JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 6

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:46:04 GMT

For every programming language, there is invariably string manipulation and array fiddling. No exception with JQuery. Being unobtrusive in principal and complimentary in nature, it does not try to replace the existing bulk of JavaScript functions with its own, rather, it simply adds some of the most sorely missed functions.

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 5

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:16:02 GMT

On with our journey of learning JQuery. Thanks to all of you who has stayed and cheered and made me go on, against my own lazy nature. So far, we have slowly walked through the bunch of commands by which we select, dress up, manipulate chains of elements and make them action bound. Now, let's look at the tiny set of commands for special-effects: show / hide with a speed, slide up / slide down, fade in and out. After all, we are human, insatiable for animations and wow factors.

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 4

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 10:01:02 GMT

On again with the very basics of JQuery. Thanks again for all of the kicks, dzones, stumbled-upons. I am wearing a permanent thank-you smile now. :) Now that we have done with the selection and manipulation of JQuery elements, time for some actions (event handling). Actions, reactions, interactions, through which we learn, connect and play, through which web becomes an inseperable part of our lives.

Inheritance and Associations with Entity Framework Part 3

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 03:57:11 GMT

On part 1 and part 2 I explored how to apply 2 different inheritance models (TPH & TPT) in Entity Framework. In this part I'm going to demonstrate associations between 2 base entities. And how to filter end properties to return specific type (sub entity).

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 3

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 04:46:11 GMT

Snail on with my learning and writing about the very very basic lessons on JQuery. In "modern" (DOM) web programming, web pages are made up of a hierarchy of elements. Manipulation of elements goes far beyond styling and positioning, it involves almost everything, adding / deleting content, appending and removing children elements, attaching itself to a new parent, cloning ... Everything is possible. The question is : How?

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 2

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:01:12 GMT

So it is nice to be able to use a combination of JQuery selectors to grab an array of elements, however, it would be better if we know how to inspect them one by one and operate on them.

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 1

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:46:02 GMT

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).

Bill Gates the comic man

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 00:47:31 GMT

I thought Bill Gates was out saving the world, now that he has officially taken the full-time job as the chairman of Melinda and Gates Foundation and that he is now in full swing promoting creative capitalism, something about advancing common social good while also making profits.

Chrome the new browser

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:55:36 GMT

Rome was not built in one day. Even as FireFox has slowly won over users (especially among developers) at the expense of IE, it still has no more than 30% of the market share. Chrome likely has a long way to go.

Go with the flow

Go with the flow. People say. However, it is not easy to go with the flow, especially the flow branchs out into five-tooth-fork.

Who is afraid of ADC? - Introduction to AJAX Data Controls - Part III

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 04:21:57 GMT

ADC controls actually does not need much introduction. Repeaters, Gridviews, DataLists, we knew them since the onset of ASP .net. And the ADC development team has deliberately made it easy for the transition from server side data-bound controls to client-side AJAX script controls. However, little known about ADCs is that they are also equipped with a set of behaviors to make the control cool and cooler.

Reinvent the wheel

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 23:44:09 GMT

ASP .net ajax extenders carry the promise of a plug-and-play. You plug your usb drive, there you get an extra drive. Take the example of cascadingdropdown extenders, it works for straightforward, immediate parent-child depency scenarios, however, it does not work in scenarios where a child's values need to be drived not only from parent, but also grandparent. Thus, we need to reinvent the wheel and rewrite the cascading controls
