With the new available JavaScript library available, JavaScript programming will get even more easy. The new library I am talking about is jLinq - a JavaScript Query Language.

jLinq is a Javascript library that lets you write queries against arrays of javascript objects.

jLinq is completely extensible so you can write your add-ins and they will work with the rest of the framework without any additional programming!

 Other JavaScript library and framework includes: jQuery, Mootools, Prototype, Dojo, script.aculo.us, YUI among others.

Last saturday, June 20, I went to Google and Globe developer workshop held at UP TechnoHub Diliman, QC. I've already attended some Globe events like when they launch their API to the public developers, MSDN sessions co-hosted by Globe, etc. The main purpose of the event is to showcase to Filipino developers the Globe API (Location Based, SMS, Voice) plus the Google's vast APIs. They wanted to harvest several applications from the public developers and commercialized them when they found they've potential to get revenues.

 Patrick Chanezon of Google presented some of available APIs from Google ( code.google.com ). 

 Greg and Sherwin of Globe showcased their APIs, e.i. Sending SMS to add an entry to Google calendar and a Facebook application(application name here, I didn't search yet :P ) which finds all of your Globe friends as they where currently located.

In a few weeks or so, I am sure there will plenty of new application that will be released in the Philippines. :D 

What is NArrange?

NArrange is a stand-alone, configurable .NET code beautification tool that automatically organizes code members and elements within .NET classes. It allows developers to easily sort class contents according to their style and layout conventions. NArrange works by parsing source code files into a document object model, arranging the elements then rewriting the arranged source code.

NArrange helps reduce the amount of time developers spend arranging members within source code files and when used as part of check-in procedures can also help reduce source code repository conflicts. With NArrange, developers don't need to worry about where they place a new member definition in a class, they can just type away and run NArrange prior to compilation. After formatting, the new member will be automatically moved to the appropriate location in the source file. NArrange is not only a great time saver, but it also helps enforce coding style standards across a team when a common configuration file is used.

Instead of setting up a Team Foundation Server to integrate with our VSTS 2008, we decided to use Visual SourceSafe 2005 since the project is just a short term. But after  installing Visual SourceSafe 2005, its option can't be found in VS.
