Modern web application user interface design requires rapid development and proven results. jQuery UI, a trusted suite of official plugins for the jQuery JavaScript library, gives you a solid platform on which to build rich and engaging interfaces with maximum compatibility, stability, and a minimum of time and effort. jQuery UI has a series of ready-made, great looking user interface widgets, and a comprehensive set of core interaction helpers designed to be implemented in a consistent and developer-friendly way. With all this, the amount of code that you need to write personally to take a project from conception to completion is drastically reduced. Specially revised for version 1.7 of jQuery, this book has been written to maximize your experience with the library by breaking down each component and walking you through examples that progressively build upon your knowledge, taking you from beginner to advanced usage in a series of easy-to-follow steps.

The jQuery library has taken the frontend development world by storm. Its dead-simple syntax makes once-complicated tasks downright trivial—enjoyable, even. Many a developer has been quickly seduced by its elegance and clarity. If you’ve started using the library, you’re already adding rich, interactive experiences to your projects. Getting started is easy, but as is the case with many of the tools we use to develop websites, it can take months or even years to fully appreciate the breadth and depth of the jQuery library. The library is chock-full of features you might never have known to wish for. Once you know about them, they can dramatically change how you approach the problems you’re called upon to solve. The goal of this cookbook is to expose you, dear reader, to the patterns and practices of some of the leading frontend developers who use jQuery in their everyday projects. Over the course of 18 chapters, they’ll guide you through solutions to problems that range from straightforward to complex. Whether you’re a jQuery newcomer or a grizzled JavaScript veteran, you’re likely to gain new insight into harnessing the full power of jQuery to create compelling, robust, high-performance user interfaces.

Welcome to Twitter Bootstrap Web Development How-To. The content of this book is up to date with version 2.1 of Twitter Bootstrap. In what follows, this book will help you to get to know Twitter Bootstrapby trying it on for size. I've written with the novice to intermediate developer in mind. If you've been designing sites for a while, then this book will give you a quick introduction to several key features of Twitter Bootstrap's markup, stylesheets, and JavaScript plugins. If you're new to HTML and CSS (and maybe even a little scared of JavaScript)—don't worry! This book will help you along. If, by contrast, you're looking to compile CSS from LESS and integrate the results with Backbone.js—this isn't for you. Fair enough? Let's dive in.

Bootstrap is a front-end framework for building responsive websites. Whether it is application frameworks, blogs, or other CMS applications, Bootstrap can be a good fit, as it can be as vanilla as you like. Its combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript make it easy to build robust sites without adding a lot of code. With a default grid system, layouts come together with ease, and the styling of buttons, navs, and tables make basic markup look great from the get-go. A dozen or so JavaScript plugins catapult you into adding interactive elements to your site.

jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that is extensible using plug-ins. Some plug-ins,specifically those for managing the user interface, have been collected together in thejQuery UI library. These plug-ins help facilitate interaction with the user, and these interactions are simpler to manage if you use jQuery only.

The WordPress Anthology

WordPress is the most widely used website platform and content management system on the Web today, running on approximately 15% of websites. It is open source and, hence, free, released under the GNU Public License version 2, or GPL2 for short. Its permissive use and development license, combined with its ease of use from both a website user’ s and developer’ s perspective, has helped WordPress rapidly gain global market share for the past several years. It continues to grow each month, outpacing other content management systems at a rate of more than two to one. Indeed, in the eight years since Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little created WordPress as a branch of another open-source project, WordPress has become big business … and business is good.

Developing plugins for WordPress is the next big thing for you if you are an administrator looking to enhance a personal site with custom functionality for which no plugin exists, a developer looking to enhance the WordPress platform with new ideas for the community, or a website designer building a specific project for a client. Learning how to create WordPress plugins will allow you to unleash the full potential of the most popular web content management system.

PROGRAMMERS HAVE A LOT ON THEiR MiNDS. Programming languages, programming techniques, development environments, coding style, tools, development process, deadlines, meetings, software architecture, design patterns, team dynamics, code, requirements, bugs, code quality. And more. A lot.

MongoDB is an open source, non-relational database system designed to meet the needs of modern Web 2.0 applications. It is currently being used by some of the most popular websites in the world. This book introduces MongoDB to the web developer who has some background building web applications using PHP. This book teaches what MongoDB is, how it is different from relational database management systems, and when and why developers should use it instead of a relational database for storing data.

