A quick and dirty JavaScript Ellipsis function

While working on my upcoming cool project, I wanted a JavaScript function that will perform an Ellipsis, bare in mind that I usually use C# and already have a .NET method that will do just that. However, in this case since my web application is 90% JS, I figured I could just do that client side. Here is what I came up with, I just wrote this 5 minutes ago, so use at your own risk. Ellipsis (plural ellipses; or "three little points of suspension"; from the Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission") is a mark or series...

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...

I'm done with RDBMS, I'm going NoSQL - Part 1

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...
