Usage Introduction DataTables operates on the principle of progressive enhancement, whereby an enhanced and interactive table will be presented to the end user if their browser has the required capabilities. When you initialise the jQuery.dataTable object, information about the table is read directly from the HTML page. In combination with the default values for the features in DataTables, this makes it very easy to integrate directly into your web-site or web-application. Optionally, you can use the initialisation parameters to load data from locations other than the DOM, such as a server-side processing script or an Ajax obtained JSON file. Prerequisites In order for DataTables to be able to function correctly, the HTML for the target table must be laid out in a well formed manner with the 'thead' and 'tbody' sections declared. Data sources DataTables can take the data that it is to display from a number of different sources.

The big Expedia Interview Background I had a screening interview with Expedia, and then they invited me over to Seattle to do an 'interview loop' there. They paid for me to fly over there, for a hotel room, a rental car, and some food. That was awesome, it felt like I was being 'courted' by a company... which is a friggin' great feeling. So, I flew over there on Sunday, interviewed on Monday, and flew back today (Tuesday). Interview #1 - PrashAfter filling out a bit of paperwork, Prash came and got me, and took me to his office. Interview #2 - Mark The Lunch Interview So, I got a free lunch at the Expedia cafeteria... but, that didn't mean I wasn't getting more interviewing questions. Interview #3 - RyanMark and I actually talked for quite a while about my senior design project. Interview #4 - Mike(?) Wrap-up with Recruiter - KatyThen I went and talked with the recruiter about how the day went, yadda yadda. It was a long day. I've got a little interview with Deloitte on Thursday.
