Typescript for the C# developer

Over the past couple of years, my most popular talk that Iv’e taken around user groups has been the one where I describe what Typescript is, and how it relates to the backend C# developer.

Iv’e found that many back-end devs who would like to jump into client side development, are often put off from doing so simply beacuse of the percieved mess that the JavaScript eco system is in at present, and let’s be fair it’s not a compleatly unfounded reason either, beacuse JavaScript is bleeding at the edges in a great many places.

HTML5 Validation

I recently got asked what HTML5 validation looks like.

Needless to say this was a bit of a strange question, but as I read on through the question, I realized that is wasn’t a case of not knowing what HTML5 validation looks like, but a case of where jQuery validation stopped and the HTML5 stuff started.

In this quick post, I’m going to briefly cover the HTML5 validation stuff in the hopes it’ll clear a few things up.

Jquery (The easy path to Ajax goodness)

I bought another book yesterday, one I’ve been on the look out for, for a while now.

The book is entitled "Learning jQuery 1.3", and is published by "Packt Publishing" under ISBN 9781847196705. I’ve been using JQuery for some time now, but am by no means an expert in it, so this book will serve as a reference to sit alongside my other books on my already overcrowded desk. You can see it on Amazon Here (Learning jQuery 1.3)
