September 2nd, 2008 by Fahd

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google Inc. is releasing its own Web browser in a long-anticipated move aimed at countering the dominance of Microsoft Corp.’s Internet Explorer and ensuring easy access to its market-leading search engine.

The Mountain View-based company took the unusual step of announcing its latest product on the Labor Day holiday after it prematurely sent out a comic book drawn up to herald the new browser’s arrival. (more…)

Are you social on the web?

February 29th, 2008 by Fahd

Do you wanna be social? Are you social on the web? Is your website in accordance with the “social” requirements as laid out by the web 2.0 standard. Do you want to say “yeah” but are afraid of saying it as it might be wrong as you still dont know what exactly 2.0 is. OK, let me add something (thats not new off course but clarifies a little about the social aspect of the web). The web 2.0 is about the usability factor of the web. Sites like Flickr and Google calendar are a very good example of usability. Both have social factors about them. Like on Flickr, people can comment on your photos, photos that you want to share. Also you can post photos to your blog right from your Flickr account and there are dozens of good services that can be integrated with Flickr through an API provided by Flickr.

Script.aculo.us Its about the user interface, baby!

January 22nd, 2008 by Fahd

I am with my best days of learning web development now a days! Having coffee on my cabin’s table where me and my computer live together. Ah its quite bitter :( , I am still not good at making cape chino! But I am still happy as I have learned new things today. I have always been looking for some great JavaScript libraries that would do some really nice tricks like animation effects and user friendly techniques with easy to code syntax and minimal lines of code to call a specfic functionality. So I got it today.

And dear readers, I was really amazed at the high profile sites who are using it for example Gucci ,Digg , Apple fluxiom , Basecamp , Shopify , Blinksale , Backpack , Feedburner , Mailroom , Ruby on Rails and many others.

Isn’t that impressive? yeah I am sure it is!

Be sure to check out the demos, too: effects engine , autocompleter , drag’n'shop , puzzle game

 I will be using it with the codignitor , the new PHP framework that I am  goin g to use for my new project thats a CMS system for teachers to help manage their content for students. It focuses on Web 2.0 with Rich dynamic features!
