Java and JavaScript are very different languages, although the similarity in the names and the similar C-like syntax can confuse people sometimes. In this article by Stoyan Stefanov, let's take a look at one pretty major difference - how objects are created. In Java, you have classes. Then objects, a.k.a. instances, are created based on those classes. In JavaScript, there are no classes and objects are more like hash tables of key-value pairs. Then what about inheritance? OK, one step at a time.

Active Directory (AD) failure, which includes corruption, is something that is dreaded by any administrator. Simply put, it means that the directory service can no longer read the Active Directory database that it has locally. This will prevent logon and authentication as well as any directory-dependent services. Essentially, it renders the domain controller (DC) useless. What's worse, though, is that several times, the replication keeps going so that the corrupted database spreads out to the other DCs.
In this article by Florian Rommel, we will look at the different options and approaches available to recover a DC that has a database corruption. In addition, this article outlines, symptoms, causes, and solutions for this scenario.

So far, the general approach towards SOA has been that it is just a tidying-up of application integration. SOA, according to this approach, is not about building new a business functionality but about organizing existing systems. In this article by Michael Havey, we will see that, in reality, SOA is more than merely getting organized. Its principal mandate is to build something new; indeed, SOA is fundamentally about building new processes. We will consider an approach to SOA architecture that is, yes, methodical, but has the burden of actually designing new and challenging orchestration and ESB processes.
In this article, we will build examples of choreography and orchestration, study best practices for message handling in orchestration processes, and develop fundamental orchestration concepts, such as interaction, invisible hub, and deferred choice.
