Daydreaming about jQuery Mobile and the WebAPI(jclaes.blogspot.com)

submitted by JefClaes(650) 6 months, 8 days ago

I recently blogged about programming for the future of mobile with jQuery Mobile and the WebAPI. You probably heard that jQuery Mobile 1.0 was released earlier this week. Although it will take a while before we will see some actual results from the WebAPI initiative, that shouldn't keep us from letting our minds play with things that might be possible one day using the WebAPI. read more...

The benefits to using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)(www.dotnetblocks.com)

submitted by DotNetBlocks(393) 1 year, 4 months ago

There are several benefits to using cascading style sheets (CSS) in the design of a website, but they have lacked the attention it deserves partially due of a large learning curve needed to fully understand its capabilities. There has been a real emphasis recently on CSS because of the Web 2.0 movement in the industry over the use of table based designs. read more...

Repository and Unit of Work T4 Template for Entity Framework(blogs.microsoft.co.il)

submitted by gilf(2139) 1 year, 10 months ago

Two weeks ago I wrote the Revisiting the Repository and Unit of Work Patterns with Entity Framework post. One thing that I thought would be nice was to have an automatic code generation that will help me to build these patterns without sweating. So I sat down and created a T4 Template to auto generate the same patterns. read more...

Amazing Strategy!!(beyondrelational.com)

submitted by DPalkar(228) 2 years ago

I recently downloaded a cool fighter plane game (iFighter lite) on my iPhone. As I started playing, I felt that plane is moving a bit slow!! But soon enough I saw a little perk on the screen and I flew over it and suddenly plane's speed increased. Soon enough, enemy planes started attacking me and I shot back at them. But again I felt my bullets were too slow! I shot down few planes and a new perk showed up on the screen. As soon as I collected it, my plane started shooting more bullets per attack!! Yeeee hoo!!! I started enjoying this and before I knew, I by mistake collected a "skull and bones" perk and "darrnn!!" I said, cause I knew now my plane had lost those powerful bullets :( Now, of course I am not writing a review about the human behavior while playing games on iPhone! But what I am trying to highlight here is the plane's ability to act differently in certain conditions! And that's something the Strategy Design Pattern allows us to do. I’ll try to use this game as an analogy to discuss about Strategy Design Pattern. Definition: Define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it. read more...

AJAX publish/subscribe with ASP.NET MVC and jQuery(atanashristov.blogspot.com)

submitted by atanashristov(85) 2 years, 6 months ago

Calling long running web server process and locking the user for a while in web applications with the typical for the HTTP request/replay way can be critical for the user expirience. Even more, possibly we don't get back the data due to problems with the network connection or browser timeouts. Even if on top of unreliable protocol like HTTP we can provide some abstraction level to ensure we'll get the result from the web server. We could simulate the publish/subscribe pattern in ajax. Furthermore our communication with the web server is asynchronous and allows our application to respond better to the user interactions. read more...
