How many of you have always dreamt of creating an Auto Suggest Box. I bet everyone must have seen one of these somewhere or the other. if you use Gmail to send mails, you might recall that while typing the To address, Gmail shows a probable list of users from your address book. Nowadays most of the modern browsers also have this Auto Suggest control built in them, i.e when the user begins to type in a text box, a menu appears below the text offering completion suggestions.
Today I am going to teach you how to create an Auto Suggest Box using Prototype, Script.aculo.us. The script.aculo.us auto suggest box (autocompleter) replicates this control, but gives the developer control of the probable suggestions.

Its been 2 weeks since visionmasterdesigns.com was started and I am very glad with the response. Lot of people want to explore PHP/MySQL more and I think I`ll give in to that
. So Today lets design a Content Management System using PHP/MySQL.

Don`t get scared seeing the number of pages. This system has 5 files as listed above. Our CMS features add,edit and delete article records.
Introduction to CMS
CMS is an application through which you can add content without the need of uploading any files. You can create,edit,delete articles directly online. These articles are stored in the backend i.e database, in our case MySQL. Everytime user requests for a particular article, the php script retrieves the article and displays it to the user.
I`ll try to keep it as simple as possible.

So, you want to make an application using Ruby on Rails (RoR) huh ! Well, Lets try to make a simple “Article System”. Ruby on Rails is very easy at the same time a lil complicated. If you want to know more theory about Ruby on Rails, you can visit its official homepage http://www.rubyonrails.org. If you want a small summary of what it is, you can read my previous post Tutorial : Installing Ruby on Rails in Windows Vista/XP.
Like I said in my previous post, RoR uses the MVC Architecture. (M-Model, V-Views, C-Controller)

Greetings,
Most of you must have heard of “Ruby on Rails (RoR)”. It being touted as the next best thing (apart from php
). Well lemme give you a lowdown of what Ruby on Rails is…
I`ll try to explain the power of RoR in the simplest of words,
If PHP can do something after typing 75 lines of code, RoR can do the same thing in typing mearly 3 lines of code !!!!
Thats as simple is it gets ! But then again, there is a catch to it, RoR is equally complex. So Today, I`ll just give you the basic idea of what Ruby on Rails is, and how to set up a developer environment for RoR, So next time we can directly start creating applications. woohoo !
