Write less , do more. the slogan of the jquery proves its significance. According to jquery.com .”jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.” I am always fascinated by the jquery plugins.In this article , i have compiled some jquery plugins which i have used in my projects and hope it will be useful to other’s too.The jquery plugins, here i am discussing are specially focused for handling the images.

What do you want your website to do? Is it going to be primarily a static website, like an online brochure? Or is it going to be a fully-functioning ecommerce site? Or maybe it’s going to be really media-heavy with tons of videos, photos, and audio files. Or is a blog going to be the primary focus?

Whatever your site’s primary function is going to be, you need to define it and then find a CMS that does that particular thing really, really well. If blogging is the main focus of the site, then use a blog platform. If images and video are the main focus, then you need to find a CMS that either has great support for media built-in or has great plugins for enabling those functions. If your site is going to focus on an online store, then the platform you choose needs to be able to seamlessly integrate that online store without a ton of extra work.

2. A CMS needs to work intuitively.

When you average user opens up the backend of the site, they should be able to figure out how to do basic functions without too much instruction. Different elements of the site should be clearly labeled. The basics of posting a new page, editing a page, and even changing themes or sidebar elements should all be relatively simple to figure out for the average computer user.

3. The backend needs to be standardized.

Things should all work basically the same way in the backend of the site. A good CMS should have a standardized format for each section of the backend. If one section uses a drop-down menu for selecting something, then all of the other sections should use the same type of menu for similar options—not radio buttons or some other selector.

The same goes for the way things are named or otherwise referred to. If something is called a “page” in one place and a “post” in another, that’s going to get confusing (plus, most people consider those two different things). If it’s a “sidebar” in one place and a “second column” somewhere else, that’s going to confuse your average user.

4. The backend needs to be logical and well-organized.

Things should be laid out logically in the backend. This means that all of the functions related to editing, or sidebars, or themes, or creating new content, should be grouped somehow or otherwise function the same. Alternatively, some CMSs put all of the things related to pages in one place, sidebars in another, plugins in another, etc. Either way, they’re laid out logically and once you know the basic architecture, it’s easy enough to figure out where things are supposed to be.

5. The right CMS shouldn’t have a ton of extra functionality you’ll never use.

This is a completely personal choice. Some sites will make use of tons of advanced functionality. Other sites won’t. If you’re never going to have an online store, why do you need a CMS that focuses on ecommerce? If you never plan to do anything beyond posting photos to your site, why have a CMS that does that plus a hundred other things? Instead, find a CMS that does the one thing you want to do really well and forget about the other features.

6. The right CMS should be easy for non-geeks to use.

Web designers and developers are very good at using web-based applications and pretty much anything else computer-related. A lot of their clients, on the other hand, probably aren’t. While most of the end-users of any CMS are going to have at least basic computer knowledge, they’re probably not super tech savvy. While you might love a particular CMS and think it’s the best thing since solid-state hard drives, your clients might find it confusing, hard to use, and overly complicated.

The question I always ask myself when considering this is, “Could my mother use this?” My mother is your typical business computer user. She can do spreadsheets, word processing, and email, but she’s definitely not a techy. If I’m confident that I could easily explain a CMS to her and she’d then be able to use it with a minimum of later support, then I know it’s going to be appropriate for 90% of other likely users.

7. It needs to include a WYSIWYG editor.

WYSIWYG editors make life easier for your clients. Most clients don’t know HTML and don’t care to learn. But they want to be able to use bold or italic text or use header tags to create sections within their pages. A WYSIWYG editor makes that all possible for non-tech-savvy users.

8. The pages it creates should be fast-loading and have simple code.

One of the major advantages of a CMS is that it simplifies the updating and management of a website. So the pages it produces should also be simple. There shouldn’t be a lot of extra code or provisions for unused functionality in the final page code. All that serves to do is slow the load times for the page and increase the likelihood that something will render wrong or throw an error.

9. The template engine should allow you complete creative control.

Some CMSs have very set ideas about what a website should look like. There needs to be a sidebar for navigation. You shouldn’t use navigation dropdowns. The content has to be arranged in nice, neat columns. Who’s the designer here? Whatever CMS you choose should let you design pages the way you want and should work around your needs.

10. The right CMS should have adequate support and documentation.

In all likelihood, you’re going to run into some sort of problems with any CMS you choose. Whether this is caused by add-ons or in the course of customizing some bit of code, or whether the CMs is doing something unexpected, having somewhere you can turn to to get advice on how to fix the problem is invaluable.

