As blogs and RSS feeds gain more popularity amongst the mainstream, content aggregation and integration seems to be the next logical step in the right direction. Most of the content integrating technology till date has been focused on the “Back-End” – XML-RPC, SOAP, RSS feeds etc. We’ll show a very easy, yet very effective, way of enabling content integration using dynamic JavaScript.

In an article for the July 2001 MSDN Magazine I talked about what you need to know to move from C++ to C#. In that article, I mentioned that the syntax of C# is very similar to that of C++ and that the difficult part of the transition was not the language itself but getting comfortable with the managed environment of .NET and understanding the extensive .NET Framework.

Time goes by so fast these days. You’ve got masses of work to do, e-mails to respond to, ads to write, your website needs tweaking – and there are just a couple of facts you want to check before sending off your new article to the various ezine databases. You haven’t got the right books at home, and you definitely haven’t got time to go to the library. You can probably find the information you need on the net, but it may take a while to track it down, and the search engines throw up a load of dross before taking you to anything really useful. It would be brilliant if you could just click a button on your computer for the information you need to appear on your screen.

This is a cross reference of libraries needed by Skunkware and other binary packages and where to obtain the library or other needed tool. You know you need a library when the program fails to work; sometimes it is friendly enough to tell you what it needs, but sometimes it is not.

Sendmail can be a little scary. If the 1,000+ page O’Reilly reference doesn’t give you pause, the cryptic configuration files probably will. But actually, if you can put up with a little pain to get by the basics, Sendmail really isn’t all that difficult. It is complicated, but a few “rules of the road” will allow you to understand it.

Brandon,

I was reading your article on government contracts awarded to small businesses… and particularly appreciated the Austin Powers/Dr. Evil reference in first sentence (i.e. One trillion dollars)

There is no source of reference remotely as authoritative as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. There is no brand as venerable and as veteran as this mammoth labour of knowledge and ideas established in 1768. There is no better value for money. And, after a few sputters and bugs, it now comes in all shapes and sizes, including two CD-ROM versions (standard and deluxe) and an appealing and reader-friendly web site. So, why does it always appear to be on the brink of extinction?
