This is my first article and video in my BlueMix series. BlueMix is an amazing platform where you can get a highly scalable solution up and running very quickly. Because there is so much to BlueMix, I figure I would start off with something simple but useful. A state storage and retrieval service. A simple REST... Continue Reading →
The next video in the Dojo series where I go through animating a mouse click with Dojo. The key functions used are the Dojo query and fx.animateProperty functions. Larry was pretty talkative in this one, he even answered me a couple of times. Click here for the JSFiddle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjIAmbvHVdY
Larry is definitely settling in on the perch with the green screen. I always have snacks in his bowls and he hasn't touched them much. I guess he decided to sit by and snack while we record. Continuing on from the previous video here we implement a moveto function in our simulator. There is one... Continue Reading →
This was a pretty funny video, Larry is definitely becoming more comfortable in front of the camera. He says a lot of new phrases and a couple of swears in this one. So this is the first part in a three part series where I essentially do the same thing I did in the jQuery... Continue Reading →
Love the fact that the for loops are now iterations in jQuery. The old way of doing loops like this: var $elements = $(".myclass"); for (var x=0; x< $elements.length; x++){ $elements[x].toggleClass("shadow); } Can now look like this in jQuery 3: var $elements = $(".myclass"); for (var element of $elements){ ...

This was the first time I recorded Larry at the same time I recorded myself doing a lesson. Let's just say he didn't say what I wanted him to say. Too many F-U's in this one. The good thing is he doesn't say the word, he actually says the letter F then the letter U.... Continue Reading →
In this video I demonstrate how you can simulate a cursor press using jQueries animate API in JSFiddle. By cube mate Larry made some announcements in this video and since he often speaks I decided to include him in some of them and translate what he is saying. He for some reason just keeps saying...

A followup to the last video, I take the same concepts as before but now I generalize the steps into a JSON array. The JSFiddle code then executes those actions in the array. In the code I show how to use a recursive function with the window.setTimeout call and ending the animation once the entire array... Continue Reading →
This video is about using jQuery and the animate API to move a graphic (cursor) from one location to a DIV, then simulating a click event on that DIV. This allows you to instrument tutorials within your web applications. Stay tuned for more on that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJAEvLB7AIA You can see the JSFiddle code below: Click here...

This video is about toggling classes using jQuery. Here I show how you can make a collapsable DIV by simply toggling a class using the jQuery API. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB_xUeb2WdI You can see the JSFiddle code below: //jsfiddle.net/codebylarry/7ceo7gvd/embedded/js,html,css,result/dark/
