Time management !!!

Yesterday, attended my first lecture on Time Management as part of my E-MBA course.

The crux of the matter was to able to save 20 minutes of quality time a day.

Some sample equation...

20 minutes a day
600 minutes a month
7200 minutes a year. i.e 120 hours a year..

For 25 years + more of life time you have got 3000 hours of more time which you can utilise to achieve your life goals..

To manage time ==> is to manage self.
And self management requires some discipline which is not developed overnight.
Patience and practice is required...

More to come...

JavaScript Scope

In this blog post we will dig deeper into various aspects of JavaScript scope.  This is a pretty interesting topic  and also a topic which confuses many beginning JavaScript programmers. Understanding JavaScript scope helps you write bug free programs (hmm.. atleast helps your troubleshoot things easily) Scope control the visibility and lifetimes of variables and parameters.  This is important from the perspective of avoiding naming collisions and provides memory management service. Unlike other languages, JavaScript does not have block level scope.  For e.g. take for instance the following piece of c# code. public void Main () { int a = 5; if (true) { int b = 10; } // This will throw compile time error as b is not defined // and not within the scope of function Main(); Console.WriteLine(b); } If you write the same code in JavaScript, then the value of 'b' will be available outside the 'if' block. The reason for this is JavaScript does no...

JavaScript Function Spaghetti Code

In this post we will have a look at the spaghetti code created by functions and how to avoid them. First lets quickly go through why this is a cause of concern. Problems with Function Spaghetti Code Variables/ functions are added to the global scope The code is not modular There's potential for duplicate function names Difficult to maintain No namespace sense. Let's take for example the following set of functions and check whats the issue with them. // file1.js function saveState(obj) {     // write code here to saveState of some object     alert('file1 saveState'); } // file2.js (remote team or some third party scripts) function saveState(obj, obj2) {      // further code...     alert('file2 saveState"); } Now the problem here is if your application is using saveState() then the execution of saveState() which one to call is determined by the script loading.  The later script overrides same functions already defin...

Building a jQuery PPT like presentation - Part 1

This is more a video post and it covers how to build a simple PPT like presentation using jQuery. This is very elementary at this stage and we will incrementally add features to this. The first version is a very rough one and cover elementary ideas and proof of concept. Hope you like this. Do please note the video doesn't have any voice as I am still improving my recording skills (and also having a bad throat since couple of days). In any case, I do think action speaks louder that words.. (though this is just an excuse). The URL for the source code is at http://jsbin.com/ovaxop/edit#source