This doesn’t necessarily have to be some expensive tech support phone number or other paid support. Sometimes you can get quicker and better responses from a user community. Does the CMS you’re considering have support forums frequented both by other users and by those involved in the project? Are there other, off-site forums dedicated to that particular CMS? The people who visit these forums can be a wealth of information for doing just about anything with your CMS of choice.

Thorough documentation for the CMS is also valuable. It should provide information on everything from basic use of the CMS to customizations and advanced functionality.

HTML5 is a standard for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. The new standard incorporates features like video playback and drag-and-drop that have been previously dependent on third-party browser plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Google Gears.The HTML5 specification was adopted as the starting point of the work of the new HTML working group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 2007. This working group published the First Public Working Draft of the specification on January 22, 2008.[3] The specification is an ongoing work, and is expected to remain so for many years, although parts of HTML5 are going to be finished and implemented in browsers before the whole specification reaches final Recommendation status.

The fully supportive HTML5 is not possible in short time,It will take a long time to be stable and in use, we call it an on going process.
I have collected few cheat sheet for HTML 5 which i think is useful to programmers and beginners in web.This cheatsheet lists all currently supported tags, their descriptions,their attributes and their support in HTML 4.

In all categories (Games, Education, Sports etc.) of application era iPhone is in very high position in compare to other phones like Google’s Android & Blackberry.
Football the craziest sports, whether it’s a club level or between nation level people do not want to miss a single match. So, here I am reviewing a best application for Football, which is especially developed for FIFA World cup 2010. This application is developed by ESPN and copyrighted to them, the leading sports channel.

ESPN 2010 FIFA WORLDCUP – SOUTHAFRICA
It’s amazing to think about how following sports has changed for the iPhone fans. When the last World Cup was contested four years ago, the iPhone didn’t exist. When this year’s tournament ready to kick off from next month, you’ll be able to watch all action in your iPhone.

In few days, 32 countries from around the globe will compete for the world’s most prestigious trophy – the FIFA World Cup. For the first time ever the Cup will be lifted in Africa and ESPN is one of the official broadcaster which will be there to bring exclusive coverage of this historic event to your iPhone with this application.

Since the global event doesn’t kick off until June 11, launching the app at this point brings up a large countdown timer at the top of the screen. The entire look of the app mirrors the bright color scheme adopted by the South African host nation and the tournament organizers.

Below the countdown, you can select from a menu of Teams, News, Fixtures/Schedule, and Tournament History. You can also select favorite teams in the settings panel, so a link directly to that team’s page shows up at the top of the menu for quick access to news, rosters, and more. Along the very bottom of the screen is the familiar ESPN headline scroll, featuring only World Cup-related headlines. You can tap any of these to be taken directly to the ESPN story in the in-app browser.

Many of the numbers that are supposed to show Google’s power are outdated. For example, the number of Google servers was estimated to 450,000 in 2006. ComScore estimated that Google attracted more than 2 billion searches a day in July 2009.

Hungry Beast claims that Google “wants to own your phone, your email, your computer and your entire digital life”. Using the verb “own” is inappropriate, since Google simply hosts your email and offers software for your phone and your computer.

Another claim is that “Google wants to own the cables that deliver the Internet and the electricity to power them”, when Google’s goal is to “help make Internet access better and faster for everyone” by showing that it’s possible to “deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access”. Like Gmail, which offered for the first time 1 GB of storage for free, or Google’s bid in the FCC spectrum auction, which helped consumers because Google convinced FCC to add some new rules: the winner of the auction has to “give its customers the right to download any application they want on their mobile device, and the right to use any device they want on the network”.

The video concludes that Google’s ultimate goal is to gather data about everyone in the world and to show great targeted ads. Actually, Google’s mission is to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”. Google’s disrupting business model pushes the boundaries of technology by democratizing knowledge. Ads are only the fuel that helps Google accomplish its mission.

Over the past 10 years since world wide web became popular, there are millions of domains registered and tons of content published online. Some of the WWW analysts say:

it is very hard or impossible to invent anything, which still has not been tried already somewhere over the world

– but that’s not the truth.

The Internet is a huge place where new and innovative ideas may become world wide popular with relatively small investment. In this article I am going to present a relatively new service over the Internet, born of the online users’ necessity and that is “URL Shortening”. What this do is very simple but extremely efficient – an innovative way of turning a long URL into the shorter one.

Some Advantages:

• Avoid URL Garbling
• Use the Small Address space
• Easy Link to the visitors

Some widely used URL shortening Sites:

1. TinyURL – www.tinyurl.com is the fist shortening service to discover this nice. Unfortunately later this year they faced their biggest fear, Twitter previously using it for their default shortener switched to Bit.Ly

2. Bit.ly – www.bit.ly is the most famous URL shortening service today, although not the first one offering this kind of service.
