Code Architects Practical Guidelines IntroductionAs weird as it might sound, you are reading a book that was born almost accidentally. When we began to work on this material, we weren’t even thinking of writing a book. Our initial, quite unpretentious goal was to define a list of guidelines for internal use in Code Architects, the software company we founded in 2002.
We founded Code Architects when we realized the extent of the Microsoft .NET Framework potential and the impact it would have on the developers’ community and on the way enterprise-level applications are designed and implemented. Before long, we found ourselves working on software projects that included 400,000 lines of code, mainly written in C# but with some portions developed with Visual Basic. Projects of this size are simply too large for just one or two programmers, and you need more than plain good will to write them in an orderly way. Instead, you need coding discipline and, above all, a set of well-defined and proven guidelines. These guidelines are essential when many developers with different expertise levels and knowledge backgrounds work at the same project.
In the long run, our initial checklist of recommended practices grew in size and included special cases and exceptions meant to accommodate the imperfect world of software development. We also added code examples and short sample projects. But foremost, we discussed nearly all the guidelines in our internal forum and weighed the opinions of Code Architect’s’ team of .NET experts, which includes renowned writers and conference speakers (who are mentionedUnderstanding Microsoft's Web TechnologiesIn the beginning, the World Wide Web (WWW) was flat. It was an electronic library where academics and scientists posted dissertations and dusty data for reading with clunky, text-only browsers. With the advent of graphical browsers, the consumer oriented Web took off. Content became vastly more colorful. Remember where you were the first time you experienced the exciting blink and marquee tags? (I bet you wish you could forget those gems!) Anyway, the Web has evolved as a rich, interactive, and personalized medium. In the new version of Web (Web 2.0), functional pages aren’t enough. User experience (abbreviated as UX in geekspeak) is hot, and sites are cool. This chapter looks at Microsoft’s tools and technologies for creating and delivering engaging Web content.
Microsoft has a range of tools for authoring Web pages that appeal to several
skill levels. Some tools are more suited to Web page design, while others are
more appropriate to programming.
Microsoft Office (Including Word 2007)
When Bill Gates realized that Microsoft was lagging on the Internet front, the word went out to integrate Web support into every product. As a result, you can save Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint slides as Web pages.
Many companies use the Office suite to place information on their intranet because most employees are comfortable in Word and Excel. These tools are quite adequate for creating static Web content that some call brochure ware. Although somewhat bloated, the pages are faithful reproductions of the original document — especially when viewed in Microsoft’s latest Internet ExplorerThe Forrester Wave: Application Server PlatformsApplication server platforms are the most important category of application platform software for most enterprises. An application server platform is infrastructure software for building Web and composite applications and, increasingly, applications based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) design principles. An application server platform integrates an application server, which manages user requests, data access, and business logic, with portal servers and integration/business process management (BPM) servers — and often additional features, as well.
- App server platforms are the most strategic of all application platforms. According to data from Forrester’s Business Data Services, Microsoft’s .NET and Java/J2EE have consistently finished at the top of the list of most commonly used development platforms. .NET and Java/ J2EE are the core technologies for most application server platforms. Hot new platform options, including Ruby on Rails, Java Spring, and PHP, and new hosted platforms like salesforce.com’s Apex are simply not as important to platform buyers in our surveys yet, and older platforms like 4GLs and host platforms are in declining usage (see Figure 1).· - Application server platforms help customers consolidate to save money. Many customers turn to application server platforms and suites and dump their best-of-breed products. Why? Application server platforms offer higher volume discounts and reduced product integration costs.
- App server platforms are the base for a growing number of solutions. Buyers of many packaged business applications either use application server platforms now or soon will, adding to the importance of this category. Microsoft’s Dynamics packaged applications are based on its .NET platform. NetWeaverPHP HOW?TOThis document tells you howto develop PHP programs and also to migrate all the Windows 95 GUI applications to powerful PHP + HTML + DHTML + XML + Java applets + Javascript. The information in this document applies to all the operating sytems where PHP is ported that is ? Linux, Windows 95/NT, OS/2, all flavors of Unix like Solaris, HPUX, AIX, SCO, Sinix, BSD, etc.
PHP stands for 'Hypertext Pre?Processor' and is a server side HTML scripting/programming language. PHP is a tool that lets you create dynamic web pages. PHP?enabled web pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can create and edit them the same way you normally create regular HTML pages. PHP was kept the "top secret and strictly confidential" computer language by many companies in the world, but now had become the most well?known and most widely used scripting language for web, internet, e?commerce and business?to?business projects. Even today many competing companies keep PHP language as a highly confidential matter not disclosing to outsiders (competitors).
PHP will storm the entire world and will take the IT industry by surprise!! The power of PHP is that it is cross?platform and runs everywhere!! It runs on Linux, Windows 95/98/NT, Windows 2000, Solaris, HPUX and all flavors of unix. PHP is write once and deploy anywhere and everywhere. It runs on many web?servers like Apache, Microsoft IIS, etc..
PHP runs 5 to 20 times faster than Java!! It is extremely easy to use and you can develop very complex web/e?commerce1999-2005 Volkswagen GTI 1.8L Cold Air System Installation InstructionThe AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot underhood air. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment.
The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Cold Air Systems are 50 states Street Legal (some models and years still pending) and come with complete instructions for ease of installation.
Our system is constructed of lightweight aluminum and then painted with a zirconia based powder coat for superior heat insulating characteristics. The aluminum will not crack in extended use like plastic and it is actually lighter than plastic. The tube diameter and length are matched for each engine to give power over a broad rpm range. Unlike the plastic systems that use a continually diverging cross section, we take advantage of the acoustical energy in the duct to promote cylinder filling during the intake valve-opening event.
Our Dyno testing as well as independent dyno tests (seeCar Builder Deluxe 7.3 Macintosh OS X Native User's Guide Optimum Resource is proud to present the newest version of its award-winning program, Car Builder Deluxe. Sophisticated, yet easy to use, Car Builder Deluxe appeals to children ages 8 and up, teenagers and adults who are fascinated by cars. As “design engineers,” users build cars on screen, specifying chassis length, wheelbase, engine type, transmission, fuel tank size, suspension, steering, wheels, tires and brakes. All functional choices are interrelated and will affect the performance of the final design.
Next, users design the body of the car, now with complete pixel-by-pixel flexibility, adding windows, custom details and paint finishes. The program then tests the car in a wind tunnel and around a test track, accumulating data about top speed, cornering ability, acceleration and braking.
A complete evaluation report is displayed and users can adjust, alter, save and print designs for comparison against future creations. Car Builder Deluxe teaches principles involved in building aerodynamic, efficient and safe cars. It introduces users to computer-aided design (CAD), enhances problem-solving skills, and fosters an elementary knowledge of physics and automotive design.
Car designs and test results can be printed and stored for later use or modification.

