JavaScript is an online scripting language that is implemented and works directly with HTML pages. Similar to Flash and ActionScript, JavaScript brings a dynamic nature to web pages that does not require the page to change. Obviously, this functionality is very useful for a wide variety of reasons. JavaScript can make a developer’s life a lot easier in a lot of ways. On the other hand, the various down sides of implementing JavaScript are significant—sometimes too much so.
The List Control is a fundamental control for use in Flex. It can be used in many different situations and can display all types of data. Anything from images to plain text and even basic HTML (supported by Flex) can be used. Keep reading for an introduction to this versatile control.
Doing PHP queries to a MySQL database is one of the most important processes in any web application. This is where data is being fetched from or inserted into the database. If you are a beginning PHP web developer, then learning the most important MySQL queries is essential to your success in dealing with dynamic websites.
An amazing breakthrough in artificial intelligence by MilePost GCC allows development to speed up 10x by employing learning techniques to become the first intelligent, open-source compiler.
Welcome to the final part of an eight-part series on building loader applications in PHP. In this part, we'll improve on the loader class we developed in the previous part by using certain specific functions from the Standard PHP Library (SPL).
Welcome to the seventh installment of an eight-part series on building loader applications in PHP. In this part, you will learn how to use the “spl_autoload(),” “spl_register()” and “spl_register()” functions to build a small file loader class. This class will be able to perform recursive searches through the file system to find a targeted resource.
Flex 3.0 offers a strong foundation of user interface (UI) controls by which users can harness a great deal of power to create beautiful UIs without having to toil in the details of low level functionality. Of these controls, the DataGrid sets itself apart by offering characteristics similar to a list or tree control (which are also listBase controls), but going further to offer an easy way of displaying columnar data without a complicated interface. In this article, I focus on creating a basic DataGrid and populating it with XML data by using only MXML tags.
You can find Flash almost everywhere on the web, adding its magic touch to web sites. ActionScript makes it work. If you're thinking of making your web site a little more flashy, keep reading for an overview.
Welcome to the fifth part of an eight-part article series that teaches you how to build loader applications with PHP. In this installment of the series, I explain how to create a small, efficient file loader class, with a difference: no instance of it needs to be spawned to include a targeted file, thanks to the implementation of a static recursive loading method.
Welcome to the sixth part of an eight-part series that shows you how to build file loader applications in PHP. In this part I will discuss how to build a helpful file loading application by taking advantage of the nifty “__autoload()” magic function.
Welcome to the sixth part of a seven-part series that shows you how to use the magic functions that come with PHP 5. In this article, I cover the “__destruct()” method, also known as a destructor. They can be really useful for performing all sorts of clean-up tasks, or for creating objects that are capable of maintaining their state across several HTTP requests.
