First... Naah... One of the first...

We are working hard to release our first (it won’t be last for sure) online SAAS offering... It shall be a Portal of sorts with some services pun around it. We do have a success story in thick client SAAS offering, that’s restricted to few internal clients though. We are working in parallel to make that available online as well.

There already have been lots of changes in plan in sync with the business scene... I guess I just wanna sum up with word AGGRESSIVE... Just keeping fingers crossed.

Cloud Hustle Bustle!!!

Cloud madness is at its peak now... MS being smartest of all by not showing all the cards... Right goes Balmer once again... Azure is here to rock... and yeah no surprise, License/Pricing is not yet disclosed... Although its a CTP release, it will surely be handy.

This left me all confused... cuz i was hearing lot of codenames like Zurich, Strata, "Red Dog", Live Mesh... And then i read this Article which made my mind lil clear. Hope this helps everyone.

Amazon is also out with their version. Actually there was lots of pressure to get something out for the worlds most abused yet favorite OS. They have done what it can be done at the earliest.

And i still remain a fan of MS by offering services which is surely tough to understand cuz there are too many... If my understanding is right, MS is actually manipulating their all the current services to suit for the Cloud. At the same time they are waiting for others to show their arsenal (I love this part... ;) ) and once again they will be the clear winners.

What Google and Amazon are doing is very raw and less meaning/value to developers or ISV's. 2009 will surely a important year when we will talk about Virtualization for sure.

SilverLight... Funny!!!

Thanks to my last release I couldnt write a single post and there are lot of things to share.

Past 2-3 Months back i was thinking of giving Silverlight a try, Although i am very circumspect about the whole thing. 3 Days back i thought of trying it, saw some of the sites which were un-impressive and few of them never worked. Still i thought of trying, so i downloaded sdk and then started the struggle to actually installing it. I tried for few hours and then gave up cuz i had better things to work on.

Was just going through some Ajax Controls and found Ajax Widgets which is average i would say. I was going through the blogs of the developers and found this Post and simply enjoyed it.

Go thru the same and Enjoy! At least i m not the only who has problems with SilverLight.

WCF- Remoting Comparision

Very informative post. WCF if used to the best affect, nothings better than the same.

JSON-WCF Conquered!

I struggled big time last week with installation of VS2008 and Ajax Libraries. Actually I had older version of System.Web.Extensions... That made life hell... And I used to get "Sys is undefined" most notorious problem with .Net 3.0. Then I installed VS2008 Standard Edition and everything settled out. I managed to make a POC for JSON Service which wraps WCF Service in turn. Right now I have some issues Dependency Injection. But am thinking of it again to use it or not. Right now I m just preserving the state in a static variable. Lemme work more to find a more structured solution for the same.
Now I am making infrastructure for my Project that shall use these Independent Layers. I was also thinking about using an environment variable according to which JSON service will be used or not.

JSON-WCF-AJAX -- Wondrous Combo!!!

Am working along with Patterns and Practices (now Codeplex) for around 2 years now... WCF came in Dec' 2006 and there started a new journey of Services... Last year they also integrated JSON with WCF which i believe would be big boost to ASP.Net developers. I will upload the code soon, till then if u r interested in the same visit Dino's Article.

My First Tech Post!!!

I have been working since 2004, and have learned a lot till now... although thats not enough... still working hard on each and everything... and improvising every day...
