PATRICK GRADY'S CALCULATED DEBUT

How did Patrick Grady manage to build his service when others have failed? How did he draw in big-name customers? In addition to his forceful personality, 10 years in high-tech venture capital gave him extraordinary access. In the early development phase, for example, senior technologists from Ariba, BEA, BellSouth, CommerceOne, Genesys Labs, Palm, and Sun got together once a week to advise him on architecture. That lends some credibility to Grady's claim that his platform will become "the global de facto standard for how you describe and discover and deliver and transact for services." http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BF09FD:353CA35

PRODUCT GUIDE: DENG 1.0

DENG 1.0 is an admirable work in progress that's nevertheless quite usable: It handles the client-side rendering and calculating of an XForms application very well. In spite of the lack of complete XForms support, DENG is an easily installed XForms engine that runs just about anywhere and enables developers to use XForms in their Web applications now. It will also become part of UGO, a larger XML browser framework.
