Earlier this week, I've posted an article on this subject and it can be found on the Jumptree Blog. Overall, I went through the steps from setting up up Active directory to how ASP.NET authenticates against the new setup. I always find it is more clear to developers if we know how the system works behind the scene. As we all know, larger size corporations and agencies normally uses Active Directory to manage their internal users for various of reasons. Personally, because we are a small shop and...

This article pretty summarizes the sentiments of developers who worked extensively on both the Java environment and the .Net environments. Again, I can’t comment on Ruby on Rail or PHP because I don’t have experiences with them, but what I CAN tell people is that if you are a Java/Ruby/PHP developer then you have to try out the .NET platform yourself to truly appreciate what you are missing. It’s not a conflicted statement. I haven’t tasted apple before, but I can still tell you if you’ve never tried...

Been looking around for Babelfish services across the web, mainly services from Altavista, Yahoo, Google and Windows Live, it'd seems like this is a direction that all major competitors are trying to achieve and in my personal opinion, it's one service that will actually have a huge impact around the world. Unfortunately, from my research, none of these sites expose it as web services, even if they do, like Google, it's restricted purely for academic research purpose only. Will it be nice if they...

To be honest, workflow engine is a concept hard to digest. If you haven't used it before, then it's probably hard to imagine where to use it and why you should use it. During my previous project, I had the pleasure of using a workflow engine developed by Cardiff, it's call Liquid Office (v4.1). While the development experience with it was not so great (and I'll explain what and why later on), it definitely helped me understood the benefits of using a workflow and jump started my interest in .NET...

Oh well, it seems as if I have gone away forever, things are rolling around as if it's out of control. I have been pretty much been rolling in the mud, learning Liquid Office v4. Spring MVC, Hibernate, JSTL and Websphere 5, 6, and 7 releases. On the .NET side, Visual Studio 2008 came out, workflow foundation, silverlight, presentation/communication foundations are and will be my main focuses in the next few month. Schedule is tight and personal life is going crazy, I don't get much time at all left...

I had to reformat my PC, no way out of it, but little did I expect the amount of time to get all my software installed. I keep a list of the absolute necessary software that I need to do my work, they have to be free, open source, help me be productive and to keep my PC as clean as possible this time, I narrowed them down to 1/3 of the software that used to be on my computer and yet? It's still HUGE. What in the world? I looked them over and over again, I just can't live without any of them, it's...

Well, it’s decided that we are going to have a little promotion here for all my readers out there.

Some of you have emailed us and asked if it’s possible for us to give you a free copy of Jumptree Project...

It has been awhile and as I mentioned previously , I've seen several people searched “web installer” from search engines and stumble crossed my web site. Unfortunately, I never went into details of how a web installer works, I sincerely hope those who left found their solution eventually. When we started Jumptree Project Management , one of the core requirements is to simplify the process of installing a web application and after much research and experiments, we think we've came up with a rather...

Today, I’m glad to finally announce the official release of Jumptree ASP.NET 2.0 Project Management software – to effectively manage projects, milestones, tasks and clients interactions. As some of you probably know, it has been two month since the Beta of Jumptree Project Management was released. During these two month, thanks to input of the many Beta testers, we’ve collected bugs, made improvements, changed workflows and tightened securities. In addition, we’ve been working hard to improve the...

New update! We've just posted this news on our offical blog, basically with a bit delay due to various feedbacks that we got back from our beta testers, we are going to release our offical v1 in about 1 weeks of time. In addition (here comes my little gossip), our web designer Jackson is extremely detail oriented and sometimes a bit too anal to developer's liking, we had to fix every single extra "pixel" and "space" that if you don't look carefully with your nose literally touching the screen, then...

There will be another minor update to the Jumptree forum application coming up sometimes next week with a few new exciting features. J In the past two weeks, I have been busy trying to resolve issues that are left in the Jumptree Project Management while at the same time, handling multiple other developments such as customer support portal, ecommerce integration and Jumptree NHibernate Forum. After the Jumptree Nhibernate forum was deployed earlier this month, we’ve made several changes and added...

I know it's my Java blog and my software is made in ASP.NET 2.0 (you are probably using some non-Java based project management software anyway like basecamp, mantis and what not right?), so I still feel like I should let everyone know that we’ve just updated and released the beta 1.0.0.1 version . There are a couple of things we fixed based on user feedbacks Installer Errors – A few of the beta testers encountered the Email Warning at the end of the installer. This has been fixed because there was...

Get it while it's HOT. Yahoo UI Ext is now renamed as Ext JS and it is now in Beta. I believe it is now compatiable with JQuery as well as Scriptaculous. I've talked about the Yahoo UI Ext in my earlier posts and to recap on what it has to offer, here are the screen shots again to refresh everyone's memory 1. An Ajax Search That turns up search result with paging! Useful! 2. Post your comment is this window and view the comments in a separate tab! 3. Want to add a new tab? Here it is! 4. Want to...

We’ve just updated and released the beta 1.0.0.1 version . There are a couple of things we fixed based on user feedbacks Installer Errors – A few of the beta testers encountered the Email Warning at the end of the installer. This has been fixed because there was a concurrent accessing error when reading the email configuration file. In addition, from users’ descriptions, there seems to a problem updating connection string in the configuration file. We realized our installer was not logging all the...

My website will temporarily be out of service tonight between 11:00pm-1:00am for upgrading to Community Server 2.1 There are quite a few features that I want and in particular, I’d like to use two default skins provided via Community Server 2.1. One is the skin designed via “Soup.Za.Ca”, an example of it can be seen here and another one is the “Journalist” theme which looks like the New York Times design, very clean and professional which can be seen here I expect there is going to be some problems...

I can say the Jumptree Forum in Nhibernate implementation is 95% complete. I have yet to write up the article as it take a little time to organize all the information. I hope you will wait and come back soon for the next part in the series. To give you a snake preview, see the flash demo here. Just so you know, I've tested with 10, 000 threads in discussion and everyting were retreived back in under 4/5 seconds. Very fast and efficient. If you have doubted the NHibernate performance before, rest...

I happen to came across this text in a recent movie and I found it to be quite interesting. It’s written by the ancient Chinese military strategist Zhu Ge Lian (181-234) to his Emperor before he went on his military campaign. The text serves as his recommendations and suggestions to the Emperor as how to govern a country, how to govern the people, what it means to be a good Emperor and how to stabilize a regime among other things. In reflection, we can tell the characters of Zhu Ge Lian, his loyalty...

Two weeks ago, when I first looked into WPF/E , I was confused and didn't know what it was. Ever since, I've been trying to read up on the subject and I'm some what getting up to speed now.
