Programming, web development and Javascript

Follow the links in this article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript

JavaScript is an object-oriented[2] scripting language used to enable programmatic access to objects within both the client application and other applications. It is primarily used in the form of client-side JavaScript, implemented as an integrated component of the web browser, allowing the development of enhanced user interfaces and dynamic websites. JavaScript is a dialect of the ECMAScript standard and is characterized as a dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based language with first-class functions. JavaScript was influenced by many languages and was designed to look like Java, but to be easier for non-programmers to work with.

Wie lernt man schnell und gerade rechtzeitig

Es ist ziemlich klar, dass VTC innerhalb eines Tages Javascript lernen koeente. Mit bittorrent woere dass auch umsonst!

Java and Javascript (notes from for Dummies)

Javascript uses web client, interacts with HTML, browser plugins and Java applets
is object-based
is interpreted (by browser)- no need to be compiled
Javascript onload event handler triggers an action (e.g. play sound, lasunch pop-up, allows interaction with window, text field, image or embedded applet)
allows intelligence in pages, e.g. take a zip code and returns calculation of sales tax.

Examples of interactions possible with Javascript:(P16)

Load Content into multiple frames when user clicks button
Change screen images when user drags a mouse over certain are (Mouse rollover)
Display helpful information when user clicks or drags a mouse over certain page area
Inspect data that user types in and pops up helpful suggestions if they've made an invalid entry
Displays thank you message after user submits form


How much of Amazon's success is only possible due to Javascript?

Java lets you access web servers
refers to database
is compiled

Payment Processing and ASP.NET

http://www.dotnetcharge.com/?gclid=CKqPhuyqzZ0CFQjyDAodGDWnsw


Welcome to .netCHARGE - ASP.NET Credit Card Processing component :
The heart of any ecommerce site is the payment processing solution. .netCHARGE provides unprecedented support for over 50 payment processors and acts as a generic device driver for credit card processing. Switching between processors is quick and simple and in many cases requires changing only 1 line of script. .netCHARGE allows you to process transactions in real-time from your own web site. Since .netCHARGE communicates seamlessly and securely via SSL in the background, your site can maintain a consistent user experience and will not require visitors to be redirected to payment processors sites. NEW: Version 6.2 has been released August 2009. See a list of new features.
.netCHARGE draws upon over 10 years of direct experience offering commercial credit card processing components to clients throughout the world. Released in 2001, .netCHARGE was the first ecommerce component available for ASP.NET and was developed from the ground up to take advantage of the specific features of ASP.NET the .NET framework. Completed with managed code and developed in C# (yet easily used in both VB.NET and C#) .netCHARGE can easily scale to many thousands of transactions per hour. .netCHARGE supports ASP.NET 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0.

http://www.dotnetcharge.com/processors.htm

Multiple Processor and Gateway Support:
.netCHARGE supports all major payment processors / gateways providing extensive flexibility for selecting the service, pricing and features that best suits your needs. Best of all, should there be a need to change companies in the future your application does not need to be developed again. In most cases it is as simple as changing the processor / gateway selection to begin clearing your transactions with another company. New: Native processor support means that you can bypass gateway fees and work with a number of processors directly.
Native Processor Support (no gateway fees):

Native Nova Processor - Nova Payment Processor
TSYS Acquiring Solutions / Vital / VisaNet Native Processor
TSYS Acquiring Solutions / Vital Payment Processor
Paymentech Native Processor - Paymentech Payment Processor

What Does JavaScript Do?

What Does JavaScript Do?
By Jason Isbell
eHow Contributing Writer
JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that is embedded in web pages. JavaScript allows for dynamic content than static HTML.
1. As a client-side language, JavaScript is downloaded to the browser, and the browser interprets the code. This reduces load on the server and allows changes, using Ajax, as you use the web page.
Embedding
2. Because JavaScript is embedded in HTML, it needs a web browser to be able to use it. It cannot be compiled like some other languages, such as C or Basic.
Dynamic Content
3. JavaScript can have variables that make the content more dynamic. It can display the current date and time, rotate a picture or change the CSS style of a form to make it stand out when you make an error. Ajax is using JavaScript and CSS together in an HTML page to do dynamic changes.
Speed
4. Because JavaScript is compiled on your computer, the speed it runs depends on your computer. JavaScript has lower overhead than Java, C# or Flash, so for the functions JavaScript can do, such as rotating images, it is often better to use JavaScript and keep the demands of your computer minimal.
Limitations
5. While there are many reasons to use JavaScript, it also has limitations. Because it is client side, interactions with a server using JavaScript is difficult and in some cases not possible. It is normal practice to post a form to a PHP script for database and server-side routines. JavaScript can also be turned off by the client, rendering your script useless. The same can be said for Java, Flash and many other languages

What Is JavaScript Used For?

http://www.ehow.com/facts_4882979_what-javascript-used.html

What Is JavaScript Used For?
By Alexis Kindig eHow Contributing Writer

JavaScript is a scripting language used to create dynamic and interactive web content. It has a wide range of applications, including e-commerce (online shopping) and advertising networks such as Google AdSense.

