RIGHT NOW.
Why are there no awesome javascript-y forums? I like the Channel9 ones, but they are buggy (sorry, usually I love M$ junk).
This is a huge market. Get on with your bad self, independent developer!
Honestly, there is never a reason for a full page load when navigating an individual forum. You will see on my site the need for new pages is slim. I may have gone overboard, lol. I overzealously avoid postbacks (though, JS nazis like BillRob may disagree)
I commented my code tonight (rare - in good practice as we all know I believe) and this is what it looked like:
//only return classifieds that are active and <45 days old
//THIS IS WRITTEN LIKE GARBAGE
Thus illustrating yet again how comments are only needed when your code is pooly written and therefore wouldn't make sense to someone else quickly.
That's it, it's 1am and I still have a TEENY bit of work to do.
Note: upon beating said horse until dead with pragmatic friend I do not agree with sentence one of principle 5. I also don't buy into the docterine of Buddhism, nor do I believe that these words generally reflect Buddhism, or that they don't for that matter.
Hey Sara - Have you checked out stackoverflow.com? It's not js-specific, but it's a nice forum to discuss any language.
ReplyDeleteAlvin
Has she checked stackoverflow... you must be new here ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy write something that is already written unless it needs improvement?
ReplyDeleteWhy write another UserVoice there is already one out there?
Why write another Forum software when YetAnotherForum has an amazing user base and does a very good job at Forum software.
Why write another BlogEngine when someone has already taken up the call?
Forums are great, but YetAnotherForum is a great forum software.
When I already have something thats well maintained why create another?
@Scott I think she wants an Ajax enabled forum not just a good piece of forum software...
ReplyDelete@Alvin Stack isn't a forum, it's a Q and A site...
The comment reminds me of one I wrote many years ago....
ReplyDelete// inCREDibly hack to get this to work
blah --blah -- code -blah
// OK, you can look now.
As for principle #5, it seems to reflect the belief (which is still rather hard to shake, particularly among Republicans) that wealth is a zero-sum game: For me to win, you must lose; for me to be wealthy, you must be poor. Virtually every bad economic and foreign policy decision can be traced to that belief.
Ok, Gravatar test. I used an uppercase C in my last message. Let's see if it come out right when it's all lowercase.
ReplyDelete@Wes - Alvin is a GD origional gangster GD reader, since BSO (before stack overflow)
ReplyDelete@James, I agree with your viewpoint.
hey, very inspiring for creating a new forum :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any GWT based forum/blog
It is anyway difficult to make it because as everything becomes ajax-y, things for indexers becomes problematic.
Also targeted ads wont really work well, of course, it depends on how you make it, but in general, as the website becomes more application-like you solve some problems but find others.
i want to say very thank you for this great informations. now i understand about it.

ReplyDeleteYou're kidding about the comments thing right?
ReplyDeleteNo one can be a truly objective self-critic, but I've been writing software for *cough* years now, and all external assessment seems thumbs up as to quality. But I practically paint my code with comments. They're easy to filter out (even to my colorblind eyes) but when someone else looks at my code for the first time or I look at it again a year later, the comments vastly decrease ramp up time.
I've noted there are two different types of developers: those who excel at math and those who excel at language. (There's a third camp who excel at both, but we ship them off to a small island in the Pacific where they can't threaten us.) I'm decidedly in the latter camp. Don't get me wrong, I can do the math thing, but it's the beauty of the expression in code that I love, and part of that for me anyway is prose that explains in human terms what I'm also explaining in machine terms.
Most people I know struggled with theory but did fine with discrete math. I was the exact opposite-- I just breezed through theory. Maybe I'm just strange. :)
I don�t know If I said it already but this so good stuff keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part just wanted to make a quick comment to say I�m glad I found your blog. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSome very interesting points but i think your research and bias leaves a lot to be desired.
ReplyDeleteThen of course, that�s just my opinion. Have a great day definitely a thought-provoking post!
ReplyDeleteI read blogs on a similar topic, but i never visited your blog. I added it to favorites and i'll be your constant reader.
ReplyDeleteLet's start working now
ReplyDeletethank you for your advise ,the pictures very nice , , like the website ,,
