> Open Source
> ---------------------
> ***PHP Web Services Without SOAP
> Web services are hot these days, and SOAP gets a lot of the buzz. It's 
> not
> the only game in town, though. REST advocates claim their approach is how
> the Web was meant to be. You decide. Adam Trachtenberg, coauthor of "PHP
> Cookbook," demonstrates how to access Amazon.com's web services with PHP
> and REST; no special tools needed!
> http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2003/10/30/amazon_rest.html
>
>
> ***Introducing REBOL with Amazingly Easy GUI Programming
> Cross-platform development and deployment is tricky, though modern
> toolkits aim to take away some of the troubles. Some languages have
> already solved this issue, though. Enter REBOL, a small but powerful
> network-enabled programming language. Gregg Irwin introduces the language
> by writing a tiny survey application.
> http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/10/30/rebol.html
> ---------------------
> Java
> ---------------------
> ***Page Navigation in JavaServer Faces
> Any web application with more than one page needs some sort of 
> navigation.
> Where does the user go when he logs in? Where does he go if his password
> is incorrect? JSF provides an easy-to-update page navigation model in its
> Application Configuration file. Budi Kurniawan explains how it works.
> http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/10/29/jsf_page_nav.html
> ---------------------
> XML
> ---------------------
> ***XForms and Microsoft InfoPath
> Micah Dubinko, author of "XForms Essentials," compares W3C XForms and
> Microsoft InfoPath, the data gathering technology shipping with Microsoft
> Office 2003.
> http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/10/29/infopath.html
>
> XForms Essentials
> Order Number: 3692
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/xforms/
> ---------------------
> Windows
> ---------------------
> ***Five More Annoying PC Annoyances
> Steve Bass, the author of "PC Annoyances," bumped into more Windows,
> Office, Internet, email, and hardware irritations than he could include 
> in
> the book. So, rather than waste them, he's included some of them on our
> web site. Here are five bonus PC annoyances, and Steve's fix for each.
> http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2003/10/29/pcannoyances.html

> future.

>
> ***Ten Things I Dig About Xcode
> Following in the footsteps of "Ten Things I Dig About Panther," James
> Duncan Davidson further explores one of the facets near and dear to Mac
> developers--their application development environment. Apple is
> introducing Xcode, along with Panther, and Davidson takes it for a spin
> and reports on his initial findings.
