Rogue Wave Software's donation of its C++ Standard Library software to the
Apache Software Foundation is expected to engender positive comments from the
open-source community and entail new benefits for developers. The C++
Standard Library, which is a critical component of many enterprise
applications, is available through the Apache Software Foundation's Incubator
program under the project name stdcxx.
It can be found at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/stdcxx.html.
"Today's professional developer plays a crucial, yet potentially overlooked,
role in the success of the 21st century enterprise," said Cory Isaacson

Java server does contain some major advances, but many are only partially
realized with the release.
One of the most significant changes in Tomcat 5.5 is the use of open source
Eclipse Java development tools (JDT). Developers are no longer incumbent on
Sun's SDK to compile Java. Furthermore, the use of Eclipse JDT means that the
full JDK is no longer a requisite... (more)

There's a common misconception among many end users, consumers, and
developers that AJAX is the ultimate solution for the Web, and that it can
provide all the same functionality as a rich desktop solution. Sure, AJAX can
mimic the functionality provided by a desktop application, but there's still
one area that has yet to be fully integrated: scalable, server-initiated
message delivery and client-side storage. Comet Request processing is an
advanced technique to enable real-time messaging from a Web server to one or
more browsers, databases and services. This session will highligh... (more)
