Next-Gen Web Services: Sun exec urges independence from Microsoft. Official exhorts audience to seek alternatives to PC software giant [InfoWorld: Top News] Again, Sun is out of step with everyone on Web Services and carrying on this personal obsession, including the usual false "Passport is .NET" hoopla: ""Microsoft can obliterate the value on the desktop, including forcing you to sign up for Passport [Microsoft's Internet identity plan]," he said. Are you guys taking seriously the .Net onslaught, which is going on right now?" he asked. Hmm, the Web Services DevCon I went to, that had Microsoft people and IBM people among others, was all about Interop. They wouldn't know because they weren't there and because they fought standards like SOAP and WSDL every step of the the way until they got "religion" recently. If they would stop making fables up about .NET, complaining, and actually get down in the trenches with all the great people trying to make actual Interop happen (some of which just happen to Microsoft employees) they might actually start to make a difference instead of fading out like they are doing. 5:50:08 PM

This is the second in a series of .NET N-Tier case studies. In this study we build an ASP.NET client which consumes our generated N-Tier Framework from part I. We will implement a login system which returns a user's preferences and system permissions. 8:22:22 AM
