Its a Dynamic(javascript) world





I thought we are living in a world which looked like this
||(or) mayb this http://www.ihatejavascript.com/.. LOL


being a web developer i was working with javascript and also at the same time i always preferred to work with something else... Silverlight, Flash mayb.. till recently.. i actually saw what JAVASCRIPT is || has become in the time i worked on ASP.Net MVC.


Javascript evolved from a dynamic sort of functional language that was differently implemented by nearly every browser(and yes that was for you IE6) and every one hated him and i thought it still is that ulgy thing. till i just stumbled upon THIS


This is an old video.. someone was just trying to bring the Javascript to server side. so now same developer /*Who a Javascript developer?*/ can work on both the sides.. client as well as web. and thought that things like these shouldn't be allowed on internet maybe because its a hour long video and now has around 233,492 views just consider the amount ot developer hours wasted here.
but now with the advancement to HTML5 javascript now can have worker threads(working in multiple threads!!) surely a nice thing making use of multiple cores of processors we have.. then i just searched around a little more and i found out that the world belongs to this language.. and im saying this because now

  • As the popularity of javascript has grown data transfer and serializing mechanism have surely shifted from XML to JSON.
  • with the advancement to HTML and JAVASCRIPT more and more client side coding is being done in Javascript and proof of that is death of FLASH.
  • javascript now supports workers (//multithreading!!) and yes thats a thing that was needed.
  • Windows 8 will support programming windows application in HTML and Javascript. so Javascript will actually be used to program actual desktop based applications.
  • Phone aplications /*for godz sake*/ are now being developed in Javascript thanks to Phone Gap. this also means that as a developer you develop once using the language you know and it will work across different phone platforms..WOW. 
          Also there is a trend now days to deliver sort of installed app experience in websites and there leader is Sencha Touch and Ext JS. i love both but yes documentation and tutorials needs to be a lot better. Looking at these two platforms was also good because they tend to make working in javascript a lot easier by trying to make it object oriented. There are other platforms also that work on MVC and are Good like Backbone.js and a free alternative to Extjs, DOJO.. go give them a try.
  • Sockets - Yes ladies and gentlemen. Why go for web based communication model(Request and Response). When you are developing desktop applicatons just Use SOCKETS.
  • Databases-NOSql movement is growing and these databases basically are more performance oriented and less relational.So you cannot make relations in data like we have been doing in Sql and while going through one of the demo videos of MongoDB i found out that it Uses JSON to store data!! So Javascript is also present in databases. Also these databases can transfer data over simple rest based model.. so now a developer can entirely code an application with Javascript without even having a server side thing(what is it anyways?)..

After going all through this i couldnt think of a language which is more powerful than this giant.. a Language that allows

  1. desktop applications //windows will support it
  2. phone applications //nearly all major platforms
  3. Access to databases
  4. A light weight data transfer and storage mechanism.
  5. Server side Applications //for web based applications
  6. Client side Applications //for web based applications.

Last but not the least what about writing javascript code? it is surely a little painful and lack of good IDE's for Javascript is a known thing and here things like CoffeeScript comes to rescue.
Idea of coding in a language whos output is a code in another language can completely blow out anyone but still it is present and if we believe what we hear it is here to stay. || or who knows one day CoffeeScript might take the place of Javascript completely. :)

Data manipulation in azure development storage by using web services – workaround

While developing the Azure project this was the biggest problem I came across and being just a newcomer in this area I could not solve it. So I figured a way around that worked perfectly well and then I used it to finally make a working project. Nearly all the solutions I came across in the different portals were about the same problem without the development storage anywhere in question but for the people who first need to make a working solution in the development storage using anything like the VS2010 there was no help nowhere. The problem was that while accessing data which was stored in a blob in cloud storage through a web service by a Silverlight client. It gives an impression to the storage of the cloud that this is being done by cross site scripting (this is what I got from all the different sources I read) and because this was not allowed the cloud project (webrole in my case) was blocking the request and was returning nothing in return. So this solution that I figured out i...

ParameterLess construct

When I was creating my first cloud app that’s used Microsoft Azure for storage and computation purposes I came across a strange problem which wasn’t related to the Azure itself but was more related to the c# and the .net framework. When I was writing the code I made a Class which had no parameter less construct. Objects of this class were then used in the program. Because this class was derived from Ienumerator I could actually user Foreach() on the objects of this class but to my surprise the code shown below was showing error at the highlighted line. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure; namespace WebRole1 { public class mspDataServiceContext : TableServiceContext { public mspDataServiceContext(string baseAddress, StorageCredentials credentials) : base(baseAddress, credentials) { } static int c; public IQueryable<msp> msps { get { retur...
