So what is jQuery? From the jQuery web site: “jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.”

Okay, but what does that mean to me? Put simply, jQuery will help you write JavaScript faster using a simpler syntax. Instead of writing extra lines of code or the writing the same code over and over, you can use jQuery to consolidate the code. jQuery will do the heavy lifting while you can concentrate on the more important stuff.

jQuery also supports the idea of plugins. Plugins allow people to create mini-libraries that complement jQuery. The plugins can be anything from form validation to picture slide shows. We will look at plugins in future articles. (continue reading…)

Earlier this week I blogged about IIS Express, and discussed some of the work we are doing to make ASP.NET development easier from a Web Server perspective.

In today’s blog post I’m going to continue the simplicity theme, and discuss some of the work we are also doing to enable developers to quickly get going with database development.  In particular, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve just completed the engineering work that enables Microsoft’s free SQL Server Compact Edition (SQL CE) database to work within ASP.NET applications.  This enables a light-weight, easy to use, database option that now works great for ASP.NET web development.

Introducing SQL Server Compact Edition 4

SQL CE is a free, embedded, database engine that enables easy database storage.  We will be releasing the first public beta of SQL CE Version 4 very shortly. Version 4 has been designed and tested to work within ASP.NET Web applications. (continue reading…)

PHP 5.3 introduced namespaces and anonymous functions to the PHP world, which are surely great innovations for this programming language. For PHP 5.3 to be widely used, however, it needs to be supported by the various operating systems installed on development boxes and servers.

Linux distributions

The Linux environment commonly offers open source software in the form of binary packages available via repositories, being them in the form of .deb or .rpm files. The major distributions compile and bundle every new release of their bundled softwares, and upload the resulting binaries to a public repository which makes upgrading all installed software as simple as typing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.

For some value of the word “turned,” PHP just turned fifteen. Wow.

I still vaguely remember when I turned fifteen—“rebellious,” “obnoxious” and “bad haircut” are all words that come to mind. But those were also very exciting years, full of hopes, possibilities and the knowledge that, in merely a few years’ time, I would have been able to make the roads a little less safe (in Italy, you have to be eighteen to drive, thankfully).

Milestones are not as important in our industry as they are in our lives—the way I see it, if you work in the computer field and turn to look at back at what has been, someone will have passed you by—but there are some very important lessons that can be learned from the story of PHP.
