Thu, 07 Dec 2006 12:08:56 -0500

Hi team,

I think that we have to post the powerpoint and prototype3's url before the class next week. Maybe on Tuesday.

As the professor said, we should post them in Learning Remix early.

Yahoo group for Javascript/ AJAX developer

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:28:11 -0500

I just found that there is a yahoo group that 's very useful for AJAX developer.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/JavaScript_Official/

There are a lot of people joining the group and I think we can seek for help from that website.

The prototype3 has been modified for the problems below

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:18:20 -0500

Raji,

I has been fixed the problems you listed below.

The map scrolls up and closes when the user clicks on the icon for viewing the rating of any university

Removed the IP address in the view review page

Changes in the instructons for the Apartment panel

Other grammar changes

Removed the Show all ( all universities in the four state area) item from the drop down menu

I hope that I can fix all of the problems. However, due to timely manner, I am not sure if it's posible to fix some problems.

Yahoo Design Pattern Library

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 10:31:45 -0500

I found the pattern that may be useful to develop the Ajax application.

A pattern describes an optimal solution to a common problem within a specific context.

From the IAWiki:

Patterns are optimal solutions to common problems. As common problems are tossed around a community and are resolved, common solutions often spontaneously emerge. Eventually, the best of these rise above the din and self-identify and become refined until they reach the status of a Design Pattern.

Each pattern has four primary components:

a title

a problem

a context

a solution

The example below is from http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/

Expand Transition

Fade In Transition

Self Healing Transition

Online PayPal Payments with PHP and Oracle

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 10:20:39 -0500

I just found that we can interact with PayPal by using the PHP. If you are interested, take a look the URL below

http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/oracle_php_cookbook/bollweg-paypal.html

This document is provided by Oracle. I think it's very interesting and will become valuable. Using this kind of thing will allow us to get into e-commerce businesses really.

EducationChUser testing on the Firefox 1.5&2.0 IE6.0&7.0

Sun, 26 Nov 2006 13:17:40 -0500

Hi Team,

I have had a chance to test the EducationChUser on Firefox 1.5 2.0 and IE 6.0 7.0.
We got a very good result. The EducationChUser works very well in all of them.

I think our last prototype is now free of any major problems.

See you,
Nattakorn

Re: raji about EducationChUser: Prototype III responsibilities

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:42:33 -0500

I think that great; however, I think that we should fix the cross browser problems and get the last prototype done by Nov 29th and get some comments from users. Then the last week we can prepare for the presentation.

Does anyone know how to take the data from XML containing the namespace??

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:27:50 -0500

I tried to study how to take something from the XML format that contain the namespace like EVDB Atom.

Some parts look like this.

530 S State St

Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103, United States

I have no clue how to take the data from the tag .

I seem to be using namespace "gd".

I would be appreciate if you guys can help me out.

Compare between RSS and Atom

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:23:37 -0500

This is the website to explain precisely how different between the RSS and ATOM.

RSS 2.0	Atom 1.0	Comments
`rss`	-	Vestigial in RSS
`channel`	`feed`
`title`	`title`
`link`	`link`	Atom defines an extensible family of `rel` values
`description`	`subtitle`
`language`	-	Atom uses standard `xml:lang` attribute
`copyright`	`rights`
`webMaster`	-
`managingEditor`	`author` or `contributor`
`pubDate`	`published` (in entry)	Atom has no feed-level equivalent
`lastBuildDate` (in channel)	`updated`	RSS has no item-level equivalent
`category`	`category`
`generator`	`generator`
`docs`	-
`cloud`	-
`ttl`	-	is problematic, prefer HTTP 1.1 cache control
`image`	`logo`	Atom recommends 2:1 aspect ratio
-	`icon`	As in `favicon.ico`
`rating`	-
`textInput`	-
`skipHours`	-
`skipDays`	-
`item`	`entry`
`author`	`author`
-	`contributor`
`description`	`summary` and/or `content`	depending on whether full content is provided
`comments`	-
`enclosure`	-	`rel="enclosure"` on in Atom
`guid`	`id`
`source`	-	`rel="via"` on in Atom
-	`source`	Container for feed-level metadata to support aggregation

Another Ajax library

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:12:32 -0500

I have just found the AJAX library after I went through thelink that ravi gave us.

http://tool-man.org/examples/sorting.html

I think this library is very nice and I wil try to use it in our project. It support cross-browser working.

So we won't have any issue about cross browser.

Apartment information from craigslist

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 18:59:39 -0500

Hi team,

I think we are not able to take the information more than we can do now due to the limitation of the service provided by craigslist.

I think the Massup guy who develop the hosuing mashup should properly get permission from Craiglist to take some information more than the RSS feed. I believe that if we work with the craigslist team, we will definitely be able to do something like the housing mashup. However, due to time constraint and how far we have succeed for the project, I think what we did should be enough. SO we just fix the cross browser issue and apply some change to our project.

Thanks,

Nattakorn

Review on concerquest prototype2

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 00:52:40 -0500

Hello Concerquest Team,

This is a very good progress compare to the interation1. I did not see any problem regarding the cross browser. Good job!!!

However, I think that there is a big space on the right of your map. I agree with Raji that you may find some information relating to your project to put in the space or rearrange your page to make it look better.

Also when I tried to search like the picture below. The event in Texas was shown on the webpage.

Again Good job!!

Review on the Webfinancial: Prototype 2

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 22:11:04 -0500

Hi Webfinancial Team,

You dont have any problem about the Cross Browser. Good Job for this iteration. I am very tired to get rid of the cross browser problems.

I saw some point that you may want consider. I picked the EMC corp and the result is below

Income Statement
Net Income	550644000
Balance Sheet
Current Assets	6857860000
Total Assets	16345507000
Current Liabilities	3090397000
Total Liabilities
Stockholders Equity	12148055000

Leverage Ratios
Debt to Equity ratio	-
Total Debt ratio	-
Liquidity Ratios
Current Ratio	2.219087062277112
Quick Ratio	-
Cash Ratio	-
Profitability Ratios
Operating profit margin	-

I think you have the Total Assets and Total Equity so that you can calculate the Total Liability . This will allow you to calculate few more ratio and fulfill some information.

Thank you,

Nattakorn

Review on kayakers's prototype2

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 22:00:43 -0500

Hi Kayakers,

I seem like you have solved the problem due to cross domain issue. Great job for this iteration. I really like the idea to find the information about the hotels from each area.

However, I thik it would be better if you have the fields (city, state,date and ..) to seach the hotels after you get the result also. It would be nicer if the users don't have to reload the page to find the hotels again w/ new criteria.

Thank you,

Nattakorn
