JavaScript Benchmarks

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001023.html







The tests evaluate the performance of a browser’s implementation of JS language only and claims to be a real world, balanced and statistically sound testing suite.

Jeff put IE 7, Firefox 2, Opera 9.5 & Safari 3.0.4 through the benchmark to determine who had the best performance.

I don't trust this source well as IE sucks and we all know that. They should have considered Firefox 3

Remember The Milk for Gmail

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/gmail/#install

Remember The Milk for Gmail is a Firefox extension that allows you to manage your tasks in Gmail (complete, postpone, and edit tasks), add new tasks (and connect them with your emails, contacts, and Google Calendar events), automatically add tasks for starred messages or specific labels, and much more!




Didn't really turned out well when I tried. Also it doesn't work with Google Apps.

2007 Ajax Tools Usage Survey Results



Source: Ajaxian

"Prototype and Script.aculo.us are the only toolkits to maintain a lead over the past three years. However, over all there are no clear winners or losers as even the strongest incumbents (i.e., Prototype and Script.aculo.us) are starting too loose ground. Some frameworks initially popular have faded nearly completely out of the market (i.e., xajax and Rico ) while others have have sprung out of nowhere to become leading tookits (i.e., jQuery and Ext JS). The changes over the past three years are easy to see in the stack chart at the end of this blog, which shows the market share of the most popular toolkits - notice how they grow and shrink in market share. That means that the market remains immature."

I will suggest that everyone must install and test it once.

This tool can help us doing lots of things:

  1. Creating test cases for our web application. We can save the unit tests like filling forms,checking some links etc. Everytime before making a release we can execute this script to perform all unit tests for us.
  2. Saving website actions for future use
  3. Saving tutorials exercise in Web browser

Really Simple History (RSH): Ajax history and bookmarking library

"Really Simple History is a lightweight JavaScript library for the management of bookmarking and browser history in Ajax/DHTML applications. RSH serializes application data in an internal JavaScript cache so that bookmarks and the back button can be used to return your application to an earlier state."

It reads like the best solution for Ajax browser history management. We had a lot of problem while implementing history management in last project.

sessions are expiring very quickly in under 2 minutes. What can we do to prevent this?


Solution This is a specific issue on Windows 2003/IIS6 servers. What happens is that any shared host creates application pools within IIS6 to host certain x number of websites. Each server may have several application pools and all websites on the server are divided among these pools. When a customer's website calls session.terminate within any application pool, all session variables are lost within that pool.

The only real solution to this issue (which is highly recommended by many developers and Microsoft themselves) is to use database session management. Here you can store all session related data in a local database.

mySql date convertion

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_column, '%m %d %Y') FROM tablename



where:

%m = Month, numeric, leading zeroes
%d = Day of month, numeric, leading zeroes
%Y = Year, numeric, 4-digits


complete table is

DATE_FORMAT(date,format)

Formats the date value according to the format string.

The following specifiers may be used in the format string. The “%” character is required before format specifier characters.

Specifier Description
%a Abbreviated weekday name (Sun..Sat)
%b Abbreviated month name (Jan..Dec)
%c Month, numeric (0..12)
%D Day of the month with English suffix (0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, …)
%d Day of the month, numeric (00..31)
%e Day of the month, numeric (0..31)
%f Microseconds (000000..999999)
%H Hour (00..23)
%h Hour (01..12)
%I Hour (01..12)
%i Minutes, numeric (00..59)
%j Day of year (001..366)
%k Hour (0..23)
%l Hour (1..12)
%M Month name (January..December)
%m Month, numeric (00..12)
%p AM or PM
%r Time, 12-hour (hh:mm:ss followed by AM or PM)
%S Seconds (00..59)
%s Seconds (00..59)
%T Time, 24-hour (hh:mm:ss)
%U Week (00..53), where Sunday is the first day of the week
%u Week (00..53), where Monday is the first day of the week
%V Week (01..53), where Sunday is the first day of the week; used with %X
%v Week (01..53), where Monday is the first day of the week; used with %x
%W Weekday name (Sunday..Saturday)
%w Day of the week (0=Sunday..6=Saturday)
%X Year for the week where Sunday is the first day of the week, numeric, four digits; used with %V
%x Year for the week, where Monday is the first day of the week, numeric, four digits; used with %v
%Y Year, numeric, four digits
%y Year, numeric (two digits)
%% A literal “%” character
%x x, for any “x” not listed above

Ranges for the month and day specifiers begin with zero due to the fact that MySQL allows the storing of incomplete dates such as '2004-00-00'.

