From Compsoft plc - Software development
Posted Monday November 10, 2008, 3:25 am, Over one day old"1 main choices: Microsoft PABX for Windows, due out next year. Interesting technologically. F# functional programming language, does simple and powerful asynchronous programming, apparently. A couple of architecture astronaut sessions to be avoided ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/05/01.html) Sharepoint overview. Session 2 has a Sharepoint detail workshop so it might have to be the F# one first."

Posted Monday October 27, 2008, 9:13 am, Over one day old" opening keynote, focusing (today) on the future backend platform from Microsoft, with tomorrow's keynote focusing on front end (client) applications and services such as Windows Live. Ozzie began the keynote by replying to the criticism regarding his cloud computing vision, agreeing it's not a new concept, but that now it's more relevant than ever before. According to Ozzie The web is critical to a bussiness today in various issues."
From Will Live Mesh fail like Groove did?
Posted Tuesday October 14, 2008, 3:23 pm, Over one day old"Mesh project has two components: an application for file (and other data in the future) synchronization and a set of APIs other developers can use. Let?s have a look at both of them. The Live Mesh application (as I mentioned in my other blog, and as Joel also noticed) is just another version of Groove. Groove was a team collaboration product with brilliant underlying synchronization architecture which allowed aid agencies to effectively communicate in regions like Africa or Afghanistan. However, it never really got"
From Daniel Cazzulino's Blog :
Posted Sunday October 12, 2008, 11:44 pm, Over one day old" (including single-file storage, KMZ support, etc.). I believe this is one of the first instances of a mesh-style synchronization that really proves the point and possibilities of FeedSync and also Live Mesh. Something that Joel Spolsky clearly didn't get. This technology is going to change the way we think about applications, data ownership and sharing. It's actually a pity that some people is focusing on the one *sample* application that Microsoft is showing (file/folder sharing) to evaluate it."

From Joel Spolsky: What have you done for me lately?
Posted Friday September 26, 2008, 3:26 am, Over one day old"Joel doesn't really write any articles. Looking at his archive page we can see the recent history: Year Number of articles 2000 42 2001 23 2002 14 2003 12 2004 9 2005 22 2006 20 2007 12 2008 4 so far Yes, just 4 articles this year so far and the last one was in May, over 6 months ago. Now Joel is doing the odd smaller post, he podcasts and writes articles in Inc but the point of reading the blog is the content there, not somewhere else. So really, you can't rate a blog that hasn't had a real post for"

Posted Thursday September 11, 2008, 3:31 am, Over one day old"). Plus, of course, most web app developers today are happy with what they're using now and have little interest in switching to any of the new architectures (check out the dandy commentary by Joel Spolsky here). It's an enormously complex situation, and it's going to take months, if not years, before we can start to see who's winning and who is losing. Rubicon is working on a white paper that will try to clarify the situation a bit. I'll let you know when"
From The Loader and the Mouse: Why AS3 Is "Too Hard"
Posted Thursday September 4, 2008, 9:07 am, Over one day old"t make sense from an end-user perspective. I'm certainly open to hearing why Loader shouldn't have useHandCursor, but right now I can't think of any reasons. You can argue architecture all day, but if your API stinks, it doesn't matter how good you think your architecture is, the end result is your software is difficult to use, and you've basically told your core customer base "L2P". This is what is known as in customer relations as a "faux pas". "
From Bitter SOA
Posted Wednesday December 31, 1969, 4:00 pm, Over one day old"Enterprise should be easy. We should have resources easily searchable and accessible. Hence these questions about how relevant Service Oriented Architecture stands as it is implemented today. SOA the new J2EE (read bloated) solution Are architecture astronauts taking over again Discussing the topic with Vincent it just occured to me that SOA was just like the next EJB around. This type of magical thing which is supposed to help ? allowing individuals and businesses to focus on what they do best?. Eventually we end"

July 27th, 2008 In Joel?s article, he joked about ?architect astronaut? and the idea of synchronization. Alright, there seems to be something really weird.

From Quand l'informatique sert à amuser les informaticiens
Posted Friday July 25, 2008, 7:37 am, Over one day old" L'inventeur de la technologie Notes est un certain Ray Ozzie, qui tente de la répliquer (pouf pouf) depuis vingt ans. Sa dernière tentative chez Microsoft sous le nom Live Mesh lui vaut le sobriquet d'astronaute de l'architecture. IBM a racheté Lotus en 1995 pour 3,5 milliard de dollars. D'IBM à Microsoft, ou de Charybde en Scylla ? "

Posted Thursday July 24, 2008, 7:20 am, Over one day old" doesn?t give me much hope he?s going to change that pattern this time around. Since I got the term ?architecture astronaut? from reading Joel Spolsky it was a happy circumstance to find that he has a similar (though wittier) opinion of Ozzie?s LiveMesh: Windows Live Mesh is not just a way to synchronize files. That?s just the sample app. It?s a whole goddamned architecture, with an API and developer tools and in insane diagram showing all the nifty layers of acronyms, and it seems like the chief"

From The Devil's Triad
Posted Wednesday July 9, 2008, 7:16 pm, Over one day old" This is a wonderful phrase. It is universally applicable since any useful piece of code will end up being complex, and one can never overemphasize the incompetence of one's peers when discussing maintainability. And with luminaries like Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood backing you, how can you go wrong? If you want to kill any technology -- WCF, WPF, .NET Remoting, 3-tier architecture -- just invoke this magic phrase and it will wither away. 2. It's not scalable. "
