Unit Testing Functions that Access Web-Services
I just heard about this little start up out of Boston called Virtual Ubiquity on a post on basement.org, they have created a feature rich online word processor using Flash. I signed up for a preview account and I have to say I am really impressed with the functionality and ease of use.
For those of you who like the new Ajax tags of Colfusion 8 the framework, ExtJS, has released the Alpha version of their next major release.
This release is a rather large upgrade to the code base that Coldfusion uses and fully separates its reliance or dependence on other frameworks (yahoo ui toolkit for example).
The host of new features are too many to go into here so you can read about the major and exciting new features here. You can also read more about the general release news on their blog.
All I can say is that Jack Slocum and his crew do a fantastic job and I am continually impressed with the quality and level of their work. Add on top of that the three licensing options (open source, oem/reseller, and commercial) and you end up with a product that everyone can use.
An important thing to note is that this release while extensive has not significantly increased the size of the library. The whole library measures in at 522kb (thats everything you need) and it is possible to reduce that size rather significantly by importing only the library files that you need for a specific task. Though that being said the general practice is to include the ext-all.js file and be done with it.
Happy Coding...
A lot of folks in my office here in Munich use Winamp over iTunes. It just seems to be more accepted than iTunes. It might be that iTunes won't let you connect and sync with two different computers, or it might be that they just want a player not all the other things that come with iTunes. Or it may be that Winamp "really whips the Llamas ass"?
I have been, in the past, a heavy user of the notes in Microsoft Outlook for all manner of reminders and project notes. But I was always a little disappointed in the limited functionality, enter Microsoft Office OneNote 2007
I'm not usually one to plug Microsoft but I have to admit I am relatively pleased with it. It has the ability to organize the notes into simple section/pages, it also provides multi-user sharing of the notes, search features, ability to embed images, drag and drop from IE, outlook integration and a host of other pretty cool features.
It comes standard with MS Office Home edition other than that you need to buy it separately at a cost of up to $79.
