What annoys me is just when teenagers use the GUI to make websites and think it makes them good web developers.

What about the “Permalink structure updated. Remove write access on web.config file now!” message? I’ve tried modifying the permissions through filezilla but no luck

Comment on Sencha SDK Tools – JSBuilder by Arthur Kay

It’s hard to say specifically what the problem is. My first guess is that there’s something wrong with your file permissions… but that’s just a shot in the dark.

I don’t actually work on the Sencha SDK tools, so I would recommend you post this on the Sencha forums.

I created a jsb3 file by hand and was able to generate a script file. But the deployment version is not getting compressed or obfuscated, even though I specified “compress”: true in the JSON.

the error I get is

... * Compress and obfuscate appName.js... rsync: -: unknown option rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1455) [client=3.0.9] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/NAME/PATH/TO/APP/www/nameOfBuildJSFile.js-temp-882015127581.6014 (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:120) at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:79) at com.yahoo.platform.yui.compressor.YUICompressor.main(YUICompressor.java:92) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at com.yahoo.platform.yui.compressor.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:20)

what am I doing wrong?

The only thing I like about Dreamweaver is the spilt design.

few years ago, when I wanted to learn stuffs about HTML/CSS, i started off with notepad2 and gave up withing two weeks. 1 year later, a friend of mine shared me a copy of DW, i picked up fast, because of spilt view feature. I am able to understand what it would look like after writing HTML/CSS Codes. And now for last two years, I have been developing Webpages for clients.

You already have one example of Node.js! So much more you can do with it but it should get your feet wet.

Comment on JavaScript: Binary Search vs Linear Search by Ryan

Ryan — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 06:07:48 +0000

I actually had this conversation with my mentor one time- he was talking about programming & search functions in large data sets.

For larger data sets the Binary advantage in its search has to be offset against time spent auto-sorting the data as step 1.

Comment on JavaScript Encapsulation by Arthur Kay

Michael, Object literals do NOT provide encapsulation.


var foo = {
    bar : 'some value'
};

foo.bar = 'something else'; //This property has no protection!

JavaScript should have as few global variables as possible to avoid naming collisions (and messy code), but that has little to do with this post.

Object literals are a very easy form of encapsulation as well, no?

JS does not have “explicit” access modifiers, but good practice dictates a global scope free of debris.

Good post.
