Creating Offline Web Applications With Dojo Offline
by Brad Neuberg (SitePen), September 23rd, 2007
This tutorial steps you through creating offline web applications using Dojo Offline.
What is Dojo Offline?
Dojo Offline is an open-source toolkit that makes it easy to create sophisticated, offline web applications. It sits on top of Google Gears, a plugin from Google that helps extend web browsers with new functionality. Dojo Offline makes working with Google Gears easier; extends it with important functionality; creates a higher-level API than Google Gears provides; and exposes developer productivity features. In particular, Dojo Offline provides the following functionality:
An offline widget that you can easily embed in your web page with just a few lines of code, automatically providing the user with network feedback, sync messages, offline instructions, and more
A sync framework to help you store actions done while offline and sync them with a server once back on the network
Automatic network and application-availability detection to determine when your application is on- or off-line so that you can take appropriate action
A slurp() method that automatically scans the page and figures out all the resources that you need offline, including images, stylesheets, scripts, etc.; this is much easier than having to manually maintain which resources should be available offline, especially during development.
Dojo Storage, an easy to use hashtable abstraction for storing offline data for when you don't need the heaviness of Google Gear's SQL abstraction; under the covers Dojo Storage saves its data into Google Gears
Dojo SQL, an easy to use SQL layer that executes SQL statements and returns them as ordinary JavaScript objects
New ENCRYPT() and DECRYPT() SQL keywords that you can mix in when using Dojo SQL, to get transparent cryptography for columns of data. Cryptography is done on a Google Worker Pool thread, so that the browser UI is responsive.
Integration with the rest of Dojo, such as the Dojo Event system
Mobile Web Application Best Practices
by karlcow
Best Practices for the development and delivery of Web applications on mobile devices. The recommendations expand upon statements made in the Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 (BP1), especially those that relate to the exploitation of device capabilities and awareness of the delivery context. Furthermore, since BP1 was written, networks and devices have continued to evolve, with the result that a number of Best Practices that were omitted from BP1 can now be included.
The recommendation is primarily directed at creators, maintainers and operators of Web applications. Readers of this document are expected to be familiar with the creation of Web sites, and to have a general familiarity with the technologies involved, such as Web servers, HTTP, and Web application technologies. Readers are not expected to have a background in mobile technologies or previous experience with BP1.
best of craigslist : WARNING!!! Don't shave that hair!
by xibe
It is a statement that will go down in history with a lot of other regretted statements. "How many Indians could there be?" said by General Custer. "Looks like a good day for a drive!" by JFK. "There! America On-Line now has complete Usenet access!" by some idiot system tech. Such was my anal shaving idea.

It's About the Product, Silly - Jay Pipes

So, my point is that it is not the marketing of a product that counts — indeed, false marketing statements or tactics can backfire quickly. What counts is the product itself. Marketing should be the function of promoting the innovative advantages of a product in the above three categories.
The future is bright: Mozilla revenues up 26 percent, Google deal is gold
by ravi
Mozilla published financial statements earlier this week showing that the organization made $66.8 million in revenue for 2006, a 26 percent increase from 2005. That's some strong growth, and it shows that Mozilla has the potential for long-term fiscal sustainability.
Writing a Good Accessibility Statement
by sebastien
& 1 other
Accessibility statements are an ideal place to empower visitors to your website. Most accessibility statements are too technical, and don't necessarily address the needs of the visitor. Those that do address the needs of visitors often have the information lost in a myriad of other information that is unlikely to be understood by the average visitor to the website. What should and shouldn't be included in an accessibility statement?

Burningbird » We Can't Afford Another Browser War
by karlcow
L'arrogance est la principale source de problèmes dans les groupes de discussion aujourd'hui. C'est vraiment dommage."So I'll expect to see no more of these lies spread by you." No matter how angry you get, or frustrated, or peeved, if you want to work in an open standards group, particularly if you want to lead an open standards effect, you can't write statements like this! Period. End of story. Along with the authority of leadership comes responsibility, and such statements are irresponsible.

Python: Myths about Indentation
by karlcow
Only the indentation level of your statements is significant (i.e. the whitespace at the very left of your statements). Everywhere else, whitespace is not significant and can be used as you like, just like in any other language. You can also insert empty lines that contain nothing (or only arbitrary whitespace) anywhere.

The import and from-import statements are a constant cause of serious confusion for newcomers to Python. Luckily, once you've figured out what they really do, you'll never have problems with them again.

Try Python - a Python statement evaluator
by pvergain
& 2 others
(via)
Just type Python statements into the console window. If you are entering text at the end of the console and hit return, the last line will be evaluated, and the results will be printed. While most statements — print, import and assignment — work, you can't define functions or classes (yet, I hope).
The anchors on this page will open or close bits of documentation on Python or Try Python, helping to guide you through the various things you can do with Python, or about the page.

Google Code - Updates: Google releases patches that enhance the manageability and reliability of MySQL
by mbertier

The high availability features include support for semi-synchronous replication, mirroring the binlog from a master to a slave, quickly promoting a slave to a master during failover, and keeping InnoDB and replication state on a slave consistent during crash recovery.
The manageability features include new SQL statements for monitoring resource usage by table and account. This includes the ability to count the number of rows fetched or changed per account or per table. It also includes the number of seconds of database time an account uses to execute SQL commands.
