Blogging Task 11

Research the main features of the Yahoo UI JavaScript library (YUI). Summarise these features in a blog post and comment on the main differences between jQuery and YUI.

–       The Yahoo User Interface (YUI) Library is a coherent collection of JavaScript and CSS resources that make it easier to build richly interactive applications in web browsers

–       YAHOO Global Object: The Yahoo Global Object contains language utilities and other baseline infrastructure for YUI.

–       Dom Collection: Helps with common DOM scripting tasks, including element positioning and CSS style management.

–       Event Utility: Provides developers with easy and safe access to browser events (such as mouse clicks and key presses). It also provides the Custom Event object for publishing and subscribing to custom events.

–       Comes with utilities

Blogging Task 10

Research the main features of Google Apps Engine. Summarise these features in a blog post and comment on the main differences between Ruby of Rails web application development compared to Google Apps Engine. Indicate which approach you favour personally.

–       Lets you run your web applications on googles infrastructure

–       Has support for java or Python

• With App Engine’s Java runtime environment, you can build your app using standard Java technologies, including the JVM, Java servlets, and the Java programming language—or any other language using a JVM-based interpreter or compiler, such as JavaScript or Ruby. App Engine also features a dedicated Python runtime environment, which includes a fast Python interpreter and the Python standard library. The Java and Python runtime environments are built to ensure that your application runs quickly, securely, and without interference from other apps on the system.

–       Share with the world or limit the users

–       Costs

• There are no set-up costs and no recurring fees. The resources your application uses, such as storage and bandwidth, are measured by the gigabyte, and billed at competitive rates.

–       Restrictions

• Developer has read only access
• APPENGINE can only execute code called from an HTTP request

Blogging Task 9

Summarise the main features of the Ruby on Rails technology for building web applications. In particular comment on the use of the MVC architecture, ActiveRecord and the stringent naming convention.

–       Open source web framework thats optimized for programmer happiness and sunstainable productivity.

–       MVC:

• Like many contemporary web frameworks, Rails uses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture pattern to organize application programming.^[5]
• For instance, if there is a class that is named “date” in the model, then the related table in the database source will automatically be named “date.”

–       Active record:

• Ruby on Rails is separated into various packages, namely ActiveRecord (an object-relational mapping system for database access),

–       Naming convention:

• “Convention over Configuration” means a developer only needs to specify unconventional aspects of the application. For example, if there is a class Sale in the model, the corresponding table in the database is called sales by default. It is only if one deviates from this convention, such as calling the table “products sold”, that the developer needs to write code regarding these names. Generally, this leads to less code and less repetition.

Twitter

Having done a twitter assignment for WebApps 1, it was interesting to implement javascript from that assignment into WADE (web application development environments.

Which is why I am blogging about this because at the time I thought who on earth would use twitter??? But now it is becoming more obvious how many celebrities use it as a way to notify their fans!

Now on Rove which I am only watching because of Australian however it is funnnnyyy 😀 And they were talking about tweeting

Australian Idol

Just finished watching Australian Idol

And Stan walker is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Now you are probably wondering why I am doing a post on this and your probably thinking WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH WEBAPPS…

But honestly I love singing and playing music so I LOVE australian idol, cause the talent is amazing 🙂 and that was my intention of writing the post. However, I decided that it is quite interesting that there must be some sort of application behind the voting of the show because there is no way some guy sits there counting all the votes!

So I wouldn’t mind reading about it up when I am less busy 🙂
