RaaS- Reality as a service

I'm sure you all have heard about SaaS, but what is RaaS - Reality as a service.. read this:

"Ready for GWorld?

Have you ever come up with a great domain name for a Web 2.0 application, personal blog, or online store only to find out that it and 2000 other variations (including dyslexic spellings) were already off the market?

Well, there is good news then! Virtual worlds, which include Gworld, a hypothetical future version of Google Earth where you can have an avatar and build stores, supermarkets or your own personal publishing house (the virtual world’s version of the humble blog) will not require you to register a domain. However, you will have to claim the land, or in the case of GWorld, pay Google a renewable license fee to the right to occupy the land for X number of years (a.k.a. a land lease.) You may also have to hire virtual world developers to build your house, hotel, store, etc for you (using Google Sketchup, which already lets you build houses and other structures and place them on Google Earth) and most likely have Google ads integrated into the walls as doorways into other stores, publishing houses or bordellos.

Some of the scenarios in Google’s hyopthetical future version of Google Earth, a.k.a. “GWorld (beta)”, may include:

1. The ability to idetinfy and track the location of all objects in the virtual world (as if each had a virtual RFID tag.)
2. The ability to barter with real and/or virtual objects (interchangeably.) You can buy a real t-shirt on GWorld with virtual stuff you made or had purchased off someone else (e.g. a nice roof for a house, a side wall, a portable mountain, etc)
3. The ability to break the law and get away with it a la Grand Theft Auto except all radio stations in your stolen car will air Google sponsored commercials.
4. The ability to create your own wicked (or more civilized) version of the world, i.e. the ability to create your own world, not just your own forum or popular blog but your own world with your own genuine looking castle! full with real people (incarnated as avatars) who become your loyal followers and click (or rather “knock”) very often on your Google ads (which you can already have in the 2D Web but I bet it will be more satisfying when you can make them do that on demand or risk being left without shelter.)

With such a world of possibilities who needs the 2D Web anymore?

The Case for GWorld

But to “organize the [virtual] world’s information” more intelligently than possible in the real world, we will first have to enter the Semantic Web phase. This is where all information on the Web would be put into standard format (a declarative ontological language like OWL) which machines can use to build a view (or formal ontological model) of how the individual terms in the information relate to each other, which can be thought of as axioms (basic assumptions), which together with the rules of inference constrain the interpretation and well-formed use of these terms. Based on that, formal deductive propositions that are provable based on the axioms and the rules of inference (i.e. theorems) may be generated by the software, thus allowing formal deductive reasoning at the machine level. So given that an ontology, as described here, is a statement of Logic Theory, two or more independent, machine-based information agents processing the same domain-specific ontology will be able to collaborate and deduce an answer to a query, without being driven by the same software.

In other words, in the Semantic Web individual machine-based agents (or a collaborating group of agents) will be able to understand and use information by translating concepts and deducing new information rather than just matching keywords.

Once machines can understand and use information in a standard way, the virtual world will never be the same. It will be possible to have a Google Buddy or many Google Buddies among your virtual AI-enhanced workforce each having access to different domain specific comprehension space with all having access to the collective consciousness (read: Google as the virtual world’s omnipresent AI.) You’ll be able to ask your Google Buddy (or Buddies) to find you the nearest restaurant in your virtual neighborhood (which may be a loose replica of your real-world neighborhood) that serves Italian cuisine, even if the local restaurant nearest to you advertises themselves a Pizza joint as opposed to an Italian restaurant. But that is just a simple example of the deductive reasoning machines will be able to perform on information they have.

I believe that the advent (on the Web scale) of this already existing machine reasoning capability is going to make the case for doing business in the aforementioned “Google Earth + Sketchup + Semantic Web” enabled virtual world far more compelling than in the real world or the current non-semantic 2D Web, and that is because every object that exists in such virtual world will be automatically within the comprehension space of the machine-as-your-Google-Buddy! That sort of awesome power (i.e. the ability to access/query the collective consciousness of the universe at will and with precision) combined with user-generated “design it and they will come” 3D environments will make a powerful case for the move out of the current 2D Web and into the virtual world.

So if you thought Web 2.0 is exciting and Web 3.0 (Semantic Web) was going to be powerful then wait till you see what Web 4.0 has in store …"

The New Methodology- Agile

In the past few years there's been a blossoming of a new style of software methodology - referred to as agile methods. Alternatively characterized as an antidote to bureaucracy or a license to hack they've stirred up interest all over the software landscape. In this essay I explore the reasons for agile methods, focusing not so much on their weight but on their adaptive nature and their people-first orientation.

Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies that promotes development iterations, open collaboration, and process adaptability throughout the life-cycle of the project. It chooses to get things into action quickly, rather than to plan at length. The plan evolves as actions are taken. It has some similar aspects to bioteams.

There are many agile development methods; most minimize risk by developing software in multiple repetitions (or'iterations') of short time frames (known as'timeboxes'). Software developed during one unit of time is referred to as an iteration, which typically lasts from two to four weeks. Each iteration passes through a full software development cycle, including planning, requirements analysis, design, writing unit tests, then coding until the unit tests pass and a working product is finally demonstrated to stakeholders. Documentation is no different than software design and coding. It, too, is produced as required by stakeholders. An iteration may not add enough functionality to warrant releasing the product to market, but the goal is to have an available release (with minimal bugs) at the end of each iteration. At the end of each iteration,
stakeholders re-evaluate project priorities with a view to optimizing their return on investment.

Agile methods emphasize face-to-face communication over written documents. Most agile teams are located in a single open office to facilitate such communication. One agile management methodology, Scrum, advocates a team size of 5 to 9. Larger teams than 9 should be split into smaller teams to help make team communication and team collaboration easier.

New Search Engine

I came to know about a new search engine and I went on to see the engine for myself. I visited page, searched some keywords and tried to decide, whether it is good or bad. But couldn't decide.

So, I am leaving it up to you to decide whether it is good or bad. The site is: http://www.cuil.com/ and it looks something like this image:



The cuil is headed by some founder members and ex employees of google. They claim that they have the largest database of web pages and they provide results based on relevance of searched keyword, rather than their rank or popularity.

They also claim that they don't keep record of our searches on their server, thus enabling us privacy. I don't know how much they fair in their claim, but it they so, then this is a good feature, as even google keeps track our search habits and frequently share it with their partner advertisers.

The feature that impressed me much is that it gives us option to filter our search based on suggested categories. They also give ample text from the page to read and have idea about the suggested site. We get option to see 2 columns or 3 columns of search result in the page.

Their page layout is clean and they have given some good colors to their page, which makes them different from google.

Dreamweaver and its behaviours

Importance of Website Design and Development

Below are the listed points that explain why is Website Design and Development for a company:

Today, in the field of online business none can see each other. The only medium to introduce oneself through internet is his website. So, to get success in business you will have to be a owner of a good,attractive & unique website. Always keep in mind that, Your web site is your identity. A good and appealing website can be considered as a potent online portfolio of a company or an Individual engaged in online marketing. A good, well designed, easy to navigate and search engine friendly website will obviously rank high in search engine result page resulting more traffic to the website. This article summarizes why a good website is necessary and how can a website be made more appealing to online traffic.

A website is an online identity of a company or of an individual involved in Internet Marketing. The task associated with the website is to represent a company, sell company’s name, attract more visitors, generate more business leads, promote more sale of company’s products and services and ultimately, help to gain more return on investment.

In this era of advanced technology, electronic commerce have highly dominated the marketing practice, and due to easy availability and affordability of the Internet, people are running after it and making huge profit at the comfort of their home.

As a serious online business person, what is important for your business is, to prepare a website that is well designed, attractive, easy to navigate, highly usable, good content, full of relevant information, enough functionalities and are capable of retaining visitors for long and make them come back again.

We know, Web is the visual interface and what people look on the Web will be manipulated and interpreted into their mind and perception. So being a website designer and programmer, you must be careful about the use of color effects, lights, visual effects, positioning and size of contents and use of search engine friendly technology, so that people must remember your website name first and search you first on the Web.

To achieve all the above mentioned strategies, your website building needs a professional touch from qualified website designers and developers who can put their best acquired knowledge and experience to make a suitable portal that can turn each visitors into potential buyers.

In fact, there are two types of website design such as; static and dynamic website design. You can opt for static as well as dynamic website design where former is based on simple HTML code and latter is developed with advanced and sophisticated technologies based on the information provided in the database. Dynamic website is actually selling these days, because apart from its beauty and diverse applicability, it gives the ease of quick and self information updating facility to site administrator without being proficient technically.

