Introducing Lucene.Net
Lucene.Net is a high performance Information Retrieval (IR) library, also known as a search engine library. Lucene.Net contains powerful APIs for creating full text indexes and implementing advanced and precise search technologies into your programs. Some people may confuse Lucene.net with a ready to use application like a web search/crawler, or a file search application, But Lucene.Net is not such an application, it a framework library. Lucene.Net provides a framework for implementing these difficult technologies yourself. Lucene.net makes no discriminations on what you can index and search, which gives you a lot more power compared to other full text indexing/searching implications, you can index anything that can be represented as text. There are also ways to get Lucene.net to index HTML, Office documents, PDF files and much more.

GWT: Building A Model
The model layer of a GWT application has to be a little bit smarter than the model in many traditional web applications. It needs to be responsible for notifying the view layer of changes, as well as for receiving updates to its own structure. In desktop Java development, this is accomplished through the use of PropertyChangeEvents and PropertyChangeListeners that bind the data from the model to the view components. The view layer "listens" for changes to the model and updates itself accordingly, using the Observer pattern. This can be done in GWT development as well.

Rest With Rails Part 2 : Serving XML, JSON and Atom
Every resource has a representation, in fact, a given resource can have more than one representation. Users accessing our task manager will want to see an HTML page listing all their tasks, or they may choose to use a feed reader to subscribe to their task list; feed readers expect an Atom or RSS document. If we're writing an application we would want to see the tasks list as an XML document, or JSON object, or perhaps pull it into a calendar application in the form of an iCal list of todo and events. In this section we're going to explore resources by looking at multiple representations, starting with HTML and adding XML, JSON and Atom representations for our tasks list.