Cookies
Perhaps the most common use of JavaScript is to set and read cookies, small files that contain data related to your use of a site in some way. They may be used to track things such as the last time you visited a website, which advertisements you saw or and items left in your shopping cart.

Advertising
JavaScript plays a prominent role in displaying advertisements on websites.
It controls which ads are displayed and may set a cookie on your computer indicating you have seen the advertisement.
JavaScript is also used to open windows for pop-up advertisements. Unless your browser restricts it, it may set the size and attributes of the opened window, too.

E-commerce
JavaScript is used extensively on many e-commerce sites. It plays a part in such tasks as adding items to your shopping cart, processing forms and submitting orders to be shipped. It can also be used to display dynamic content to users while shopping, such as related items and the cost of shipping.

Alerts
JavaScript is also used to display simple alerts to users. For instance, if you fill out a form and type in an invalid address or phone number, an alert will appear informing you of the mistake when you click the "Submit" button.

Security
JavaScript is used for security. Some login systems require you to type your password using a virtual, on-screen keyboard that uses JavaScript to accept your input.

Corpus Linguistics - secret tool in the toolbox?

Aston Corpus Summer School:
http://acorn.aston.ac.uk/SummerSchool.html
We will be holding the first Aston Corpus Summer School from 27 – 31 July 2009. The summer school will involve a number of lectures and hands-on sessions, and participants will have the opportunity to work with leading researchers, as well as to meet other students.

Here are some of the topics that will be covered during the week.

Introduction to corpora
Stylistics
Using Wordsmith Tools
Spoken corpora
Learner corpora
Lexicography
Corpora in second language teaching/learning

Report:

First Aston Corpus Summer School
The First Aston Corpus Summer School took place from July 27th to 31st 2009, on the 10th floor of the North Wing of the Main Building, with social events usually starting in the Sacks of Potatoes, and a Dinner at the Conference Centre.

Eleven leading corpus specialists [(Ramesh Krishnamurthy (Aston); Michaela Mahlberg (Liverpool); Eric Atwell (Leeds); Hilary Nesi (Coventry); Paul Rayson (Lancaster); Michael Barlow (Auckland); Adam Kilgarriff (LexiCom; LexMasterClass); Michael Rundell (Macmillan; LexMasterClass); Anne Wichmann (Central Lancashire); Kevin Watson (Lancaster); Suzanne Kemmer (Rice, Texas)] gave talks and conducted practical exercises involving a wide range of corpus creation and analysis programmes.

Thirty one participants attended from the UK (Aston, Birmingham, Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sheffield, Swansea, Warwick, Wolverhampton), Europe (Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland) and Overseas (Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, New Zealand).

The feedback from the tutors was very postive - and we have been asked to extend the summer school to two weeks next year:
Iincredibly useful; there isn’t anything else like it, and it meets a big need
I greatly enjoyed my visit on all fronts - a nice group and wonderful hospitality
What an impressive operation you have there! I hope you will do it again next year!

Participants also spoke highly of the event:

Really helpful; I benefited a lot
I made many friends sharing similar research interests
A great variety of topics; good lectures by great lecturers
Very nice, relaxed atmosphere - truly enlightening; a great event from start to finish
For anyone interested in Corpus I would say this is a must; surpassed my expectations; inspiring atmosphere).

We would like to thank all the staff at Aston (support staff, computing, catering, etc) who helped to make this such a successful inaugural summer school!

What is Javascript and what can it do?

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question369.htm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t3ZysHg3Cc

(silent, but good)


JavaScript is what is called a Client-side Scripting Language. That means that it is a computer programming language that runs inside an Internet browser (a browser is also known as a Web client because it connects to a Web server to download pages).

The way JavaScript works is interesting. Inside a normal Web page you place some JavaScript code (See How Web Pages Work for details on Web pages). When the browser loads the page, the browser has a built-in interpreter that reads the JavaScript code it finds in the page and runs it.

Web page designers use JavaScript in many different ways. One of the most common is to do field validation in a form. Many Web sites gather information from users in online forms, and JavaScript can help validate entries. For example, the programmer might validate that a person's age entered into a form falls between 1 and 120.

Another way that web page designers use JavaScript is to create calculators. Here are several examples:

RPN calculator
MegaConverter - a big collection of calculators
Personal Finance calculators
To give you an example of an extremely simple JavaScript calculator, the HTML below shows you how to create a Fahrenheit to Celsius converter using JavaScript:

Making Theories

See Swanson and Holton p.113:-

Theory Development for HRD

http://www.amazon.com/Theory-Building-Robert-Dubin/ (published 1978, therefore no reviews)
 this led to an article

Toward a General Research Process for Using Dubin's Theory Building Model

Elwood F. Holton, EdD, MBA Louisiana State University
Janis S. Lowe, EdD, MBA
Louisiana Department of Labor
Dubin developed a widely used methodology for theory building, which describes the components of the theory building process. Unfortunately, he does not define a research process for implementing his theory building model. This article proposes a seven-step general research process for implementing Dubin's theory building model. An example of a theory building process is used to explicate a research process that will aid new theorists and reviewers of theory in conceptualizing a rigorous and systematic process to implement Dubin's model.

Key Words: theory • building