Another important factor for a well designed and programmed website is the quality search engine optimization (SEO) service. SEO is the basis of search engine marketing success, because website optimization process spice-up the website with relevant keywords, facilitate one-way link, enhance link-popularity and place website at top or near the top of search engine result page that ultimately help in attracting motivated buyers and more traffic to website.

How to Style Tab Ajax Control Toolkit

If you’ll ask all the ASP.Net developers on what control they want Microsoft to create and include freely, I bet that Tab Control is in the top 5 list. Well, now our dreams finally came true. With the released ASP.Net AJAX last January 2007, the ASP.Net AJAX Team included 4 new controls that are not in their RC1 and Tab Control is one of them (others are AutoComplete, Calendar, MaskedEdit).

The easiest way to create new styles is to copy that of the ajax__tab_xp which is the default style that you typically see.

1. Download the AjaxControlToolkit.
2. Open the .ZIP archive and extract the tabs.css file, and the tab images - get all 10 of the .gif files that start with "tab".
3. Place the .gif files into a folder in your website, then right-click that folder in Solution Explorer and "Add Existing item..." for each image file.
4. Open the "tabs.css" file and Copy the entire XP style. Paste it into a .CSS file in your project, such as the one you are already using.
5. In the .CSS file in your project, edit this first part of each entry for the tab control: .ajax__tab_xp . You want to change it slightly, such as to .ajax__tab_xp2 - that is, add the number 2 to the end. Do this for each entry in the XP style; do it only for the first item on each line.

6. Go through each entry that contains a URL reference to a .gif file, and edit it to point to the .gif files you added to your project in step 3. If you placed them into a folder called "images" in your website's root folder, the reference should look like this background:url(../images/tab.gif).

The last thing we need to do is to add the custom CssClass to the Tab Container:

<ajaxcontroltoolkit:tabcontainer id="tabContainer" runat="server" height="300" cssclass=".ajax_tab_xp2">

Here comes community site for pets

I don't know, whether it is good news, bad news or what news, but what I know is it is amazing news. The news is that we have got a community site for our pets, rather dogs, also. It really amazed me, when I read about it and couldn't stop myself from logging on to the site. The site is: http://www.doggyspace.com/

This site provides user to display images and video of their dogs. Two dogs here can be friends too. They tell a lot about them selves. Like their gender, their current mood and their favorite activity. They also tell a lot about themselves. Here I give some of the intros of the dogs from the site:
1. "I was a rescue dog that Mom got after she moved to Florida. I came from Alabama...my rescuers found me being used as a bait dog in a pitbull fighting ring." -Rocky
2. "hey my name is julie! my sister likes to call me julio, but what ever! i love my family...i especially love those things called hands!! they are so usefull!! like petting me!! haha" -Julie
3. "hi my name is olivia! im actually a chi terrior mix, but chi tells enough! im scared of the camera so i dont have a lot of pix..." -Olivia



I couldn't also stop myself from informing all of you for the site. If some of you don't like it, then don't blame me, as it is the nature of information that you are supposed to get all the informations, regardless the relevance of the same to you.
But, ..... if any one of you liked this site and the post, do comment on it.

So friends, just wait and watch what is coming next from the great programmer's mind...

.NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ)

The next big challenge in programming technology is to reduce the complexity of accessing and integrating information from relational databases and XML.

Rather than adding relational or XML-specific features to our programming languages at runtime, we can take a more general approach and could add general purpose query facilities to the .NET Framework that apply to all sources of information, not just relational or XML data. This facility is called .NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ).

.NET Language Integrated Query defines a set of general purpose standard query operators that allow traversal, filter, and projection operations to be expressed in a direct yet declarative way in any .NET-based programming language. The standard query operators allow queries to be applied to any IEnumerable-based information source.

The extensibility of the query architecture is that it can be used to provide implementations that work over both XML and SQL data. The query operators over XML (XLinq) use an efficient, easy-to-use in-memory XML facility to provide XPath/XQuery functionality in the host programming language. The query operators over relational data (DLinq) build on the integration of SQL-based schema definitions into the CLR type system.

LINQ is built entirely on general purpose language features, some of which are new to C# 3.0 and Visual Basic 9.0. Each of these features has utility of its own, yet collectively these features provide an extensible way to define queries and queryable API’s.

In general, the developer is free to use named methods, anonymous methods, or lambda expressions with query operators. Lambda expressions have the advantage of providing the most direct and compact syntax for authoring. More importantly, lambda expressions can be compiled as either code or data, which allows lambda expressions to be processed at runtime by optimizers, translators, and evaluators.

