JQuery mobile not to be confused with JQTouch is now available, and I have to say its looking very promising. If you are a big JQuery fan like me and you are interested in build one or more UI for a mobile platform then look no further – the new JQuery Mobile is Touch-Optimized Web Framework for Smartphones & Tablets. jQuery mobile framework takes the "write less, do more" mantra to the next level: Instead of writing unique apps for each mobile device or OS, the jQuery mobile framework will allow you to design a single...

Before I start cramming code, I’ll like to know what you guys think. I’ve been working heavily on my key value store and it has been working as expected, however, the main reason for me building this store does not seem to be completely eliminated with the functionalities that I have in place so far. therefore, I’ll like to add an extra piece to the jigsaw but before I do so I’ll like to hear what you have to say. The storage engine itself is solid and it works with the minimal functionalities that it currently has. As a...
As I stated in my previous posts here and here, I have set out to write my own NoSQL database simply because I can – well not really but because it will give me the edge, learning experience will be great and there isn’t really too many options when it comes to native .NET NoSQL Databases. I want to be able to build web applications without the RDBMS overhead and schema design time. I haven’t done much yet with distributed or replicating side of things yet, so far all I wanted was a prototype to show that it...
In Part 1 of this series, I mentioned that I really don’t see any need for RDBMS’s and I’ve yet to find a developer that can prove me wrong, however, there is one thing that I’ve yet to solve – that is reporting, although I don’t necessarily think its a problem. There is always the comment that you can’t report on databases that are not relational, how true is that? Very true! oh wait – not really! Read David’s article – about how it all started. However, SQL Server did not start at the...
Yep, the title is right, I’ve been working for years and years building a toolset that will help me develop applications very fast without the setup delay. I want to be able to focus on the application itself rather than the entities around it and one of the most irritating bottlenecks is the database. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’ve worked out a way of speeding up that arena a bit such as using active record and other ORM tools. At this point after designing my database I can simply run my tool and it will create Active Record...
Here is a very simple way to resize an image using a bitmap as a canvas and the graphics object as a the resizing tool. Don’t forget to reference System.Drawing. /// <summary>
/// Resizes an image from a source file to a destination file
/// the destination file will contain the exact image at the size specified
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sourceImagePath">the source image file that needs to be resized</param>
/// <param name="destinationImagePath">the destination path that the source
/// image file needs to be resized to</param>
/// <param name="width">the new width</param>
/// <param name="height">the new height</param>
static void ResizeImage(string sourceImagePath,

One of the most efficient and non-intrusive ways you can implement an intercepting procedure is via an HttpModule. An HttpModule simply receives every request going to or coming from IIS and it allows you to manipulate the content as you see fit and pass it along. I wanted to spit out the time it takes from receiving a request to writing the response on one or more web pages and there was no other better way of doing it except writing an HttpModule, it toke me all but 10mins. Here is the code, feel free to blow it up. ...
It seems the MySpace gurus are giving back to the community, they are now providing there IE performance tracker for free to the public. MySpace’s Performance Tracker is a browser plug-in that help developers to improve their code performance by capturing and measuring possible bottlenecks on their web pages.
