testers, such as hardware developers interested in the operating system (OS), and software developers developing on the various OS platforms or using the API or scripting languages of Microsoft's applications. The relationship management was situated in assorted media: web sites , newsletters , developer conferences , trade media, blogs and DVD distribution.

66-723: A continuous stream of encoded audio data. This audio is stored on sectors of 2352 bytes different from those that store a file system and it is not stored inside files; it is addressed with track numbers , index points and a CD time code that are encoded into the lead-in of each session of the CD-Audio disc. Video CDs and Super Video CDs require at least two tracks on a CD, so it is also not possible to store an image of one of these discs inside an ISO image file, however an .IMG file can achieve this. Formats such as CUE/BIN , CCD/IMG and MDS/MDF formats can be used to store multi-track disc images, including audio CDs. These formats store

132-553: A long-awaited improved support for alternative web browsers to Internet Explorer in the API browser. In 2008, the original MSDN cluster was retired and MSDN2 became msdn.microsoft.com. In 1996, Bob Gunderson began writing a column in Microsoft Developer Network News , edited by Andrew Himes , using the pseudonym "Dr.GUI". The column provided answers to questions submitted by MSDN subscribers. The caricature of Dr. GUI

165-474: A particular container format; they are a sector -by-sector copy of the data on an optical disc, stored inside a binary file. Other than ISO 9660 media, an ISO image might also contain a UDF (ISO/IEC 13346) file system (commonly used by DVDs and Blu-ray Discs ), including the data in its files in binary format, copied exactly as they were stored on the disc. The data inside the ISO image will be structured according to

198-437: A raw disc image of the complete disc, including information from all tracks, along with a companion file describing the multiple tracks and the characteristics of each of those tracks. This would allow an optical media burning tool to have all the information required to correctly burn the image on a new disc. For audio CDs, one can also transfer the audio data into uncompressed audio files like WAV or AIFF , optionally reserving

231-539: A replacement of the TechNet and MSDN libraries. Over the next two years, the content of the MSDN Library was gradually migrated into Microsoft Docs. In 2022, Microsoft Docs was itself incorporated into Microsoft Learn . MSDN Library pages now redirect to the corresponding Microsoft Learn pages. Each edition of MSDN Library could only be accessed with one help viewer (Microsoft Document Explorer or other help viewer), which

264-431: A single ISO image; at most, an ISO image will contain the data inside one of those multiple tracks, and only if it is stored inside a standard file system. This also means that audio CDs , which are usually composed of multiple tracks, can not be stored inside an ISO image. Furthermore, not even a single track of an audio CD can be stored as an ISO image, since audio tracks do not contain a file system inside them, but only

297-447: A suitable driver software, an ISO can be " mounted " – allowing the operating system to interface with it, just as if the ISO were a physical optical disc. Most Unix -based operating systems, including Linux and macOS , have this built-in capability to mount an ISO. Versions of Windows, beginning with Windows 8 , also have such a capability. For other operating systems, separately available software drivers can be installed to achieve

330-473: Is 2,048 bytes, the size of an ISO image will be a multiple of 2,048. Any single- track CD-ROM , DVD or Blu-ray disc can be archived in ISO format as a true digital copy of the original. Unlike a physical optical disc, an image can be transferred over any data link or removable storage medium. An ISO image can be opened with almost every multi-format file archiver . Native support for handling ISO images varies from operating system to operating system. With

396-403: Is sometimes used to indicate that the file system inside the ISO image is actually UDF and not ISO 9660. ISO files store only the user data from each sector on an optical disc, ignoring the control headers and error correction data, and are therefore slightly smaller than a raw disc image of optical media. Since the size of the user-data portion of a sector (logical sector) in data optical discs

429-551: The APIs that ship with Microsoft products and also included sample code, technical articles, and other programming information. The library was freely available on the web, with CDs and DVDs of the most recent materials initially issued quarterly as part of an MSDN subscription. However, beginning in 2006, they were available to be freely downloaded from Microsoft Download Center in the form of ISO images . Visual Studio Express edition integrated only with MSDN Express Library, which

462-465: The ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media) is a disk image that contains everything that would be written to an optical disc , disk sector by disc sector, including the optical disc file system . ISO images contain the binary image of an optical media file system (usually ISO 9660 and its extensions or UDF ), including the data in its files in binary format, copied exactly as they were stored on

495-411: The file system that was used on the optical disc from which it was created. The .iso file extension is the one most commonly used for this type of disc images. The .img extension can also be found on some ISO image files, such as in some images from Microsoft DreamSpark ; however, IMG files , which also use the .img extension, tend to have slightly different contents. The .udf file extension

528-510: The "MSDN Premium Subscription" and even so only "directly related to the design, development and test and/or documentation of software projects;" this does not terminate Microsoft provided editorial content for MSDN Magazine , a monthly publication. The magazine was created as a merger between Microsoft Systems Journal (MSJ) and Microsoft Internet Developer (MIND) magazines in March 2000. MSJ back issues were available online. MSDN Magazine

561-599: The disc. The data inside the ISO image will be structured according to the file system that was used on the optical disc from which it was created. ISO images can be created from optical discs by disk imaging software , or from a collection of files by optical disc authoring software , or from a different disk image file by means of conversion . Software distributed on bootable discs is often available for download in ISO image format. And like any other ISO image, it may be written to an optical disc such as CD, DVD and Blu-Ray. Optical-disc images are uncompressed and do not use

