When Microsoft released IIS 7 in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 they had extensibility in mind. This presentation will show you how to take advantage of the extensibility in configuration, UI administration, and runtime. If you've been frustrated by developing extensions to previous versions of IIS, let this presentation serve as a relief. We'll start by extending IIS 7 configuration and demonstrate how to update that custom configuration with delegated permissions through command line tools like AppCmd and Powershell. We'll demonstrate how to create modules that use the new custom configuration to dynamically change behavior. Lastly, this presentation will cover creating administrato modules that extend the IIS administration interface. If time permits we will also show you how to use unconventional tools such as twitter coupled with domain-specific languages to perform administrative tasks.
