Google Gears

Very good Move by Google. Recently they introduced a new concept called google gears. Google Gears is an open source browser extension that lets developers create web applications that can run offline.Web application will work with out internet connection and then once you connected to the interenet it will synchronize to the online application. cool stuff. They use SQLite open source database to store the application for offline view.



Really intresting move by google. it will open the new gate to Web applications. Windows applications talking about online offline availability now available in web applications also.Do you think its right move by google to crush the windows application and make the web application more powerfull with Ajax kind of technologies. No doubt is going to move in high speed in the web application world with its new Google Gears.

SubSonic - Generate your DAL in a minute

Subsonic is a code Generation Tool for .NET. it is really a cool tool which generate your Data Access Layer in design time itself. Previously it is called as action Pack. Take a look at it in CodePlex



Take a look at the Webcast



More info about subsonic from codeplex site....



SubSonic is a toolset that helps a website build itself. At it's core it's:

• A Data Access Layer (DAL) builder that requires no code on your part, it builds itself at compile-time with a full object layer and strongly-typed collections
• A complete utility toolset, complete with Rails-like scaffolding, migrations (DB Versioning), and code generators
• A dynamic query tool, that lets you use SQL Server and the Enterprise Library without having to know SQL
• An OR Mapper that extends to views and stored procedures so you're not locked into the OR/M thing
  
  

What SubSonic does for you:

1. Trim hours from your DEV cycle. This not only happens because the code is generated for you initially, but it's also maintained by SubSonic whenever you change your database.
2. Gives you the option to go full-tilt OR/M, or use SPs/Views. We don't want to tell you what to do, you already know best. We just want to help.
3. Help your application build itself. With our generators (class, scaffold, and batch-class) your site can build itself in no time. The scaffolding will help you work with your data quickly.
4. A solid foundation from which to extend. Our starter site comes pre-wired with ASP.NET membership built in, AJAX, full 3-column elastic XHTML theme, and user administration pages from which you can administer your site's membership. That's at least a week's worth of work - already done!
5. Get your project from idea to prototype in a fraction of the time. That's the strength of this project - using our starter kit you can have a sharp prototype up and running in the merest fraction of what it used to take.

Dont forget to take a look at the Commerce Starter Kit Powered by Subsonic.

Happy to know that my blog is some what usefull for some one. Today i am going to talk about silverlight, new technology introduced by microsoft to crush Flash. One of the intresting thing that i appricate microsoft is, they copy products, but they copy it and make it better than the original one. Now Silverlight got full power of .net langaugages when compared to flash which depends on only action script. Flash also trying their best to compete with Silverlight by allowing users to write the code in java. Lets See who will win the race! SOme of the Useful SilverLight Links.
