New Ajax Resource

Hi all,

Creating a menu system is a basic chore in many apps; web pages included. Here's a video on how to do one with Ajax: Creating an Ajax-driven Drop-down Menu System.

Hi all,

Debugging is a fact of developer life. You can't avoid it entirely and it's usually never fun. It is a critical skill to have and it pays off handsomely to have the necessary knowledge as well as tools to do the job. Not every problem is a nail, so if a hammer is all you have, then you'll be hurting pretty badly on those non-nail ones ;-)

Believe it or not, YouTube came through again! I found a really sweet video called Introduction to Debugging AJAX Application with Firebug. For those of you not familiar with Firebug, it's a FireFox add-on that allows you to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page. Sounds like a must-have to me!

Hi all,

So YouTube did it again! Here's another link to a pretty cool video: Create an Ajax Chat Client in 8 minutes and 15 seconds.

Not sure you'll ever want to create a chat client, but I always find some useful piece of knowledge from every app I see, whether it's new ideas on architecture, patterns, GUI design, etc.

Hi all,

YouTube never ceases to amaze me (in both good and bad ways). On occasion, I will find something useful that actually contributes to elevating one's intellect. Here's one such video: Enabling Dragging Using Ajax.
