Can you do this using Javascript ?!

Ok, I was googling for some information when I stumbled upon something called as “Chrome Experiments“. I don`t know whether most of you must have seen this site, but it is unbelievable that most of the experiments posted here have been created using javascript !

One of my favourites here is the Depth of Field example. Screenies below

This just shows how the javascript engines have evolved over the years. Earlier flash used to be every developer/designers dream to create super interactive websites, it is still great for creating RIAs but nowadays Javascript has evolved soo much, it can do most of the stuff which Flash could do.

This site is a real inspiration to those who want to learn more about javascript. Enjoy

finally-my-exams-are-over

Finally My Exams are Over !

After a month, finally my exams have ended. I had 4 papers, and frankly, they all didn`t go that great. My last exam Data Warehouse and Mining sucked the most ! :@ Anyways, so finally I am a Bacholer of Engineering :) – woohoo !

Exams OverI got 6 months left before I join a company to work (don`t want to though), till then I am planning to take Vision Master Designs to bigger heights ! The company has a steady client base and hopefully, if I complete my Google Summer of Code Challenge successfully, it`ll give the company a big boost. If this happens, VMD will be a full time Web Consultant/Design/Developing Company :) !

So whats in it for you guys ? A lot of articles ! I have already began work on “Theme Scratchpad” for Wordpress. Its a theme builder. I am currently engaged in developing a UI. It is powered by jQuery :) . I`ll be writing my experiences along with tutorials about jQuery, ofcourse I am learning from the best, Javascript Almighty Mr. Andrew Ozz who was the lead Developer for the entire Administration Interface you see in Wordpress.

Along with “Theme Scratchpad”, MyADManager 1.0 is coming. Its got better host features and will be releasing soon.

Stay tuned…

BTW thanks to discoveryeducation.com and tufts.edu for the images :)

which-versioning-tools-to-use-for-your-projectapplication-svn-or-git

Which versioning tools to use for your project/application ? SVN or GIT

Imagine…you are working on a software project, there are loads of files and you are constantly making changes to it. Suppose, because of some modifiction the program stops responding or not working the way it should and its almost impossible for you to find the “needle” (error) from the haystack, what would you do ?!

Well I had numerous experiences such as this. After a lot of research I found out about CVS and SVN, GIT. These are methods to keep a version of your software from the time it is concieved, monitering every small change and till the time is done. The best part, if anything goes wrong, you can always revert back to the previous version.

This post is a small compilation of different versioning systems. I won`t be talking about CVS since it is kinda outdated and in the open-source community GIT or SVN is preferred.

tutorial-installing-apache-2-2-11-php-5-2-9-mysql-5-1-34-phpmyadmin-3-1-4-in-windows-vistaxp

Tutorial : Installing Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.9, MySQL 5.1.34 & PhpMyAdmin 3.1.4 in Windows Vista/XP

Revised Version. v3.1

This tutorial will help you set up Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.9, Mysql 5.1.34 and PhpMyAdmin 3. It is tried and tested successfully on a Windows Vista powered System.

Known Issues :

  • Sometimes Windows won`t let you edit httpd.conf file. For that you have to disable UAC (User Account Control) from Control Panel -> Users and stop Apache from running in the task bar.

Update : from Yves
I got an Apache crash with PHP 5.2.9 – 2 when executing phpMyAdmin or Wordpress on my dev computer running Win XP SP2…
The solution for me was to install PHP 5.3 (5.3.0RC3-dev)…
If it can help comebody ;-)

Not everyone would spend money online to buy webspace just so that they can test out how their latest application works, Well… Welcome to Vision Master Designs Blog. This tutorial will teach you to set up a developer environment for PHP/MySQL in your computer in no time.