594-505: The metadata (see CD ripping ). Most software that is capable of writing from ISO images to hard disks or recordable media (CD / DVD / BD) is generally not able to write from ISO disk images to flash drives . This limitation is more related to the availability of software tools able to perform this task, than to problems in the format itself. However, since 2011, various software has existed to write raw image files to USB flash drives. .ISO files are commonly used in emulators to replicate

627-407: The older as well as the newer versions of MSDN Library could co-exist. MSDN Forums were the web-based forums used by the community to discuss a wide variety of software development topics. MSDN Forums were migrated to an all-new platform during 2008 that provided new features designed to improve efficiency such as inline preview of threads, AJAX filtering, and a slide-up post editor. MSDN blogs

660-452: The same objective. A CD can have multiple tracks , which can contain computer data, audio, or video. File systems such as ISO 9660 are stored inside one of these tracks. Since ISO images are expected to contain a binary copy of the file system and its contents, there is no concept of a "track" inside an ISO image, since a track is a container for the contents of an ISO image. This means that CDs with multiple tracks can not be stored inside

726-454: Was a series of blogs that were hosted under Microsoft's domain blogs.msdn.com . Some blogs were dedicated to a product – e.g. Visual Studio , Internet Explorer , PowerShell – or a version of a product – e.g. Windows 7 , Windows 8 – while others belonged to a Microsoft employee, e.g. Michael Howard or Raymond Chen. In May 2020, the MSDN and TechNet blogs were closed and the content

759-467: Was a subset of the full MSDN Library, although either edition of the MSDN Library could be freely downloaded and installed standalone. In Visual Studio 2010 MSDN Library was replaced with the new Help System, which was installed as a part of Visual Studio 2010 installation. Help Library Manager was used to install Help Content books covering selected topics. In 2016, Microsoft introduced the new technical documentation platform, Microsoft Docs, intended as

792-438: Was also starting to incorporate feeds of social bookmarks from experts and the community, displayed alongside feeds from relevant bloggers. The social bookmarking feature was discontinued on October 1, 2009. MSDN Gallery was a repository of community-authored code samples and projects. Launched in 2008, the purpose of the site evolved to complement Codeplex , the open-source project hosting site from Microsoft . MSDN Gallery

825-448: Was archived at Microsoft Docs. Social bookmarking on MSDN Social was first launched in 2008, built on a new web platform that had user-tagging and feeds at its core. The goal of the social bookmarking application was to provide a method whereby members of the developer community could: The initial release of the application provided standard features for the genre, including a bookmarklet and import capabilities. The MSDN web site

858-540: Was authored both by Microsoft and by the community at large. Microsoft later began placing emphasis on incorporation of forums, blogs, library annotations and social bookmarking to make MSDN an open dialog with the developer community rather than a one-way service. The main website, and most of its constituent applications below were available in 56 or more languages. MSDN Library was a library of official technical documentation intended for independent developers of software for Microsoft Windows . MSDN Library documented

891-743: Was available as a print magazine in the United States, and online in 11 languages. The last issue of the magazine was released in November 2019. Microsoft Systems Journal was a 1986-founded bi-monthly Microsoft magazine. MSDN was launched in September 1992 as a quarterly, CD-ROM-based compilation of technical articles, sample code, and software development kits. The first two MSDN CD releases (September 1992 and January 1993) were marked as pre-release discs (P1 and P2, respectively). Disc 3, released in April 1993,

924-647: Was based on a photo of Gunderson. When he left the MSDN team, Dennis Crain took over the Dr. GUI role and added medical humor to the column. Upon his departure, Dr. GUI became the composite identity of the original group (most notably Paul Johns) of Developer Technology Engineers that provided in-depth technical articles to the Library. The early members included: Bob Gunderson, Dale Rogerson , Rüdiger R. Asche , Ken Lassesen , Nigel Thompson (a.k.a. Herman Rodent), Nancy Cluts , Paul Johns, Dennis Crain, and Ken Bergmann . Nigel Thompson

957-667: Was integrated with the then current single version or sometimes two versions of Visual Studio. In addition, each new version of Visual Studio did not integrate with an earlier version of MSDN. A compatible MSDN Library was released with each new version of Visual Studio and included on the Visual Studio DVD. As newer versions of Visual Studio were released, newer editions of MSDN Library did not integrate with older Visual Studio versions and did not even include old/obsolete documentation for deprecated or discontinued products. MSDN Library versions could be installed side-by-side, that is, both

990-413: Was offered in several tiers. Although in most cases the software itself functioned exactly like the full product, the MSDN end-user license agreement prohibited use of the software in a business production environment. This was a legal restriction, not a technical one. An exception was made for Microsoft Office , allowing personal use even for business purposes without a separate license—but only with

1023-406: Was retired in 2002 and all MSDN pages now redirect to the new code samples experience on Microsoft Learn. MSDN had historically offered a subscription package whereby developers had access and licenses to use nearly all Microsoft software that had ever been released to the public. Subscriptions were sold on an annual basis, and cost anywhere from US$ 1,000 to US$ 6,000 per year per subscription, as it

1089-592: Was the first full release. In addition to CDs, there was a 16-page tabloid newspaper, Microsoft Developer Network News , edited by Andrew Himes , who had previously been the founding editor of MacTech , the premiere Macintosh technology journal. A Level II subscription was added in 1993, that included the MAPI, ODBC, TAPI and VFW SDKs. MSDN2 was opened in November 2004 as a source for Visual Studio 2005 API information, with noteworthy differences being updated web site code, conforming better to web standards and thus giving
