My blog entry referenced. I feel useful.
I had made an entry into my blog about web part development. Recently someone had reference my web part blog entry in their blog. It is in French.
I would get it translated soon and find out what was written about my blog. I think he was happy to have all that he needs to know about Web Part development, especially the information on Smart Part.
Here is his blog http://blogs.developpeur.org/redo/archive/2005/02/08/4387.aspx (in French)

BEA ups ante for SharePoint integration and .NET development
Two new BEA Systems products aim to increase value and ease of use for customers using both Java and .NET platforms; the new releases are a milestone on what BEA calls its "unified portal roadmap," announced last December.
BEA made the announcement at the Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit in Las Vegas earlier this week, saying the products in their portal portfolio are designed for customers using .NET-based apps and services with investment in Microsoft technologies. The announcement covers both the new AquaLogic Interaction SharePoint Console, designed to support integration and governance of Windows SharePoint services within a BEA portal deployment; and the Portal .NET Application Accelerator, an integrated toolset for ASP .NET developers working with the WSRP standard.

Automated Smart Client Deployment and Update - Today and Tomorrow
March 31, 2005 (at http://www.theserverside.net)
Smart client application architecture is gaining ground as a replacement for many intranet and some internet web applications. Smart client architectures have many considerations that you need to take into account to build a well robust, reliable, scalable, performant, and secure app. However, building the application is only part of the battle.
Once you get the smart client application designed and tested along with its supporting middle tier components, you need to deploy the application to client machines and support it with (possibly frequent) updates while it is there.
This article will discuss some of your options, including capabilities that exist today with .NET 1.1 such as Windows Installer, No Touch Deployment, and the Updater Application Block, as well as those that will soon arrive with the release of .NET 2.0, specifically ClickOnce.

A Case Study in Performance Tuning
Columnist : Gordon Pollokoff Posted: 01/24/2005 at sqlservercentral.com
Summary:SQL Server does a wonderful job of tuning itself, selecting the optimum query plans and in general performing very well under a variety of conditions. That does not mean the a good DBA cannot add value by setting up the system and ensuring the optimizer receives the information that it needs. New author Gordon Pollokoff brings us a short case study from a project he as recently involved in where a new application required a bit of tuning.
