SaaS Update: Traditional Application Development Frameworks vs Domain-Specific Frameworks

Talk to any seasoned application developer who's about to embark on a new web application project and you can bet on the following: they have decided on or have narrowed down their choice on an application development framework. The use of some kind of framework is taken for granted. Why do application developers rely on and use frameworks? Because frameworks provide the necessary scaffolding that allows the developer to focus on just the business logic.

A Grid for Every Application

What can I tell you about the attributes of the perfect application for a Grid environment? Or, should you be asking about the perfect Grid environment for your application? As much as you would like these two questions to lead you to the same answer, they rarely, if ever, do. In this article, I will discuss what I like to call the Application Grid—the perfect Grid setup for your application. I am staying away from the term "virtualization" because it is too abstract, and means different things to different people.

Visual C++ Thread Debugging

The great difficulty in thread debugging is the lack of predictability and certainty in application behaviour. For a single-threaded application that is given the same application input, the behaviour will be the same for every execution, which makes tracking down unexpected behaviour quite easy. For a multi-threaded application, behaviour can be different even if user input is constant, because the order in which threads are scheduled for execution will vary each time the application is executed, potentially causing a much wider range of possible behaviours for the same input.

Linux Application Checker Brings Distro Help

Linux application development has always been a tricky business. Although Linux is a solid platform, it is often hard for independent software vendors to develop and maintain packages for all distributions. In response, the Linux Foundation this month released an open beta of Linux Application Checker (AppChecker). The utility, now at Beta 3, helps work through differences between Ubuntu, SuSE, Fedora and more.

Dioxin risk in soil and plant tissues after long-term biosolids application

Land application of biosolids (treated municipal sewage sludge) is a common practice because biosolids are a rich source of plant nutrients and organic matter. However, the presence of detectable levels of dioxins in biosolids led to concerns that farmland application may result in accumulation of dioxins in soil and their subsequent translocation through the human food chain because several congeners of dioxins have extremely high bioaccumulation potential. The USEPA evaluated the risk of dioxins in land applied biosolids and concluded that dioxins from this source do not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment. However, there is very little information available on the effect of long-term application of biosolids on accumulation of dioxins in soil and uptake by plants.

A Database Driven Reporting Application

The reporting needs for an organization often can change, requiring updates to existing reports as well as the addition of new reports. Having to update and re-deploy software each time reports are updated or added can quickly become time consuming. Rather than writing custom code for each type of report within the application, the report-specific information can be shifted outside of the core application. This allows an application to adapt to changing and new reports while minimizing the need for code updates. Instead, updates can be made to the database.

RIFE with possibilities

Developing a Web-based application is never a small undertaking. At the very best it's a lot of work just to develop the code that does whatever it is your application is supposed to do, but before you even get to the point of writing your application's code, you have to decide what you're going to write it in.

So, it's not exactly a native Linux application, but instead runs as a managed application, and may not suit older, slower systems. Still, the new 1.0 release is billed as the "fastest Banshee ever."'
