Implementing Silverlight in 21 Days - Miguel de Icaza: "Needless to say, we believe that Silverlight is a fantastic development platform, and its .NET-based version is incredibly interesting and as Linux/Unix users we wanted to both get access to content produced with it and to use Linux as our developer platform for Silverlight-powered web sites."

Interface21 Team Blog » Annotation-Driven Dependency Injection in Spring 2.1: "With Spring 2.1, this theme of annotation-driven configuration has been significantly extended and will continue to evolve as we progress toward the RC1 release. In fact, it is now possible to drive Spring's dependency injection via annotations. Furthermore, Spring can discover beans that need to be configured within an application context.
This blog entry will serve as a tutorial-style introduction to the basic features in 10 easy-to-follow steps. I will follow up later in the week with information on some more advanced features and customization options. If you are interested in alternative configuration options, you should also check out the Spring Java Configuration project and this blog.
This tutorial requires at least Java 5, and Java 6 is recommended (otherwise there is a single requirement at the end of step 1)."

Throughout this post I will be using the contacts xml file defined in item 35 of Effective XML, by Rusty Harold. One of the options that has been available for quite a while is the XPathExpression. This is an abstraction over compiled XPath expressions, such as the Java 5 XPathExpression, and Jaxen XPath..."

Interface21 Team Blog » Spring: simple, not simplistic…: "The short version basically says: web services != remoting, you'd better learn to live with the fact that this means that the amount of stuff you have to do to implement a web service != the amount of stuff you have to do to export a service to an RMI endpoint (I suspect it's very likely that != can in all cases be replaced by >). Arjen and me are working on a article that will explain this in much greater detail. Until then, the Spring Web Services reference manual and Arjen's personal blog should give you plenty information about the reasoning behind all of this."

Some tweaks for a Drupal WoW guild site | leafish_paul: "built initially on Drupal 4.7 and recently upgraded to Drupal 5.1. It provides guild membership management via user accounts and roles, forums with public and private access, raid listings with sign-ups and other groovy stuff like private messaging, image galleries and a links/resources directory. For managing raids and sign-ups we use a CCK type called ‘raid’ which includes fields for:
- Date using the Date API;
- Instance as a drop-down list (see the attached instance_list.txt for the values we use);
- Notes for anything else, eg what the goals of the run are.

SWF Charts | DevBee: "The following sample charts are based on those from the PHP/SWF Charts Gallery page. The first sample graph consists of the following code saved as a PHP node:... I've pointed out XML/SWF Charts to many people, and nobody ever seems to think it's as cool as I do. I wanted a graphing solutions for another module I've been trying to get going: Reports. That module is a bit boring without nice graphs. But the typical solutions for graphs (one of the several PHP Graph libs out there (such as JPGraph) require additional server installation and configuration and also generate additional server load. This solution doesn't." & SWF Charts | drupal.org: "A wrapper for XML/SWF Charts.

Geographic archives at Dan Karran's blog: "I love finding new sites that use the Drupal KML module, and seeing what they're doing with it. The great thing about it is that it can be used for absolutely anything that has associated location information, so every site out there can be a site about something completely different to the previous one... The site I discovered today is an Ontario real estate website, listing houses for sale and their locations, but also events and other such things. Not only are they able to add a 'kml' link to each relevant page, allowing the user to click through to Google Earth and see the location, but they are also able to have people find their properties through Google Earth itself..."

Javascript tools, jquery and the future | drupal.org: "The current javascript tools collection of modules has some very interesting functionality, however with 5.0 coming jQuery will be handling Drupal's javascript functionality. What I'm wondering is if I use the current javascript tools to develop site functionality, will that break with 5.0? How good is jQuery? Am I better off just waiting before I implement features like dynamic(ajax) loading of tabs and menus?" & How to keep Drupal 4.7.x up to date with jQuery | What Would Drupal Do? & jQuery example/tutorial - dynamic form | drupal.org & jQuery and Drupal | drupal.org & jQuery Beginner Tutorials | Ubercart & jQuery DrupalCon Talk | Steven Wittens - Acko.net and Video

Complete Code For Spring-StateLessSessionBean [Archive] - Spring Framework Support Forums: "This example would look like the following using XDoclet. Basically you specify the business interface, the business object and the EJB bean implementation. XDoclet would generate the Home, remote interface, ejb-jar.xml, jboss.xml. And the business interface doesn't have any hint of RemoteException. This would allow you to migrate the remoting implementation to Hessian/Burlap/RMI or anything else (or nothing at all, using the local object). Note that the business methods in the Bean class must have the @ejb:interface-method tag. I have patterned this after an actual working example that I've implemented. It really works and saves you from writing more than you have to... One thing you might notice: the implementation of the bean doesn't throw any exceptions but the remote interface does. The way this works is you throw EJBException (which is unchecked) from your Bean class and the container will convert those to RemoteExceptions..."
