I’m very fortunate that a lot of the pieces I write for IBM developerWorks get featured, either on the home page or in the particular “zone” in which they belong. Today I see that The ultimate mashup — Web services and the semantic Web, Part 5: Change out Web services is on the home page. [...]
I’ve just posted an introductory discusion on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). What’s itneresting about it is it provides away to get around the cross-domain issues you get when you try to access web services using Ajax. Yahoo’s now outputting JSON in a ridiculously easy way, so this is worth checking out.
Now available on IBM’s developerWorks (and actually, featured on the home page!): Create a problem determination scenario from scratch: This tutorial chronicles the building of an autonomic computing system that monitors a Java application to demonstrate the ability to detect and resolve issues within the system, a problem determination scenario. In the autonomic computing world, [...]
Now live on DevSource — Creating a GUI Feedreader using C++, Part 1: A No-Brainer Guide to UML: “If you’ve never used the Uniform Modeling Language (UML) before, it can seem a little intimidating. However, UML is actually not all that difficult, once you get to be familiar with the different diagrams and how they [...]
Almost a year ago, I wrote about what I want in an RSS aggregator, and now, as I actually write one in C++ (see, I told you I was doing it) I’ve gone back and found that all of those requests are still valid. And I still don’t see anybody doing all of it.
I’ve actually got a pretty good track record of seeing trends as they’re coming along, but I’ve never before been forced to actually write my predictions down. This year, all of us InformIT guides took it upon ourselves to document our predictions for the coming year. I sweated over mine for about 3 days, and [...]
Now featured on IBM developerWorks — Use the GLA with the Log and Trace Analyzer with Release 2 of the Autonomic Computing Toolkit: The GLA and LTA are Eclipse-based tools that enable logs to be parsed for occurrences of pre-defined events, relate those events to situations, and recommend actions based on information in a knowledge [...]
My article, Working With Avalon Today: Getting started with XAML, has been posted on DevSource. The blurb: You don’t have to wait for Longhorn to start playing with XAML. Nick Chase shows how to use XAML to create a window, add vector graphics to it, and bind those graphics and their events to .NET code [...]
I’m just to blasted tired to elaborate at the moment, so if you don’t already know that I’ve written more tutorials for IBM than … well … just about anybody — I think Doug Tidwell has edged me out, but that’s about it — you’ll just have to take my word for it. This weekend [...]
I’ve been trying to catch up on my InformIT blog, and consequently have also been catching up on The Vanguard Science Fiction Report. Here are some things I’ve been talking about: InformIT: Mosh Ado About Nothing A library of regular expressions The Enterprise Service Bus Feed of the week: The Open Source Vulnerability Database The [...]
