Information is the key in our everyday fast paced lives. The World Wide Web is a huge repository of information. If you are hosting a web site that delivers live data and content such as news feeds, stock market updates or catalogs of products and you find misspelled words this means impending doom for the business aspect of your site. How many times do you find yourself in trouble when your content goes live on the web, you check it out and find a couple of misspelled words shredding all your hard work to pieces? Siddarth Sharangpani shows us how to implement a web-based spellchecker that simplifies time in proofreading the content and will help us organize and archive our data. Adding a spellchecker to your website with ASP, JavaScript and Word 2000 was writen by Siddarth Sharangoani for ASPToday. It requires that you have some previous experience with ASP, JavaScript, and Microsoft Office and is meant for intermediate developers.
Together, Microsoft's ADO data access technology and their dynamic internet package Active Server Pages have become a powerful combination for delivering data-driven content across the web. Combined with RDS - remote Data Services - they allow web developers to manipulate data held in a range of databases smoothly effectively and well. Topics covered include: ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Remote Data Services (RDS) overview; ADO 2.5 object model; Record and Stream objects; Using database Connection objects; Transactions; Events; Working with Command objects; Parameters; Recordset objects (including XML options); Cloning; Sorting; Batch updates and multiple recordsets; Disconnected recordsets and RDS; Metadata and custom recordsets; XML support; Data-shaping tutorial; Using ADO with MTS on the middle tier; RDS objects (basic operations, the RDS data control, ActiveX servers); Oracle with ADO; Oracle stored procedures; ADS and RDS reference.
The explosion of the Internet has redefined networking. What was a strong proprietary networking world has conformed to a rapid race to optimize future networks and provide compatibility to today's and yesterday's legacy systems. The release rate of new technology has tripled in development. The new technologies provide many solutions and options for customers and clients alike. Client expectations and functionality has exponentially increased. All these benefits of growth leaves the customer and Solution Provider trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Two technologies from Microsoft collectively ease the client and solutions providers decision: Microsoft Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) and Microsoft Collaborative Data Objects (CDO). The combination of ADSI and CDO provides the glue that allows easy pasting of any companies' puzzled networks for yesterday, today and tomorrow. For web developers, and network administrators.
The World Wide Web is a loosely coupled data store that could be used as a central repository if only the data on each website were stored in accordance with some common semantics. However, it is possible to mine the data from diverse websites and introduce semantics to it. The possibilities for data mining from a huge collection of html documents across websites express a vast, rich range of information. Unfortunately this information is usually encoded in a format that is difficult to decipher and extract. The plan behind this article is to explore a semi-automated data mining system called Crawler that can be used to create and maintain web based content through interactive mining operations in a hierarchical arrangement. Firstly an overview is presented, both from business and technological viewpoints and it describes the exciting possibilities that this approach offers. And then, a prototype is shown of an Online Comparison Shopping Store.
