Somehow I managed to complete the project and delivered it. So make sure you first look at it and then write your own or buy from others.
But on Yahoo developers, you can find loads of free JavaScript stuff. There are some companies like infragistics where you can buy controls. As they were paying well enough, I thought I will buy controls from another company. Each UI control used to take hell lot of time for me as I was a beginner. I learned JavaScript and started coding for my client.
Here you won’t find simple Hello World Stuff.Īgain back to my problem. There are some 4 videos by Douglas Crockford - “The JavaScript Programming Language”. If anyone is interested in knowing more about JavaScipt, here is the link:
At that time, I found that on Yahoo developers site, Douglas Crockford was doing a hell lot of things on JavaScript and I think he is a real genius. I really got shocked when I got to know that we have inheritance, classes, etc.
I took complete 30 days to learn about JavaScript. I didn't find any good article on the internet about JavaScript which told anything about namespaces. I asked the client to give me some time so that I can learn about JavaScript. After getting yelled at from my client, I started looking for more information on the internet.
You can just code using HTML and JavaScript and there is no need to worry about deploying on client’s machine. So JavaScript is the most widely deployed application in the internet. Įvery machine Windows, Mac, Linux has a web browser in it? And every web browser has JavaScript in it. If you want to know more, here are the links… They say Javascript is the World’s Most Misunderstood Programming Language. But just remember one thing that Javascript and Java are totally different. The person who was developing JavaScript at netscape got inspired by Java so he used few tags from Java and then named it LiveScript but when they wanted to collaborate with Sun Microsystems, then they named it as JavaScript. But you can’t believe JavaScript is the most widely deployed application on the Internet!!! Can’t believe me? I will tell you how…īefore that, please understand that JavaScript is nowhere related to Java language. After that, I never bothered to learn more on JavaScript. This used to show me Hello World when I used to open it in the browser. I always thought that very few people use JavaScript and never wanted to learn it because one of my college seniors said JavaScript is very simple language and he showed me the following program in JavaScript. From before, I always thought that JavaScript is a very simple language but I was 100% wrong. They very well knew JavaScript and I never knew that there was anything called namespace in JavaScript! I started searching on the internet but couldn’t find any related information on JavaScript. When we had a small demo with the client, he was very upset and said “Is this a way to write JavaScript code? What code have you written? Where are the namespaces?” They started shouting at me. Then I took the project and started working on it. The client need was to develop a website for some product which will have tree control, menu item, UI elements and business logic involved in it, etc. In that way, you all will understand it very clearly. I will answer these questions with a case study.
Please do leave comments on the post.īefore beginning to know more on Silverlight, first we should know:īefore I begin with any new language, I always want to know what language it is? How to use it? And what is the architecture behind it? Please feel free to write to me at for any suggestions or questions. After a few posts, I will be writing one application which will help us to understand Silverlight starting from Login, WCF, Data Binding, Prism, ADO.NET Entity framework, which will give us a complete flow and help us to understand Silverlight. The second post will include more on the technical side of Silverlight. I will try to write a post daily but my first post will concentrate on “What made me move to Silverlight?”. What made me really invest time in learning Silverlight? Hope this will be helpful for beginners who want to know about "Why Silverlight?" This article explains about why Silverlight is needed, why we should move to Silverlight and it also explains about the relationship between Web Server, Web Browser and Silverlight.
