Google Gears
Sep 1st
Been Playing with google gears recently and been having amazing fun. Bit of a challenge to design off-line apps but very cool potential.
jQuery life saver
Feb 27th
This is up there with the “Why the hell didnt I use this earlyer!”
jQuery, So what is it? A very handly small javascript libary that makes writing javascript so very easy.
I have only been playing with it for the last few days, but so far I am very impressed
so much so that we will be intergrating jQuery into fusionticket to start doing some really cool stuff
What can it do? Very quick ajax calls, css formatting, validation, all your normal javascript stuff but quicker, text transformation, box animation, calander plugins… the list goes on, really the sky is the limit, a bit of JS and server side scripting can create very cool web apps!
But of course you need JS enabled in your browser, What i love about jQuery though is the cross-browser and scalability, beacuse it does all the work when its enabled, if JS is off your website works just as it would normaly but without the JS functionality as JS does all the work after the page has its html.
Truly anyone that wants to use more JS start looking at jQuery and some other lib’s.
