What Is Computer Programming Anyway?

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 19:17:01 -0500

Computer programming in plain language, is giving instructionsto a computer to do something. Technically it is actually givinginstructions to the microprocessor - the brain of a computer. If the instructions are only for the microprocessor, why acomputer is so complicated with numerous types of hardwareaccessories? All the other hardware are to support the function of feedingthe instructions to the microprocessor, and conveying the resultfrom the microprocessor to its user - which can be a human oranother computer or hardware. Every time you want a computer to do something you have to givethe instructions. Luckily people are smart enough to figure outthat since we might want the computer to repeat the same processover and over again, we better store the instructions into apermanent storage - hard disk, CD, flash memory etc. The stored instructions are called COMPUTER PROGRAM or computersoftware and the act of arranging the instructions is calledCOMPUTER PROGRAMMING and...

The Three Principles Of HTML Code Optimization

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:31:43 -0500

Just like spring cleaning a house, the html code of your webpages should get periodic cleaning as well. Over time, aschanges and updates are made to a web page, the code can becomelittered with unnecessary clutter, slowing down page load timesand hurting the efficiency of your web page. Cluttered html canalso seriously impact your search engine ranking.This is especially true if you are using a WYSIWYG What You SeeIs What You Get web design package such as FrontPage orDreamweaver. These programs will speed up your web sitecreation, but they are not that efficient at writing clean htmlcode.We will be focusing this discussion on the actual html coding,ignoring other programming languages that may be used in a pagesuch as JavaScript. In the code examples I will be using and characters instead of correct html so that the code exampleswill display properly in this newsletter. Up until recently when coding a page in HTML we would be usingtags such as the font tag and ...

What is Ajax?

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:52:09 -0500

We were getting a number of querries from our clients and friends, asking about what AJAX is?With the development of Microsoft's Live, everyone is going crazy about AJAX. So, we at Xaprio Solutions thaught of publishing this small article about AJAX, which will help you guys understand it better.Like DHTML, LAMP, or SPA, Ajax is not a technology in itself, but a term that refers to the use of a group of technologies together. In fact, derivativecomposite technologies based substantially upon Ajax, such as AFLAX, are already appearing. The Term AJAX refers to, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.For a number of tasks, only small amounts of data need to be transferred between the client and the server, allowing a number of Ajax applications to perform almost as well as applications executed natively on the user's machine. This has the effect that pages need only be incrementally updated in the user's browser, rather than having to be entirely refreshed."Every user's action that normally...

Using External Coding To Improve Search Engine Placement

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:02:27 -0500

Do you have lots of JavaScript coding in the header section ofyour web pages? Do you re-list your CSS styles at the top ofevery page? Do you have JavaScript coding spread throughout yourweb pages?If you answered yes to any of these questions your site may bedriving away search engine spiders and losing search engineposition ranking.As you can imagine search engine spiders have a lot of pages toget through on the web when they are indexing sites. To improvetheir speed and efficiency search engines program their spidersto give up easily if they have problems with a page or if theyhave to wade through too much code to find the relevant content.This is one of the reasons why it is so important to put yourkeywords as close to the top of the page as possible. This waythe search bot will see the keywords before giving up and movingon to the next page.But what do you do if you have lots of JavaScript code or CSSstyles pushing your keywords down the page in your coding?

A Time-Saving Programming Tactic That Doesn't Work

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:07:14 -0500

Let's say that you have a software project that's under severetime pressure. Let's say that this deadline is so tight that youalready know it will involve many late nights of black coffeeand frenetic programming. What can you do to make this processgo faster? I honestly don't know, since the correct answer will depend onone's individual circumstances. However, I can tell you how manyprogrammers do respond under such circumstances. They decide tosave time by skipping over the software planning and designphase, and immediately start coding away.To an inexperienced or otherwise undisciplined programmer, thisseems to make sense. After all, the finished product is whattruly matters, right? The customer doesn't care aboutflowcharts, class diagrams or software architectures. All theywant is something that works.It seems to make sense, but it's a foolhardy approach. That waylies madness. We've all heard that an ounce of planning is wortha pound of cure, but in the world of sof...

Visual Learning

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:02:22 -0500

Visuals are a great tool to help with student comprehension aswell as make for a more exciting class. Unfortunately, not allclassrooms are equipped for this type of learning but mostschools will have a multi-media room that can be utilized on an"as needed" basis. In addition, the presentation could involvegraphics and images using less technology based methods.Multimedia is various combinations of text, graphics, sound,video and animation. It can be controlled, coordinated anddelivered on a computer screen and implies interactivity whichmeans the user is engaged in the presentation of information. Inaddition, multi-media can act as a more 'capable peer' as wellas be a tool for student-student and student-teacherinteraction. It can lead to more collaborative learningexperiences while allowing students to learn withmulti-media or from multi-media.The brain recognizes much more in the visual cortex where ourvisual memory is located. Comprehension can often only occuraft...

Just What is AJAX

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 02:31:16 -0500

There's a craze on the web at the moment, and that craze isnamed AJAX. What's that? Well, according to some people, it's atechnology that's going to redefine the web. Just how many timeshave you heard that statement.The classic web application model works like this: Most useractions in the interface trigger an HTTP request back to a webserver. The server does some processing -- retrieving data,crunching numbers, talking to various legacy systems -- and thenreturns an HTML page to the client.What Does AJAX Stand For?AJAX means 'Asynchronous Javascript and XML'. Adaptive Path cameup with the term in this essay:http:www.adaptivepath.compublicationsessaysarchives.php. However, the word is really a bit of a misnomer: AJAXdoesn't really rely on XML at all, but rather on a Javascriptfunction that happens to be named XMLHttpRequest.All About XMLHttpRequest.XMLHttpRequest was originally invented and implemented by aMicrosoft team who were working on a webmail appli...

Visual basic assignment help: - Best solution at Tutorsonnet

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:41:20 -0500

Visual Basic was designed to be easy to learn and use. The language not only allows programmers to create simple GUI applications, but can also develop complex applications. Programming in VB is a combination of visually arranging components or controls on a form, specifying attributes and actions of those components, and writing additional lines of code for more functionality. Since default attributes and actions are defined for the components, a simple program can be created without the programmer having to write many lines of code. Performance problems were experienced by earlier versions, but with faster computers and native code compilation this has become less of an issue. When the student gets some errors and doesn't understand the complexity of the program, at that instance Rate this Article:
