submitted by johnrummell(1321) 2 months, 17 days ago

Today will be remembered as the day that NuGet.org went down and broke quite some builds. While many people would love to see the NuGet team wearing a pink sombrero, there is something to say about wearing it yourself if you did not manage to work around this. Let me explain… read more...

How to append options to CascadingDropDown after initially populated v(jamesewelch.com)

submitted by jamesewelch(2275) 1 year, 1 month ago

I needed to add additional dropdown options to a DropDownList web control in use by the Ajax Control Toolkit CascadingDropDown ASP.NET AJAX extender. The CascadingDropDown provided a means to get an automatic population of a set of options called by the web service. needed a way to append an “All” option to the drop down list, but I didn’t want to automatically include “All” as valid option in my Web Service. I wanted to append it on a specific form rather than as part of the data feed. read more...

Dean Hume - Analytics - Bounce Rate(deanhume.com)

submitted by deanomachino(764) 1 year, 7 months ago

If you are a fellow blogger or Webmaster then read on, because this might interest you somewhat. When I first started out blogging, I added Google Analytics to my site to track visitors and stats. It's a great free tool and generally a really accurate service, and I'm certain that millions of people use this service. However, one of the things that I found was that my bounce rate was unusually high. It was and still is sitting at around 80%. read more...

6,953 reasons why I still let Google host jQuery for me(encosia.com)

submitted by pyccki(357) 1 year, 8 months ago

It’s been nearly two years since I wrote about using Google’s CDN to host jQuery on your public-facing sites. In that post, I recommended it due to three primary benefits that public CDNs offer: decreased latency, increased parallelism, and improved caching. Though the post has been overwhelmingly well-received, concerns have been raised as to whether or not the likelihood of better caching is truly very significant. Since the efficacy of that benefit depends entirely on how many other sites are using the same CDN, it takes quite a bit of research to make an objective case either way. I’ve never been happy about responding with vague answers. Caching probability is a valid concern and deserves to be taken seriously. So, I decided to cobble together an HTTP crawler, analyze 200,000 of the most popular sites on the Internet, and determine how many of those are referencing jQuery on Google’s public CDN. read more...
