QuickFlip jQuery Plugin

2009-07-13T19:10:00.001-07:00

QuickFlip jQuery Plugin

QuickFlip is a jQuery plugin that uses a CSS trick to cause a div, paragraph or any other piece of HTML markup to flip like a card. With a result similar to the UI animation on the iPhone, this jQuery plugin is easily integrated into your webpage to make any portion appear to flip and show its back.

How QuickFlip works
Normally QuickFlip uses two panels: a front and a back. When a flip occurs, the front panel is split in half with Javascript. The right and left halves slide into one another, and afterwards the opposite occurs with the back panel. While it’s not as smooth as some Flash animation, it all happens so quickly that it really looks like the panel is flipping over.

What is CF Script

2009-06-17T04:10:00.000-07:00

What is CF Script

CFSCRIPT (ColdFusion) is a server-side scripting language that works with CFML to give you the best of both worlds: an elegant, tag-based syntax whenever you need it and a flexible scripting syntax if you don't.

CFSCRIPT is an instruction to the ColdFusion processing engine to treat a block of code as scripting-based syntax rather than as tag-based syntax.

for example, which loops from 1 to 10, adding each index to a running total:
<cfset thesum="0">
<cfloop from="”1”" index="”i”" to="”10”">
<cfset +="" i="" thesum="TheSum">

Following is the same code expressed in CFSCRIPT’s scripting syntax:
<cfscript>
TheSum = 0;
for(i = 1; i LTE 10; i = i + 1) {
TheSum = TheSum + 1;
}
</cfscript>

CFSCRIPT doesn’t support the ++ syntax for incrementing a variable that may be familiar to you if you have experience with Java, JavaScript, or C++. Look familiar? If you’re having JavaScript déjà vu, that’s normal, because CFSCRIPT is almost identical to JavaScript.

MySqlBackupGUI: Remote Backups on MySQL Databases

2009-03-17T01:36:00.000-07:00

MySqlBackupGUI is a Windows GUI application for performing remote backups on MySQL databases.

The database information is downloaded to the local machine and stored as an SQL file. Which can then be easily restored using phpMySQLAdmin or other such like utility.
The whole backup process is done using mysqldump.exe which is embedded in this application and extracted to the temp folder, where it is run.

You can specify server/username/password/database and location for storing the backed up sql files. These settings are kept in the registry so they dont have to be constantly entered.

The backups are automatically named in the following format:-
[PATH]/servername database name dd-mm-yy hh-mm.sql

Once settings have been saved, automatic backups can be performed using Windows Scheduler if the -auto option is added to the commandline. This -auto option will run the program without a GUI and will automatically run the backup.

System Requirements:
Operating System: Windows 98/2000/XP/2003
RAM: 4Mb
Hard Drive: 2Mb

New SQLyog 8.0 : introducing features Query Profiler, SQL Formatter and vastly improved look and feel

2009-02-09T19:14:00.000-08:00

SQLyog 8.0 is a major new version of SQLyog introducing major features like Query Profiler, SQL Formatter and vastly improved look and feel.

Query Profiler:
MySQL has always lacked the sophisticated profiling tools shipped with proprietary databases like SQL Server, etc. MySQL developers have largely depended on EXPLAIN for tuning queries. The SHOW PROFILE patch by Jeremy Cole was introduced in the MySQL Community version 5.0.37 and it provided much more insight into where the query spends its time. However, to take advantage of this feature, MySQL developers were supposed to switch on profiling, run their queries and then filter the profiling data from a table that contained the profiling results of the last few profiled queries. A lot of manual book-keeping is required to take advantage of this powerful feature. In an ideal situation, the MySQL developer should execute the queries and the profiling info should be available along with the result-set. Unfortunately, none of the MySQL client tools (desktop or web-based) provide intrinsic support for this feature.

