Web Dev Bros

It’s been some time since the last version has been released. But today it’s here! Fresh and with loads of updates comes the brand new ajaxed version 2.0. Coupled with it we proud to announce the new official ajaxed website – ajaxed.org.

The community is growing and ajaxed already helps a lot developers to keep their legacy ASP application still up to date. Some highlight of the release:

One cool thing on the new website is the publicly available source code of ajaxed.org. Thats a great resource to have a look into real world ajaxed development.

I proudly announce the launch of a new project developed with ajaxed – yes with classic asp :). It’s a platform for everyone who wants to show tourists/visitors around in his/her hometown and earn some pocket money. Let’s face this:

You are a student and love to get in touch with people from around the globe. On Tourmandu you can offer a tour in your hometown and tourists can get in touch with you. You show them ’round and they pay/tip you afterwards. Not a bad idea :) Great part time income …

As the project has been recently launched its a bit empty, but have a look at some existing tour to get an idea of what i am talking about..

• Tours in Australia
• Tours is Paris, France
• Tours in Spain
• Tours in the USA
• Guides for Famous sightseeing spots

It’s a small function which I will introduce today but very useful. When working recently on ajaxed i discovered that its often possible to pass an array or a primitive type as an argument to a function. Lets say you have a function println(msg) which prints out its argument as a line to the screen. When the argument is an array then it treats each field as a line. So it should be possible to call the function with those variations:

println("something")
println(array("some", "more", "lines"))

Lets see how we solve the solution in a nice way and how we will be able to create a function which is simply called [] (which is common syntax for an array in other languages).

I proudly present the new logo of our ajaxed library. Just achieve a bit of identity ;) What do you think? Do you like it or is it just another web 2.0 logo :) Btw: I have just purchased ajaxed.org which will be the new home for ajaxed. A lot of tutorials, better documentation and version 2 is coming soon. Thanks again for all your support guys!

Today we will check how we could realize a simple login using ajaxed for your web application. You know the common stuff where you enter your credentials (email and password) and you get authorized if they are correct.

A lot of improvements and new stuff – i got a lot of inspiration from ruby on rails as well and the biggest goodie is an own developer console with unit tests, documentation creator…

Today i had some time and have created an own google discussion group (forum) for the ajaxed project. This will make the management of problems much easier for me. At least i hope so :) It should help you guys to communicate about your solutions and issues with ajaxed. Also all issues regarding JSON in connection with ASP should go there, and all other classic ASP topics. I can track all these stuff much better then. Thanks for your help and contributions!

Since version 0.2 it is possible to use a database with ajaxed out of the box. The library offers the ability to configure a connection string for the use of ODBC within your pages. After that convenient methods enable access to the database. The following paragraphs give a short insight into the usage of a database within ajaxed.

Upon releasing the first version of a classic ASP AJAX library called ajaxed I received a lot of positive response. For this reason I have extended the library and released version 0.2 now. The update consists mostly of server side additions which have not really to do with Ajax. Still those additions are very useful when working with ajaxed because everything is done on server side. Here is a short excerpt of some additions:

• A database can be easily configured now and accessed with several convenient methods.
• A collection of useful string functions is now directly accessible (check VBScript String functions). Those functions are necessary for all kind of projects you do.
• Prototype 1.5.1.1 is being used now

Have a look at the new version and give me your feedback. I hope that I can find some time to come up with more tutorials.
