It seems as if everyone uses a BlackBerry these days. But not everyone organizes their information in quite the same way. If you're going to build the programs that help people stay organized with BlackBerry devices, you need to understand the kinds of data types that users acquire, organize, and use to get through the day.

JavaScript is an online scripting language that is implemented and works directly with HTML pages. Similar to Flash and ActionScript, JavaScript brings a dynamic nature to web pages that does not require the page to change. Obviously, this functionality is very useful for a wide variety of reasons. JavaScript can make a developer’s life a lot easier in a lot of ways. On the other hand, the various down sides of implementing JavaScript are significant—sometimes too much so. Discuss (1)

An amazing breakthrough in artificial intelligence by MilePost GCC allows development to speed up 10x by employing learning techniques to become the first intelligent, open-source compiler.
Welcome to the final part of an eight-part series on building loader applications in PHP. In this part, we'll improve on the loader class we developed in the previous part by using certain specific functions from the Standard PHP Library (SPL).
Welcome to the seventh installment of an eight-part series on building loader applications in PHP. In this part, you will learn how to use the “spl_autoload(),” “spl_register()” and “spl_register()” functions to build a small file loader class. This class will be able to perform recursive searches through the file system to find a targeted resource.
Flex 3.0 offers a strong foundation of user interface (UI) controls by which users can harness a great deal of power to create beautiful UIs without having to toil in the details of low level functionality. Of these controls, the DataGrid sets itself apart by offering characteristics similar to a list or tree control (which are also listBase controls), but going further to offer an easy way of displaying columnar data without a complicated interface. In this article, I focus on creating a basic DataGrid and populating it with XML data by using only MXML tags.
