Although tsunamis and earthquakes isn't quite the subject of this site, we are featuring this article so as to do our little bit towards helping those affected in the tsunami and earthquake that has struck Asia. This blog is a compilation of information, resources, relief funds and ways in which you can help. We at IndicThreads are contributing to the prime minister's relief fund and we encourage you to contribute to any such reliable fund or organization.
Thanks.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a subject it seems Java folks just can't have enough of these days. All the hype around SOA has made it so big a concept that there's no running away from it.
It's quite likely that even marketing guys, CEOs and all project managers will soon start insisting that all Java development in the company should be using SOA. Jokes apart, it does make sense to check out SOA today. |

I have been reading a discussion about Computer Book Piracy on the Yahoo Group ComputerBookAuthors. As most piracy discussions, this too has got into a developed vs developing nations argument. Here's my two cents on the matter. |

Starting November 23, 2004, JBoss Inc will hold its first public training in Bangalore,
INDIA. This in my opinion, opens the doors to learn more about JBoss
and its open source products. I will try to blog on the day's
proceedings at the end of each training day. Additional details about
JBoss Public Trainings can be obtained at
http://www.jboss.com/services/training
People who have not been able to register for the November training, can try to get into the one being held in January.
In 4 hours, I board the plane to India from Chicago. |

As per http://www.hibernate.org, Hibernate is a powerful, ultra-high performance object/relational persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate gives you the option to code and work with Java and use Hibernate's capabilities to interact with the database. No need to write SQL in your Java code. You work with Java objects and Hibernate does the rest. In this "Quick Hibernate" series of articles, Satish Talim gets you started with Hibernate. Satish's hands-on approach should have you developing with Hibernate in no time.

 A long time ago Internet Explorer had a competitor. However over the past few years, it has been IE all the way. Netscape's share dropped sharply and although Opera is a very good browser it never became a serious IE competitor. Mozilla Firefox hopes to compete with the IE giant and win!
