Pat Helland's weblog opens with "service vs. system"
------------------------------------------------------
Posted By: Ted Neward on March 15, 2004 @ 12:05 PM

Pat Helland, Microsoft Architect Extraordinaire, has started a weblog on weblogs.asp.net, and has opened his weblog with a great discussion of the etymology of the all-too-fuzzy terms "service" and "system" (and a little about "application", as well). Though you'd think these are straightforward to identify, turns out it's tricky.

So instead of trying to hammer home his definitions up front, he instead goes for that extra layer of indirection just to keep things straight: he calls them "Foo"s and "Bar"s, until we can get past the confusion, anyway.

An excellent primer for anybody who's ever wondered what a service is, and how services relate to the stuff you ship at the end of the day.

Yesterday learnt ( heard from a friend ) a fantastic way of programming....rather code generators... the program logic is made as an XML file and the given to the code generator ..which can generate the required code in required language. Such code are standard and maintain consistency and dose not depend on each programmers' style of coding etc etc.....

Kris Thompson's Weblog

Younger kids getting use to software flaws I couldn't believe it myself when the other day I was watching my 2 year old play his Sesame street games, which are Flash based, and quite often they crash the browser. When it does happen he knows how to cancel the "Send error report" request and open a new browser and get back to the game. Neither I or my wife showed him how to do this, it simply must happen a lot of times for him to have learned it. Thanks Bill Gates for teaching my child this new skill and helping him build tolorance for accepting software flaws as the norm. (2004-02-13 10:27:14.0) Permalink Comments [0]

* Dinamica website:
http://www.martincordova.com

Dear Java developers:

A new framework for Java web development has been released, it is called "Dinamica".

Dinamica is 100% Java, J2EE compliant, open source LGPL, powerful and simple, free of charge,
and fully documented and supported.

http://www.waferproject.org/index.html

Wafer is a research project which compares the many open source web application frameworks which are available using a common example application. This research project is designed to compare the application frameworks on a level field by specifying an example application so that the application features become irrelevent and the merits of each framework becomes the focus.
