Mike Amundsen has posted his TaskList Demo

Found out through Roger Jennings' blog here that Mike Amundsen has posted his TaskList demo. Mike says that the code is not quite ready for live demo but it works for now. You can find it here. Thanks Mike for posting it and Roger for pointing us to it. If you have built any such demos and would like to share it, please send us the link. You can post it in the comments or ping me (soumitrs at <ignore this stuff> microsoft.com).

c'Urling on SSDS with Jeff

kellyalt — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Jeff Currier just posted this blog post where he talks about using cURL with SSDS. This illustrates why we are taking an incremental approach. Using cURL with SSDS was not even on our radar till one of the first customers to go on the "restricted beta" wanted to use this. Jeff dug into it and helped them along. Now he is sharing this out with everyone else. When we started down this path, we were willing to be surprised. This is one of them. I am sure many more are on the way.

Jeff has posted some SOAP samples

Most of the sample code that Jeff, Jason and David Robinson have posted so far show you how to use the REST interface when coding against SSDS. Jeff has just posted his first SOAP example here. We are interested in finding out how many out there will build against REST and how many will build using SOAP. What are the considerations when you think about using one or the other? How can we make these interfaces better over time? These are some of the questions we have in our mind. Would love to hear from you.

Here is the link to some quick code Dave wrote up in 20 mins under pressure to demonstrate how easy it is to provision a SSDS Authority and Container and start inserting SSDS Flex Entities into them. I hope this demonstrates that it is quite simple to get started with storing your structured data in SSDS and write an application against it.

Hey Dave, I am hoping you had a taste of Chuck's Irish Bomb :-)) That stuff looks pretty evil.

Eugenio Pace continues with his Litware HR app

Eugenio has published the 3rd installment of his article on building the Litware HR application that Nigel demonstrated at MIX08. Here he discusses enhancement to his data access layer by caching data locally. It is a good read.

Interacting with SSDS using Excel

kellyalt — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 19:36:00 GMT

David Robinson describes here how to interact with data stored in SSDS using Excel as the client. Cool. He is off adding Synch to this. That would be real cool.

Jeff Currier has posted some code samples for SSDS

kellyalt — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:36:00 GMT

Jeff is one of the developers on the SSDS project. He just sent me a note indicating that he has posted his SSDS code sample here. Very cool.
