Debugging Ajax
Developing Ajax applications is a lot of fun, up until things stop working. In addition to the general programming complexities, you need to deal with browser differences, JavaScript and framework idiosyncrasies. Alerts often help only to get our blood pressure high.Ajax for .NET Programmers
In this presentation we will take an example oriented approach to investigate frameworks and facilities available for developing Ajax applications for the .NET platform.Books by Venkat Subramaniam

I received a copy of "Beginning Groovy and Grails—From Novice to Professional" book
by Apress written by Christopher M. Judd, Joseph Faisal Nusairat, and James Shingler. The book takes you quickly through concepts of Groovy in the first three chapters and then takes you into the depth of building Web Applications using Grails in the rest of the book. If you are looking into starting out with Grails, this is certainly a book for you. Congratulations to the authors. |

I have been waiting for this book since I saw my friend Neal
Ford give a talk on being a Productive Programmer. Now, I have it in my hands. Many of us strive to be a craftsman—we don't simply want to get by; we want to do what we do at its best. For most people I interact with, that is developing software, working with computers, and languages and frameworks. There are two things we need to focus on—How we do things, and What we do. How can you get better at working with your computers? Neal answers this question in the first part—Mechanics—of the book. He shows us how to improve the hows when we interact with the computers and write software. In the second part of the book—Practice—he shows what practices we can follow to improve our ability to succeed as programmers. There are several gems in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and his examples are so darn good that I already stole (with acknowledgment) some examples from this book in my classes. |
