  • UPDATE: Parsing CSV Data Files In ColdFusion With csvToArray()

    Updated: 2010-10-22 23:37:00
    A couple of years ago, with the help of Steven Levithan , I wrote a user defined function (UDF) that could parse Comma-Separated-Value (CSV) data in ColdFusion . This UDF worked great, unless the very first field in your CSV data set was blank. In that case, it would be skipped over. Now, years later, I am finally g ... ead More raquo;

  • Breaking Out Of jQuery's Each() Iteration Method

    Updated: 2010-10-18 15:31:00
    In the past, I've talked about the beauty and the power of jQuery's each() method for collection iteration . But, as awesome as it is, I still find myself falling back to for-loop iteration in cases where I might need to break out of a loop, mid-collection. Today, however, at the jQuery Conference 2010, Karl Swedberg totally rocked m ... ead More raquo;

  • Using Composed Javascript UI Controllers With DOM Augmentation

    Updated: 2010-10-18 15:00:00
    Over the past couple of days, I've been iterating through examples of using composed Javascript UI controllers in order to help manage user interface interactions. Now, in addition to simply altering the state of existing UI elements, I wanted to look into augmenting the DOM tree; that is, I wanted to explore the ability to both add and remove DOM nodes to and from the UI ... ead More raquo;

I was recently approached by their PR agency with a press release detailing how they are launching a pilot program , called getJar+ . It looks like they are switching to an AD based revenue stream rather than a pay per app system . I'll give them a try , but I'm holding back on judgement until I've seen what they host , and how easily they interface with my mobile platform . The full press

  • Using Composed UI Controllers In The Context Of Javascript Inheritance

    Updated: 2010-10-13 16:31:00
    Yesterday, I blogged about using composed Javascript UI controllers to help manage the state and event handling of a single UI component. I liked where that was going; however, at the same time, I couldn't figure out how to work inheritance into the model. Since the root class constructor was responsible for initializing its composed elements, I couldn't figure out how to ... ead More raquo;

  • Experimenting With Composed Javascript UI Controllers

    Updated: 2010-10-12 17:00:00
    In the past, when I've wanted to create complex UI interactions with a collection of elements, I would have created a single Javascript controller that handled the interaction logic for all of the elements . As my user interfaces have gotten more robust, however, this single point of processing has become somewhat unwieldy to program and maintain. As such, I wanted to start experim ... ead More raquo;

    Yesterday, jQuery announced the official adoption of the Microsoft-proposed templating library into their core set of supported and endorsed plugins. I've looked at the proposed template plugin in the past; however, now that it is officially endorsed by jQuery, I figured it was time to dig a little deeper and see what I can learn from it.
