Eclipse vs. Visual Studio at EclipseCon 2006 By Matt Mondok | Published: March 23, 2006 - 11:32PM CT Speaking at EclipseCon 2006 , Java developer and independent consultant Madhu Siddalingaiah compared Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE to the open source development environment of Eclipse. One would be inclined to think that Siddalingaiah, being at EclipseCon and all, would give a bias presentation on the side of Eclipse. As it turns out, that's pretty much what happened. Siddalingaiah began by giving Visual Studio kudos for being a great IDE for beginners; it supports multiple programming languages and can target several different environments. Siddalingaiah also noted that the IDE has plenty of features for more advanced users as well, but that's where all the praise ended. http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2006/3/23/3317

IKVM IKVM can be described as a Java Virtual Machine for the .NET CLR. IKVM is an amazing new technology that conclusively breaks down the barriers between Java and .NET. So if you are creating a .NET application, but want to use that cool new Java library that doesn't yet have a .NET counterpart, here's a solution for you. Conversely, if you are a Java developer who wants to call a .NET library from Java, IKVM is what you need. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/08/18/ikvm.html

[I found it interesting..] MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating large data sets. Users specify a map function that processes a key/value pair to generate a set of intermediate key/value pairs, and a reduce function that merges all intermediate values associated with the same intermediate key. Many real world tasks are expressible in this model, as shown in the paper. Programs written in this functional style are automatically parallelized and executed on a large cluster of commodity machines. The run-time system takes care of the details of partitioning the input data, scheduling the program's execution across a set of machines, handling machine failures, and managing the required inter-machine communication. This allows programmers without any experience with parallel and distributed systems to easily utilize the resources of a large distributed system. http://labs.go...

Hi, I came across two very nice informative discussions, you also just take a look. Handling 1.5 Billion Page Views Per Day Using ASP.NET 2.0 http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/03/25/441074.aspx IBATIS - ASPNET - MySpace.com http://www.mail-archive.com/user-cs@ibatis.apache.org/msg00803.html

Hi, Lets say you have one interface and one implementation. You build them in one assembly. Then in your other (user)project you use this interface file and reference the assembly built previously. But at runtime your user project will unable to create the object of that interface. Because in this current project this interface is recompiled under this-project's assembly and namespace probably. So it become a separate interface altough identical in source. This gives you some kind of Security, Visibility Level. And perhaps it generates some kind of GUID, so every thing is same but GUID key is different. (And then they wrap it into security and stuff...) What you think?
