Strengths/Comments: 1. Now this is what I call a great mashup of all the resources. Like always I did in the previous iteration, I really liked your website. 2. Discussion Group is a good addition. Adding a user input feature adds a good value to the website. 3. I guess I have written this earlier in my review but I wanna repeat it again. I loved the way you have integrated google calender to show the schedule. Idea for the future: Well you have included all the services and features you can. I cant think of anything that I can suggest you. Keep the website up and running!! -Praneeth]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/iteration3review_of_team_extreme_by_praneeth.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/iteration3review_of_team_extreme_by_praneeth.shtml iteration3review TeamExtreme Sun, 22 Apr 2007 13:29:45 -0500 MCubed. Strengths/Comments: 1. A pretty neat mashup. I like indeed search a lot, it is an efficient way of searching for something. 2. I remember you had just 10 jobs to display in the iteration2. Providing more jobs to display is a great addition. 3. See results by City is again a good addition from the last iteration Idea for the future: If possible you can reduce the number of lines you wrote to describe about the website in the home page. You could write more about your mashup in the "about" page. You also have scope to improve the "See Results By City" feature. -Praneeth]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/iteration3review_of_mcubed_by_praneeth.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/iteration3review_of_mcubed_by_praneeth.shtml iteration3review MCubed Sun, 22 Apr 2007 13:18:53 -0500 myfavoriteplaces. Strengths/Comments: 1. Very Easy Functionality and easy to understand what your website is all about. No intro needed. 2. The layout of the page is very good. 3. Your rss feed looks really cool. Great Job with that!! Idea for the future: If possible you should ask the first time user to see the website before asking him to login straight away. -Praneeth]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/iteration3review_of_myfavoriteplaces_by_praneeth.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/iteration3review_of_myfavoriteplaces_by_praneeth.shtml iteration3review MyFavoriteplaces Sat, 21 Apr 2007 12:23:33 -0500 link I have used for review. Strengths/Comments: 1. Your iteration 2 and iteration 3 are like south and north pole. You have made a such a good progress. 2. The mashup is just wonderful and the way you have incoporated the map in little window is cool. 3. The controls are easy and simple to use which is most essential for your target audience. Idea for the Future: May be you should include the directions( to and from) too in that window if possible in the future that would be of real help to the users. -Praneeth.]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/hack_n_mash_iteration3review_by_praneeth.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/hack_n_mash_iteration3review_by_praneeth.shtml Hack n Mash Iteration3Review Thu, 19 Apr 2007 10:37:04 -0500 Link for my review. Strengths/Comments: 1. Very Neat Functionality. 2. I Liked the way you have used Amazon API. 3. Very Large and Specific Target Audience.

There you go !! an addition to my to my list of online replacements for desktop applications that I have posted earlier in my blog/. I still believe some day online applications would replace desktop applications..I was talking about the same with one of my friends who doesn't agree with me. He told me how web applications suck up your time sometimes with network problems...Lets wait and see where web2.0 or as a matter of fact web3.0 will take us.]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/re_google_challenges_microsoft.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/re_google_challenges_microsoft.shtml Desktop Applications Web2.0 Tue, 17 Apr 2007 19:14:24 -0500 Intel is developing its own take on the mini-tablet, with a new ultra-mobile PC platform to be announced at this week ’s Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. The big surprise? It’s based on Linux. Technology has no stopping today, its getting better day by day. Intel itseems began breaking away from Microsoft when the new MacBooks, Macbook Pros, and Mac Pros started to come with Intel CPUs. Now they are coming up with their own independent hardware. I am kinda eager to see whether or not Intel will succeed in its foray into this field. Microsoft wont be happy about all this positive linux news and mass-migrations...big companies are now finally starting to tell Microsoft where they can shove their licensing agreements ;) and are giving linux the big thumbs up !! I am not against Microsoft or anything but just love to see where this huge competition will lead them to.

This toolkit enables you to use Java syntax to create the JavaScript necessary for Ajax user interfaces. It is for the people who are little bit familar with java concepts.This tutorial explains how to use XML with the GWT, a set of Java classes designed to make the creation of Ajax-enabled Web sites easier. You will build a very small, very simple mashup application, combining information from three different source as you learn how to send, receive, manipulate and create XML using the GWT.

Its like this you send the error, they resolve it and build a whole new package and sell it to you for 100 dollars more than the regular price :) -Praneeth]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/what_happens_when_you_click_on_send_error_report.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/what_happens_when_you_click_on_send_error_report.shtml Error Reports Microsoft Sun, 15 Apr 2007 21:33:39 -0500 See the whole list here -Praneeth]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/list_of_computer_ebooks.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/pvuppala/2007/04/list_of_computer_ebooks.shtml e-books Fri, 13 Apr 2007 22:46:21 -0500 I guess spam guys are running a marathon.
