Introduction to jQuery, from MicrosoftLearningExperiences

jQuery 101: Learn exactly what jQuery is and why you've heard so much about it. Explore considerations, such as when to take jQuery as a dependency and how to include it locally or via a CDN, and find out about the history and contributors to this very popular JavaScript library.​


Selection: Arguably the most powerful offering of jQuery over raw JavaScript, at least in the early days, was its ability to select one or more DOM elements using the popular CSS syntax. Take a look at this feature and how you can use it to select exactly what you need to manipulate.


Manipulating the DOM: Learn about selecting the elements you need, and see how to manipulate them.​


Events: One of the other super helpful features of jQuery is its provision for event handling. See how to tie your code up to user events so that the right thing happens at the right time.​


Effects: Effects give jQuery-enabled apps a little bit of jazz. Get the details on effects, like fades, slides, and other animations.​


Ajax and Async: Modern web apps don't just do a fetch and then sit there. There are often a lot of behind-the-scenes calls to web services and other online content. Take a look at how jQuery covers this case.​


Libraries: jQuery is obviously not the only library out there and may not be the right tool for the job. If you're wondering whether you should use it and curious about what other libraries it works well with, be sure to check out this module.​​

Microsoft Project Siena, create Windows 8.x app without any programming

Microsoft Project Siena
Microsoft Project Siena (code name) is the beta release of a new technology for business experts, business analysts, consultants and other app imagineers. Now, without any programming, you can create powerful apps for the device-first and cloud-connected world, with the potential to transform today’s business processes.

• Apps to explore media-rich product catalogs and create ensembles that together serve a customer’s needs
• Apps used on the spot to resolve customer service bottlenecks and logistics exceptions, with the custom intelligence to help the user make local trade-offs
• Apps for auditing and inspecting a manufacturing facility through photos, videos and pen and voice notes, all tied to an asset database

Siena apps are as easy as editing a document. You place some visuals on a canvas. You hook them up to your data. You customize how your app looks and works. Then, if you need special logic and intelligence, you write some Excel-like expressions. You can use your app immediately, or share it with colleagues or the world.

With Siena, you can conceptualize, validate and build your app ideas almost as fast as you can come up with them. And if your needs change tomorrow, updating your app is no problem. Open it. Change it. Share it again, and you’re off to do business.

Siena works well with corporate and web data and media content: SharePoint lists, Excel and Azure tables, RSS feeds and the gamut of RESTful services.

Siena apps are just HTML5 and JavaScript and are deployed and managed like any other Windows 8.x app. In fact, developers can open them up, see what’s there and, if needed, extend them in their favorite programming tools.

Install Siena, watch one of the how-to videos at http://aka.ms/ProjectSiena, and then build the app that you’ve been imagining... in under an hour.

  • Conceptualize, validate and build your app ideas as easily as editing a document
  • Connect to corporate and web data
  • Compose rich interactive visuals to create custom, unique apps
  • Add business logic and intelligence using the power of Excel-like expressions
  • Use the app yourself, share with colleagues or with the world

FREE eBook from Microsoft: Developing Modern Mobile Web Apps



Developing Modern Mobile Web Apps

This project provides guidance on building mobile web experiences using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Developing web apps for mobile browsers can be less forgiving than developing for desktop browsers. There are issues of screen size, the availability of specific feature support, and other differences between mobile browsers that will impact how you develop your apps. In addition, there are various levels of support for the emerging standards of HTML5 and CSS3, and standards for some features, such as touch, are just beginning to take shape. All of these factors suggest that it is best to keep your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as simple as you can in order to ensure compatibility with as many devices as possible. This project illustrates how to do this, as well as how to add more advanced functionality where supported.

Applies to: ASP.NET MVC 4, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript
Source: MSDN Library (patterns & practices)

E-book publication date: June 2012
