The ADO.NET team has released a demo of their Entity Data Model Designer. This tool demonstrates some of the Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) features planned for ADO.NET vNext.
The Entity Data Model Designer allows developers to separate the logical schema from the actual database schema. Benefits include a reduced need for joins in code and the ability to isolate code from database schema changes. Other concepts such as inheritance are allowed
This demo requires the May LINQ CTP and the August ADO.NET vNext CTP.

Another milestone in the ADO.NET vNext train -- the Entity Data Model designer prototype has just been pushed to the web. In earlier iterations I have seen, this tool was more stand alone applications, so it's good to see it integrated into Visual Studio directly. Some early comments: * I think it will be important for third party providers to understand any additional requirements, beyond the establoshed ADO.NET vNext interfaces in order fully participate with the ADO.NET enity model. Does this tool rely or indeed leverage the DDEX Visual Studio integration mechanism? * The tool is currently only geared to function with the SqlClient ADO.NET provider, and in my early experiments I've been unable to integrate any other ADO.NET vNext enabled providers. I would be interested to hear if anyone has had success with this. * The ADO.NET team's policy of a steady drip feed of tools and CTP updates is to be commended! I would also like to see some of the broader feedback too... http://jonathanbruceconnects.com/jonathan_bruce/2006/10/adonet_vnext_updates.html
Thin client paradigm characterized by web applications is a kludge that needs to be repudiated. Old compromises are no longer needed and it's time to move the presentation tier to where it belongs.
In this presentation filmed during QCon 2007, Jeff Sutherland, the creator of Scrum, talks about his visit at Google to do an analysis of Google's first implementation of Scrum.
In this article, Bryon Jacob and Chris Berry introduce AtomServer, their implementation of a full-fledged Atom Store based on Apache Abdera, which is now available as open source.
It is easy to think that virtualization applies only to servers. In reality the recent resurgence of the concept is also being applied to networking, storage, and application infrastructure.
In this article, Stefan Tilkov explains some of the most common anti-patterns found in applications that claim to follow a "RESTful" design and suggests ways to avoid them.
In this article, Adrien Louis and Marc Dutoo discuss the differences and relative merits of using orchestration vs. routing in a typical ESB setup, and discuss various implementation options.
Wayne Lund discusses batch processing, Spring Batch objectives and features, scenarios for usage, Spring Batch architecture, scaling, example code, failures and retrying, and the future roadmap.
