Most of us who are just starting in Javascript and more specifically working with the DOM, can probably write some simple scripts using event handlers. However, there is a more memory efficient method that someone relatively new to Javascript (heck, even some people who have been doing this awhile) might not be aware of - event delegation. Lucky for us, event delegation is not overly complex, and the jump from using event handlers to using event delegation can be made relatively easily. MORE
One really common situation for web developers to run into is how to properly clear their floats. There are numerous approaches that have been discussed and used, but only recently have I come across a method that I believe is superior to the rest of the ones I had used up to now. In this post, we will first take a look at the problem caused by floats, and then we will look at some of the ways of fixing that problem. MORE
Congratulations! You have managed to stumble across my first attempt at having a personal site. While the site is admittedly a bit short on content right now, my goal is for this to eventually turn into a fairly interesting place to visit on a regular basis. Be patient, Rome as they say, was not built in a day. What can you expect…well, there will be many conversations about what I have learned or come across in the world of web development. MORE
CSS can be a tricky little fellow. It’s easy to learn, but difficult to master. There are, after all, 122 CSS Level 2 Properties. Add to that pseudo-classes, selectors, inheritance, and specificity, and you have yourselves quite a bit of information to try and remember. Here are a few things that have made CSS development a little smoother for me, and hopefully they can do the same for you. Know the common bugs. Different browsers will handle CSS differently. MORE

Let me first tell you the why and then I will explain the what. By using classes in Javascript, you will notice a couple immediate benefits: Custom classes make your code more reusable. If many of your applications use a similar functionality, you can define a class to help and facilitate that functionality. Now you can just use your new class in multiple projects to provide the common functionality. For example, let’s say you create a custom accordion effect. MORE

A lot of people will tell you not to try and reinvent the wheel. If a script has been written, or a styling effect developed that accomplishes what you want, why spend time trying to create the effect yourself? I can see their point, and in some situations, I agree. If you are on a tight deadline for a project, you often don’t have time to develop that functionality from scratch, and it therefore makes more sense to adapt the structure already developed by someone else.

Harper Business, 2007. Notice board at Ericsson, Stockholm (pic by DeirdreS ). Many of us have worked with them: the engineering jerk who is brilliant at what they do, but treats others like trash. Some companies have a policy not to hire them (eg, Netflix's "[No Brilliant Jerks]", which was one of the many reasons I joined the company).

Look for another Capital Markets paper in July 2007. Risk management, particularly in IT, is still a nascent discipline. Perhaps this is because there are an overwhelming number of cultural norms that equate “risk management” to “defeatism.” To wit: “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” is intuitively appealing, offering a forward-looking focus without the encumbrance of consideration for that which might go wrong.

The global economy is awash in cash. We’ve experienced unprecedented profitability growth for the past 16+ quarters, the cost of capital is low, investment risk is more easily distributed, and companies find themselves with strong cash balances. Increasingly, though, we're seeing companies being taken private and their cash taken out by new ownership, or companies buying back their own stock. This has implications for IT, as it competes for this same investment dollar on two fronts. MORE

Harper Business, 2007. Notice board at Ericsson, Stockholm (pic by DeirdreS ). Many of us have worked with them: the engineering jerk who is brilliant at what they do, but treats others like trash.

My tool does this using /proc/PID/clear_refs and the Referenced value from /proc/PID/smaps, which were added in 2007 by David Rientjes (thanks). The Working Set Size (WSS) is how much memory an application needs to keep working. Your app may have populated 100 Gbytes of main memory, but only uses 50 Mbytes each second to do its job. That's the working set size. It is used for capacity planning and scalability analysis. You may never have seen WSS measured by any tool (I haven't either).

Let’s say you have a calendar of events, and all you want to retrieve all the events that occurred between 2005 and 2007. Being the smart developers we are, we wrapped all the event years in a span with a class of year, like so: 2007. Getting all the year spans where the value is between 2005 and 2007 is easy. ’ operators versus the ‘ ’ operators because we want to also return values in the years 2005 and 2007.
