May 06 UI for SQL Server Data Services Code Name SitkaSSDS is a new offering from Microsoft and which shows its promise on investing in S+S and SaS. It is an Online, On Demand, highly scalable and query processing Web Service. See here It consists of Authorities, Containers and Entities, where in Containers are not defined by schemas (Tables are defined as schemas) but as a name value pairs. It also provides a very good query processing capabilities. You can get integrated with it using the provided SOAP or REST interfaces..The interfaces are quite simple and good. However, there are still some good things missing and one of the things is a UI for SSDS. Using the SOAP interfaces, it did not took me too much of time to create a UI for SSDS for query processing. This Tool supports. · Connect to the SSDS · Add Entities · Delete Entities · Update Entities
May 02 Playing with Microsoft Virtual EarthLast week I had some spare time and I thought to look into Virtual Earth offerings from Microsoft. i.e Microsoft Virtual Earth, your can find it here I found it a bit interesting and thought to spend some time playing with some of the API provided with the SDK. Soon I was able to create a simple ASP.NET application integrated with Virtual Earth, with some basic functionality like Search, Zoom, Find route etc. See a screen shot of my application You can find a very good Virtual Earth Interactive SDK here
I also tried using MSR Map Cruncher, but as detailed view of Indian region is not available on the Virtual Earth , integrating Map Cruncher with Virtual Earth did not look that good..
Nevertheless, you will find some of the feature in Virtual Earth SDK to be very interesting like 3D view, Birds View etc.
There is a very interesting Case study , which you will find interesting. Find it here |
