IFE - A Charity to promote the message of PEACE.

For the past few months, I have been very busy devoting my personal time, to IFe. IFe stands for Islam Festival Edinburgh, and its an initiative to promote the message of ISLAM which stands for PEACE that is so misunderstood by the world today and linked to terrorism & violence, which is not what it is really all about. I have been questioned by my peers @ work of what ISLAM is , and what  the QURAN all about. To them, I invite you to go to www.islamfestival.com and DISCOVER ISLAM. In religion, BELIEF comes first , than rationalising it. In maths / science, PROVABLE facts, come first then a CONCLUSION, to support the HYPOTHESIS. If today, blue-tooth and WI-FI technology does exist and mp3/images/documents can be downloaded, then surely- why is it so hard to believe that more than 1400 years ago , there was a way for GOD's word which comprises of the Holy Quran to be downloaded to a very human prophet. And if versions in software and the need of upgrades do exist, so from an

Meet George Jetson, his boy Elroy, his daughter Judie, Jane - his wife.... Yes , in the 1960's came this cartoon, and during my growing up years, I was fascinated by the technology of VIDEO calls (which is now a reality) , flat TV's and touch screen computer that interacts with the user ... to name a few, and still an AI robot is yet to come ... Hence for the digital inspiration, I take my hats off to Mr. Hannah & Barbera, for their vision of the future , a peek into the `year -2062' , about 50 years ago, long before anyone thought it was imaginable , let alone possible....

Thinking about Forms and Usability...

Notes from the book - Forms that work: Designing Web Forms for Usability by Caroline Garret There is a theory to think about when designing FORMS ! The theory is of the three layers of the form: Relationship, Conversation, and Appearance . The relationship of a form is the relationship between the organization that is asking the questions and the person who is answering. - Pursuading people to answer.    - Pick the right moment to ask a question.    - Three rules that infl uence response rates          - Rule 1: Establish trust.               1. Show that the form is published by a real organization.               2. Make it easy to contact the organization that publishes the form.               3. Ensure that the form has a clear purpose.               4. Make sure that the form looks as if it has been designed by a professional.               5. Keep advertising away from the form.               6. Check that the form works correctly: no defects, no typographical err

Notes about differences between Java and JavaScript

Dynamic binding VS Static binding JavaScript features DYNAMIC binding, so all object references are checked at run time. Java, on the other hand, is based on STATIC binding, meaning that all object references must exist and be valid at compile time. However, an object-oriented language may require dynamic method bindings because polymorphism allows multiple definitions of methods sharing a common name, and calling such polymorphic methods often cannot be resolved until run time. The most obvious reason for this difference is that JavaScript is NOT compiled, so checking object references at compile time has no meaning. Object-oriented VS Object-based JavaScript is based on a simple object-oriented paradigm. This paradigm is often called object based, as opposed to object oriented. If you are used to a truly object-oriented language such as C#, Java, or C++, you will find much of that functionality is missing in JavaScript. For example, classes do not exist in JavaScript (all objects
