Playing around with AJAX

kittens

These are some of the tweens and actions that I am playing around with.
Hopefully soon I will be able to use what I learned from my play time and translate it into something useful.

I am using a library from mootools to help me with the tweening in javascript. I could code everything from scratch, but it seems that it would be a waste of time since I’m going to use simple tweens. One thing that I learned from programming in flash ActionScript 2 or actionScript 3 is that coding things from scratch is great and feels good, but it takes a long time to do.

This is why I don’t feel too bad about using mootools. Its more efficient and I need to save, as much time as possible. Specially since the Winter Show at ITP is a few weeks away!

in the mean time, enjoy the kittens.

Messing with Google Maps.

I made this Silly Smiley face using Google Map API:



Surprisingly, Google made it really easy for people to use their maps and re-purpose the information to be used for something else. Its nothing new but its Cool stuff!

MooTools and Greasemonkey.

I have started to dive into MooTools and Greasemonkey. I am interested in how the DOM of Firefox, allows users to re-program the content in web sites without actually modifying the source code of the site. This method can come in very handy when building or debugging sites.

if you already have Greasemonkey you probably already know about http://userscripts.org/ which is the place where you can find lots of scripts to make your web browsing life more convenient.

I was told about this amazing library of plug-ins on Cnet.com that could help you develop some cool Apps. if you are the coder/proggramer type. This is the address to the gold: http://clientside.cnet.com/js
