GridView Plugin For JQuery(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years ago

Starting out we are going to keep this pretty simple and as it progresses we’ll add more features. For now we are going to start with a hand coded HTML table and CSS. In a later post we’ll look at populating the grid from a data source. In this post today we’ll apply the CSS to the table but will expand this to a skinning system later on. We’ll also be applying the row selection feature today. read more...

C# Design Patterns - The Visitor Pattern(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 1 month ago

One principle that I really like is the Open/Closed principle which says that an object should be open to new functionality but closed to structural changes. The visitor pattern helps facilitate this principle by giving us the means to perform operations against an object without changing the objects structure. Looking back at a previous pattern we wanted to adjust the registration cost for a dog if they had been picked up by the dog catcher. read more...

6 Tools To Be An Effective Web Developer(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 2 months ago

There has always been and probably always will be feuds over what is the best platform but what I want to show you is that those arguments are mostly irrelevant. Regardless of what platform you choose to develop on there are most of the same tools available in one form or another. The common components, for me anyway, that help me produce high quality code faster and is easier to maintain are a good IDE, easy to use unit testing and mocking frameworks, an ORM, a MVC framework, and a good JavaScript library. read more...

C# Design Patterns - The Facade Pattern(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 2 months ago

In our city dog registration application lets assume there are a few things that need to be done when a new dog is registered. First the new dog and it’s owners must be entered into the system. Next the registration fee must be processed. Finally, we want the system to send the owners the welcome email. This is a very simple example but this action requires 3 separate systems to do something in order to complete this one task of registering a new dog. read more...

Assume Your Users Are Lying(devlicio.us)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 2 months ago

is funny how often I find this problem, one I like to categorize as: "All users lie." Gregory House is, with some variations, a perfect person to have in your domain modelling or requirements gathering sessions, he seems to have a similar categorization as me: “I don't ask why patients lie, I just assume they all do.” read more...

Why You Want To Be A Craftsman Instead Of A Cowboy(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 2 months ago

I was a bit surprised at first to hear Jeff and Joel’s comments because they are some smart guys that have produced some successful software. I highly doubt, regardless of how it came across, they intended to imply that you should ignore all guidelines and just string together your code. Unfortunately, the comments of their posts make it all too clear that this is exactly the way a lot of programmers took it. What’s worse is bad programmers will use this as a defense for their resistance to improving their skills. read more...

C# Design Patterns - Observer Pattern(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 3 months ago

Continuing to use our city dog registration software senario, one of the project’s requirements is that the dog’s owner’s be notified whenever a dog is processed for an infraction (i.e. picked up by the dog catcher). The Observer pattern is perfectly suited to solve this problem. read more...

Developer Productivity - 5 Ways To Kill It(geekdaily.net)

Unfortunately I am writing some of these from experience, then again, I’m sure we have all experienced some of these at one time or another. read more...

C# Design Patterns - Abstract Factory Pattern(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 4 months ago

We’ll be continuing on with our fictional city council that has commissioned us to develop an application that lets them manage their yearly dog registrations. Since the application is all about managing dogs and their owners it makes sense to have a DogFactory class that will create the different breeds of dogs that will be stored in the application. read more...

JavaScript And The rel Attribute(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 5 months ago

Working in JavaScript is one of my favorite things to do. I love how dynamic the language is and how powerful it can be. This programming dream is often turned into a nightmare by varying browser implementations, blatant disregard for accepted Web Standards (I’m looking at you IE), and a host of other odd things that can pop up. read more...

Bummer. I've been mucking around with some more custom databinding that integrates validation into the databinding process. One of the things the control does is automatically add 'notification' icons or error text to the page. The idea is this: read more...

C# Design Patterns - The Decorator Pattern(geekdaily.net)

Probably the most common of these patterns that I used was the Decorator Pattern. I find that I use this pattern frequently when reworking older code that I have written when I want to guarantee that my new code won’t break any existing functionality. read more...

How To Find The Position Of An Element(geekdaily.net)

submitted by justinbezanson(1555) 3 years, 8 months ago

From time to time I need to know what the position of a particular element is. I could use trial and error until I find the correct position but this is not efficient and it breaks the second I make an adjustment to the elements or any of it’s parent elements. So how can we easily get an elements position? read more...