Sadly, it's no Disney story - in fact it's more likely to have been pulled from the pages of the Brothers Grimm. Whilst writing the EJB modules for our JGenerator product, we started punting an email back and forth containing all the issues we had with EJB. And there were many. Before we knew it we ended up with 101 howlers. In this article we present an edited version of the email. It isn't a complete list and there may be some overlapping issues. If there is enough interest we will turn it into a more formal analysis.
Before you flame us for chasing after your sacred cow with a big stick, all three of us have belonged to the "pro-Java" lobby since Java was in its first beta, and we still do. We have evangelised Java at every company we have worked at. However, EJB just presents so much that is wrong and messed up that we felt we had to speak out.
The 101 issues are divided into the following categories:
• Conceptual
• Design
• Development
• Deployment
• Runtime
• Knock-On Effects
And finally there's a conclusion, containing some heartfelt suggestions for improving the EJB spec. We want Java and J2EE to succeed. We want it to remain the platform for developing server-side applications. We just hope that somebody at Sun is paying attention…

Cell-Phone Tracke Plan To Merge By RICHARD MULLINS The Tampa Tribune Published: Sep 13, 2006 The business of tracking where people go by locating their cell phones is heating up in Tampa. Two former rival companies in Tampa that build those kinds of technical systems are merging operatio effective immediately, a sign, they say, of the growing focus on finding where people are via their cell phones. The acquiring company, ActSoft Inc., employs about 80 people and has won contracts with cellular phone companies such as Sprint Nextel Corp. For example, ActSoft systems are loaded on cell phones or BlackBerry-type PDAs to track cable TV repair technicia for Time Warner and deploy them more efficiently. IT2ME LLC, the company being acquired, employs about 15 people and builds similar systems that function primarily over the Internet, allowing companies to track their employees locatio online. Both companies are privately held, and financial terms were not disclosed

According to the definitions of real-time given in (CNRS 1988) and (Stankovic 88), real-time implies on one hand that the response are waited at a precise moment (neither before nor after) and on other hand, that such systems are coupled with the real world, therefore highly concurrent. This document overviews the support for concurrency modelling provided by UML. It describes first the main concept of active object and second a (non exhaustive) list of issues pertaining to concurrency mechanism interactions. The integration of concurrency issues within object-oriented environments generated a large amount of research.
In the case of object-oriented languages, most concurrency issues are related to the concept of active object (Atkinson 91), (Guerraoui 95) et (Tripathi, Oosten et al. 99). Concrete examples of concurrent object oriented languages are Act++ , Hybrid (Nierstratz 1987), ABCL (Yonezawa, Shibayama et al. 87), Argus (Liskov 1988), PRAL RT (Fouquier and Terrier 95), RTGOL (Sourrouille and Lecoeuche 95), TOM , etc.
