“Star Wars: The Han Solo Affair is the new film from Spite Your Face Productions, produced for The Lego Group. and developed with the cooperation of Lucasfilm. The stop-motion animated LEGO short presents an ‘alternative’ version of the events which follow Han Solo’s capture in The Empire Strikes Back.”

I laughed ’til I cried.

Don’t miss COBOL for .NET!

“NetCOBOL ™ opens doors to leverage existing COBOL code while taking advantage of the innovative Microsoft .NET platform.”

“SQL Server Centric .NET Code Generator (code named OlyMars) is both a flexible and powerful code generator based on database modeling.

“It allows instant generation of both SQL and .Net code providing a complete library of stored procedures, .NET classes and ready-to-use Windows/Web form controls (including associated documentation).

“SQL Server Centric .NET Code Generator is also fully extensible to use one’s own custom templates and consequently can be adjusted to generate any custom code respecting a homogeneous implementation scheme within the company (can be written either in VB .NET or C# .NET).”

This seems to have punted on the multi-language issues, however. sigh.

From Razvan Caciula:

“The objective for the iNET development team is to re-create the complete .NET deployment framework entirely in Java.”

“For instance with iNET, corporations can deploy .NET based applications integrated with a J2EE server hosted completely on an IBM mainframe and/or Linux instead of Windows.”

Anyone has used this mixture? :)

From the publisher’s summary of A New Kind of Science:

“This long-awaited work from one of the world’s most respected scientists presents a series of dramatic discoveries never before made public. Starting from a collection of simple computer experiments—illustrated in the book by striking computer graphics—Stephen Wolfram shows how their unexpected results force a whole new way of looking at the operation of our universe.”

C# samples by Ted Faison of hosting the WebBrowser control and using ICustomDoc, IDocHostUIHandler and IDocHostShowUI to "achieve complete control over WebBrowser."

From Razvan Caciula: You have all here about parametric polymorphism in the CLR using an extended version of C#.

From Razvan Caciula: I like Chris Sells's books, but also i like romanians too :> I'm preparing for a technical interview and i founded this book very useful.