ODBscript

2008-08-11T05:28:00.000-07:00

ODBscript is a Web page "scripting" language that is easy to learn and quick to use every time, even if you are not a programmer. Using standard SQL (a database language, which is also easy to learn), you can retrieve values from databases and display them in your Web pages, and you can update your databases from Web browser forms, all with an absolute minimum amount of "coding."
ODBscript uses a "CGI" or "ISAPI" program that is executed by your Windows-based Web server to process "script" files that you can write using your favorite HTML editor. These scripts produce standard HTML Web pages (because any HTML tags and text in the script are simply sent to the browser), but by including ODBscript processing statements, your Web pages can also do things such as interact with your databases and operate on user input from a Web page form.
A CGI program can be executed by a Web URL that references a program file rather than an HTML file. (ISAPIs are "server extensions" supported by MS-IIS and other Windows Web servers. They are similar to CGIs but more efficient because they are DLLs that do not need to be loaded for each request, and the ODBscript ISAPI also uses ODBC "connection pooling" to save overhead by reusing database connections.) To get data from a Web user, for example, a CGI or ISAPI program can be executed as the "action" for an HTML input form. The program can process this data and create a Web page to send back to the user's browser. CGI and ISAPI programs can also be executed with standard "anchor" text and graphic links, possibly with input variables directly in the URL. CGI and ISAPI programs make Web page content dynamic rather than static, so they allow Web-based services beyond simple document presentation.
ODBscript processing is completely controlled by the script files that you create. In these script files, you can have HTML formatted text, JavaScript, and stylesheets -- anything that a standard HTML file can have -- but you can also have ANSI SQL statements to SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE data in any ODBC-accessible database. (Most databases that run on Windows platforms have ODBC interfaces. You can use Microsoft's MS-Access or SQL Server, several third-party databases such as Oracle, or even the freeware MySQL.) Database query results can be inserted into the HTML text and output to the browser, formatted any way that you like, or the user's input can easily be saved in the database. In addition to this ODBC SQL interface, ODBscript provides many other useful data processing functions, without the complexity of CGI programming, to make your site fully interactive.
As a simple example, the following ODBscript commands will query a database table named Products and automatically display the results in an HTML table:

            <%
            DATABASE "DSN=myProducts;UID=Admin";
            SELECT ProductNumber, Description, Price FROM Products;
            TABLE border=1;
            %>

That's all you need to list all of your products. Suppose, however, that you wanted to provide your users with a keyword search function. You could provide a small HTML form on your pages with an input field named "keyword" for example, and execute a script that contained these statements:

            <%
            DATABASE "DSN=myProducts;UID=Admin";
            SELECT ProductNumber, Description, Price FROM Products WHERE Description LIKE '%$keyword$%';
            TABLE border=1;
            %>

That will work for a single word or exact phrase, but suppose you wanted to provide a more complex search, allowing multiple keywords, optionally using "and", "or" or "not" and even parenthetical expressions to control exactly how those words are interpreted, and perhaps allowing a product number as a search criteria. ODBscript provides a simple command that does that for you, automatically generating and executing the necessary SQL:

            <%
            DATABASE "DSN=myProducts;UID=Admin";
            SEARCH TABLE=Products, KEYWORDS=$keywords$, 'ProductNumber', 'Description',
                   COLUMNS=(ProductNumber, Description, Price);
            TABLE border=1;
            %>

If you want to format the results yourself, instead of using the automatic TABLE command, there is an easy way to set up an "each row loop". The processing in the loop will be repeated for each result row selected from the database. Anywhere within this loop, you can use the "variable" names $ProductNumber$, $Description$, and $Price$ and those names will be replaced with the corresponding database column values for a single row. So, you can format the output page any way you want, add links to "order" buttons, etc.

Aptana Jaxer™ - The Ajax Server

2008-06-17T01:25:00.000-07:00

Jaxer is a new kind of Web server optimized for Ajax pages and applications. It's open source and 100% free. Use Jaxer's server-side JavaScript APIs to interact with databases and object stores, communicate over networks (FTP, SMTP, HTTP, etc...), interact with file systems, manage state with user sessions, and lots more. Plus since Jaxer runs JavaScript, you can use the same client-side JavaScript language and Ajax libraries you already know on the server too. Use server-side scripts to modify the DOM or create new DOM elements on the server before it goes on to the browser.

Write your client-side and server-side code in a single HTML page. Choose where functions run by adding a simple "runat" attribute. Run functions on the browser, on the server, or even in both locations. You can even remotely call server-side functions from the client without all the mess of the underlying Ajax plumbing -- all of the synchronous, asynchronous, remoting and data marshaling is handled automatically. Imagine writing form validations once that work both at the client and on the server! Jaxer unifies Ajax development and lets you build richer web applications more quickly.

JRE

Using the Aptana IDE requires you to have v1.5.0 or later of the Java JRE installed on your computer. For Windows users, take into account whether or not you already have the JRE installed when you choose which version of the Aptana installer file to download.
If you are using Windows 98, you will need to download a JRE separately from Sun.
The Mac version does not include the JRE because the Mac OS already includes the appropriate JRE. However, Milestone 8 is only supported on 10.4 or later. Users of 10.3.9 can continue to use Milestone 7.
The Linux version does not include a JRE. Depending on your distro, you may be able to easily update that from Add/Remove programs.

Google Web Toolkit

2008-05-04T20:23:00.000-07:00

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) it's tool to help you write your front end in the Java programming language and GWT compiles your source into highly optimized JavaScript. Writing web apps today is a tedious and error-prone process. You spend 90% of your time working around browser quirks, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. It doesn't have to be that way.

High performance JavaScript. GWT produces AJAX apps that:
Load faster than hand-written JavaScript apps
Use smaller, more compact, cacheable code
