Parents and Children

Old parents are happy to see the son that he is smart and the child is counting-on for parents death.

(Sheikh Saadi)

Why so successful

They aren't the best, Its just that they have got some better tools.

Capability

Better resources make you highlighted but they do not prove your capability.

Downtime; Fate; Success;

I don't know when I'll be down because its about my fate. But the fear of being defeated, elimination of un-necessary things and working in a peaceful place is the sign of being successful and good-luck for sure.

Hidden Power

A man with trustworthy relations is powerful and a man with disloyal relations will be down to knees. This applies in social and professional life very well and then on every part of life.

The task is getting complicated...

It is difficult because you did not learn it properly.

Jquery Live Method And Event Bubbling

Take a look at the following code

[script type="text/javascript"]

                //parent clicked, return false

                $('.level1').live('click', function () {

                                return false;

                });

                //child clicked, alert

                $('.level2').live('click', function () {

                                alert('level2 clicked');

                });

[/script]

[div class="level1"]

[div class="level2"]Clicking on my will not alert[/div]

[/div]

In Jquery Live-events-binding, the event from level2(child) element will be passed on to level1(parent), then to parent's parent and finally to the root of the DOM(document object). If on any level the event it being canceled/interrupted by a parent then the child element's event will not be triggered. For example in the given code when we will click on the level2 element, the alert box will not show because the level1 div is blocking it by returning a false. This is the way things work in Jquery Live-events-binding. So be careful while using Live Events which can behave unexpected due to a little logical mistake.

Getting Current Index In Foreach Loop

foreach (var obj in this.Sizes.Select((sz, i) => new {Size =sz, Index = i }))

{

ViewSize sizeObject = obj.Size;

int currentIndex = obj.Index;

Response.Write("index=" + currentIndex + ": class=" + sizeObject.ClassName);

}

Best Open Source Javascript Editor

I found Komodo Editor by a youtube video reference and it was a GREAT edition to my Javascript Editors :P Too many editors. Unlike Visual Web Developer you can

•  Fold the code, not only function blocks but also every curly brace block which is extremely cool
• Click beside the starting bracket it will select the ending one, bravo.
• The Dark theme is cool, I have started liking working with black background.
• You can open not only files but also projects.
• You associate file extensions with appropriate programming language. By default aspx is not associated, I bound with HTML view. I could have used XML too. The code folding works on that file too. Even that is server side code. For that go to Edit > Preferences > File Associations.
• You can customize the colorization experience by Edit > Preferences > Fonts and colors. 
• On the top toolbox you can "Show/Hide left pane" etc so you can view project browser on demand.
• The vertical lines to show matching braces is a cool feature.
• Guess what ! GO TO DEFINITION in javascript? ;) 
• Code intellisense is also there. Liked it. It remembers variable names, function names and shows common objects such as window and document and their functions like alert() and parseInt() etc. 

I din't expect this much of features from a non-MS editor specially this level of javascript support which is leaving Microsoft Visual Web Developer behind many years.

Firebug - Check DOM Event Bindings

Go to Firebug Console edito and run this command

$('#mybutton').events('data')

See in the console logger  It will show the events bound with the mybutton element just like

object {click=}

You can further click on that link to see the Handler Node, Note that hovering the mouse over the word function(written next to Handler) will show a tooltip telling file name and line number. Click the word function to go to the line of code in script tab.

IE is still the most famous browser even it holds www back

I hate IE because of the fact that Microsoft is holding a lots of web development back. It has bad HTML5 support and it doesn't support 25% of CSS3 features. I, amazingly, see that IE is still holding 60% of the market. According to a report; In last 3 months Google Chrome has taken its rise from 5.x% to 9.x% which is a huge jump. IE has loosed 4% which seems to go to Google Chrome. Firefox loosed 2% and other browsers seem to be on their old positions.Below is a screenshot from another report

WCF, Little Intro

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a framework for building service-oriented applications. Using WCF, you can send data as asynchronous messages from one service endpoint to another. A service endpoint can be part of a continuously available service hosted by IIS, or it can be a service hosted in an application. An endpoint can be a client of a service that requests data from a service endpoint. The messages can be as simple as a single character or word sent as XML, or as complex as a stream of binary data.

1. With WCF we can send calls through HTTP, TCP, MSMQ, Named Pipes, Peer2Peer etc
2. We can use IIS, windows service(as network service), a terminal, a windows form application to HOST the business logic of the remote software. It means if we do not like IIS, nothing to worry. We can host the same business logic without IIS.
3. It can send data in either XML(SOAP) or Binary form(through TCP) which is faster and reliable and secure too.
4. It has built in authentication and authorization system which means that our roles Admin, reseller and Domain user will be recognized by control server software.
5. It can be used as legacy SOAP client for backward compatibility so that it can be used by third parties apps like Java, asp.net , flash and .NET framework Web Service Clients itself.
6. Its clients (Control Server) can CHANGE the HOST anytime, so that Server A, B and C has the same business logic but on demand we can change the HOST and communicate dynamically. (That was my major concern with old SOAP code and I ran for a solution)
7. A lots easier to use than other SOAP application styles, Microsoft has done a LOT in this field already.
8. Supports Synchronous and Asynchronous calls, i.e Call and wait or Call and forget and keep working on other tasks.

I downloaded a DVD from AppDev ( http://www.appdev.com/prodfamily.asp?catalog_name=AppDevCatalog&category_name=WCCProduct&cookie_test=1 ) and studied a book by orielly ( http://www.amazon.com/Programming-WCF-Services-Juval-Lowy/dp/0596521308/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276883505&sr=1-1 ) which is the best rated book on the Amazon on the Topic of Windows communication foundation.
