Back to Basics: Interfaces

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:46:09 GMT

When it comes to object-oriented programming there are few concepts as basic and important as interfaces. Only recently though, and at a snails pace, have .NET developers started to take advantage of the simple benefits interfaces have to offer. This interest stems from the core role interfaces play in some pretty hot topics, including: dependency injection, unit testing and mocking (to name a few).

On again with the very basics of JQuery. Thanks again for all of the kicks, dzones, stumbled-upons.

Actions, reactions, interactions, through which we learn, connect and play, through which web becomes an inseperable part of our lives.

JQuery is the star among the growing list of JavaScript libraries. A few of its characteristics are light-weight, cross-browser compatibility and simplicity. A task that would take 10 lines of code with traditional JavaScript can be accomplished with JQuery in just 1 line of code. I write to record the series of very basic lessons I learned about JQuery (my study source is the very readable book JQuery in Action).
