Popular JavaScript Framework Libraries: An Overview - Part 3

Unless you're working on your MySpace or Facebook page, you're almost certainly going to want to use a JavaScript Framework. They handle much of the browser hacks and general ugliness that comes with Web development and allow you to focus on the task at hand. Moreover, they provide extra functionality with controls and effects that can really add pizzazz to your site! In part one of the series, we looked at the Prototype, script.aculo.us and MooTools Frameworks. Last week, we turned our attention to three strong contenders for the title of Framework supremacy: JQuery, the Yahoo! UI Library (YUI) and MochiKit. This week we continue our overview of the twelve most popular JavaScript Frameworks with the Dojo, Rialto and Spry Frameworks.

Is JavaScript Ready For Creating Quality Games?

kumpetan writes "After seeing so many games built with JavaScript, and considering the applications it powers and the use of Ajax, it seems like web developers are now in the game development pot. It is getting easier and more popular with libraries like jQuery, MooTools, Prototype, etc. There are even libraries like Game JS, GameQuery or JavaScript GameLib, specifically for this purpose. So, will we start to see more ambitious game projects arise using these tools?"

Using Google`s Ajax Libraries API

In search of the real 'Billy the Kid'

Billy the Kid still rides through the Old West of the American imagination: part reality, part myth; part outlaw and part instrument of justice; part hero and part homicidal maniac. John Vernon's fictionalized account of Billy the Kid's life starts with the only known photograph of the man, probably taken around 1880, when Henry McCarty (his birth name) would have been around 20, and a year before he was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett. Vernon describes the man in the picture as "draggle-tailed." With his buck teeth and heavy-lidded eyes he looks, to me, undernourished, detached and slightly deranged, as if only dimly aware of where he is and what he's doing.

Left 4 Dead Demo Includes Linux Steam Client Libraries

SheeEttin writes "If you've been longing to play games from Steam on your Linux machine, you may not have to wait much longer — the Left 4 Dead demo includes some Linux libraries, in particular, one named 'steamclient_linux.so.' While the game's full release does not include these libraries, their apparently accidental inclusion in the demo suggests that Steam games will have native Linux clients in the near future. (A job listing at Valve looking for someone whose responsibilities would include 'Port[ing] Windows-based games to the Linux platform' would seem to support this.) The libraries also include several strings nonessential to a pure server, including references to forgotten passwords. Hopefully, this indicates that at least some Valve-affiliated games will have native Linux clients.

Polishing the Visual Presentation of a Blogger with the Code Igniter PHP Framework

Google and the libraries

In 2004, Google signed a deal with five major research libraries to digitize all the books in their collections. "Google's mission is to organize the world's information, and we're excited to be working with libraries to help make this mission a reality" proclaimed company cofounder Larry Page. It looked like an encouraging first step toward a world in which all knowledge was online, all the time.

Is Finding Part Time Work In IT Unrealistic?

I like my current job writes "Having worked full-time in IT for the past 12 years, I would really like to work less and focus on other goals and priorities in my life. I asked my current employer and was shot down. It seems like everyone I know in IT works full-time except for entry-level help desk staff. Striking out on my own seems to be the only way to control the ball and chain around my ankle. However, my experience with independent consulting is a 'feast or famine' situation, with work coming all at once, thus making part-time impossible, or the other extreme (which is even more likely). Is part-time work a pipe dream in IT? Maybe a career in toilet cleaning is calling me."

GlassFish and MySQL, Part 2: Building a CRUD Web Application With Data Persistence

GlassFish and MySQL This is the second article in a series of articles on GlassFish and MySQL. Part 1 of the series describes the advantages of using GlassFish with MySQL and illustrates why the combination is a perfect choice for developing and deploying web applications. In Part 2, you'll learn how to develop a create, read, update, delete (CRUD) web application that uses GlassFish and MySQL. The application uses the Java Persistence API implemented in GlassFish to manage data persistence.

I still hate JavaScript

I know, it's anathema to be a Web developer in this age of Ajax and fancy DHTML pages and hate JavaScript, but I admit it, I do. Luckily as SitePoint points out, Dreamweaver CS4 has a number of features that make writing JavaScript, I won't say fun, but at least less hair-rendingly annoying. I find the Live View most useful, as it can tell me when something isn't going to work before I upload it to the server and rip out another chunk of hair. I consider that a nice present from Adobe.