Note: Lambda expressions are similar to CLR delegates and must adhere to a method signature defined by a delegate type.

Example for Lamda:

IEnumerable<string> expr = from s in names

where s.Length == 5

orderby s

select s.ToUpper();

The code written above is equivalent to this lamda expression:

Eg IEnumerable<string> expr = names

.Where(s => s.Length ==5)

.OrderBy(s => s)

.Select(s => s.ToUpper());

Google Audio Ads

Here's another feature of Google Adwords of creating BRAND AWARENESS, featuring Google Audio ads. With Google AdWords, you can launch radio ad campaigns and track the resulting traffic and conversions -- all from within your AdWords account.

With Google Audio Ads, We can Target customers on "top ten" stations in all 25 of the most popular US markets -- with Google Audio Ads, you have access to 1,600 terrestrial FM and AM radio stations, and we can even guarantee premium inventory during every standard daypart.

1. This is traditional radio advertising, the kind of radio that our grandparents, parents and we ourselves have known throughout our lives. While you may hear ‘Google Audio Ads’ and immediately think it was created for use with online media such as internet radio or podcasting, Google Audio Ads are actually designed to facilitate advertising on traditional radio stations such as those you may listen to in the car, in the gym or anywhere else on your AM/FM radio. Our product aims to make the long standing process of buying radio advertising as simple and efficient as possible, while allowing you to manage it from your existing Google AdWords account.
2. Google Audio Ads campaign uses an auction system very similar to that currently used in your AdWords campaigns. Additionally, for advertisers interested in securing ad space in advance, campaigns can also be booked using a Reserve Buy. This option allows advertisers to make advanced bookings of specific inventory so they can ensure their ads will play when and where they want them to.
3. Combining your existing AdWords online campaigns with traditional radio advertising through Google Audio Ads can be more effective in increasing brand awareness than running online ads alone. In addition, radio and the Internet combined can reach over 83% of people aged 18-54, ensuring that your business is gaining the exposure needed to strengthen the value of its brand and drive users to seek out your products or services.
   

Before uploading your ad, we have to be sure that we have all the necessary legal rights for distribution and public performance, including the rights to any sounds or music used. You are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations that govern in your jurisdiction and in any jurisdiction where you have chosen to target your advertising.

All audio ads are reviewed by Google Audio Ads representatives. Google is dedicated to providing ads that contribute to a positive user experience, and we may not accept ads related to certain products or services.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a catchword for the new internet paradigm that is just starting to shaping the way you work and interact with information on the web.

Web 2.0 is not a specific software or some registered trademark of Microsoft or Google, but a buzzword describing a collection of approaches to using the net in new and very innovative ways.

Web 2.0 refers to technologies that allow data to become independent of the person who produced it or the site it originated on. It deals with how information can be broken up into units that flow freely from one site to another, often in ways the producer did not foresee or intend.

The Web 2.0 paradigm allows net users to pull information from a variety of sites simultaneously and deliver it on their own site to achieve new purposes.

But it is not a world of stealing others’ work or pirating information for one’s own gain. Instead, Web 2.0 is a product of the open-source, sharing notions the internet was founded on, and makes data more connected. This allows new information and business opportunities to be built upon the shoulders of the information that came before.

Web 2.0 lets data act as its own entity, which can be changed, altered or remixed by anyone for any specific purpose. When data is an entity, the net moves from a collection of websites to a true web of sites that can interact and process information collectively.

News for iphone Application Developers

The growing popularity for the iphone and its applications decreases the availability of the application developers reason being lack of training and knowledge on the technology used for iphone application development.

Well not anymore...as kannuu announced the availability of its iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit.) The kannuu iPhone SDK, provides developers with a rich set of tools to incorporate its indexing and lookup capabilities into high demand mobile OS X web-based and device native applications.

Analogues to a Spotlight search on the Mac, kannuu’s SDK provides developers a problem-free way to add rich, search and find capabilities to their upcoming applications. kannuu’s SDK handles all the heavy lifting and expedites mobile OS X application delivery by providing innovators with coco library sample code, unified access to data, can be incorporated into a vast array of web or native applications in need of an elegant search solution, and contains comprehensive product documentation and development support.

kannuu-enabled applications adhere to Apple specifications and offer the option to incorporate a precisely intuitive interface which presents the user with the four-most likely characters in an easy to navigate up, down, left, right and center four-way directional controller.