Redis is a data structure server with an in-memory dataset for speed. It is called a data structure server and not simply a key value store because Redis implements data structures allowing keys to contain binary safe strings, hashes, sets and sorted sets, as well as lists. This combination of flexibility and speed makes Redis the ideal tool for many applications. Redis first started in early 2009 as a key value store developed by Salvatore Sanfilippo in order to improve the performance of his own LLOOGG, an analytics product. Redis grew in popularity after getting support from people and companies in the developer world and has since been supported by VMware, who hired Salvatore and Pieter Noordhuis to work full-time on the project.

Elgg is a web application for social networking. It has all the features you would expect from a social web application. It has blogging, file sharing, social bookmarking, microblogging, activity streams, groups, "friending", user profiles, and the list goes on. However, Elgg is more than just a web application. It can also be used as a development framework for creating social websites. Developers are building impressive social media sites on top of the Elgg engine through its powerful API. They are using it to add social functionality to current websites and integrating it with other popular web applications.

You may be reading this book for many reasons. It could be because you heard all about Hadoopand what it can do to crunch petabytes of data in a reasonable amount of time. While reading into Hadoop you found that, for random access to the accumulated data, there is something called HBase. Or it was the hype that is prevalent these days addressing a new kind of data storage architecture. It strives to solve large-scale data problems where traditional solutions may be either too involved or cost-prohibitive. A common term used in this area is NoSQL.

We had several goals in mind for this book. Many of them were derived from thinking about that mythical perfect MySQL book that none of us had read but that we kept looking for on bookstore shelves. Others came from a lot of experience helping other users put MySQL to work in their environments. We wanted a book that wasn’t just a SQL primer. We wanted a book with a title that didn’t start or end in some arbitrary time frame (“...inThirty Days,” “Seven Days To a Better...”) anddidn’t talk down to the reader. Most of all, we wanted a book that would help you take your skills to the next level and build fast, reliable systems with MySQL—one that would answer questions like “How can I set up a cluster of MySQL servers capable of handling millions upon millions of queries and ensure that things keep running even if a couple of the servers die?”

It’s about time you asked (even if you didn’t). Perl programs are text files; you can create and edit them with your favorite text editor. (You don’t need any special development environment, although there are some commercial ones available from various vendors.We’ve never used any of these enough to recommend them.)

So what make a "wicked cool" Perl script? First, the script must be useful. It must solve a real-world problem. Many of the scripts in this book have been used out in the field in some form other. Cool scripts are ones that solve a difficult problem. Actually, the more difficult, the better. And if the solution turns out to be simple and elegant, well, that makes it all the cooler.

The OpenLDAP directory server is a mature product that has been around (in one form or another) since 1995. All of the major Linux distributions include the OpenLDAP server, and many major applications, both Open Source and proprietary, are directory aware, and can make use of the services provided by OpenLDAP. And yet the OpenLDAP server seems to be shrouded in mystery, known and understood only by the gurus and hackers. This book is meant not only to demystify OpenLDAP, but to give the system administrator and software developer a solid understanding of how to make use, in the practical realm, of OpenLDAP’s directory services.

Directories tend to contain descriptive, attribute-based information and support sophisticated filtering capabilities. Directories generally do not support complicated transaction or roll-back schemes found in database management systems designed for handling high-volume complex updates. Directory updates are typically simple all-or-nothing changes, if they are allowed at all. Directories are generally tuned to give quick response to high-volume lookup or search operations. They may have the ability to replicate information widely in order to increase availability and reliability, while reducing response time. When directory information is replicated, temporary inconsistencies between the replicas may be okay, as long as inconsistencies are resolved in a timely manner.

A directory server supporting LDAPis required to run these examples. The examples should work with almost any LDAP-enabled directory server, except where noted prior to the example. This book is about getting the most from directory services, not installing and configuring all the directories on the market. Following are pointers to some of the more common directory servers available at the time of publication. Additionally, we include basic instructions for obtaining a special LDAPserver that has been preconfigured to work with the examples in this book.

Creating presentations and impressing the audience is an important task for people who work as software professionals, marketers, public speakers, or anyone who is familiar with computer-related work. Online presentation creation applications are gaining much more popularity over conventional desktop-based software applications in the recent years. impress.js is a powerful library that eases the task of creating presentations with smooth animations without depending on a software tool. You are no longer limited to desktop tools as these presentations run on any supported browser anywhere on the Internet.
