How to Design a large Ajax Application

Adam Howitt’s has just pubblished a paper on how to design and plan large applications. I find it particularly interesting that he uses a 2×2 Matrix to decide what kind of remoting is used: (cachable,unique)x(data,render).
In the guide which you can download from the link below I’ll cover the process I have developed in the course of implementing two AJAX applications as a developer for Duo Consulting in Chicago. This approach has made it easier for me to work with the design team, produce estimates for this type of project and communicate what is involved each step of the way to the project managers for scheduling purposes.

Download the PDF guide (105kb)

Definitely a must for every serious Ajax Developer.

dp.SyntaxHighlighter source code syntax highlighting

Yahoo! UI uses a really nice syntax highlighting script that is freely available: dp.SyntaxHighlighter:
The script is meant to help a developer to post code snippets online with ease and without having to worry about applying format. People who use blogs like MovableType, .Text (dotText), dasBlog and any other system can easily add code to their posts.
Take a look at its features.

A new kind of spam

Today I noticed that somebody linked to my article on how to build an RSS Readers. Usually this is nice and I really appreciate it. What’s bothering me is that the article was linked after only 3 minutes I had it online, barely the time to go and take a look at the tutorial I was linking to… Being interested in who’s linking me I went to give it a try and
take a look at the origin of this trackback and guess what: it’s spam. By now I had 5 trackbacks that are clearly fake!
The next question is “why would anybody try to link to me that badly?”.
Trying to figure that out I went over to Technorati – Tag “Tutorial”, and guess what: I’m not the only one being tracked…
Now this is weird? It’s a bot, that’s easy to figure out, since the comment they leave is always the same:
Nice …
I have no prove but being all subdomains of the some “.info”-Domains I try a wild guess: it’s someone who bought massive amounts of domains and wants to raise the value of them by randomly linking to posts and being backlinked. I hate spam…
