After long long time I touched my Google reader. And I found one really nice article about course webcasts from UC Berkeley. After surfing a bit I found many freely available webcasts from premier institutes like MIT & UC Berkeley.

For example:

Algorithms courses from MIT, webcast courses from many other universities & organizations

Now you can enjoy MIT experience at your home!!! :)

Following article speaks about how MIT’s move of knowledge-sharing is having worldwide impact.

SOAP or REST

Published at February 8, 2008 in emerging technology. 0 Comments

For the uninitiated, SOAP & REST are web service development standards ( REST is more of a style than a standard)

I have been working on REST based web services for past 2 months now. Here’s an article that talks about suitability of a particular web standard depending on application.

I personally find REST pretty cool over SOAP. Its simple, no need of libraries, and is stateless. Authentication and authorization is URL based. Its more like HTTP.

Anyways, both have their pros & cons and both are suitable for different requirements. SOAP works great for a complex web service like bank transaction. Whereas REST is good for resource based push & pull services. In my case, the later was true. So, opting for REST was obvious choice for me.

sun SPOT

Currently I am working on Sun’s latest Wireless Sensors kit called sun SPOT. It is pretty cool thing. It contains couple of sensor nodes with one base station node. All of them have motion, temperature, light sensors built in. And most fascinating part about it is you can program them in Standard Java. No embedded programming and all. You can do lot of funky stuff with it. Go to YouTube and search for “sun SPOT” .

Pretty cool, huh???

For me, its nice way to kill time in vacations ;). Lets hope I come up with something constructive and useful.
