Dr. Dobb's Software Tools NewsletterDella Song
Do you find keeping up with new developer products and version updates harder than keeping up with the Joneses (whoever they are)? If so, Dr. Dobb's Software Tools e-mail newsletter is just the deal for you. Delivered once a month to your mailbox, this unique newsletter keeps you posted on the latest in SDKs, libraries, components, compilers, and the like.
RDM XML, from Birdstep Technology, is a native
XML database that supports both Java and C++. The company also released

ShaoLin Microsystems has released ShaoLin CogoFS, a high-performance
stackable compression filesystem for Linux that reduces network traffic,
file server load, and disk space usage. ShaoLin CogoFS presents compressed
files in the existing file systems as normal files-corruption risk is
minimal because compression is done on individual files. It does not manage
disk blocks, it works transparently on top of all common file systems
and network-based file systems. ShaoLin CogoFS works over the network,
transferring compressed files to decompress at the clients kernel. It
uses ShaoLin's Kypertec compression engine, which works in the kernel
space with memory management and CPU utilization.

Linkuistics Web Services Detective 1.0 is a tool for monitoring network
communications for development or diagnostic purposes. LWSD lets you "listen"
to and record the transactions on any nominated port and send the traffic
to any other nominated port, while simultaneously viewing http headers
and data for every request and response in real time. Traffic on multiple
ports and sockets can be simultaneously displayed and recorded, and application
performance and traffic problems can be monitored and debugged. LWSD can
also be used to simulated bandwidth restrictions and communications failure
and test how applications will perform in the real world. LWSD 1.0 is
available for Windows NT/98/2000/XP. Corda Technologies has announced the addition of a .NET embedder and a .NET component to its PopChart product line. Using PopChart's .NET embedder, you can create and send dynamic charts to the web with few lines of code.
