In SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010, there is an interesting feature called Client Object Model (Client OM) which is a unified model that uses the same or similar programming concepts as the Server Object Model (Server OM). The Client Object Model can be accessed via web services, via a client (JavaScript) API, and via REST.Why Client Object Model?You must be thinking now why should I have Client Object Model when millions of sites are running smoothly without the Client Object Model. So here is the answer to your question Client object Model is the result of SharePoint customers request to Microsoft to introduce more and more web services to get data out of SharePoint Server. But introducing web services will not fix the issues, as Microsoft found, because then the request for more functionality in the web services will continue. Even if Microsoft provides a good number of web services with SharePoint, customization in web services will be required for different clients, and this will make the out-of-the-box web services unusable.

Next to teddy bears, plush hippos are perhaps the most cuddly and huggable stuffed animals in the plush animal world. With their oversized bodies you can't help but just want to snuggle with them as much as possible. There is no denying that every plush animal toy has its own distinct place when it comes to the large and varied world of stuffed animals but there is just something quite irresistible about a plush hippo that can't always be explained.The Greeks named hippos river horses because of their love of water. Up to 16 hours of their day is spent submerged in lakes and rivers so as to keep their bodies cool while living under the heat of the African sun. Given all the time they spend in the water, it is no surprise that hippos are terrific swimmers and can even hold their breath under water for up to five minutes. Despite their enormous size (they can weigh as much as 8,000 pounds), they are also very graceful in the water. Due to their bulk, they actually are able to stand and/or walk on the lake floor more than they have to swim in it. With their eyes and nose positioned high up on their head they are able to both see and breathe while submerged. Hippos are also known to...more
