My Notes

FlashForward (Sci-Fi | Mystery | Thriller) For me this is the best TV serious came out in 2009. A mysterious event causes nearly everyone on the planet to simultaneously lose consciousness for 137 seconds, during which people see what appear to be visions of their lives approximately six months in the future—a global “flashforward”. A team of Los Angeles FBI agents, led by Stanford Wedeck (Vance) and spearheaded by Mark Benford (Fiennes), begin the process of determining what happened, why, and whether it will happen again. Dollhouse (Sci-Fi | Mystery | Thriller) The show revolves around a corporation running numerous underground establishments (known as "Dollhouses") across the globe which program individuals referred to as Actives (or Dolls) with temporary personalities and skills. Wealthy clients hire Actives from Dollhouses at great expense for various purposes. The series primarily follows the Active known as Echo, played by Eliza Dushku, on her journey towards self-awar...

WSO2 Data Services Server team has recently announce the release of version 2.2.0 of the WSO2 Data Services Server . The WSO2 Data Services Server is an extremely simple and elegant mechanism to take data and make it available as a set of WS-* style Web services or as a set of REST style Web resources. It augments SOA development efforts by providing an easy to use platform for creating and hosting data services. This enables easy integration of data into business processes, mashups, gadgets, BI applications and any service in general. Why should you use the new version?

I recently developed a Flex application. Before everything else I wanted to layout things. I had a trial version of Flex Builder with me. Designing the layout with Flex Builder is very easy. I can simply drag and drop components and create the layout. But I wanted to use IntelliJ IDEA as my IED. The main draw back for using Idea was been not able to preview the layout in design time. The solution to this problem came in two parts. 1 Design the site in relative layout 2 Use Flex component explorer as a reference (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex/web/) All most all the tutorials out there explains how to create absolute layouts. This is ok when we have Flex builder. But when we are not with this tool, it's not easy to visualize the layout when we create absolute layouts. So I experimented with relative layouts in “mxml”. It is almost the same as html/css relative layouts. You simply have to make sure layout=”horizontal” or layout=“vertical” is set in the A...

I was recently experimenting with a html tree which can manipulate it's nodes by drag and drop. I wanted to make it horizontally and vertically growable. When I was almost done, I had to rush for a much simpler version of this without the drag/drop part. I think the code I have written so far might be a good starting point to someone who is trying to do the same thing. Download Code The above code use script.aculo.us Prototype and YUI javascript libraries together. Now I am realizing that, using YUI alone might be a better solution for this since YUI also comes with the drag/drop support.

Countless vendors, including proprietary middleware industry giants like IBM and Oracle, and open source platform companies like WSO2, have built products that enable SOA to varying extents. But no middleware product has taken a componentized approach to their own middleware “silos”. The features and functions of each middleware product have been predetermined by the vendor’s software designers, not built to each individual customer’s specification. WSO2 is presenting this nice little article and explaining how we can benefit by using there all new componentized Carbon as a solution for this problem. http://wso2.org/project/carbon/making_good_soa_great.pdf Content Componentization reaches enterprise it The need for modular middleware Use case base explanation Painless service creation & integration Set the pace of your SOA adoptions WSO2 Carbon: the evolution of middleware
