Is jQuery the next big thing for APEX? If so, where do I start?

Hi Folks
I have been looking to get my APEX application to have a highly polished look and feel.
Having looked at different options, plug-ins etc. I get the impression that using the functionality of jQuery will really help me to acheive this.
What I want to know is...
Does the APEX community agree that it is worth investing time getting up to speed with jQuery?
What resources would you recommend for a jQuery newbie? (books preferrably as I'm old school like that)
Thanks in advance
Simon Gadd

Book to look at: [Learning jQuery 1.3 (Packt Publishing)|https://www.packtpub.com/learning-jquery-1.3/book] .
And also: [jQuery UI 1.7: The User Interface Library for jQuery (Packt Publishing)|https://www.packtpub.com/user-interface-library-for-jquery-ui-1-7/book] because APEX 4 is also using the jQuery UI libraries.

  • Graphical glitch with The Next Big Thing

    I have a graphical glitch whilst playing The Next Big Thing. The character keeps disappearing or 'flashing' on/off. It's quite annoying and I don't know what to do.
    There doesn't seem to be any ways of adjusting the graphics, probably because it's a 2D game.
    I went through the apple support but I only get two choices. Either schedule a call or ring them myself later. I can't do either because I'm working abroad and don't have access to a phone.

    For that kind of fix you can use the Report a Problem link in your receipt or the Purhases section of your iTunes account.

  • Conversion of Flash to the next big thing...HTML5??

    I have a lot Flash animations and tutorials with lots of buttons for navigation, text boxes for user input, and a lot of ActionScript 3 code. You can see what I've done at http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_animations.htm and  http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Tutorials.htm. I have Flash CS6.
    Every once in awhile I search the Net for information about how to convert my animations to something that will work on iPads. I did that again today, and I'm once again confused. I tried Swiffy, but many of my files are too big or have code it doesn't recognize. What are people doing for this? What's the next thing for animations like mine? Is it HTML5 for sure? Will HTML5 do what my animations and tutorials do? 
    Thanks for the help

    You can get a Developer Certificate and the Provisioning Profiles by signing up (and paying) to become an Apple Developer at https://developer.apple.com
    You can distribute AIR apps outside of iTunes by using a type of Provisioning Profile called "Ad Hoc" which limits you to distributing up to 100 devices, all of which you must have the serial number of.
    You can add the serial numbers of up to 100 devices in your dev account and then create a Provisioning Profile that only allows installation on those devices. You then send out the app and the profile to users who add the two files to their iTunes app and in turn connect their device to iTunes via USB and install the app.
    Ad Hoc distribution is for testing purposes rather than bypassing the App Store!

  • So iWeb is dead? what is the next best thing for a beginner?

    Hi Guys,
    I have my new Mac and i want to build my first website....with iWeb dead, what is the next best web builder for a beginner like me...? I want to creat a blog add the odd photo and link to my twitter page. Thats about it.....any suggestions?
    Many thanks
    Ian

    Are you saying that you have an iWeb blog hosted on a 3rd party ftp server which allows visitors to add comments? That would be a first since the following has always been part of iWeb's Help file:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    The following is a screenshot of  iWeb Help on publishing to an ftp server:
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two feature will be broken.

  • Scala - The next big thing

    Hello, friends!
    I tell you what the main flaw in Java is: it is not functional.
    I tell you functional and object oriented programming languages, like Scala, will be the next generation of programming languages.
    I tell you what language will substitute Java: Scala (http://www.scala-lang.org/).
    Cheers!

    First, I basically said that yes, it's possbile to use Java APIs in Scala. What I meant by the question is that it would be nice to have the APIs written in Scala (and sure you have some purely Scala APIs) and since you're so eager to promote it, you could do that, not? :-D

  • The next big thing...lets make our own!

    with the introduction of the n90 we saw a move into a new technological era soon the n90 was followed by other nseries devices the introduction of the n80 saw a huge wave of interest and also advances in functionality now we have the n95 which to me is the successor of the n80 my question is whats next?
    I want to use this post to see what we the users hope to get next features and design here is what i want to deal with
    Design: flip bar slide dual slide twist(n93) communicator-what design should be used?
    Interface: tap/keypad touchscreen(p990) with qwerty full touchscreen(lg prada)-what interface should be used?
    Memory: what should the internal memory be? Should a memory card slot be included? What is the max memory should the phone be capable of?
    Dimensions(dependant on form factor)
    Included Applications(msn messenger? File browser? Maybe a document viewer and editor?)
    Features: what features should be standard? What new features should be included?
    Here is my opinion: twist keypad internal 1gb external up to 8gb with ability to increase via fw updates standard features gps camera main and secondary bluetooth with a2dp irda upnp wifi (all connectivity) high speed 3g basically dont leave anything out that we already have! But improve on them!
    New features- really I DONT know what next i would like to see included on a mobile! Maybe full screen caller and when i exit the camera app and return to it it shouldnt go back to the default but my user settings should remain real full web browsing as i would on my pc including flash sites
    Please add to this post in the same format as i have

    Possible More Advanced Features:
    a bit more Efficient Akkulifetime.
    8Mpix CMOS Camera Sensor NEC.

    Reduces Image JPG Compression the aquire Better
    Image Quality Space shouldnt be a Problem with bigger
    Memorycards.
    8-12 GB microSDHC Support
    640x480 Displayresolution LowPowerConsuming Touchdisplay
    like iPhone for Natural Mouselike Usage without DigitalPen like Windows Mobile Phones.
    OLED currently too Expensive.

