jQuery for UI Engineers


If you don't know what jQuery is:
jQuery is a lightweight JavaScript library that emphasizes interaction between JavaScript and HTML - Wikipedia


For me, it is another JavaScript library that you don't want to miss. It is a single JavaScript file, containing all the common DOM, Event, Effects, and Ajax functions. Just add this the <head></head> tag:




Not only that, you can add in your own methods and functionality in a mechanism called plugin and put it just below the jQuery.js like this:





The community behind it is quite a number. This is evidently seen in the plugin submitted by the user in the plugin section. It cover the most AJAX functionality that you can think off. With all these, I'm certain that it can help your UI design alot. Maybe I shall implement it in my future Blogger Template design.

Google Chrome - A new browser


Google launch their own internet browser called Chrome yesterday to join the already crowded browser market. At first I thought, don't we have too much browser already? What's the catch? Isn't it obvious. To dominate the internet browser world or at least to lessen the Microsoft's Internet Explorer domination in browser market share. But what about Firefox? Since the Chrome project already started, I won't be surprise if Google acquire Firefox later on. So what are the juice inside the Chrome browser?

Normally I won't read the technical spec sheet too much, but the Google Chrome team has come out with a different approach. Instead of pages of boring technical writing, they release a comic sheet to tell in depth what is Chrome browser is all about.
