This one is going to be about creating a knockout.js project on Codepen. Knockout.js has long fallen from the internet’s good graces but it’s still a very useful library that is much easier to grasp, write, and publish than React.js. First, the Demo Apparently, you can’t embed Codepen projects… so here’s the link: Knockout.js Template…
Day three is officially over. I got a little bit done tonight, but I was also watching a riveting Gerard Butler movie. Not the best way to be productive but I’ve also worked on another project at my actual job for about 6 hours today, so I’m not going to beat myself up over it…
I’m still a little bit ahead of schedule but I’m back on track today. Today’s update was focused on building out my knockoutjs component shells and a little bit of CSS styling. Knockoutjs Components All these files currently have similar code in them. dashboard-albums.js dashboard-albums.html app.js It’s not much yet, but I have big plans….
Day 1 of my 100DaysOfCode journey is over and I’ve already cheated a little bit… In order to determine if I wanted to do this challenge, I had to lay a little bit of ground work in the form of fleshing out the app idea and making sure it was viable. On my Trello to-do…
I haven’t been very active on this blog for the last couple of years. I’m attempting to change that. What better way than to start the #100DaysOfCode Twitter challenge. That’s right, I’m officially committing to code for at least an hour a day for the next 100 (ish) days. If you don’t know what I’m…
It’s amazing what technology can do, and how easily it can do it. Last night, I was playing around with some ideas that eventually led to curiosity for speech recognition in C#. That led me to this page on Microsoft docs. It took all of five minutes to set this project up, copy some code,…
In-place record editing with AJAX has been a thorn in my side for a long time. I’ve got it figured out these days, but that wasn’t always the case. I wrote a post on this topic before I knew what I was doing and it’s time to set the record straight. @Html.Raw exposes many XSS-scripting…
I’ve finally decided to dive into .NET Core. Trepidatious at first, it took about an hour until I was hooked. Having just dove into Node.js and Express, ASP.NET Core felt a little like an old friend. However, this is not what this post is about. It’s about the lambda operator and how to use them…
Showing and hiding elements with JS (and some CSS) This one is going to be a short one (hopefully). I know a lot of developers depend on Bootstrap and jQuery to add a little bit of pizzazz to their apps with fade-ins, smooth transitions, and whatever other fancy little thing they find themselves needing. However,…
Alright, so I need some opinions on something I’m working on. It’s a JS/CSS/LESS framework that is designed to handle all the colors in a website or web app. Here’s the repo for the project if you don’t want to bother reading the rest of the post: https://github.com/vtsells/Spray And here is a VERY rough demo….
