HTML, CSS, Javascript

This is the fourth edition of the series “Learning Web Technologies with Sri”. In First edition or part, we did learn about Networks & in Second edition or part, we did learn about Servers with differences between Application & Web Server. In Third edition or part, we did learn about word INTERNET, what is it etc.. Now lets learn about topic which makes Internet world beautiful. Web is nothing but an information document which is well formatted and made it available to world through internet. These documents are beautified, delivered, created, edited, or deleted using many technologies or languages. One among these is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. They accompany each other generally and work together to make web document more understandable, usable and helpful. If you see one way HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT is all about separating content, presentation & model/controlling the web document. As each one of them is quiet a big topic to cover, I will start with basics and move till intermediate level in topics and try to cover as much as possible, from there on I guess internet/books etc.. are resources for you to learn more. With that said, without further more delay let’s learn about these things.

RIAPress

RIAPress is my first Mac OSX App. This is a utility app which works similarly to normal web browser. Normal web browser would have Ads, Flash Content, Popups distracting the actual content reading, but this App doesn’t support any of these hence giving you a Ads Free, Pop Up free content reading experience.

Thanks & Regards, Srinivas

Adobe AIR Native Extension using Xcode

Note: This post or article are governed by following disclaimer policy.

Prior to Adobe AIR 3, only Adobe could add core features to the runtime. Developers requiring new features could only wait. Now developers can extend the runtime themselves. This new capability allows developers to:

  • Achieve deeper integration with target devices
  • Incorporate legacy native code in their application
  • Achieve maximum performance for critical code

With that said, lot of articles are available on web which explains how to build AIR Native extensions, the below are few among populars

Even though lot of these article should help you run through samples, understand how ANE works, issues would arrise when you try to build these samples from scratch by yourselves, especially in Mac platform. I guess the problem is with the steps we follow to build ANE’s. Each of those samples, articles we follow sometimes works for particular version of editor, SDK’s etc.. With that said this post should help you build ANE for Mac using Xcode with ease. I have followed the same steps which I am going to explain here & tested on Snow Leopard & Lion with Xcode 4.2.x as well as Xcode 4.3.x, and it works great.

National Football League

Note: This post or article are governed by following disclaimer policy.

You could already guess from my name that I am basically from INDIA, where CRICKET is everything and Indian Premiere League[IPL] has boomed the way world looks at Cricket and India. To prove my point how important Cricket is for India, the advertisement media rights for Indian Cricket was sold at record 386 Million dollars for 5 years I believe [not sure about the number of years, previously it was $80+M]. Each player who is auctioned in IPL worth more than an half a million dollar for 8 weeks [i.e.,14 games], before IPL, average player earning was not even 40,000$ for year [not for all players, some of the young guys, who now are auctioned at as high as 1.9M$ for 2 year (i.e..,16 weeks, 28 games in total)] .

Entire 1B people goes GAA GAA & wild when batting master Sachin Tendulkar comes on ground!, he is God for Indians. He has more centuries, runs in both Test & ODI than any other player in History of the sport!. It would take me almost 8-10 years to keep appreciating the game and players for their contribution, so let’s stop about Cricket and concentrate on my New Interest Football [American].

My anxiety in game made me to join 5 leagues in Yahoo fantasy leagues for 2010-2011 season & become champion in all!. This achievement and my love towards the game made me dig into record books and figure out and know more about Super Bowl’s and teams. I would like to share the same in this article and hope to keep updating the table of facts every year until I could. Before that, let me share my experience in watching games, playing fantasy football, this season of 45th Year of Super Bowl.

Web Servers

Note: This post or article are governed by following disclaimer policy.

In this second part of “Learning Web Technologies with Sri”, we will understand & learn about web servers, application servers.

Rather than talking about Web Server & Application[App] Server differences, it’s better to know the definitions or the basics of each & then the knowledge of each would bring out the differences between them automatically!!.

Lot of resources are available on web on similar topics. I have gone through few of them & tried to put the things in little different manner so that people can understand it better, especially [School or college Students who have just started to understand or know the web]. In the final segment of this article I have references for the source which I have used or refered. Full Credit & gratitude goes to original author’s of those sources. Without wasting anymore time, let’s dive in & learn about web servers & applications servers. To start with lets talk about Web server.

Learning Web Technologies with Sri

Hi Folks,

I have been quiet thinking to blog/podcast on something new from past few months. As I browse the web I see tons of information on every single topic you pick. The best site being always Wikipedia, where you could find topics of almost all the things you want to know. Then I thought, why not bring out existing things with fresh look so that the students [in Schools & Colleges], who are just starting to open their minds & trying to understand the world of technology, can benefit out of it. Hoping that students & other folks[starters] will be benefiting out this series for best, I will be starting this series of “Learning Web Technologies With Sri”. I will be dividing this series into multipart so that I can even have Video podcast’s hosted in iTunes, Blog and other places, so that you need not always go through this feed or blog sitting in-front of computer or your web enabled devices, you can subscribe, download these podcast’s watch or listen to them on go.

BlazeDS MyEclipse Flex Integration

Hi Folks,

This Article/Post is in follow with my previous article on MyEclipse Flex Builder Integration - Installation Steps for Flex Builder Plugin in MyEclipse. Some of the folks, who went through the article, applauded & I was little esteemed by seeing my first article being published in MyEclipse news letter of Jan 2009. Thank you MyEclipse team for recognition given by you folks. Keep up the Good Work. Saying this let me tell you the motto behind writing this article. After seeing the article, many of my Indian Developer folks, went through steps & were able to setup the MyEclipse with Flex Builder Plugin. After that, some of the folks did try to use BlazeDS on top of Tomcat which comes with MyEclipse. Some of them have failed to integrate, either because of the steps followed or because of the confusion involved in the steps of integrating the Flex Builder & MyEclipse together. So to resolve all doubts, issues faced, I was forced to write this article, which basically explains step by step procedure of deploying BlazeDS on Tomcat server in MyEclipse & also configuring Flex Project to work along with it. I will try to make it as simple as possible. As in my previous article, here too I will try to upload a small video & also explain step by step in words along with the help of snapshots.

MyEclipse Adobe Flex Integration
It’s been very long time now the Flex being introduced by Adobe into the market. As all of us know from version 2, Flex Builder was built on Eclipse. Adobe has done well in coming up with idea of two installers, one being a standalone installer & the other being the one which allows you to pick the eclipse folder and install the builder using existing Eclipse on the System.
Even though adobe has done good job, there are few popular Eclipse versions or distributions which they customize in suchway that it might not be suitable for updating Eclipse with Flex Builder. RAD, RSA from IBM and MyEclipse are few examples to mention here. There are few technotes in Adobe site which explains about how to resolve few issues which might occur while updating existing Eclipse distribution with Flex Builder. I believe going through them will help you guys to understand and use them wisely too. This post will explain the step by step process of updating the existing MyEclipse distribution with Flex Builder.
