More code samples, slides and video clips about this topic can be found in my C# Fundamentals course at www.abelski.com.

The C# Pragma Directive

One of the scenarios in which this directive can be useful is the case of having multiple warning messages. When their number is small it is easy to track. When there are many of them it might confuse. I you happen to deal with code written in a clumsy way by some one else long time ago I believe you will most likely find this directive highly practical on your end.

Introduction to HTML 5

I have recently completed to develop an introduction course for HTML 5. It covers HTML 5 important parts. The professional commercial version is available at www.xperato.com. The community free version is available at www.abelski.com.

Taking this course you will learn how to use HTML 5 new tags and how to use its new JavaScript APIs. The topics this course covers include the following:
Multimedia
Geo Location
Offline Storage
Canvas 2D Graphics
WebGL 3D Graphics
Communication
Web Workers
Web Sockets
HTML 5 Forms
Drag & Drop

The slides include inner links for relevant video clips hosted on the youtube platform. Watching these clips please don't hesitate to place your comments.

Java Script Programming

If you have already checked the HTML 5 capabilities then you should already know that HTML 5 isn't just about tags. Major part of it is about new Java Script APIs that enable us various capabilities such as getting geolocation information, interacting with Java Script code running in other windows and using the web browser for storing data as if it was a small database.

Now, that Microsoft took its decision about HTML 5 as the major technology for RIA development it is clear that we should all master the Java Script programming language.

I have recently completed to develop a detailed course that teaches how to develop code in Java Script. The community version is available for free personal and academic usage at www.abelski.com. The commercial professional version is available at www.xperato.com.

Please don't hesitate and let me know your thoughts. I will be more than happy to get your feedback.

Facebook Graph API Objects Introspection

https://graph.facebook.com/_________?metadata=1

When we try to request the https://graph.facebook.com/742375122?metadata=1 URL address we will get a JSON file that lists all object that are connected with the objects 742375122 is its unique ID number.

The following short video clip explains how we can introspect objects that belong to the facebook graph.
