Twitter. 50 Useful JavaScript Tools | Developer's Toolbox | Smas. Advertisement By Jacob Gube JavaScript is a powerful client-side scripting language used in many modern websites and Web applications. In the hands of a skilled Web developer, JavaScript can enhance the user’s experience of the website and provide rich interactive components and features. But even though syntactically simple in nature, JavaScript is often difficult to author because of the environment it runs in: the Web browser. JavaScript’s popularity is evident in emerging technologies, such as Adobe AIR, which use it as a supported language for creating desktop-based applications. Below, you’ll find 50 excellent tools to help you achieve various tasks involved in authoring JavaScript code. You’ll also find a few new and alternative JavaScript and AJAX frameworks to help you explore options beyond the big names (i.e. Also, be sure to check out the following related posts: JavaScript/AJAX Authoring Tools Documentation Tools JSDoc Toolkit JSDoc Toolkit makes code documentation a breeze.

Posted in Tech blog on February 3rd, 2009 by Pingdom Yesterday a Twitter post (a tweet) by Mashable’s Pete Cashmore became so popular that traffic from Twitter crashed a blog. This sounds very similar to a common social media phenomenon originally known as the Slashdot effect (and later also the Digg effect), where a post on a popular social media site pushes more traffic than the target site can handle. An interesting thing here is the mechanics of Twitter, which is fundamentally different from Digg and Slashdot. It’s not a social news site, with a front page that all visitors go to. We won’t go into the details of how Twitter works, that’s better covered elsewhere, but it’s worth noting that it’s a very different beast. For lack of a better word we will call the phenomenon of sites crashing as a result of traffic from Twitter, “the Twitter Effect”.
But now on to the big question… How could a single tweet generate that much traffic? Avoiding memory leaks. Android applications are, at least on the T-Mobile G1, limited to 16 MB of heap. It's both a lot of memory for a phone and yet very little for what some developers want to achieve. Even if you do not plan on using all of this memory, you should use as little as possible to let other applications run without getting them killed.
The more applications Android can keep in memory, the faster it will be for the user to switch between his apps. As part of my job, I ran into memory leaks issues in Android applications and they are most of the time due to the same mistake: keeping a long-lived reference to a Context. On Android, a Context is used for many operations but mostly to load and access resources. This is why all the widgets receive a Context parameter in their constructor. In a regular Android application, you usually have two kinds of Context, Activity and Application. Private static Drawable sBackground; In summary, to avoid context-related memory leaks, remember the following: Crimes against code and using threads in Android. In my career as a software engineer, I have encountered plenty of example code.
As a Google Developer Advocate for Android, part of my job involves creating example code for illustrating certain concepts and APIs.Most of the time, people will take a snippet of example code and bend it to their will until it no longer resembles the original. But that's the whole point: the sample code has served its purpose. It has illustrated some key concept and hopefully helped someone build some great software. Last week I met with a developer who was working on a prototype application for a potential client of his. In the course of our discussion, he told me that he has been continuing to use some example code I provided him with, as-is, without modification.

The tricky problem of multithreaded programming with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) That was until I learned about.
Source: Intel prepping for mass roll-out of Android netbooks Ve. As netbook sales continue to pick up in a struggling world economy, Intel, which makes the processors found in many of those netbooks, is mulling over how best to profit from that market. Intel is now preparing for the mass production of Google Android-based netbooks, a reliable source tells us, though for now we have few other details.
Such an effort could yield Android netbooks as early as this year, but 2010 remains a more likely scenario. We’ve previously detailed and showed off what a netbook running Android can do. While the platform is just starting to get traction as a mobile operating system, its core is based on Linux, which of course powers many different computerized devices. This means it’s possible for Android to also run on many types of devices, something that Fujitsu is looking into already.
But Android running on personal computers might be its most interesting usage. VB's working with marketing expert Scott Brinker to understand the new digital marketing organization. SEO - Search Engine Optimization | Read SEOmoz, Rank Better. Android Developers Blog. Android JavaDoc.

The Ruetz Rat The Ruetz Rat is a simple modification to the classic ProCo Rat distortion pedal that accomplishes two things. First, it lowers the overall amount of gain in the circuit, transforming the pedal into more of an overdrive rather than a distortion pedal.
Second, it flattens out the frequency response of the circuit, resulting in a smoother tone and extended (but tight) low end. The Ruetz Rat mod is as simple and easy-to-perform as can be. Anyone can do this mod: no electronics experience, soldering, or special tools required. Don't underestimate the power of this mod because of its ease and simplicity -- the Ruetz Rat is a HUGE improvement over the stock circuit. Ruetz Rat -- Solderless Clip Mod Some years ago, my uncle, Ron Wayton, asked me if I could mod his Rat pedal for a smoother tone and better low-end. After locating a schematic and checking out the circuit, the first thing I tried turned out to be all that was necessary. Here you can see two resistor/capacitor pairs.
