Twitter in Tamil - எளிய தமிழில் ட்விட்டர்

yesterday i helped twitter to translate its Twitter video "twitter in plain english" which is found in the main page of the twitter from english to tamil . you can click on watch a video link found on the main twitter page.

Actually http://dotsub.com/ is the website which is similar to youtube. but it has intresting features. you can translate any vidoeo script into any language. Twitter use this site to host the video.

CommonCraft is the company which creates this video. They have also otehr intresting videos.

Take a look at the twitter video that i translated. Hope my english to tamil translation is not bad. Choose Tamil from the drop down found at the bottom of the video.

Unit Testing in .NET

In computer programming, unit testing is a procedure used to validate that individual units of source code are working properly. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application. In procedural programming a unit may be an individual program, function, procedure, etc., while in object-oriented programming, the smallest unit is a method, which may belong to a base/super class, abstract class or derived/child class.

Nnunit is the earlier version of .net unit testing framework. Then Munit comes. Then xnuit also joins. Visual studio Team system itself got its own unit testing framework. here's the links for the major unit testing frameworks.

• Nnuit http://www.nunit.org/index.php
• Mbunit http://www.mbunit.com/
• xunit http://www.codeplex.com/xunit

Skyfire - mobile browser that delivers rich web media, real fast.

A New mobile browser Skyfire enables Flash video through server-side rendering



WOW! Now THIS is impressive! It looks to me like Skyfire has managed to essentially (almost) match full-page browsing on the iPhone, for the Windows mobile platform, and majorly leapfrog Opera's Mini browser. This is very innovative and appears to be exceptionally very well done, especially for a beta. I think this program is going to be HUGE!

At least with respect to web browsing, the Windows mobile platform has now essentially matched (and in some ways even beaten) Safari on the iPhone through this new application.
