Yes this is wicked cool. Of course it is using adobe air. This little app really rocks I am so impressed. Here is a few screen shots.

 Looks pretty doesn't it?

Had to get even the loading shot.

 

This is smooth.

 

All Hail Nicolas.

I love Yahoo for this and the YUI Install it on your blog today.

Yahoo Media Player.

Adds audio to your site with one line of HTML

Uses simple, easy-to-hack HTML instead of complicated proprietary markup, ushering in the REAL Media Web

Magical floating design never gets lost, is available when you need it, gets out of your way when you don't need it

Automatically finds all audio links on your page, turning your page into a playlist

Plays all your blog entries with a single button click

Allows you to put the play buttons where they belong: IN CONTEXT

Keeps the user in the page rather than sending them away to a media player

Picks up your images and adds them as cover art

Requires no download, install or maintenance

Windows Vista SP1 is set to be released any moment. If you want to get a jump on the download and install that takes multiple restarts and a full 2 hours. At least for me. However once it is installed Service Pack 1 really feels smooth.

Here is the script to change your registry to allow for the windows update download:

@echo off

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp1 /f > NUL 2>&1
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSP1 /f > NUL 2>&1

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp1 /v Beta1 /t REG_SZ /d dcf99ef8-d784-414e-b411-81a910d2761d /f
IF NOT %errorlevel% == 0 ( goto ERROR)

:SUCCESS
@echo.
echo ===========================================================
echo  Windows Vista SP1 registry key has been set successfully.
echo  Please check for updates in Windows Update.
echo ===========================================================
@echo.
goto END

:ERROR
@echo.
echo ===========================================================
echo  FAILED to set Windows Vista SP1 registry keys.
echo  Please run this script by right clicking and selecting
echo  "Run as Administrator".
echo ===========================================================
@echo.
goto END

:END
pause

file (will need adminstrator permissions to install)

Astoria has become ADO.NET Data Services Framework.

Data in the web:

• Ajax applications
• Silverlight applications
• Online Services
• Mashups

Restful Interface for Data:

• Just Http
• Data as resources, HTTP methods to act on it.
• Uniform URL syntax
•   Every piece of info is addressable
• Multiple representation
•    Use regular HTTP content-type negotiation
•    Atom, JSON, Plain XML

Book: Restful Web Services

Drill down data using Astoria(http request or get)

Model and Operation Semantics

• Underlying data model
•       Entity Data Model
•       Entities -> Resources
•      Associations -> Links

• Operation semantics
•       Usual mapping of HTTP methods
•       Get -> retrieve resource
•       Post -> create resource
•       Put -> update resource
•      Delete -> delete resource

URL Conventions

Addressing entities and sets

    Entity-set /Bookmarks

    Single entity /Bookmarks(123)

    Member access /Bookmarks(123)/Name

    Link Traversal  /Bookmarks(123)/Tags

    Deep access /Bookmarks(123)/Tags/('abc')

    Raw value access /Bookmarks(123)/Names/

Key words and syntax:

    $value get rid of (goo) xml or data tags

    $filter = Color eq Red  Get color red by filter Dollar signs so you don’t use names?

    $orderby

     = or eq

    $paging

     $top

      $skip

       &

      $expand  (=has to be a link)

     /

     Format your data just using a http strings

 

Data Services

•   Various data sources
•      Entity Framework
•      Linq providers

Model-driven

•     Structural description in Entity Data Model
•     Metadata shapes service

Create a linq provider use Astoria to turn it into service and you have http data access.

Set your rules in your class or web.config.

"config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("",EntitySetRights.All);"

Refining and Securing Services

• Visibility

           Read, Query, and Write options.

• Authentication
• Interceptors

          Execute before HTTP GET/PUT/POST/DELETE

• Service Operations

              Custom entry points /MyTags?startDate='2002-28-08'

Astoria is:

Ajax integrated

Silverlight supported

 

Astoria is the future of data mining!