How we can access Content Place Holder from Intersoft Webpane Manager

  • I created Master page in asp.net and define content place holder in Intersoft WebpaneManager.
  • I also created default.aspx page and implement master page. In default.aspx, I defined label Control in asp:content control.
  • In page load of default.aspx, I tried to assign any text to label control then it show run time Exception "object reference is not set".
  • I searched and find that intersoft webpane Manager limited the scope of content place holder because content placeholder can be accessed easily if It is defined outside of WebpaneManager.
So how we can access the content place holder in Webpane Manager

Round Shaded Borders

On 31st Oct., I have a task to make round shaded borders on Add new task and edit task dialog box. It's an easy task but i can't understand that how it is implemented. 4-5 hours i spend in searching and experimenting how it is possible but i don't get any solution then Akash sir helped me and hardeep sir also give suggestion that how it is implemented. At 9 pm we get the solution how it is made. Then next day on 1st Nov. I started implementing as we get the solution to make table containing that dialog box. For making round shaded borders i used Highslide images. It is available in internet. After making tables and implementing images at proper cell then also i have faced a problem that 3 sides are coming with absolutely fine borders but bottom side border is not displaying. then hardeep sir helped me out that we have put some spaces in table cell. After that problem is solved. My Add New Task Dialog Box is ready with Round Shaded Borders. Then I go for Edit task dialog box. Then also it is not easy task for me to make as soon as possible , it was also time consuming because there also i don't get 2 side borders then i m started experimenting and after long time i get success with my efforts. Finally I have completed that task.
Thanks both of you Akash Sir and Hardeep Sir for your kind support.

apache password protecting directory

What do you need

1. File having password

you can create password file manually with constants like

username1:encryptedpassword1
username2:encryptedpassword2
username3:encryptedpassword3

The password encryption is the same as you'll find in PHP's crypt() function.

or you can use sites like
http://home.flash.net/cgi-bin/pw.pl
or
http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/

Eighter you can go with command
htpasswd -c passwordFile user_name

(where user_name is a name of user you want to create and
passwordFile is file name taha will generate)

The system will ask you to enter the password for this user. It will then ask you a second time to confirm your typing.
Continue to add new users, but with this version of the command. The -c option is only for the initial creation of the file.

htpasswd passwordFile new_name

YOU HAVE COMPLETE 1st Requirement

NOW you have two ways to apply that passwords

using .htaccess file OR using httpd.conf file

using .htaccess

Create a file called .htaccess (lower case letters of course- with the leading period) that looks just like this in the folder you want to protect:
AuthUserFile passwordFilePath
AuthName "The Secret Page"
AuthType Basic


require valid-user



using httpd.conf

edit it with contents


AuthType Basic
AuthName "admin"
AuthUserFile "passwordFilePath "
require valid-user


now simply restart the apache service

service httpd stop
service httpd start

He is the chairman, managing director and the largest shareholder of Reliance Industries, India's largest private sector enterprise and a Fortune 500 company.

Software release life cycle

"The software release life cycle is composed of different stages that describe the stability of a piece of software and the amount of development it requires before final release. Each major version of a product usually goes through a stage when new features are added, or the alpha stage; a stage when it is being actively debugged, or the beta stage; and finally a stage when all important bugs have been removed, or the stable stage. Intermediate stages may also be recognized. The stages may be formally announced and regulated by the project's developers, but sometimes the terms are used informally to describe the state of a product."

