From the page: "This is the third article in an introductory series about the Windows Presentation Foundation. In the previous article we examined layout panels and how they are used to create WPF user interfaces. In this article we will explore the world of data binding, and how it is put to use in the WPF Horse Race demo application (which is available for download at the top of the first article in this series).

For a comprehensive review of WPF data binding be sure to refer to the links listed in the External links section at the bottom of the page. This article covers the bare essentials of WPF data binding, and demonstrates various ways in which the WPF Horse Race application uses data binding. "

From the page: "Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance. These applications place very different demands on Bigtable, both in terms of data size (from URLs to web pages to satellite imagery) and latency requirements (from backend bulk processing to real-time data serving). Despite these varied demands, Bigtable has successfully provided a flexible, high-performance solution for all of these Google products. In this paper we describe the simple data model provided by Bigtable, which gives clients dynamic control over data layout and format, and we describe the design and implementation of Bigtable. "

From the page: "In this, the second in a two part screencast on data synching, I show you how to use RDA (Remote Data Access) to sync data between a Windows Mobile device and a SQL Server instance."

From the page: "This screencast is an introduction to using SQL Server Mobile as a local data repository for your Windows Mobile applications.

I walk you through the creation of a SQL Mobile database, how to deploy the DB with your app, how to tie into the data source, and then how to get the IDE to do the rest of the work for you "

The SQL Server family offers two products suitable for local storage: Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. With the release of SQL Server Compact for desktop scenarios, Microsoft is positioning SQL Server Compact as the default local database. However, both editions are free to download and deploy. Choosing between the SQL Server Express and SQL Server Compact of SQL Server can be difficult because they seem to target the same scenarios. This paper helps developers understand the benefits of each edition and when each edition should be used for local data storage.

From the page: "At Microsoft, we believe that software should provide you with choices that let you find the solution best tailored to your business†needs. To that end, we have redesigned the SQL Server 2005 product family to better meet the needs of each customer segment with four new editions: Express, Workgroup, Standard, and Enterprise. As a low-cost mainstream database, SQL Server 2005 will deliver unprecedented value and functionality compared with competitive solutions. The four new editions will offer a range of features, from high availability and robust scalability to advanced business intelligence tools, designed to empower the people across your organization through a more secure, reliable, and productive data management platform. Additionally, with the reduced application downtime, robust scalability and performance, and tight security controls, SQL Server 2005 represents a dramatic step forward in supporting the most demanding enterprise systems in the world. Because SQL Server is part of Windows Server System, you will also receive the added benefits of reduced total cost of ownership and faster development time through the increased manageability and integration that result from the common engineering strategy implemented across Windows Server System products. The table below presents details about each of the different editions."
