What's New for XML in SQL Server 2008 2007-10-04 Microsoft

Microsoft introduced XML-related capabilities in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with the FOR XML and OPENXML Transact-SQL keywords, which enabled developers to write Transact-SQL code to retrieve a query result as a stream of XML, and to shred an XML document into a rowset. SQL Server 2008 builds on the XML capabilities of previous releases and provides enhancements to meet the challenges that customers have faced when storing and manipulating XML data in the database. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 builds on the extensive support for XML by extending support for XML schema validation and XQuery, and by enhancing the xml data type.

Building a Robust Linux Kernel Piggybacking the Linux Test Project 2008-07-30 IBM

The Linux kernel is growing at a rapid rate and runs across many architectures and platforms; ensuring that the kernel is reliable, robust and stable is very critical. The Linux Test Project (LTP) was established to meet the very goals stated above. Testing is often ignored in major development and they pay the cost through frequent updates, frequent crashes and unhappy users. LTP is now breathing a new life, they want to add more test cases, cover more code, test new features, update existing test cases and improve the framework. This paper explores the effectiveness of testing via LTP, and, look at coverage statistics and number of new test cases added.

The Software Development Life Cycle for Web 2.0: Realize the Benefits of Agile Development 2008-05-27 IBM

Any software development life cycle must be properly organized before the developer can expect to successfully execute a project. This is also true of Web 2.0, where a well-planned life cycle will let the developer realize the vision of building Web services in shorter development cycles, allow quick testing and deployment, and provide for service versioning. In this paper, get to know the software development life cycle for Web 2.0-based applications. Web 2.0 application-development processes need to be more agile than standard development methodologies allow for. In a Web 2.0 world, the users are going to be more agile in their thinking, will want things more quickly, and are getting used to rapid change. The role of Web 2.0-enabled content-management tools is becoming clear.

Adopting Agile Development, Part 3: The Role of Agile Stakeholders 2008-05-20 IBM

Part 1 of this series introduced agile processes, the benefits of using them, and the requirements placed on the organization that uses them. Part 2 discusses how different types of organizations, such as start-ups, product companies, and small and large organizations, adapt to agile development. This paper discusses the different types of stakeholders in an agile process and what their roles entail. Stakeholders in the Srum process are highlighted. In software development, a stakeholder is a party who affects, or can be affected by, an organization's actions. The stakeholders are the entities within or outside of an organization that sponsor a project, have an interest in it, or stand to gain from the results of the project.

Documenting Software Architecture, Part 2: Develop the System Context 2008-05-13 IBM

Part 1 of this series explained the importance of a disciplined approach to documenting software architecture. It also introduced commonly used mechanisms to capture the architectural artifacts used in a typical software development process. This paper continues the discussion and focuses on the first important architecture artifact: the system context. Learn how to document the system context information with diagrams and information flows.

Intel Tools for Thread-Oriented Development on Linux 2008-05-02 Intel

During the early years of Linux, when it was gaining traction through the work of evangelists, the operating system did not offer significant functionality in support of threading. In part, this was due to a unique threading model initially supported by Linus Torvalds, the driving force behind the Linux project. As the need for a more-standardized threading model emerged, Torvalds accepted a new model that more closely resembled commercial server operating systems such as UNIX. During the last few years, Torvalds and the keepers of the Linux flame have added significant improvements to these threading operations. One of these was the adoption of the Pthreads API.
