Justifying the Use of Build Scripts(randomactsofcoding.blogspot.com)

submitted by JamesEggers(1250) 3 years, 6 months ago

In this post, I'm going to discuss some of the components of continuous integration and also discuss how to get data to justify the (manual) use of build scripts to "automate" a scenario initially. The scenario is not ideal (since build servers would enhance automation to a whole new level);however, the tiny victories are sometimes the best ones to start with. read more...

Starting with jQuery - Using jQuery with Web Forms(randomactsofcoding.blogspot.com)

submitted by JamesEggers(1250) 3 years, 6 months ago

In this sixth and final entry on a series of post focused on using jQuery with no prior knowledge, I dive into applying jQuery into the traditional ASP.Net web form environment. The example code covered in this entry focuses on applying the jQuery Validation plug-in against 2 sets of input in the same form. To make the example more realistic, the form fields are contained inside of content page to ensure the code works with ASP.Net's client id renaming feature/annoyance. read more...

Becoming More Than Just a Developer(randomactsofcoding.blogspot.com)

submitted by JamesEggers(1250) 3 years, 7 months ago

A colleague of mine approached me the other day; wondering how he might be able to get out of the trend that he's found himself in. The issue he approached me with was the fact that he's a tenured developer for his company and is often approached by his peers and managers to field questions and to help out when times are tough. He has no issues with such; however, he finds himself drawn to newer technology than what he's working with on a daily basis and also loves helping people with their development questions. In essence, he wants to become more than just the developer he is currently. He wanted to know what he can do to expand his knowledge with new technology and project the information to others. read more...

IE7: Vista vs. XP(randomactsofcoding.blogspot.com)

submitted by JamesEggers(1250) 3 years, 9 months ago

At the end of my post last week when I began a series on learning jQuery, I mentioned that I might have found a bug. This bug involved columns at the bottom of last weeks demo to be rendered differently when I viewed the same code on my Windows XP computer and my Windows Vista computer. At the time of the post, the images that you saw in last weeks post, were taken from my Windows XP computer and they looked fine in the browsers that I test in (IE7, IE8 beta 1, Opera, Firefox, and Safari). When I looked at the code on my Vista box, the columns had a line break after each one even with the CSS property of display:inline-block; and float:left;. read more...
