The Videos

DHH gives a quick roundup of some of Rails 3's new features but like Emma Watson's head PhotoShopped onto yet another naked body, it's nothing you haven't seen before.

Doing a Offline Client Using Silverlight 4 and Rails Backend

By Glenn West of Mental Paging Space 14 days ago.

I've prevously did a MultiMedia Silverlight app for a Video.

Now I'm doing a data driven app, more in line with Rails.

The issue with any web app is no internet = no work.

But how to have a nice web client and have a local database?

Espesially that can operate with Rails backend?

I Found a Great Solution for Doing this,in the form of a Database Product

called Siaqodb. I managed create a web app, with a datagrid in silverlight

that can run on the web or as a local app, and have local tables, and did it in a few hours.
