Having freshly converted both the Visual Studio 2010 and Oslo SDK VPC images that we received at PDC 2008 last month to VMWare images, I figure it's time to dive into M. At PDC, the Addison-Wesley folks were giving away copies of ''The 'Oslo' Modeling Language'' book, which is apparently official canon of the ''M'' language for Oslo, so ...

Hi, Recently we decided to evaluate how much impact (in performance) reflection represented in db4o. In .Net side we already knew (due to previous experience) that reflection is not as fast as we would like to. At the same time, profiling proved that reflection was not a bottleneck in Java side. So we settled up for trying to replace the ...

Roy Fielding has weighed in on the recent ''buzzwordiness'' (hey, if Colbert can make up ''truthiness'', then I can make up ''buzzwordiness'') of calling everything a ''REST API'', a tactic that has become more en vogue of late as vendors discover that the general programming population is finding the WSDL-based XML services stack too ...

Not surprisingly, though a bit frustratingly, they didn't give us an install image that I could put into a VMWare image of my own creation, but ...

So the first thing I do when I get back from PDC? After taking my youngest trick-or-treating at the Redmond Town Center, and settling down into the weekend, I pull out the PDC hard drive and have a look around. Obviously, I'm going to eventually spend a lot of time in the ''Developer'' subdirectory--lots of yummy PDC goodness in there, ...

PDC 2008 in LA is over now, and like most PDCs, it definitely didn't disappoint on the technical front--Microsoft tossed out a whole slew of new technologies, ideas, releases, and prototypes, all with the eye towards getting bits (in this case, a Western Digital 160 GB USB hard drive) out to the developer community and getting back ...

There is a challenge going on at the PowerShell Podcast (http://www.powerscripting.net) in Episode 46 (the current episode as of this writing) for anyone who can get Db4O working with Microsoft Powershell.  The guys hosting the podcast are giving away a prize to anyone who can accomplish the task.  For those who are not familiar with ...
