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.

Beyond Test Driven Development: Behaviour Driven Development

Google TechTalks March 17, 2006 Dave Astels Dave Astels (co-author of "A Practical Guide to eXtreme Programming" and author of Jolt Award winning "Test-driven Development: A Practical Guide") has over 2 decades of experience in the software field, most of that involved with object-oriented technologies and techniques. Dave has been studying, practicing, teaching, evangelising, and coaching XP and Agile Processes since 1998. Dave's experience ranges from embedded process control systems to consumer products (both consumer electronics and shrinkwrapped software) to energy trading systems. Dave is an independant software consultant specializing in the areas of agile process, programming practices, and object design/architecture. Dave is one of the thought leaders in the area of TDD, and now BDD. ABSTRACT Test Driven Development (TDD) has become quite well known. Many developers are getting benefit from the practice. But it is possible that we can get even more value. A new practice is getting attention these days: Behaviour Driven Development (BDD). BDD removes all vestiges of testing and instead focuses on specifying the behaviour desired in the system being built. This talk will be focus on Ruby and will introduce a new BDD framework: rSpec. The ideas, however, are language independent.

Make your Images Fly in IE

Copy the below give Java script and paste it on the IE.Address bar of this page/any page containing images and press enter.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0)

You could see the images in the pages will be displayed/rotated accordingly to the script action.

cool one isn't it?

Code to parse Html to find value of a Input control using Regular Expression

Here's the code to parse html and find the value in input control. some times .net developers come across a situation where we need to parse the html and find the value in a input control. This code uses regular expression to find the value.

Function
------------
Public Function FindControlValue(ByVal InputHtml As String, ByVal ControlName As String, ByVal ValuePattern As String) As String
Dim reg As String = ""
Dim m1, m2 As Match
Dim options As RegexOptions = RegexOptions.Multiline
Dim matches1, matches2 As MatchCollection
matches1 = Regex.Matches(InputHtml.Replace("""", "'").ToString, reg, options)
For Each m1 In matches1
reg = ValuePattern
matches2 = Regex.Matches(m1.Value, reg, options)
For Each m2 In matches2
Return m2.Value.Replace("'", "").ToString
Next
Next
Return ""
End Function


You can call the function like,

if your input control value is string then
FindControlValue(HtmlResult, "StringControlName", "'\d+'")

if your Input control value is Number then
FindControlValue(htmlResult, "NumericControlName", "'\d+'")

if your Input control value is decimal then
FindControlValue(HtmlResult, "DecimalControlName", "'(\-?\d+\.\d+)'")

Hope this code helpful to some one who surfing my blog.

Happy Coding.
