I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having
said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because
they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would
share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application
pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered.
From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the
iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to
make it faster?
3. When it comes to accessibility, how do I know what's required of me for
my rich web apps? Beyond what's required, what makes good business se... (more)
“Is it possible to run the AppDynamics controller within my own Microsoft
Azure IaaS?”
I hear this question fairly regularly and would like to walk you through how
to host the controller in your own Azure cloud. First off, the pros of having
AppDynamics with Azure:
Have full control and ownership of the data collected by AppDynamics Provide
additional security to access the data (for example, lock it down to a
corporate VPN only). Enable easy integration between AppDynamics and your
services, such as Active Directory for authentication or internal bug
tracking system for alert notifications. These would typically require
opening custom ports when you leverage the AppDynamics SaaS environment.
AppDynamics works by placing an agent running on your servers which reports
to the controller. It’s common to have several agents monitoring your
applications. To further the ea... (more)
I have not blogged much about what I work with or do and that's on purpose.
Sometimes I am not allowed to tell and mostly I think you would not find it
interesting. However, I wanna share with you from Qt Developer Days #qtdd09
in Munich, which was an amazing event.
Not only is Qt a decent Developer tool for making desktop apps, but joining
forces with Nokia, ex-Trolltech is getting far more traction as well. As a
result of last week's devdays but also beta-release of Qt 4.6, one of my
favorite online newsletter had this article last week.
But being at DevDays Europe is an amazing experience. Third year now for me
and it keeps blowing my mind off. This year an amazing 660 delegates + the
80+ Nokians that attended/helped out.
The DevDays often comes with some new stuff. This year, the former
Trolltech cheif engineer, Matthias Ettrich, launched QML in his ... (more)
Yesterday, Microsoft released another update to the Windows Azure SDK. This
update includes a truckload of new goodies that I will be covering in
additional blog posts. For this blog post, however, I want to walk you
through getting an ASP.NET MVC 2 application working on Windows Azure in
Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. Now that Azure and VS2010 are finally starting to
sync up, the amount of raw goodness coming out of Redmond cannot be measured.
First, install the Windows Azure SDK and the Windows Azure Tools for Visual
Studio, making sure you pay attention to all of the installation details.
There are lots of little hotfixes and things that you might need. Luckily, if
you're running VS2010 Beta 2 on Windows 7, you have very little extra work to
do beyond configuring IIS 7 for WCF HTTP activation.
Once you've got that installed, create a new project. The project template ... (more)

In Windows Server 2012 we introduced a new version called Windows Server 2012
Essentials edition. The Essentials server is very flexible and
easy-to-use. This was a server solution that was primarily designed and
priced for small businesses with up to 25 users and 50 devices. This
provided a great first server for many customers, as well as it can be used
as the primary server in a multi-server environment for small businesses.
With the new Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Server we really added many
features to make this an even more rounded server. The Essential server
also provides a ton of flexibly for deployment and functionality. We even
included the popular client computer backup from Windows Home server. The
Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012
R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.

2014 State of Readiness for Windows 2003 End of Support: Poll Results
Most IT administrators are painfully aware that Windows Server 2003 will
reach the end of extended support in July 2015. This is a big deal because
Windows Server 2003 has been a monster success since it was released 11 years
ago. From 2003 to 2010 this platform was the workhorse for applications
deployed at both small businesses and large enterprises. And, even though
Microsoft released a major update with Windows 2008, late in 2008, most
enterprises stuck with Windows 2003 until Windows Server 2008 R2 launched on
October 22, 2009.
The newest Windows Server platform is 2012, R2 and little is publicly known
about the number of production instances. As of the summer of 2014 however,
it was widely reported that Microsoft believed there to be 22+ million
Windows 2003 Servers still running productio... (more)
Interland, a provider of websites and online services for small and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced that it has completed its

In ASP.NET 2.0, we introduced a very powerful set of application services in
ASP.NET (Membership, Roles and profile). In 3.5 we created a client library
for accessing them from Ajax and .NET Clients and exposed them via WCF web
services. For more information on the base level ASP.NET appservices
that this walk through is based on, please see Stefan Schackow's excellent
book Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Security, Membership, and Role Management.
In this tutorial I will walk you through how to access the WCF application
services from a directly from the Silverlight client. This works super well
if you have a site that is already using the ASP.NET application services and
you just need to access them from a Silverlight client. (Special thanks
to Helen for a good chunk of this implantation)

Jan. 31, 2017 07:15 PM EST Reads: 1,841 | By Yeshim Deniz  More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart...

