P# is a Prolog implementation for .NET. It translates Prolog code to C#. DeKlarit inference engine is built in Prolog, so I spend a few hours each day doing Prolog programming. I'll give this one a try...

SOAPScope Ships
SOAPScope Ships "Mindreef SOAPscope Personal is an easy-to-use, toolkit independent diagnostic aid for developers, testers and application support technicians who must isolate Web Services problems. Our primary design goal with SOAPscope Personal was to create the best logger/viewer for Web Services - one that is SOAP, WSDL and XML aware. Most Web Services developers and testers use some type of tracing tool to troubleshoot problems, but the available tools lack the features needed to make troubleshooting efficient. By combining a scaleable logging environment with many innovative features, Mindreef SOAPscope Personal easily meets our original goal."
MindReef showed the beta version at the Web Services DevCon to critical acclaim. It sure looks good.The demo at the Web Services DevCon was really impressive. I really expected that it will be much higher priced. If you are doing Web Services development, you want to pay $99 and get this tool. -

J2EE vs. .NET "Smackdown"
I think both companies did an excellent job and I was very happy to hear them acknowledge the importance of live events, in a variety of different formats. If an event such as this is organized in your area, I think it's definitely worth going to: it is, of course, primarily a marketing exercise by both companies, but I think the content was quite substantial and provided audience members a good understanding of the substantive issues of the platform decision.

.NET vs J2EE Smackdown
I've been asked to be one of the judges for next Monday's .NET vs. J2EE "Smackdown" event in Redwood Shores, which will have reps from Microsoft and Sun slinging code on stage. It ought to be a blast and apparently there are still plenty of seats available, so if you're in the Bay Area, check it out.