    More Advanced Gaming Abilitys but its not a Must
    Phones with more Batterylifetime and Multimedia Features are better as a Mobile Gaming Device for that one you could play at home with your console.
    http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbugencontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12700&contentI...
    So a Synergy Device like the N95 is the Right Way to
    Replace Many Devices NAVISystem IPOD MP3Player PDA FMRadio WLANDevice to integrate them into One.
    I Personally like it to have one Device with the Ability
    to do everything you need spontaneous e.g. VideoRecording of Funny Familymoments etc.
    a More Advanced GPS Chip with also Lower Powerconsumption.
    GPS: NaviLink 5.0 Solution: NL5350
    http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12776&cont...
    Support for the freecost DVB-T in Germany not DVB-H for which you have to pay (mobile Datatrafficcosts)
    Better VideoRecording with efficient Digital Imagestabilisation not mechanical one its to Space Consuming.
    some more WorkMemory and reduced memoryleaks are also a
    wish to have a device that works stable with multiple open
    applications at a time NAVigation Mail TelephoneApp in Syncronous parallel Usage if needed.
    For Reduced Power Consumption it would be also interessing
    if the Device is able to automaticlly switch poweroff dynamic parts in the system if they are not in Use and if they are needed to microboot this function into the running
    base OS System. So a System that reacts automatic on that
    what the user currently needs in a active Status.

  • Waiting for the next big FCP upgrade

    Locked by an Apple Discussions Host

    I need to upgrade to FCP 5, I have v4.5.
    The $200 price tag is really great.
    I usually leapfrog and get every other version.
    The $50 crossgrade will be available by end of March.
    I'd like to get it but my question is......
    when did the last big version of FCP come out and when in the next big one due, I'd like to wait and get that one. Do you think there is a version 5.1 or 5.5 to be released this summer or by the end of the year.
    what should I do with all my old versions of FCP, just through them in the trash, too many big honkin boxes accumulating.
    thanks.

    then I bought v4.5 upgrade (came in a big black box)
    did you buy the production suite version (with Motion and DVDSP)?
    The $200 price tag is really great.
    The $50 crossgrade will be available by end of March.
    uhhh the only one you need is the 199 one
    it is an upgrade to STUDIO UNIVERSAL
    it IS the crossgrade and upgrade in 1

  • Physically disable wi-fi & bluetooth or the next best thing

    We have updated our Mac Pro towers and on the old towers I was able to open up the tower and disconnect  the airport and bluetooth cards. I don't see any option for doing that on our newer 12-core units, or am I missing something?
    If I can't unplug Airport and Bluetooth, what is the next best thing?
    I have tried terminal commands    sudo ifconfig en2 down              but that's the same as selecting Turn Wi-Fi Off and a user can simply select Turn Wi-Fi on.
    For now I have turned wi-fi and bluetooth off and removed them from the network menu which is pretty good, but someone can probably easily press + on the network prefs page and be back online, so I'm looking for a little more security that what I've done to remove possible outside connections.
    (FYI: please don't ask why, this is a security measure and we only want clients to access the local network FTP server to send files to the outside world. This has saved the company a few times from blame as files need to physically leave our system or go thru the FTP server)

    a user can simply select Turn Wi-Fi on
    Instead of deleting, use the gear Icon and choose "Make Service Inactive"
    This appears to require Admin access to make unlock the lock to make active again.

  • I want to play an Elder Scrolls game on my iPad.  What's the next best thing?

    You know, like Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim.  A full on rpg.  I would settle for something with a similar feel to it, a science fiction setting might even be ok.  If I can't play an Elder Scrolls game on my ipad, what's the next best thing?
    Thank you.

    A fair number of folks ask here for certain types of apps. In you search the app store you will get at least a couple that look like rpg games.  But the form factor is not real good.     Rage hd would give you a feel for  what tou and cannout get on tablet.   Pretty good graphics, pretty rough controls.

  • HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed.  Today I can't access a document in Pages.  A prompt says I need a Pages update.  But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date.  What's up?

    Yesterday this was automatically installed.  Today I can't access a document in Pages.  A prompt says I need a Pages update.  But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date.  What's up?

    It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.

  • When is the next release/update for iPhone iOS.5 ? (concerning SIRI)?

    Hi,
    Given that Siri is in beta, when does Apple plan to update us with a proper version with the bugs ironed out?
    Are they going to remove the annoying design of Siri that requires an internet connection to ask it the local system time?
    If anyone has any news on this, please let me know.

  • Cannot read the next data row for the data set

    Hi,
    My report runs fine when I view in VS, data shows fine when I run the query in the data window, but when I publish it to the server, I get the above error. I am running SQL server 2005 RTM and I have re-deployed the entire solution.
    Any ideas?

    Hi All,
    Upon investigation found that there was an issue with converting varchar value to datatime datatype in Stored Procedure and that is why report was throwing error.
    I ran same report in BIDS and got clear error message
    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
    Cannot read the next data row for the dataset xxx. (rsErrorReadingNextDataRow)
    The conversion of a varchar datatype to a datetime datatype resulted in an out-of-range value
    Once I corrected this, It is working fine.
    Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

  • What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    10.5.8 is the last free update available for your system. If you wish to upgrade to newer versions of Mac OS X, you will first need to purchase and install a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available.
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, you then will have the option to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, if you wish to do so and your system will support it.
    Regards.
