Hi Shamil:
I have never had an issue with ADO.Net technology... but it will be a while
before I can claim professional competence in the product but I believe it
is going the right way... that is browser based.
My only apprehension is not being able to deliver a web-based service
because a client or completely unknown customer is either using the 'wrong'
OS, browser to deliver/receive services or is simply not patch up enough.
I am starting to see a number of web sites that have been 'blocked' because
they are not using the right version of browser IE7 and not IE8 or FF or
Chrome etc... or do not have the appropriate technology installed on their
desktop.
I have been unable to get some of the Silver-light based code running on
some of my systems even though I have the latest version of Framework and
Silver installed. XP and Vista and even Window7 seem be fine but Server2003
and Server2008 are another matter... and of course Linux/Mac even running FF
are toast.
I have starting to see the marrying of browser and desktop and personally I
feel we should be going in the other direction. More loose binding.
I agree with you completely about the MS tools and most clients are using MS
desktops. In this area, the government and well as the military and local
university/colleges are Oracle/Java. My experiences with project bids have
been quite different. After spending a month developing proof of concept,
proving that MS SQL was a superior product, easier to deploy and at 50% of
the cost of Oracle... the bid was lost on only one point... it wasn't
standard.
Maybe these tight times will encourage IT managers to take another look at
MS SQL.
Sorry for going on but some comments seem to need a response.
Jim

Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Problem while publishing ADO.NET Data Service...
Hi Jim,
I'm working for money here - the main purpose for me to learn new MS
technologies is to get a competetive advantage, not fun...
As far as I see ADO.NET Entity Framework and ADO.NET Data Services are
becoming a kind of "ODBC for 2010ies" - this is an emerging technology but
it's getting all the main database technology players embraced already:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/dd363565.aspx
And Silverlight is targeted not only for Windows but for Mac and Linux
also...
And I'm not going "to marry my customers to me" because of using MS
technologies - the fact is that there are a lot of competing providers in my
area of software development...
As for Oracle, PHP, Linux - I have never had opportunity to work using them
as it wasn't requested by my customers but a couple of times I have had
opportunity to directly compete with other companies who used Oracle for the
same customer - both times they were "beaten" by my and my colleagues
services, and our "forces" were usually several times less - one time it was
2 developers/consultants against a company having stuff of 100+
developers/consultants...
MS tools are becoming really mature these days, and if properly applied they
allow to "make wonders" even on moderate hardware...
> 4. The trend is towards 'portability' on cross-platform environments.
In my opinion, nowadays customers first of all need working software ASAP -
and MS development tools help to satisfy those needs/market demands. And I'm
not trying to embrace the whole software development market - I mean custom
software development - business applicationx for small-/middle-size
businesses - here MS tools fit very well IMO - just IMO...
Thank you.
