If you are interested in learning how to program (not hack) in Javascript, then I would recommend you watch the following videos.  They are GREAT resources! I would recommend taking Javascript seriously as a language before diving into any framework or library (DOJO, JQuery, YUI, etc…)

General Javascript

Understanding the DOM

Advanced Javascript

I wanted a single column wordpress theme that worked with wordpress 3.0… So I made one.  I am still trying to resolve a few IE css issues (grrr) and I need to clean up the code, but the theme works, looks nice, and is now available for public consumption.  If you run into any trouble, please let me know.  I will be supporting this theme and trying to resolve all of its issues.

CodeCoalition (no longer in existence) was a one-man-software house specializing in Java development for the web and middleware systems.

Description:

Usage:

Zend InfoCard Interfaces is automatically made available in the PHP include path.

You may check Zend InfoCard Interfaces availability using the WP_ZEND_INFOCARD_INTERFACES constant:

function check_for_zend_infocard_interfaces() {
  // if the Zend InfoCard Interfaces plugin is successfully loaded this constant is set to true
  if (defined('WP_ZEND_INFOCARD_INTERFACES') && constant('WP_ZEND_INFOCARD_INTERFACES')) {
    return true;
  }
  // you can also check if the Zend InfoCard Interfaces are available on the system
  $paths = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR, get_include_path());
  foreach ($paths as $path) {
    if (file_exists("$path/Zend/Loader.php")) {
      define('WP_ZEND_INFOCARD_INTERFACES', true);
      return true;
    }
  }
  // nothing found, you may advice the user to install the Zend InfoCard Interfaces plugin
  define('WP_ZEND_INFOCARD_INTERFACES', false);
}

add_action('init', 'check_for_zend_infocard_interfaces');

A few years back I needed a way to access an HTML table as a matrix (think x,y) so I created this Javascript library for creating and manipulating “MatrixTables”.  I have found this little library to be very useful on a number of occasions, so I thought I would share it.  Fortunately, it is well documented, and easy to use (at least I think so!).

Inside the ZIP you will find “matrixtable.js”, “matrixtable.css” (include both in any website that will use MatrixTables), and “index.html” (which contains a usage example.)

nadabid.com using MatrixTable to dynamically display the ebay search results

– API Documentation –

Nadabid provides a convenient and simple mechanism for finding the best deals on ebay without having to spend hours searching for them. By limiting the ebay auction search results to those goods which no one has yet bid on, Nadabid maximizes your chance of finding the very best deals.

http://nil.bz is a link shortening service that works in a similar manner to “bit.ly” and “tinyurl.com”
