Sms2do is a free environment to design and evaluate SMS text messaging applications. It can be used to add MO (Mobile Originated) services to any application (and demonstrate them to user) in minutes before actually deploying and trying them on a mobile phone. An high level DSL (based on Javascript) allows writing business logic in a few lines. All Java runtime and libraries are also available.

gameQuery is a jQuery plug-in to help make javascript games easier to develop by adding some simple mechanism and commodity. It's still in a very early stage of development may change a lot in the version to come. The project has now also a Google Code page where the svn repository of the project will soon be hosted.

Let's say you are browsing a CSS gallery and you want to check out some new and beautiful website designs. And you are of course interested in some details - for example, which category design belongs to, what's the rating or whatsoever. This information could be rendered below thumbnail, but there are other, more attractive ways of displaying additional data. In this article we'll see how to improve image gallery with a simple trick.

This series of posts on using jQuery with no prior knowledge comes to its third iteration. Today's post focuses on an introduction to the Validation Plug-in. This plug-in extends jQuery by adding simple client-side validation to a given HTML form. In future entries we'll examine some of the challenges this plug-in has with traditional ASP.Net web form applications; however, for this post, we'll focus on just the basics.

Start with a Java applet and build a server-based proxy system that uses your browser to access an arbitrary Web service. You'll use JavaScript code to access applet-based information and call a servlet, which retrieves the remote information. Thus, you bypass the same-server restrictions on what an applet can and cannot do.

Over at CSS-tricks there’s an article about blocking Internet Explorer 6. The IE 6 Blocker Script is a very nice idea and that’s what I will probably use on my personal sites. If that’s a little too extreme for you, check out what I use on client web sites.

The Dojo Toolkit now has support for multi-file uploads, thanks to the new Deft project. The dojox.form.FileUploader class embeds a hidden SWF file in the page which, when triggered, will open a system dialog that supports multiple file selection, and also file masks, which allows the user to filter their selection by file type.

Cappuccino is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with. Cappuccino is built on top of standard web technologies like JavaScript, and it implements most of the familiar APIs from GNUstep and Apple's Cocoa frameworks. When you program in Cappuccino, you don't need to concern yourself with the complexities of traditional web technologies like HTML, CSS, or even the DOM. The unpleasantries of building complex cross browser applications are abstracted away for you. Cappuccino was implemented using a new programming language called Objective-J, which is modelled after Objective-C and built entirely on top of JavaScript. Programs written in Objective-J are interpreted in the client, so no compilation or plugins are required. Objective-J is released alongside Cappuccino in this project and under the LGPL.

Brendan Eich just posted some new metrics for TraceMonkey (Firefox's new Javascript JIT compiler) and it looks like it could be faster than V8.

I think I can add one more option to my last post about VMs. With Chrome, Google released a new virtual machine for Javascript called V8. I’ve spent some sweet time playing with it and browsing through the code in the past two days and thought some would be interested in my findings.

From a developer perspective, Google Chrome sends a clear message about Google's commitment to JavaScript. What does this means to the next generation RIA technologies: Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe AIR, JavaFX?

As we all know, Google's Chrome browser hit the web yesterday. Whether you wanted to or not, you definitely downloaded Google's effort to see what ingenuity they put into their browser. It's clean, fast, and more stable than Firefox has been for me lately.

Once a long time ago (in 80s) I think Assembly was considered the savior In 90s the days of C++, Visual Basic 6.0, JAVA, PHP,… etc I think the savior was the C language These days (WEB 2.0 days) all of the applications are moving to web using PHP J2EE, .NET 2005/2008, R on R and others. The common factor between them is they all need JavaScript

It’s always good to consider all of your options before settling on a JavaScript framework that’s right for you and/or your team – and though there’s definitely a lot of compelling reasons to stick to the big names – it won’t hurt you any to at least try the alternatives. This article showcases 10 alternative and capable JavaScript frameworks/libraries to explore. Links to some of their demos (when available) are included in the entry so that you can see the framework in action.

So simple to use, yet highly configurable. This plugin is pure javascript, so you can add image cropping and even general image boundary selection features to your site without requiring your users to have Flash functionality. Works very well on just about all browsers and platforms.

I recently received a request to cover some basic tips that could be useful for anyone using ASP.NET 2.0, in their projects. I am creating the 'ASP.NET 2.0 Easy To Do' series to cover such topics. In this article we will see how easy it is to use recursion and clear values of all controls on a page using ASP.NET 2.0 and JavaScript

A new JavaScript Engine has hit the pavement running: The new V8 engine (powering the brand-new Google Chrome browser). There are now a ton of JavaScript engines on the market (even when you only look at the ones being actively used in browsers):

I have done a micro benchmark to compare Chrome/Firefox 3.0/Firefox TraceMonkey (3.1) and IE.

Some five hours ago Google introduced Google Chrome and put it on their site for download. Its main goal is that highly AJAXed Javascript "web applications" shall run faster and more safe with Google Chrome, thus enabling a new era of web based applications like Google Maps, Google Mail or others. Time to look at speed and compatibility issues with more complex applications, even though the browser is stated as a "Google beta". Again.

It turns out that Google Chrome reached 6th place ahead the poor IE6 only, 49% slower than the fastest browser: Opera 9.5 (in DOM selector tests).

Google Chrome looks cool, ok… But what is even cooler for me is V8, the super JavaScript VM. JavaScript is a dynamic language, just like Ruby. You can add stuff to objects at runtime, like Ruby. It’s object oriented, like Ruby. It has a GC, like Ruby. … What if we could run Ruby on V8?

In terms of web design, Apple.com is a very good exemple of clean semantic code and stunning graphics. Here’s 5 high quality tutorials to design like apple.com and recreate Apple’s menubar, breadcrumbs, stylesheets…

Here is our first impressions of Google's beta Browser called Chrome that was just released today.

Developer: Wow the JavaScript interpreter on Firefox 3 is awesome, but the one on the new Safari is even better. It is a great time to be a JavaScript developer! Me: It is still a lot slower than ActionScript.

A quick comparison of JavaScript speed in Internet Explorer 8 (Beta 2), FireFox 3, and Google Chrome.
