JQuery & AJAX Animation’s

In this article, I’ll show you a bunch of ways to animate text and image’s using JQuery. Like always, I’ll provide snippets of code followed by an explanation on what it does. Let’s start animating.

<html>
<head>
<title>JQuery Example</title>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js”></script>

Here we start off the HTML code and get the JQuery library for use.

JQuery & AJAX Mouse Event Handler’s

I forgot to cover in depth mouse event handler’s in the last presentation. If you add the following code to my previous JQuery & AJAX tutorial on Event Handler’s, we should be good to go.

You just need to add a little bit of code to implement mouse event handler’s. Change the code where I assign event handler’s to the body to this:

$(‘#theBody’).bind(‘keyup’,checkKeyPressed).bind(‘mousemove’,theMouseMoved);

Learning JQuery and AJAX Part 1

I’ve received many requests for both an AJAX and a JQuery tutorial. So, I’ll cover them both in the same series of articles, because they work well together. I wrote an earlier article on How to AJAX, but I’ll briefly go through what AJAX and JQuery is in this article.

What is AJAX?

There is much confusion concerning Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). First off AJAX is not a programming language. It provides a new way for you to use the languages I’ve taught you in previous tutorials:

How to Get Twitter Followers with a Click

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHgULE1RUtM[/youtube]
Yesterday I promised I would create an easy way for you to add at least 1000 Twitter Followers in a week. Today I deliver on that promise. You can dramatically increase your number of followers on Twitter by just clicking on any of the links in my Blog Roll, which is at the bottom of my right sidebar.

A Warning First

  • Do not try to follow more than 200 people per day
  • Don’t spam your new follower’s to death
  • Read your direct message’s or you will lose follower’s
  • If you don’t follow these rules you may get banned on Twitter
  • Twitter was made to make it easy for people to inform other’s, not to blitz them with advertising
  • Some of the people I have you follow swear. If you have a problem with that don’t do this.

The Idea!

Many people asked me how to increase the number of people that follow them on Twitter. See there is proof I’ll do tutorial’s on what ever you guys and gals want. So I hypothesized that the people that follow the most people would more than likely follow me if I followed them. The list of 1000 Best Twitter Followers can be found here.

How to Get Follower’s on Twitter Free

I’m not putting myself out there as a twitter expert, hence all of the work I did for you here is free. I was challenged on May 8th to figure out how to add 1000 Twitter follower’s in one week. Here I’ll show you how to get Twitter follower’s as well.

I was handicapped quite a lot:

  • I had to use an account that had less than ten current follower’s
  • I couldn’t give away an iPad or anything of value
  • I couldn’t use my website to ask people to sign up for Twitter. (I could however provide a simple link to my Twitter page.)
  • I couldn’t promote my Twitter account on my 80 You Tube video’s
  • I basically had to get the follower’s in the same way a person would that didn’t have a high traffic website, or any other high traffic outlets.

Learn XML Schema

In this article I’ll describe the most complicated aspect in XML. A XML Schema is another way you can represent how a XML document file defines data, elements and attributes.

How Schema’s Differ from DTD’s

Unlike DTD’s, which are great when you are mainly working with text elements, Schema’s work best when your mainly working with data elements.

Schema’s also work better when you want to be certain that the proper data is entered. Schema’s define what type of data each element and attribute can hold. For example, with a XML Schema you can specify you will only allow a price element to be of the form of a certain number of numbers followed by a period and then two additional digits.

How to Reinstall WordPress After Hack

Ok, you’ve been hacked. Stay calm your information is not going to be lost forever. At best you’ll be able to restore everything by just reinstalling wordpress through the Go Daddy interface.

The Easy Way to Reinstall After a Hack

Learn XML Document Type Definition’s

As I explained at the end of the last article. You create a Document Type to define the rules that must be followed in your XML Markup. A DTD defines what elements are required and what attributes can be set and what their potential values can be.

Every DTD must start with the line <?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” standalone=”no”?>. This tells the processor that this is an XML version 1.0 file. The character encoding used is of type UTF-8. And, that no external file is required for this document to work.

Also make sure that when you are creating DTD’s that !ELEMENT, !ATTLIST, #REQUIRED, #PCDATA, #CDATA, etc. are all capitalized.

There you are all up to speed. Now on to DTD Prologs… Continue reading Learn XML Document Type Definition’s

Learn XML eXtensible Markup Language Pt 2

In this tutorial I’ll continue to cover XML and all of it’s capabilities. XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. I hope you got this one point from the last XML Article. XML does one thing really well. It organizes and classifies your data, so that it is useable by a wide range of devices and software packages!

In this article I’ll explain how XML influenced HTML, to create the newest version of HTML called XHTML. I’ll then explain what well formed XML is and Document Type Definition’s (DTD).

First you have to understand that XML is no more a programming language than HTML is. Let me repeat that. XML is not a programming language, it is a Markup Language that is very similar to HTML. If you don’t understand HTML, stop reading this article and instead read or watch my HTML W3C Tutorial.

People really struggle to understand exactly what XML is and I’m going to explain it in an unconventional way that has never failed in the past. I’ll explain XML, by comparing it to HTML. Continue reading Learn XML eXtensible Markup Language
