  1. Re:Read the TODO list - then build a sample app by twoeggs · · Score: 1 · on Good Ways To Join an Open Source Project?

    Many projects suffer more from lack of good sample or reference applications than good features. If you want to get attention, show people how to use a technology in a way they haven't thought of before. For example, one of the real accelerators for Ruby on Rails has been the success of BaseCamp, which is a really good sample application for RoR. In our project http://sourceforge.net/projects/activegrid/, we have posted a number of ToDos related not just to features but to providing examples of how to use the features http://dev.activegrid.com/community/?q=node/179 To misquote, a sample is worth a thousand features ;-)

  2. ActiveGrid Studio by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on A Database for the Office?

    check it out at http://www.activegrid.com/. We use this to rapidly generate precisely the types of applications you talk about. This does it so quickly , we were able to clear our backlog and get to 'real' work ;)

  3. Re:LAMP Rocks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Beginning PHP and MySQL 5.0

    I couldn't agree enough. I work for a fairly large telecommunications firm and we have used LAMP for years now. We recently found the opensource project, ActiveGrid http://www.activegrid.com/. This goes way beyond an IDE, but is a very useful way to rapidly build, manage and deploy numerous application within a large scale enterprise. That had been my biggest complaint until now, the lack of tools around LAMP. And, yes, we are big enough that we must have support contracts to do any type of large rollout of a technology. For my money, this was a great investment. You might consider looking for LAMP IDE in google to find some others.

  4. Gas Lamp by Ian.Waring · · Score: 1 · on Clustering vs. Fault-Tolerant Servers
    See ActiveGrid - provides a production environment that can scale an app over a Grid of Application Servers each running the LAMP stack. If the middleware over the top is reliable, you've got a largely fault tolerant and ever scalable setup...

  5. Re:Ruby on Rails as a threat to PHP? by DoctoRoR · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Ajax On Rails

    What a troll. PHP is so low performance and scales so poorly that major web sites moved to it from the Java world, and there are enterprise-focused solutions like Active Grid that are now available. It's so un-"useful" that myriad discussion boards and community portals are invariably PHP-based. New development tools and plug-in support for popular design/programming tools are popping up. Each of these web technologies has a sweet spot, but your narrow-minded viewpoint is best revealed by your aversion to "this ancient approach of text-edited, interpreted syntax." Yeah, right. Google and every other major web presence must agree with your assessment since they only use Java and .NET now.

  6. Scalability on demand and third party servers by NZheretic · · Score: 1 · on Comair System Crashes; Passengers Stranded
    First of all, it all depends on what are the bottlenecks in the proccessing of the transactions. That is dictated by the combination of the hardware and network bandwidth and overall design of the existing software system. The worst cases are bottlenecks in the design of the software, where all transactions have to pass some/all data through a single proccess/proccessor. If the problem is just hardware scaleabilty or reliability is the problem then grid/cluster computing can help.

    If you choose a standardized virtualized platform then you need not be limited to using in house clusters. Check out ActiveGrid(TM) info page, it includes support for third party distributed hosting provider such as Akamai, . Other providers in the future, will provide massively scaleable systems such as Cray's Red Storm Cluster. All running Linux.

  7. Scalability and Twelve Step TrustABLE IT by NZheretic · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Comair System Crashes; Passengers Stranded

    Sounds like Comair could have used a little virtualized scalability and third party audited builds.
    See Twelve Step TrustABLE IT : VLSBs in VDNZs From TBAs.
    and also The ActiveGrid(TM) Grid Application Server and Grid Computing in general.
