Christmas is coming
The time has come. Christmas is coming – again. As you may know, I took a plane right after last Christmas. So 1 year anniversary is coming as well.
Anyway I can see that it’ll be totally different from last one. I have friends, and appointment at Friday night. Today, I was invited to Albert’s house to decorate the Christmas tree together and have a dinner, of course! As in Korea, we don’t decorate a tree in the house for Christmas, it’d be the second chance since I had done this in France 2 years ago. But definitely, it’s like the first time thing as I felt something new.
I was late today as usual, and they were ready to cook dumplings. In Korea, there’s an old saying that if you can make dumplings with good shape, then you can have a beautiful daughter. Of course, I did my best. I always do. And my friends, they are going to have so beautiful daughters in the future. I can tell by dumplings 
Dumpling was so delicious. And the chinese food Albert and Silvia brought was good, too. The problem was that I couldn’t eat much. You know, some people cannot eat when they stressed out for their stomach is in bad condition. Next step was harder. Right in front of me, there were lots of cookies that they baked today. I planned to be with them and learn how to bake cookies but I just missed live baking class today. OMG. I can’t wait for another year!
Dinner, deserts, decorating a tree, taking pictures.. Everything was warm and for me, it was real rest that I can take. Thank you, my friends.
Agile development is..
From process and tools to person and interaction(communication),
from documentation to working software,
from contract and negotiation to cooperation with customers,
from following the plan to reacting to the changes
There’s always something you have to do / have to abandon the other thing. Ignoring process and tools to save time is not an agile development. You have to interact and communicate instead. It’s simple.
Some kind of dumb clients and dumber managers don’t understand this simple statement.
And worse, they believe they are right. OMG.
List of agile methodologies for your information. Ability to what they are is not my point. Understand how to apply some to your team and what is the effect when you apply, or it’s gonna waste your time again!
- XP – Extreme Programming
- SCRUM
- Lean SW Development
- Dynamic System Development Method
- Feature Driven Development
- Crystal
- Adaptive SW Development
To make a money, internet company should have..
Contents or Services. – like, video in youTube, Searching service of google, portals.
Somebody to pay money – like, advertiser.
Somebody to make them pay – like, clients
All of above three elements.
The best way of learning
Definitely and clearly, I understand the best way of learning.
- Crazy about it – there’s nothing else to spend time with.
- Repeating it – until you feel it’s perfectly done.
- Covering more – learn more than you need to.
jQuery
http://jquery.com/
Recently, jQuery obtains good reputations as a light weight AJAX framework. Yes, it’s light. The thing is, the main framework itself is light and has simple basic functions. It seems like lack of enough functionalities. And jQuery presents lots of plugins working with/without jQuery itself. In result, you can combine jQuery framework and the other plugins which you need to use.
The main reason why I took a look at jQuery was for the project. It was one of the requirement from my client – to use jQuery. Why not?!
So, I’d like to give newbies here some useful resources – including instructions, other resources and practical comments.
jQuery Basics
To get it and set it to use, check this out. http://ui.jquery.com/download You can build your own jQuery framework by choosing components. Or, you can download whole package. Now, you know what to do. To use it, put this in your <head>
<script type=”text/javascript” charset=”UTF-8″ language=”javascript” src=”./scripts/jquery-1.2.6.js”></script>
Plugins
I used some plugins for my project.
- jquery.json-1.3.js
- jquery.ui.all.js
- jquery.layout.js
You can find more at http://plugins.jquery.com/ Again, I put this to my head.
<script type=”text/javascript” charset=”UTF-8″ language=”javascript” src=”./scripts/jquery.ui.all.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” charset=”UTF-8″ language=”javascript” src=”./scripts/jquery.layout.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” charset=”UTF-8″ language=”javascript” src=”./scripts/jquery.json-1.3.js”></script>
CSS Basics
I recommend you to take a look at this for CSS stuffs. http://ui.jquery.com/themeroller/ It will help you get CSS for jQuery components like Accordion, Dialog and etc. Still, you need to create and use your own CSS styles but this will reduce your .. work definitely – if you are going to use UI components that jQuery provides. It’s time to put this to <head>.
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”./css/jquery-ui-themeroller.css” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”./css/jquery-layout.css” />
I put the first one which is from tehmeroller and the second one is my own for layout things. You can find some for jqeury-layout plugin by googling.
Now you are ready to use jQuery and plugins. FYI, here’s some more links that may help you.
