Microsoft Silverlight vs Google Wave: Why Karma Matters | Zoho Blogs

May 31st, 2009

Let’s try to imagine what a Google Silverlight would have been. It would have been a fully open source product from Google, with a very liberal open source license (BSD or Apache). It would have all the technical specifications published openly. They would pledge to have the Silverlight VM interoperate with Javascript and HTML5. And a company like Zoho would have a ton of developers working on Google Silverlight based applications by now – as opposed to having exactly ZERO developers working on Microsoft Silverlight. Please note that this has nothing to do with the technology: as I said before, I happen to agree that Silverlight is a great piece of technology.

Enforcing Ruby code quality

May 31st, 2009

What you’ve just installed is a set of tools that check for duplicate code, complex code, code smells and code problems. The last one (metric-fu) will give you a report to look at if you need to browse for more details.

Next, you need to add some tasks to your rakefile. For my rails applications, I have this in lib/tasks/quality.rake, but you can put it anywhere that gets loaded by your build.

Enterprises, Struggling to Manage Your Data? Give The Semantic Web a Try…

PwC wrote in the report that the underlying technology of the Semantic Web applies not just to online data, but to “internal information and non-Web-based external information” – including a company’s data warehouse. Currently enterprises struggle with hefty relational databases, but PwC says that the Semantic Web could both lower costs and provide more data. What’s more companies can contribute their “non-sensitive” ontologies to the Linked data cloud

Building Your Team Pre-Financing – ReadWriteStart

May 29th, 2009

In our 10 Things to Be Clear About Before You Start, we suggested that you decide whether to build a team of partners or fly solo. If you have decided to build a team of partners, even a small team of two, you’ll need to also decide how this partnership will work. Your only currency will be equity in a company that has not been formed and a venture/Web service that is no more than a gleam in the eye.

neoK12 – educational videos and lessons for K-12 School Kids

May 28th, 2009

At NeoK12, we believe that kids learn best when they ’see’ how things work and why they happen.
Watching educational videos is a great way to learn because that’s the closest they can get to the real thing in most cases. And, combined with detailed explanations, it’s possibly one of the highly effective learning tools. Moreover, it’s fun, and when kids enjoy an activity, they learn and understand on their own.

We at NeoK12 are committed to cataloging the best free online educational videos from across the Internet at one place. We watch and review each and every video to ensure they are safe and appropriate for K-12 kids. We also check the accuracy of the content and catalog it under the relevant categories and topics.
