About

My name is Bobby Soares and this is my site.
Interests
I'm primarily interested in Computer Science and Technology which takes most of my time. I like implementing new concepts and playing with new things. I have an uncontrollable need to try every techonolgy that is available so that i can make the best design decisions when it matters - alot of the stuff you'll find under Concepts is largely a product of this.I also enjoy playing drums and reading about open problems in Computational Complexity Theory.
Personal Projects
My biggest project so far is LaTexLab.org but i have worked on smaller scale applications such as a couple of vBulletin plugins and numerous POCs.I have recently discovered the AppEngine, Django and MVC in general. This site is a product of this - it's hosted on the Google AppEngine and built with Django running on the App Engine Patch.
If you're uncertain of whether to go with Django+AppEngine-Patch approach for your site needs, i hope this site goes some way towards convincing you (Django is awesome and even moreso when running on the AppEngine).
Work Stuff
At work i'm a Systems Developer and i work in building .NET applications, integrating systems and bringing up our own Service-Oriented-Architecture. I'm a fan of web-based services and the service-oriented model in general. I've setup a variety of XML and JSON Web Services for integrating applications and synchronizing data via tools such as ILM, SSIS and BizTalk across systems such as PeopleSoft, SalesForce and Sharepoint.

Sorry for doing this in a comment, but I couldn't find any contact page. I was wondering if it was at possible to get the source for http://www.bloo.us/pages/flash-audio-mixer/ . I'd like to use it in a personal, non-commercial, pet project. If needed i'd be willing to pay for it, if its not too pricey. But either way, great job on it
Is Latexlab dead? How is the inverse search implemented?
Rob, LaTexLab is not dead but it's on hold. Basically i decided to break it down into a few projects which are being worked on.
These projects are, in order:
1. http://code.google.com/p/gwt-gdata/
2. http://code.google.com/p/gdbe/
3. http://code.google.com/p/common-latex-service-interface/
The GWT-GData project will be in Beta starting next month. At which point GDBE will pick up and then we'll see an actual interface.
Hi Bobby, thanks for the reply. I think this project is something the world needs very much. Actually, I had given the problem of developing a web-based LaTex editor quite some thought myself. Where I got stuck though was at coming up with a way of implementing the inverse search/forward search. <br />Do you intend to implement an inverse search/forward search somehow?
Hello Bobby, <br /> <br />I am trying to develop online equation editor using Latex. For that I found good article on codeproject which let me use MimeTex.dll to achieve the desired results but I am looking for some real time editor which should preview as I type. Currently there are some available in PHP. I am developing it in .NET. Is this project going in same direction ? <br /> <br />This would be very helpful to people like me.
