Bobby Wolf has a good summary of what's happening with the different Web Services packages in the Java world. He writes about packages like JAX-WS and JAX-RPC and where he thinks things are turning to. A nice list of links there as well -> http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/dw_blog_comments.jspa?blog=392&entry=83694&ca=drs-bl
I need your help. I'm going to the PDC and I need to read up on various .NET 2.0 stuff before going there, to get most out of it. ASP.NET and Web Services/Interop is my main focus, so if someone out there knows of a really good book to read, please comment. I got a few books that I've read already, like the "A First Look at ASP.NET v2.0" by Homer/Sussman/Howard, but I'm sure there are more updated ones.
Thanks!
I did my registration to the PDC today, it will be so interesting and fun going there. There will be so many cool tracks and session, it'll be a tough time figuring out which ones to attend to. When I get back I'll have to do some "awareness sessions" for my mates at work, but I don't mind at all doing that.
It seems there will be lots of Swedish people going over the pond this time, so LA watch out :) The last time I was at the PDC I didn't get any chance to see anything of LA except for the Convention Center and the hotel. This time I'll try to go there a day or so ahead.
I needed to generate an XML document that showed all directories and html files in a certain folder and the folders below that. This is what I quickly wipped up:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
namespace MenuBuilder
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for MenuBuilder.
/// </summary>
public class MenuBuilder
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting...");
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<directory>" +
"</directory>");
//recurse through directories and return XmlNodes
XmlElement elem = GetData(@"c:\temp", doc);
doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(elem);
doc.Save(@"c:\temp\dir.xml");
}
private static XmlElement GetData(string dirName, XmlDocument doc)
{
//create a new node for this directory
XmlElement elem = doc.CreateElement("dir");
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(dirName);
elem.SetAttribute("name",di.Name);
foreach (DirectoryInfo dinf in di.GetDirectories())
{
//Recursively call the directory with all underlying dirs and files
XmlElement elemDir = GetData(dirName + "\\" + dinf.Name, doc);
elem.AppendChild(elemDir);
}
//Append the files in this directory to the current xml node
foreach (FileInfo finf in di.GetFiles("*.htm*"))
{
XmlElement elemDir = doc.CreateElement("file");
elemDir.SetAttribute("name",finf.Name);
elem.AppendChild(elemDir);
}
return elem;
}
}
}
If all goes well, I'll be going to the
PDC in September. I keep my fingers crossed. Registration opens June 7 and the prising information is avalable now. There is a
PDC news RSS feed available.
