Being a Successful I18N Leader JavaScript Library Comparisons www.XenCraft.com Abstract Which JavaScript library is best for international deployment? This session presents the results of an investigation of the features of several JavaScript libraries and their suitability for international markets. We will show how the libraries were evaluated and compare the results for at least: Dojo, JQuery, and YUI. The results may surprise you and will be Comparing JavaScript Libraries useful to anyone designing new international or multilingual JavaScript applications or supporting existing ones.

  • 1. the ZK User Interface Markup Language
    1. The ZK User Interface Markup Language The ZK User Interface Markup Language (ZUML) is based on XML. Each XML element describes what component to create. XML This section provides the most basic concepts of XML to work with ZK. If you are familiar with XML, you could skip this section. If you want to learn more, there are a lot of resources on Internet, such as http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_whatis.asp and http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/10/guide0.html. XML is a markup language much like HTML but with stricter and cleaner syntax. It has several characteristics worth to notice. Elements Must Be Well-formed First, each element must be closed. They are two ways to close an element as depicted below. They are equivalent. Close by an end tag: <window></window> Close without an end tag: <window/> Second, elements must be properly nested. Correct: <window> <groupbox> Hello World! </groupbox> </window> Wrong: <window> <groupbox> Hello World! </window> </groupbox> Special Character Must Be Replaced XML uses <element-name> to denote an element, so you have to replace special characters. For example, you have to use &lt; to represent the < character. ZK: Developer's Guide Page 1 of 92 Potix Corporation Special Character Replaced With < &lt; > &gt; & &amp; " &quot; ' &apos; It is interesting to notice that backslash (\) is not a special character, so you don't need to escape it at all. Attribute Values Must Be Specified and Quoted Correct: width="100%" checked="true" Wrong: width=100% checked Comments A comment is used to leave a note or to temporarily edit out a portion of XML code.

    A Report on the Webinar “Web development using Python” 01 April 2021 Organized by ‘Anacron’, Students association of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Akshaya College of Engineering and Technology A webinar, “Web development using Python” was organized by the students’ association, ‘Anacron’ of the department of Computer Science and Engineering, on 1-4-21. A brief report of the same is given below. WELCOME ADDRESS: Welcome address was given by Dr. N. Rajkumar, HOD/CSE, ACET. INTRODUCTION OF CHIEF GUEST Ms. J. Rajichellam completed her UG degree B.E CSE in Madurai Institute of Engineering and Technology. She is having certificates of proficiency in C, C++, HTML5, CSS, Javascript, Jquery, etc.,. She is having more than 6 years of industrial experience and currently working as Technical trainer in Elysium Academy. CHIEF GUEST PRESENTATION: Ms. J. Rajichellam started her presentation with a brief note about the future for Web development using python and then explained about the career opportunities in Python. She also explained as to why students should be well versed in python. She also urged the students to have a goal for their career and for that they should envisage a plan. She opined that without a plan they can’t achieve success. She said, Web development is an umbrella term for conceptualizing, creating, deploying and operating web applications and application programming interfaces for the web. She basically gave explanation for three topics. 1. Why is web development important? The web has grown a mindboggling amount in the number of sites, users and implementation capabilities since the first website went live in 1989.
