Techniques are described herein that are capable of extending user interface functionality across processes using declarative definition, data binding, and data synchronization. A declarative definition is received at a target process in which a computer program runs from a source process in which an executable file runs. A user control in the target process is generated based at least on the declarative definition. A view model identifier that identifies a view model, which is data bound to the declarative definition, is received at the target process from the source process. A view model proxy is generated in the target process based at least on the view model identifier. The user control in the target process is data bound with the view model proxy in the target process. User interface functionality of the computer program is extended to the executable file by synchronizing the view model proxy with the view model.

Extending user interface functionality across processes using declarative definition, data binding, and data synchronization

A method or software program that provides an analysis of a build, which can provide a developer with views of the build processes, is disclosed. Data is collected from the build. The collected data can include information regarding file access patterns from determining which files are accessed for read and which files are accessed for write by one or more software build tools and project interdependencies. The collected data can also include certain project properties, build configurations, intermediate directories such as logs, and other metadata of the build. The collected data is injected into a relational database that can be queried. The information developed in a database query can be applied to optimize the build.

Software build optimization

Techniques for hierarchy visualization for organizations are described. An apparatus may comprise an information retrieval component and a profile construction component. The information retrieval component may be generally operative to retrieve information regarding a plurality of individuals from a plurality of data repositories. The profile construction component may be generally operative to create a plurality of profiles from the retrieved information, wherein each profile combines information regarding an individual from the plurality of data repositories. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The collected data can also include certain project properties, build configurations, intermediate directories such as logs, and other metadata of the build. The collected data is injected into a relational database that can be queried. Reports can be generated from the information stored in the database by tools that depict built projects and interdependencies. For example, the tools can be used to generate visualizations such as graphs.
