jQuery and SharePoint id

Posted on by

It has been a while since I’ve posted anythin new, this because the new focus for programming has been SharePoint and jQuery at my new job. I now work for CACI as a sub-contractor on a government job. They mainly use ColdFusion and HTML for their pages, but are currently switching over to SharePoint 2013. And by switching over, I mean redoing Lotus Notes apps and other non-web apps onto SharePoint. Being a government job, also means that SharePoint is locked down in ways that makes customization limited. Apparently to get around such limitations, Microsoft has provided JSOM to access Continue reading jQuery and SharePoint id→

Cascades animations in games

Posted on by

This article is a follow-up of How to use Cascades built-in animations Animations are perfect for simple games, so let’s create one right now. The game we’ll be building is called ‘No Fly Zone’ and consist of a fly flying around the screen that we need to kill. First, we’ll need a fly image, so I’ve found this one from http://www.openclipart.org :   We’ll separate this image in two parts : the body and wings. Save those 2 images in ‘assets/images/’ folder (you’ll need to create ‘images’ folder). To make the wings flap, we’ll put both images on top of each other Continue reading Cascades animations in games→

How to use Cascades built-in animations

Posted on by

Nowadays, there’s a lot of mobile app developers and your apps need to stand out to catch the user’s attention. Most users like to interact with the app, and animations can bring this interaction to another level, not only letting the user touch a component on the screen and have a reaction, but also having this component to move, scale, fade or rotate to create a real sense of interaction and fluidity. Hopefully, Cascades makes it easy to use animations with only a few lines of code.   IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT ANIMATIONS Cascades support 2 types of animations, implicit and Continue reading How to use Cascades built-in animations→

JavaScript last day of the month

Posted on by

I usually don’t do post about simple JavaScript issues, but I figured I might need this solution again and might as well write it down. I am working on a new product called Archibus Web Central. Basically it is a building inventory management tool. The application is made up of an XML and JavaScript Hybrid code. Poor explanation, but not really important to this post. In the project I am working on, I need to determine a start and end date in order to get a range of dates. To make my life simple, I am just using a set Continue reading JavaScript last day of the month→

Built for BlackBerry

Posted on by

Just because you build an app to run on a BlackBerry device, doesn’t mean that it is Built for BlackBerry. There are guidelines for what is considered Built for BlackBerry. And after you think you have done your best to meet those guidelines, you have to submit your app to be scrutinized by someone from BlackBerry to determine if you did meet those guidelines. On top of that, you only get a limited number of tries to get the app passed. Built for BlackBerry. The signature BlackBerry 10 experience. Built to keep you moving, apps and games with the Built Continue reading Built for BlackBerry→

Meetup for BlackBerry 1.2.2

Posted on by

Meetup for BlackBerry 10 by DeanLogic version 1.2.2 is now available for download. The first thing you should notice is that the install size is now only 1.5 MB. Sorry for making it so huge before, I didn’t realize the splash screen images were the culprit. The other obvious change is the app icon. Due to a request from Meetup, I modified the logo to meet their requirements. I added shortcut keys for the Q and Passport, but found out that the ‘Alt’ key won’t work for those shortcuts. I will do a different shortcut and send out an update. Continue reading Meetup for BlackBerry 1.2.2→
