Into the world of jQuery..

Oct 5th

Posted by Jose Philip Raja in Computer World

As you must have noted by now am a freelance web-developer. Just recently I started learning JavaScript with jQuery. Yeah I know, as always too late to get into these stuff..

Well jQuery features made my eyes open! Wow! It is so simple yet powerful, you could edit the DOM – Document Object Model ‘anytime’ after the loading so easily. and the effects, widgets, themes, all of it makes Web Development a child’s play! So I started playing with it too. I’m currently renewing my personal website to this ‘Feature-Rich’ environment.

I wanted my website to be creative yet simple. I didn’t wanted it to be a bloggy-style one. So I started checking out for my other options, suddenly I got this idea, why not Vista? I am using one. Why can’t I give my site a ‘Vista Compatible’ mode? So I started working with the ‘Vista Project’. I named it ’WowVista’ please don’t ask me why I can’t answer that, “Trade Secret” ;P

I hope it gives you a Vista look and feel. Enjoy!

The battle – B2Evolution vs WordPress

Jul 22nd

Posted by Mr.JOSE™ in Internet

Lets start with another history. I was using blogger.com for about 10 months then I switched to my own blog at my free server. I must say that I was am happy with it. Yeah.. coming to the point, as I said I first used blogger (repeat!) in which I just used a theme and some plugins. But when I come to know about blog scripts (so late!) which can be installed on any server with the support of PHP & MySQL I thought I should try it. So I started searcing for free blog scripts.. there are lot of them.. WordPress (heard them every where) & B2Evolution were best among them (I think so?). I chose WordPress because I saw WordPres, WordPress, WordPress… everywhere! So downloaded and installed it successfully on my test folder. Installation was quick, I never thought it would be so simple. You just have to enter database details and blog name and stuff. Thats it! you are taken to your administrative dashboard. Somehow I couldnt accept it, I expected more! (may be due to those sites which praise too much of wordpress stuff). I didn’t tried installing any plugin though (thats where I got wrong!). But I thought I should try B2Evolution before getting involved in WordPress -what if I liked it more than this?
