Experiments in Web Programming

BrainJar.com features technical articles, tutorials and examples of programming for the web.

Encore un site sympa avec des tutoriaux, des exemples sur CSS, Javascript.
De plus tout le code fourni est disponible sous GPL .

Doing it with STYLE.

This site documents my attempts at understanding and exploring the possibilities of CSS. From standard navigation links to my more bizarre experimental techniques.

All my examples are produced with JUST CSS, no javascript, or any other language, has been used in any of the examples. The demonstrations are designed to work in all the latest browsers, some may also work in earlier versions.

“For people who make websites”

A List Apart Magazine explores the design, development, and meaning of web content, with a special focus on techniques and benefits of designing with web standards.

Des articles très intéressants, par exemple :

1. Onion Skinned Drop Shadows
2. CSS Drop Shadows
3. Sliding Doors of CSS
4. …

DOAP is a project to create an XML/RDF vocabulary to describe open source projects.

In addition to developing an RDF schema and examples, the DOAP project aims to provide tool support in all the popular programming languages.

Initial goals include:

* Internationalizable description of a software project and its associated resources, including participants and Web resources
* Basic tools to enable the easy creation and consumption of such descriptions
* Interoperability with other popular Web metadata projects (RSS, FOAF, Dublin Core)
* The ability to extend the vocabulary for specialist purposes

Use cases for project descriptions include:

* Easy importing of projects into software directories
* Data exchange between software directories
* Automatic configuration for resources such as shared CVS repositories or bug trackers
* Assisting package maintainers who bundle software for distributors

Quelques articles d’introduction à RDF :

• “An no-nonsense guide to Semantic Web specs for XML people (Part I)” par Stefano Mazzocchi, à l’origine de Cocoon
• Article de Linux Gazette à propos du web sémantique
• Une présentation parue sur XML.com

Présentation de Norman Walsh à propos de la future version de DocBook (5.0) qui sera formalisée uniquement en Relax NG.
Il y explique ce choix, montrant les avantages apportés par rapport à l’utilisation de DTD, et évoque également l’obtention de DTDs et de W3C Schemas à partir des schémas Relax NG.

Quelques liens intéressants fournis par l’article (présents dans le manuel, mais il est utile de les avoir regroupés) :

• Le modèle objet de PHP5
• Les nouvelles fonctions
• Les fonctionnalités (peu nombreuses) qui ne sont plus supportées
• Les nouvelles directives de fichier de configuration php.ini

The C# language is an object-oriented language that is aimed at enabling programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the Microsoft .NET platform. The goal of C# and the .NET platform is to shorten development time by freeing the developer from worrying about several low level plumbing issues such as memory management, type safety issues, building low level libraries, array boundschecking , etc. thus allowing developers to actually spend their time and energy working on their application and business logic instead. As a Java developer the previous sentence could be described as “a short description of the Java language and platform” if the words C# and the .NET platform were replaced with words Java and the Java platform.

What follows is an overview of similarities and differences between the language features and libraries of the C# and Java programming languages based on Dare Obasanjo’s experience using both languages. All code snippets below were tested on Microsoft’s .NET Framework Beta 2 for C# snippets and Java™ 2, Standard Edition (J2SE™) version 1.4 Beta 2 for the Java snippets.
