Another method that demonstrate how users can be alert whether their upload has been completed or there are any errors during their upload of file. This method is dedicated for asynchronous upload function since PHP do not provides any raw data manipulation without editing PHP setting file to enable certain extension before raw post data manipulation can be done.

It doesn’t matter how good you are, the tools do make a difference. That is not to discount the skill of the person that is using the tools. That is not to say that the tools are more important than the person. The most important thing is still the abilities of the person.

For the last couple of months, we've been quietly developing a MySQL protocol parser for Maatkit. It isn't an implementation of the protocol: it's an observer of the protocol. This lets us gather queries from servers that don't have a slow query log enabled, at very high time resolution.

Java User Group leader Matt Stine talks about JUG Leadership and the lessons he learned as he started a JUG and worked to grow it.

First, I must say that the GNOME documentation "strongly recommends" against building from source files. If you do, it suggests using the GARNOME scripted system. Even GARNOME it says, is only for the "brave and patient".

A recent release of Zend Framework intruduced Zend_Application: an organized way to bootstrap the framework without the need of an ugly boostrap.php file. It comes with plugins support too, so let's see how to create one.

By Default ASP.Net pages communicate with the server through a mechanism call “PostBack”. Postback is very useful and efficient, except for the cases, where 1) You have a huge page, with a lot of processing required at server, so doing all that processing on every postback is not only waste of resou

.NET developers who know Silverlight might imagine that they can't take advantage of Google App Engine, which uses Python. But integrating the two environments is a lot easier than you think. Scott Seely, author of Effective REST Services via .NET, shows how to do it.

Understanding HTTP's cache headers and compression capabilities is a prerequisite for building high-performance web applications.

When setting up Erlang under OS X I have run into two issues. First, how do I keep multiple versions installed at once? I sometimes have a need to evaluate a new version of the Erlang VM while keeping the old version around “just in case.” In a few instances I had two applications which needed different versions of the VM. Second, where do I install all of the 3rd party Erlang libraries? Unlike with Ruby or Python there is no blessed “site” directory for 3rd party Erlang libraries.

There’s a lot of debate these days about the ASP.NET WebForms model vs. the newer ASP.NET MVC model. There are advantages to both. Disadvantages to both. Pick the one that best fits your needs. Nuff said. But sometimes that choice isn’t so obvious.

It’s possible to do a lot of work with ASP.NET and not know anything about IIS, particularly if you work with a large team where IT specialists keep the riff-raff away from production web applications. Ever since Visual Studio started shipping its own web server1, many people don’t rely on IIS for day to day development work (although many of us still do).

Working on a project involving several legacy data migration tasks, I got curious what the Zend_Tool_Project component of the Zend Framework offers to create project specific providers for the above mentioned tasks or ones of similar nature. Therefore the following post will try to show how these providers can be developed in an iterative manner by scaffolding them via the capabilities of the Zend_Tool_Project ProjectProvider provider, enlived with action/task logic, and be used in the project scope.

There are a ton of wordpress plugins for flickr but it seems they can only embed a thumbnails gallery, not several whole size pictures. So I decided to create this small utility in Rebol: each time I will click on the client area of the application, it will generate an img link and add it to a list of other links. When I will right-click on the client area, it will copy the whole list of image links to the clipboard so that I can finally paste them in my wordpress post. This will allow us to get an introduction to Rebol’s Event Handlers.

This blog post shows you how to use the ASPxScheduler with custom objects.

If you right click on an executable in Windows Vista, you’ll find a Compatibility Tab, where you can set compatibility modes (layers) for that executable file. These compatibility layers are collections of shims and loader flags (depending on whether they affect the loader or if they have to intercept Windows API calls throughout the lifetime of the process). However, you’ll find that you can’t do the same thing for MSI files on Windows Vista.

I've came across a very smart and easy plugin that will associate thumbnails to each post on your WordPress blog. It is "Custom Field Images"

A Java Applet using JOGL may utilize 2 methods * New JNLP Applet * Applet-Launcher

Spring 2.5.x introduces annotated controller that makes web development with Spring MVC a lot easier. No more XML is required for each controller you define. Spring MVC's annotated controller reminds me of Ben Parker's famous quote: "With great power comes great responsibility". What's the great responsibility of using the annotated controller? The validation!! With the old base-controller-classes approach you can just inject validators to your form controller and Spring MVC will take care of the validation for you. With annotated controller, this validation mechanism is removed. The common way to do validation with annotated controller is to inject Validator objects into your annotated controller and use its validate() method on the bean you want to validate. It's painful to write these validation steps manually in every request method. Luckily, with Spring 2.x's @Aspect, we can write a nice validation mechanism for our annotated controllers.

attachment_fu makes it incredibly easy to upload pictures and to get thumbnails of the pictures. However getting the thumbnail of exact size is not straight forward and this trick is not mentioned in the README of the attachment_fu plugin.

A little while ago, Carl and I starting digging into Rails’ initializer. We already made a number of improvements, such as adding the ability to add a new initializer at any step in the process, and to make it possible to have multiple initializers in a single process. The second improvement is the first

There are three types of caching in Rails. In this tutorial we are going to concentrate on Page Caching. Page caching is the simplest and fastest form of caching in Rails. If you want to reduce the amount of times your Rails app hits the database then why not add some page caching.

Article explaining how to test for an exception,test for the execution time of a method. Also explains the @Ignore annotation for disabling a test. Article talks about the basic features of JUnit.

It is always not possible to follow proper testing such as writing Test Plan and writing Test cases. In some cases we may need to go with adHoc Testing. because of time constraint or resource constraint. AdHoc Testing is the part of Exploratory testing.
