Creating a VB.NET application with EnterpriseDB
Getting introduced to working with Postgres was described in the recent article, "installation and some basic features of EnterpriseDB". Migration of data from SQL Server 2008 was described in "The migration of a table from SQL Server 2008 to EnterpriseDB". In this tutorial Dr. Jayaram Krishnaswamy shows how you may create a Visual Studio 2008's Windows application to access data on EnterpriseDB. Reading of two previous articles is recommended.

In this article by Andrew Siemer, we will talk about the concept of Blogging and how it could be applied to our community site Fisharoo. With search engines, users, and security in mind, Andrew invests a part of this article to address an issue that plagues many dynamic websites—query string data being used to determine page output.
The article starts with the discussion of Problem, that is, what we need to do to achieve success for the article's topic-Blogs so to speak. Then it moves on to Design where we decide on and write down the physical requirements for our feature. And finally comes the Solution part where we discuss how to implement all the requirements for each feature.

SOA is an architectural design pattern by which several guiding principles determine the nature of the design. Basically, SOA states that every component of a system should be a service, and the system should be composed of several loosely-coupled services.WCF is the acronym for Windows Communication Foundation. It is Microsoft's latest technology that enables applications in a distributed environment to communicate with each other.WCF is an umbrella technology that covers ASMX web services, .NET remoting, WSE, Enterprise Service, and System Messaging. It is designed to offer a manageable approach to distributed computing, broad interoperability, and direct support for service orientation. WCF supports many styles of distributed application development by providing a layered architecture. At its base, the WCF channel architecture provides asynchronous, untyped message-passing primitives. Built on top of this base are protocol facilities for secure, reliable, transacted data exchange and a broad choice of transport and encoding options. In this article by Mike Liu, we will implement a basic WCF service from scratch.
