Microsoft Web Platform Installer & Windows Web Application Gallery !

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Among the initiatives that Microsoft has to facilitate the design and creation of Web applications, this week we find two important components focused on that idea: the Web Platform Installer and the Windows Application Web Gallery. In the case of the Web Platform Installer, we find that Microsoft continues to evolve this utility you can install at a stroke a lot of ingredients we might need to build our web applications. In the Windows Application Web Gallery, we have a resource center where people can find applications and free technology. NET and PHP available for download. But let us see in detail each of these applications.

Web Platform Installer


As I said, Microsoft has just released the first beta of version 2.0 of the Web Platform Installer, which allows us to form a unified set of components that make up the stack of a typical web platform, and all this in just 1 MB. Among the components included (and whose installation is fully customizable), we have:

* Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1 on Windows XP SP3.
* IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 SP2.
* IIS 7.0 on Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008.
* SQL Server 2008 Express.
* .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
* Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.
* IIS Extensions including:
o IIS 7 Media Services 3.0.
o IIS7 Administration Pack.
o Database Manager for IIS7.
o WebDav 7.5.
o FTP 7.5.
o FastCGI for PHP support on IIS6.
o URL Rewrite.
o IIS 7 Application Routing.
o Web Deployment Tool for IIS.S.
* ASP.NET and features such as ASP.NET MVC.
* Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio.
* The Community Version of PHP v5.2.9.

In this case we have a portfolio of applications and ASP.NET PHP fully tested as DotNetNuke, DasBlog, Graffiti, Drupal, WordPress, phpBB (incidentally, another proof of the shift to open source that Microsoft is doing) for lists download and install.

Adobe Buzzword: is an online text editor

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Recently Adobe Labs public information on an interesting project named Adobe Buzzword is an online text editor, based on Adobe Flex. An example of what is being generated with the Web 2.0

Adobe Buzzword allows the editing of documents provided a personal repository, in addition to carrying the history of changes, control versions, collaboration with others (co-authors) and access control roles. Another feature to consider is that it can export documents to various formats: PDF, MS Office 2003/2007, HTML, Text.

To access the application with just enough to register and obtain an ID and have Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer.

Excellent tool, but I notice that fails to recognize the characteristics of 100% MS Office 2007 documents, but is still a Beta and is on track.

Multi-Language In Any Web Page With Google API

Multi-language In Any Web Page (HTML, PHP, ASP.NET etc) With Google API

live_preview Demo      downloadDownload Code

Mostly Web Programmers Multilanguage in ASP.NET is by using Localization & Resource rules. But this rule cant use with HTML, PHP etc. Now I’m changing to new rules with Google AJAX Language API. It is very useful for programmers. Click here to read about Localization & Resource

Advantage & Disadvantage

Advantage:
1: Reduce programming time
2. Reduce file size, In Localization & Resource rules, we need resource files by each language
3. No need to find meaning of unknown language for creating site
4. Only one language to store in XML or..5. No need C# & VB.NET.

Disadvantage:
1. Need Internet connection for connecting to Google AJAX Language API’s Script

Click here to read about Google Language AJAX API.
I have a sample program as below. I Hope you will understood.

 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
 
google.load("language", "1");
 
 
function fnTrans(strTransText,strTransField, strTransFLang, strTransTLang)
{
 // Translation
 google.language.translate(strTransText, strTransFLang, strTransTLang, function(result) {
          var strcontainer = document.getElementById(strTransField);
          strcontainer.innerHTML = result.translation ;
 
      });
}
 
function initialize(strToTxtBox, strFromTxtBox) {
 
 // Translate English to German
 
 strFLang = 'en' //English
 strTLang = 'de' //German
 
 var strText = document.getElementById(strFromTxtBox).innerHTML; //Get Lable Name
 
 fnTrans(strText,strToTxtBox, strFLang,strTLang)
 
}
 
 function fnhi()
  {
 
  initialize('ToLableName_FN', 'FrmLableName_FN' ); // First Name
 
  initialize('ToLableName_LN', 'FrmLableName_LN' ); // Last Name
 
  }
</script>
 
  </head>
  <body onload="fnhi()">
 
      <label id="FrmLableName_FN" >First Name</label>
      <br />
  <label id="ToLableName_FN"></label>
  <input type="text" name="txtFname" />
</br>
