For those of you who read this blog but not the mv.NET category of the Nebula R&D forum, follow this link to the forum to get info on a new video I just put on the site. I could have posted info here with discussion there, today I did it the other way around. So sue me.

It’s been a while since I’ve published an entry here. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been writing – I have over 30 unpublished blog entries. I just need to clean them up one of these days when I have some time. LOL, like that day will ever come… Anyway, I decided to write something up [...]

OK, the title is a little tacky, but if you’re humming a tune about San Jose California then you get the joke. In response to a posting to the U2 User’s list I decided to post some comments here about Service Oriented Architecture.

I’m frequently asked to compare PDP.NET and mv.NET. I have therefore written this long list of reasons why I believe mv.NET is a better choice. This article is password-protected pending review but will be opened soon for public viewing. Until then, please email for access.

The following is some great information posted to the Raining Data web forum by Robert Burke, their new Technical Support Director. I’ve posted it here verbatim for your benefit.
