Most new ideas in software developments are really new variations on old ideas. This article describes one of these, the growing idea of a class of tools that I call Language Workbenches - examples of which include Intentional Software, JetBrains's Meta Programming System, and Microsoft's Software Factories. These tools take an old style of development - which I call language oriented programming and use IDE tooling in a bid to make language oriented programming a viable approach. Although I'm not enough of a prognosticator to say whether they will succeed in their ambition, I do think that these tools are some of the most interesting things on the horizon of software development. Interesting enough to write this essay to try to explain, at least in outline, how they work and the main issues around their future usefulness.

by Debu Panda
01/04/2006
Dependency injection, or inversion of control (IOC), is today's latest development craze. IOC containers such as Spring have become popular because they simplify the complexities of enterprise Java that come mostly from Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). In this article, I'll discuss how you can use dependency injection in the upcoming Java EE 5.0 specification for resources and services. I migrated the J2EE 1.4 Blueprint application Java Adventure Builder to use EJB 3.0, web services metadata, and dependency injection; I'll use this application to illustrate concepts in this article."

This is a warranted and overclocked 4.25-GHz uber-ninjatastic-wonder-PC from Dell that can impregnate your sister from across the room. I mean look at this: it's a Intel's Pentium Extreme Edition 955 chipset with a HUGE heatsink and—this is the best part—four graphics cards.
As if the extremely overclocked CPU wasn't enough to begin with, NVIDIA stepped in and outfitted the system with two dual-GPU GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB cards, for a total of four GPUs running in SLI mode with 2GB of total on-board memory.
Lordy. Add in some 10,000 RPM drives and a shiny, custom skin and you've got a machine to make doves cry. No pricing, so start saving up your blood bank money."

The December pre-beta 2 release of Windows Vista offers the first true glimpse of the OS but is missing key elements.
Jan 5, 2006 | By Scot Finnie
Microsoft delivered the December CTP (Community Technology Preview) beta -- Build 5270 of Windows Vista -- on December 19, 2005. The company held a brief press conference with little fanfare. The list of new features it presented is, overall, not impressive. But when you sit down and use this build, what becomes immediately clear is that literally hundreds of little things about this version of Vista are much closer to final than in any previous build. And for the first time in about year, Microsoft is describing the OS's look and feel by the codename Aero — a sign that the user-interface work is gelling. The personality of this product is beginning to emerge."

AjaxTrans and Ads
We recently posted about AjaxTrans which has been updated with another proof of concept.
This time Joel Parish has added an example of calling out to ads as you type!
This is exactly why the critics who cried “Ajax will kill Ads because there will be less page loads” were so wrong. We just need to think of the game differently to just full page loads. Ajax will enable even BETTER contextual ads that change as you show interest in different ways (such as typing something as shown in this example)."

: "Universal Subscription Mechanism is a really simple way of allowing RSS readers to subscribe to RSS feeds. Many blogs and Websites with RSS feeds present an orange XML or RSS button, Atom button or text anchor link that points to the RSS feed. When the user clicks on the button, nothing substantial happens. This mechanism replaces that click with a subscription notification to the users default RSS handler."
