 Software Engineering for Ajax
A great advantage of using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) when building Ajax applications is leveraging advanced software engineering. This week you'll learn how to use the Java software engineering tools in GWT to build high-quality Ajax applications. By Ryan Dewsbury. 0512
Perl Pragma Primer
Pragmas in Perl are specific instructions that we can embed in Perl code, depending on our needs and preferences, that allow our scripts to be compiled and behave differently than they would otherwise. In this article, we look at how pragmas work. By Dan Ragle. 0508
Implement Drag and Drop in Your Web Apps: Part 2
Last time we looked at how to use the dnd module. This week, we look at how it's implemented. Like all GWT modules, our drag-and-drop module has an XML configuration file. It also has some Java classes and interfaces. David Geary and Rob Gordon. 0505
How to Create an Ajax Autocomplete Text Field: Part 5
In part 4 of the series, we defined the appearance of our autocomplete control using an external cascading style sheet (CSS). This week we'll create a JavaScript file to manage the behavior of the autocomplete control in the browser. By Rob Gravelle. 0501
Implement Drag and Drop in Your Web Apps
With the advent of GWT (Google Web Toolkit), we have drag-and-drop capabilities in a Java-based Web application framework. In this solution, we implement drag and drop in its own module, allowing you to easily incorporate it into your applications. By David Geary and Rob Gordon. 0428
Email Marketing for MySpace Artists
The competition for attention on MySpace is intense. Many artists want to stand out from the crowd, but it can be difficult to break through the clutter. Enter email marketing, which gives artists the ability to send out newsletters, targeted email campaigns and more. By Robert Burko. 0423
Customizing and Managing Your Site's Appearance - Part 3
When a page that uses a master page (i.e. a content page) is requested, ASP.NET merges the content page and master page together (assuming both have been compiled) by inserting the master page's content at the beginning of the content page's control tree. This means that the master page content is actually a control added to the page. By Randy Connolly. 0421
How to Create an Ajax Autocomplete Text Field: Part 4
In part 3 of the series, we added the brains behind our Autocomplete text field's search functionality. Now it's time to turn our attention to the Web components. This week we'll create the CSS file, since it, along with the JavaScript file, need to be linked to the AutocompleteSearch.jsp page. By Rob Gravelle. 0416
Customizing and Managing Your Site's Appearance - Part 2
This week we'll look at an example that demonstrates the dynamic selection of themes. The page contains no appearance markup, only structured content. All formatting is contained in the theme skins and CSS files. By Randy Connolly. 0414
How to Create an Ajax Autocomplete Text Field: Part 3
This week we'll be developing the AutocompleteServlet. The servlet acts much like an ASP, Perl or PHP script in that it's executed by the server and accepts parameters from the browser. By Rob Gravelle. 0409