Hardeep, this is one of the box type I was saying. One of your favorite.

"From CompuLab, the Fit-PC is a tiny, no frills Linux PC that uses a mere 5W of power to operate. That's one-fifth what some computers burn in standby. And the specs may be better than you'd expect. An AMD Geode processor runs at 500 MHz, supported by 256MB DDR memory (non-expandable), 40GB 2.5" hard drive and SXGA graphics controller. And none of that needs fans to cool. The inclusion of 2 USB ports mean that the Fit-PC will actually work with normal peripherals...though we're not certain how much power those ports will supply your devices.

At 5" long and only 1.5" thick, the Fit-PC will fit anywhere. And at $285, we think we're in eco-love."

Apple Launch iphone in UK last tuesday

http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/18/live-from-apples-mum-is-no-longer-the-word-event-in-london/








http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/18/live-from-apples-mum-is-no-longer-the-word-event-in-london/

iPhone in UK.... O2 is the telecom provider..... £269 ~ $535 per Jobs.... for the 8GB phone (no 3G, no 16GB, etc...) ...available Nov 9th

other European countries / carriers forthcoming....

Q: why no 3G chipsets?

Steve: "The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours." Yeah yeah, we've heard it before. "Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that's really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year. ... WiFi is way faster than any 3G network. Energy efficient EDGE with better, faster WiFi. That's why we chose it."

Steve says 'later next year'... but other rumors say "early next year"

Bingo ! iPhone Activation work :))

I bought the iPhone activated it with this tool

http://www.pqdvd.com/dvd-to-ipod-movie-video-converter.html#iphoneunlock

What all I did:
1. Unpacked my iPhone :)
2. Started it and it showed me the window saying Please activate iPhone with iTunes. I was only allowed to make emergency call.
3. Then I started the above application ( This application required a specific version of itunes 7.3.0.54 the link is also on their website. I already had this iTunes installed )
4.I started the application it only 1-2 second for it to say, connect your iphone again to unlock.
5. I connected the phone again and **** it didn't worked. I was upset.
6. I tried 3-4 times, no luck. ( I thought i wasted my money and time )
7. I restarted my machine with iphone unconnected.
8. I started the same tool again and it said same thing, please connect your iPhone again to the computer to unlock.
9. I did that.
10. Bingo !!! IT started itunes automatically did some magic and WOW it started working.
11. :)
12. :))
13. Then I used same iTunes, it said new update 1.0.2( guess ) is available please update. I pressed update.
14. It took around 10-12 minutes. ( I was nervous )
15. But finally iphone restarted and now its working fine.

I checked WiFi checked google yet. Nothing more yet. Although you tube is not working but there is a seperate hack to it. I will apply soon.

Google Phone Confirmed By HTC Insider


On the software side, they're going to build a special version of Google Maps (complete with GPS), as well as have Gmail and Calendar compatibility. It's most likely going to have Google Docs compatibility too, but that wasn't specified. What's even cooler is that Google Talk, their free VoIP app, will be part of the suite. The OS could be Windows Mobile 6, or it could be a Linux-based OS, which would be even more interesting

Principle of Software Development

I have list down some principles of software development which I have learned from my previous experience with projects,people and books.

1. Quality is #1: "Just say no" when you are asked to speed up testing, ignore few bugs, or code before agreeing on a set of requirements.
2. Production and quality are inversely related. Higher the quality lower the production and vice versa.
3. Never loose sight with customers/users: It is very important to understand the actual need of the software
4. Prioritize Requirements
5. Use strict penalty for late delivery
6. Build the right feature in prototype
7. Changes during development is inevitable
8. Don't ignore technology
9. Use Documentation standard
10. Poor requirement mean poor cost/time estimation
11. Don't reinvent the wheel
12. Keep it Simple
13. Developers cannot be testers
14. Good management is more important then good technology
15. Don't set unrealistic deadlines
16. Save Everything


Although we are in Web world but I had referred everything as software in above statements
