Remember recently, I requested help in winning the Ajax books that were apparently still being offered by FunWithJustin.com?
Well, it appears his site has been suspended for lack of payment.
Maybe Justin should have spent more money funding his site, rather than giving away free shite all the time. It’s a shame how some good sites just die.
Ah well… no books for me. On the bright side though, I hope he’s not dead.
Yep, you can help me win a few books from Justin M. Schultz’s site http://www.funwithjustin.com/.
So do me a favor and click here for Ajax Tutorials. It really is that simple. By following that link you are helping me to notify Justin’s statistics script that you were referred by me.
Despite the link name, there are no tricks, no hidden spam, and no adult material. It is a simple contest to win a few Ajax developer books. That’s all. It was his wish that all links have either that name above, or Blogging Tutorials, or even Internet Marketing. So hell, click on any of them if you like, they all do the same thing!
Make sure you check out his Blogging 101 and Copywrighting 101 areas. Definitely a ton of useful content there.
Thanks!
I recently learned of OGame, OK, I was actually pestered into it.
Anyway, if you like non-interactive, non-real-time, non-Flash-based browser-based games then this one is for you.
It is exactly like StarCraft for the most part, and from what I remember. Only difference is, it is slower than molasses and requires you to hit F5 a hundred times per minute.
It is alright as far as games go. It has actually prompted me to dig out a book I was sent recently, “PHP Game Programming (1, 2)”. Which I actually heard is lacking severely.
Then again, I can think of quite a few nifty game ideas using Ajax and the theory of MMO.
Hrmm…
OK, this time I actually prettied it up a bit and wrote an extensive backing!
I did not code a limit as to how many users could be added to the table. No sensitive information is stored in that table so I will be interested in seeing if someone attempts to abuse it.
I will be even more amazed if someone figures out a way to exploit it.
Check out my lovely dynamically add and remove users page.
Feel free to leave any comments as to how it could be better. I am really digging the whole Ajax concept. Also, if anyone knows a more intuitive library than xajax let me know. Thus far however, xajax is simply *amazing*. I cannot get over how complex yet easy to use this library is.
If anyone wants to see the code (it is ugly, fair warning) let me know.
Usage: um… click *everything*.
OK, I will not claim to have invented some magnificent beast, but I sure am pleased with my initial perusal of Ajax. Ajax has actually been around for quite some time. It just was not called Ajax until a couple of years ago.
I am slow to the curve, what can I say?
My little test page started out as a form for a “live registration” demo. Needless to say I got lazy about ten characters in. I thought, “Do I really care to code a small application so no one can use it? For those who *do* use it, do I want to combat the spam it must surely be?”
Hell no.
Anyway, in its current incarnation it will check only for my name in the database and the name of this site. I do however plan on incorporating this into the registration this site will eventually require for forums, code posts, et cetera. (Register for comments per the norm.)
So, here it is. Enjoy.
