I sort of liked the image-cropping one, but the opacity thing really makes my 3ghz p4 just peg out, and it doesn't go away. It was sitting there on 100% cpu until I closed that tab.Besides, I never see anything really clever with any of this... most of those are just useless fluff. Even my own stuff seems good by comparison. And has no one discovered the coolness that is AJAX+SVG?<a class="user" href="http://pdatabase.dyndns.biz/test16.php">http://pdatabase.dyndns.biz/test16.php</a>
No. That I would not be tired of. I am getting tire of 999 Ajax Tutorials, 123 Ajax Tutorials, etcYou get the picture - oh well. Guess the Monkey masses eat that s**t up.
Wow - this page is giving my ruby blog some serious traffic the past couple of days. My link is the second one on the page concerning how to set up ajax in process indicators in Ruby on Rails. Hasn't this already hit the front page of Digg at least once or twice?Hurray for Ajax!
Here's the last 'Ajax tutorial' I ever want to hear about. (WTF is Ajax, anyway?)Generously apply Ajax (cleanser) over stained area.Sprinkle a little water.Let sit for 10 minutes.Scrub with sponge.Rinse with water.Stain is gone!Inhale the toxic chlorine fumes.Die.
@Haplo:That article is irrelevant. You can learn to program fairly well in about two weeks, depending on the language. The link you posted says it takes ten years to become an EXPERT - which is not true. "Researchers (Hayes, Bloom) have shown it takes about ten years to develop expertise [...]"It depends on the language, person and will to learn; I learned PHP and everything that goes with it, such as security flaws/secure scripting, extensions, etc. in about two years, though it only took me about two weeks to learn the basics. I was able to write parsers and command-line programs in C after two weeks, as well.So, please, if you want to take ten years to learn a single language, be my guest.