Change is hard, and many of us procrastinate, make excuses or lag behind. Today, we simply can't. Digital technologies are no longer "nice-to-have" tools of the business - today they are the business. Digital laggards are already finding their markets disrupted and their abilities to compete overturned. As they desperately try to outrun the Darwinian effect of their slow responses, they are faced with not one but three periods - or ages - of digital transformation to navigate - disruptive transformation, hyper-digital transformation and ubiquitous transformation. Understanding these three age...
Make room for IoT. It’s a necessary step to moving any business forward. What can the world expect from IoT technology in the upcoming year? IoT implementations that bring in new revenue streams and deliver real-time business insights. We’ll see a rising trend in the intersect of virtualization and IoT. As the number of connected things continues to rise, it has been projected to reach 50.1 billion things in 2020, and there is estimated to be 44 trillion gigabytes of data from all those connected things—that’s equal to the number of stars in the universe. It’s incredible!
As the number of con...
Every organization collects, stores and retains portions of dark data. It's the digital equivalent of emotional baggage which hangs around after every user interaction, transaction, and customer engagement. In fact, not using data effectively is costing United Airlines almost $1 Billion annually in lost revenue. Gartner Inc. describes dark data as "information assets that organizations collect, process and store in the course of their regular business activity, but fail to use for other purposes."
Being able to look into the crystal ball, that would be great: What are the IT trends 2017? Flexible, fast and self-made: Developments that have been observed in various IT areas in recent years will continue to apply in 2017. But in which direction? What are the IT trends 2017? We are not quite sure whether this is in the glass ball of the fortune-teller at the fair. Therefore, we asked our Anexia experts. They opened their doors gladly and shared their trend analysis for 2017 with us. What happens in the areas of big data, cloud management, SEO and VOIP telephony?

In his keynote at 19th Cloud Expo, Sheng Liang, co-founder and CEO of Rancher Labs, discussed the technological advances and new business opportunities created by the rapid adoption of containers. With the success of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and various open source technologies used to build private clouds, cloud computing has become an essential component of IT strategy. However, users continue to face challenges in implementing clouds, as older technologies evolve and newer ones like Docker containers gain prominence. He explored these challenges and how to address them, while considering h...

With cybersecurity on the everyone's mind, 2017 will be see the emergence of True Fog Computing and Programmable / Intelligent Edge Devices with the strongest security measures to-date. As 2017 kicks into full gear and a particularly interesting 2016 fades into the rearview mirror, we took a look around the IIoT landscape to see what this year might potentially have in store. We will be unveiling five IIoT-related predictions throughout this week and into next, so stay tuned and let us know what you think!
You can call me bias, or out of touch, but over the past two years, I’ve been reading articles and blogs about how Big Data is going away, dying, or already dead. So what changed?
Is Big Data falling into Gartner’s dreaded trough of disillusionment? Did someone discover that predictive analytics could have a butterfly effect and change the course of history and hence, we should abandon these voodoo analytics practices? Did we figure out that we actually don’t have enough data to call it “Big” data? Did we already finish analyzing all the data and we’re all done? Or… are the people calling it ...
Technology is advancing at a rapid pace. To keep up, organizations must now take more strategic approaches to their business management solutions that support respective requirements. Today, in every organization, conflicting interests, misinformation, and fear of change make it difficult to know how to navigate the cloud safely. That’s why, when making a sensible technology plan for the times ahead, it’s crucial to ask the following questions to wade through the confusion.
Once again, we find ourselves at the dawn of a new year. And many would say, not a moment too soon. With a series of tumultuous elections around the world and an unusual number of celebrity passings, it's been a rough year. But there is at least one bright spot from 2016: Intellyx's digital transformation prognostications were close to spot on! As is our tradition, each year we review last year's predictions and make all new fresh ones! This year, it is my turn to review Jason's 2016 predictions and let you know what I see happening in the coming year.
