Technology of the Year: Publish/Subscribe. A new breed of middleware vendors brought pub/sub messaging down to the desktop. With Kenamea and KnowNow, you can subscribe a spreadsheet cell to a topic that's managed out in the cloud. An event published to that topic -- such as an inventory update -- automatically updates the spreadsheet. It's true that you could do this kind of thing a decade ago, using NetDDE (Network Dynamic Data Exchange) on your Windows for Workgroups LAN. But pub/sub at Internet scale is far more compelling.

Technology of the Year: Open source. Notable Axis adopters in 2002 included Macromedia, whose ColdFusion MX made Web services accessible to CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) developers. Macromedia's Glen Daniels became a major contributor to Axis, and Sam Ruby credits him with key architectural and performance enhancements. Later in the year, Sonic Software joined the Axis project and is now looking to weave asynchronous messaging capability into the engine. It was a great year for Axis and another milestone for open source. [Full story at InfoWorld.com] ... [Jon's Radio]
Axis in the above blurb refers to Apache Axis. The Apache web services toolkit.

Emacs Sources
tsql-indent.el
This is an indentation function for SQL mode. It was written with Transact SQL in mind.
user-add-sql-folding-marks
This is a simple function that adds folding-mode marks to SQL sources. It is quick and dirty, but is fairly useful for me.
remove-line-boundary-in-region
This function removes all the line boundaries in a region. This, in effect, collapses all the lines in the region onto one line.
convert-camel-to-underscore
This function converts all the text that is camel cased in a particular region to underscore separated text.
