I recently finished an integration between the open source jqGrid and jQuery BBQ libraries. I have released my integration as open source, as well. As with both projects, it is dual-licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses.
jqGrid is a JavaScript grid component with many useful features. I have previously explained how to use it with [...]

If you are developing a web application which requires authentication or security features not included in the regular ASP.NET membership feature, you might decide to implement these features yourself. But it seems as if the first instinct of many ASP.NET MVC developers is to do this by customizing their Controllers, because they’ve decided that AuthorizeAttribute [...]

Columbus Give Camp is based on a similar series of events in Michigan. The Columbus Give Camp was hosted by Quick Solutions, who, conveniently, are located five floors above [...]
Also tagged columbus, givecamp, Ruby, unit testingWhen you are creating a new URI for a site you are building, give it a lot of thought. You should aim to design a URI which can last forever. Of course, this is not news. Jakob Nielsen said it 10 years ago. But in the intervening 10 years, we’ve gone from URIs which typically [...]
Also tagged architecture, the dynamic web, urisThis morning, I saw two different posts from Rails developers who were newly learning ASP.NET MVC, both bemoaning the fact that ASP.NET MVC does not supply/force upon you one particular ORM. The dependency on ActiveRecord is, to my way of thinking, a shortcoming of Rails, which the Rails community is presently doing an exceptional job [...]
Also tagged asp.net mvc, orm, railsA few days ago, I opined that, "Web applications, as a class, are extremely easy to debug." I’m going to further explain why I think that is true by introducing a useful abstraction which you can employ when you are debugging a web application which doesn’t seem to do what is is intended to do.

The Columbus Architecture Group, a special interest group for software architects, is hosting "lightning talks" (a series of short, 10-20 minute presentations) tonight, at 6:00 p.m. in the Quick Solutions offices. I will be presenting a talk on "The Structure and Interpretation of URIs." See the list of other topics at the link.

In the beginning (around 1990 or so), the World Wide Web was composed of three parts:
HTML, a markup language for displaying rich documents
HTTP, a stateless protocol for communicating with a web server
The URI, a short, standardized reference to a network resource
Almost 20 years later, very little has changed, especially from the point of view of [...]

This allows you to have an [...]
