- XML as a Bridge between SQL and Web Applications
- ------------------------------------------------
- Over the past few years XML technology has gained great popularity

- This article looks at how XML can be used as a "transport protocol"
- between a database and an end user.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A15729
- Web Service vs Web Workspace Part II By Robbe Morris
- ----------------------------------------------------
- XML plays a key role in moving data from our desktop app to the web
- site and back again. Speed is also a key factor and anyone who has
- worked with XML files knows they can get quite large. With that in
- mind, I went looking for an XML streaming compression component and
- found a fantastic one from XCeed.

- even if the box is invisible.

- The father of computer graphics
- -------------------------------
- Back in 1960, interactive computer graphics would have seemed like

- stacks of prepunched cards onto computers like the Whirlwind at MIT.
- The Whirlwind weighed 250 tons, powered 12,500 vacuum tubes, and filled
- a two-story house. But in 1960, all the elements needed for CAD to
- become a reality were in place.
