Silverlight Controls for developers

I personally didn’t have the time or the need to use Silverlight in a project yet although it is very tempting to try.

For those of you who are already in the business with Silverlight Tim Heuer collected a list of controls useable for Silverlight. The list seems to be very long but he added some comments to help you find your way through it. The user comments below contain additional tips, too.

So, if you ever are afraid of losing control in your Silverlight app – Tim is the man to visit

JBoss releases RESTEasy

JBoss released a project named “RESTEasy” which provides help to build RESTful web services and RESTful Java applications.

It is useable in any servlet container but – as you might already expected – it is built to work tighter with JBoss Application Server.

The features list provided on the front page shows very interesting details about the project. It supports various techniques and connection types. It looks worth checking out for the next java based project.

Do you have any experience with RESTEasy? What’s your favorite for implementing web services? Any comments on the featured project?

Maybe it’ll help you through the hard time figuring out the basics or solving specific issues.
