Further, Knockout.js is fully documented with a complete set of online tutorials. What does Knockout.js do? It simplifies the task of building data-aware web UIs through the application of the Model-View-View-Model (MVVM) pattern.

Introducing Windows Azure Hosted Node.js Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2013 Jan/Feb Release Date: Monday, December 10, 2012 Quick ID: 1301051 In a previous article, I wrote about how simple it is to deploy an ASP.NET MVC Web Application to Windows Azure using Team Foundation Service hosted at tfspreview.com. In this article, I will build on those concepts and show you how to build and deploy a simple Node.js website to Azure using Git as the source code repository. One of Azure’s core strengths is its openness. In addition to the .NET SDK, Azure has SDKs for Java, PHP, Python and for the purposes of this article, Node.js. That openness also extends to Azure hosted Virtual Machines where Ubuntu, openSUSE and SUSE Linux are supported in addition to core Microsoft server technologies such as Windows Server 2012/2008 and SQL Server. In this article, I’ll provide a brief primer on Node.js, Git and how those technologies are first class citizens in Azure. One technology you will not find in this article is Visual Studio! We’ll use Notepad as our sole developer IDE!

Introducing jQuery Mobile Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Jan/Feb Release Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 Quick ID: 1201041 The newest member of the jQuery family of projects is jQuery Mobile. A good way to describe what jQuery Mobile is to think of it as jQuery UI for mobile devices. If you have wanted to write mobile-optimized UIs over your applications, jQuery Mobile is a library that you will want to add to your bag of tricks. Like jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile is themeable. This article makes two assumptions. First, you are familiar with jQuery and second, you are familiar with jQuery UI. If you are not familiar with jQuery or jQuery UI, I suggest that you take a moment to familiarize yourself with those libraries. Fortunately, the websites for these projects (jquery.com and jQueryUI.com respectively) are replete with comprehensive documentation and code examples. jQuery Mobile is no different. The official website for jQuery Mobile is jquerymobile.com. As of this writing, jQuery Mobile 1.0 Beta 3 has been released. Its beta status notwithstanding, jQuery Mobile is ready for primetime and has been incorporated into many applications already. In this article, I will cover what you need to get started with some simple examples that illustrate how to create one page and multi-page apps. In addition, I’ll touch upon the theming capabilities in jQuery Mobile.

Ask the Doc Detective Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2009 Nov/Dec Release Date: Friday, October 23, 2009 Quick ID: 0911131 Chapter 1: Mashup Styles, Techniques, and Technologies Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, Book Excerpts Release Date: Saturday, August 01, 2009 Quick ID: 090093 This chapter is an excerpt from the new book, Mashups: Strategies for the Modern Enterprise by Jeffrey Hanson, published by Addison-Wesley Professional, ISBN 032159181X Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. For more info please visit: www.informit.com/title/032159181X Safari Books Online subscribers can access the book here: http://safari.informit.com/9780321591869To begin design work on a mashup, you must determine what is to be “mashed” together. Three high-level categories of items can be mashed together-user interface artifacts (presentation), data, and/or application functionality (processes). This might include HTML snippets, on-demand JavaScript to access an external API, web service APIs from one of your corporate servers, RSS feeds, and/or other data to be mixed and mashed within the application or pages. The implementation style, techniques, and technologies used for a given mashup depend on this determination. Once the items are determined, your development team can proceed with applying languages, processes, and methodologies to the application at hand.In this chapter, I point out some of the most widely used styles, techniques, and technologies to build mashups for each of the three primary categories or items. An Introduction to jQuery, Part 1 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2009 Jan/Feb Release Date: Friday, December 19, 2008 Quick ID: 0902051 jQuery is a small JavaScript library that makes development of HTML-based client JavaScript drastically easier. With client logic getting ever more complex and browsers still diverging in features and implementation of features, jQuery and other client libraries provide much needed normalization when working with JavaScript and the HTML DOM. Virtual Earth 101 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2009 Jan/Feb Release Date: Friday, December 19, 2008 Quick ID: 0902081 I read somewhere that nearly 80% of all data has some location-related aspect to it. Common business questions in data include: Where do we ship these orders? Where are flood plains located and what rainfall amount are problematic for them? Where are vendors and/or customers located? What delivery route should we use? Can we track using GPS? Where are voting districts located? Where are the best hospitals located? Where are the sales regions that produce the most revenue? And so on. It is highly likely that a significant portion of the data you work with has a location-related aspect to it. Visually presenting this information could lead to better management decisions or possibly uncovering trends that were not evident before. A good application can present this information using a location-oriented approach. That is where Microsoft Virtual Earth fits in. What’s New in ASP.NET 3.5? Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Jul/Aug Release Date: Saturday, June 07, 2008 Quick ID: 0807051 Microsoft released Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 in November 2007. I have good news and, depending on your perspective, I have either bad news or good news. If you were hoping ASP.NET 3.5 would be released with a variety of new controls, features, and architectural changes then I have bad news for you. If you’re still trying to master all the controls, features, best practices, project structures, deployment options, and architectural changes introduced when ASP.NET went from version 1.1 to 2.0, I have good news for you. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of new things you will want to take advantage of in ASP.NET 3.5, but the changes from ASP.NET 2.0 to ASP.NET 3.5 are more additive and incremental than monumental.
