atlas and 2005

After being much wow'd at NJ Code camp on Saturday by web parts and authentication models, and continuing to drool over start.com, I've resolved to sharpen my knowledge on these through revamping my site.

hence a bookmark to myself on atlas: http://www.nikhilk.net/Entry.aspx?id=94

Oh well. I'll fix it...soon....maybe.... ok someday...

British Library

Amazing - the British Library has put some books on line (not incedible alone), including a notebook by Da Vinci (cool content).

The book viewer shows you the book itself (you actually "flip" the pages), and there is even a "maginfying glass" available. (enrich the user experience)

Lastly the page is enriched further with optional audio and text. (extend and enrich the content).

What a great site.

Gartner AD Confrence Tracks

The Gartner Applicaiton Development confrence was devided into 4 primary tracks:

1. application life cycle for SOA
2. AD resource management
3. modernization and integration
4. AD governance and control

This is a pretty good deliniation of the industry if you accept the SOA pill. Specifically SOA presents new demands on application development both in how applications are developed and managed, how existing assets can be leveraged, new roles required, and environment challenges like SOX and ever increasing security threats.

First an ambient orb now a lava lamp

we may well need to implement this....
