Editorial Review :
Of all the Ajax-specific frameworks that have popped up in recent years, one clearly stands out as the industrial strength solution. Dojo is not just another JavaScript toolkit -- it's the JavaScript toolkit -- and Dojo: The Definitive Guide demonstrates how to tame Dojo's extensive library of utilities so that you can build rich and responsive web applications like never before. Dojo founder Alex Russell gives a foreword that explains the "why" of Dojo and of this book.
Dojo provides an end-to-end solution for development in the browser, including everything from the core JavaScript library and turnkey widgets to build tools and a testing framework. Its vibrant open source community keeps adding to Dojo's arsenal, and this book provides an ideal companion to Dojo's official documentation.
Dojo: the Definitive Guide gives you the most thorough overview of this toolkit available, showing you everything from how to create complex layouts and form controls closely resembling those found in the most advanced desktop applications with stock widgets, to advanced JavaScript idioms to AJAX and advanced communication transports. With this definitive reference you get:
- Get a concise introduction to Dojo that's good for all 1.x versions
- Well-explained examples, with scores of tested code samples, that let you see Dojo in action
- A comprehensive reference to Dojo's standard JavaScript library (including fundamental utilities in Base, Dojo's tiny but powerful kernel) that you'll wonder how you ever lived without
- An extensive look at additional Core features, such as animations, drag-and-drop, back-button handling, animations like wipe and slide, and more
- Exhaustive coverage of out-of-the-box Dijits (Dojo widgets) as well as definitive coverage on how to create your own, either from scratch or building on existing ones
- An itemized inventory of DojoX subprojects, the build tools, and the DOH, Dojo's unit-testing framework that you can use with Dojo -- or anywhere else
If you're a DHTML-toting web developer, you need to read this book -- whether you're a one-person operation or part of an organization employing scores of developers. Dojo packs the standard JavaScript library you've always wanted, and Dojo: The Definitive Guide helps you transform your ideas into working applications quickly by leveraging design concepts you already know.

Editorial Review :
Free chapters and the book's code are available at CoreHTML5Canvas.com
One of HTML5's most exciting features, Canvas provides a powerful 2D graphics API that lets you implement everything from word processors to video games. In Core HTML5 Canvas, best-selling author David Geary presents a code-fueled, no-nonsense deep dive into that API, covering everything you need to know to implement rich and consistent web applications that run on a wide variety of operating systems and devices.
Succinctly and clearly written, this book examines dozens of real-world uses of the Canvas API, such as interactively drawing and manipulating shapes, saving and restoring the drawing surface to temporarily draw shapes and text, and implementing text controls. You'll see how to keep your applications responsive with web workers when you filter images, how to implement smooth animations, and how to create layered, 3D scrolling backgrounds with parallax. In addition, you'll see how to implement video games with extensive coverage of sprites, physics, collision detection, and the implementation of a game engine and an industrial-strength pinball game. The book concludes by showing you how to implement Canvas-based controls that you can use in any HTML5 application and how to use Canvas on mobile devices, including iOS5. This authoritative Canvas reference covers
The canvas element--using it with other HTML elements, handling events, printing a canvas, and using offscreen canvases Shapes--drawing, dragging, erasing, and editing lines, arcs, circles, curves, and polygons; using shadows, gradients, and patterns Text--drawing, positioning, setting font properties; building text controls Images--drawing, scaling, clipping, processing, and animating Animations--creating smooth, efficient, and portable animations Sprites--implementing animated objects that have painters and behaviors Physics--modeling physical systems (falling bodies, pendulums, and projectiles), and implementing tweening for nonlinear motion and animation Collision detection--advanced techniques, clearly explained Game development--all aspects of game development, such as time-based motion and high score support, implemented in a game engine Custom controls--infrastructure for implementing custom controls; implementing progress bars, sliders, and an image panner Mobile applications--fitting Canvas apps on a mobile screen, using media queries, handling touch events, and specifying iOS5 artifacts, such as app icons
Throughout the book, Geary discusses high-quality, reusable code to help professional developers learn everything they really need to know, with no unnecessary verbiage. All of the book's code and live demonstrations of key techniques are available at CoreHTML5Canvas.com.

Editorial Review :
Websites like MapQuest and Google Maps have transformed the way we think about maps. But these services do more than offer driving directions—they provide APIs that web developers can use to build highly customized map-based applications. In Map Scripting 101, author Adam DuVander delivers 73 immediately useful scripts that will show you how to create interactive maps and mashups. You'll build tools like a local concert tracker, a real-time weather map, a Twitter friend-finder, an annotated map of Central Park, and much more. And because the book is based on the cross-platform Mapstraction JavaScript library, everything you create will be able to use nearly any mapping service, including OpenStreetMap, MapQuest, Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. You'll also learn how to: - Create, embed, and manipulate basic maps by setting zoom levels and map boundaries
- Show, hide, and filter location markers and info-bubbles
- Customize your maps for visitors based on their location
- Use common data formats like GPS XML, Google Earth's KML, and GeoRSS
- Create graphical overlays on maps to better analyze data and trends
- Use freely available geodata from websites like Yelp and Upcoming—and public domain geodata from the US government
Map Scripting 101 is perfect for any web developer getting started with map scripting, whether you want to track earthquakes around the world, or just mark the best coffee shops in Dubuque. Customer Review :

Question : What is general rule for the decreased value of a repaired sinkhole home?
Does anyone know if there is a general % point? Example: your home is now worth 25% less then others in the area due to the repaired sinkhole. I'm looking to get an idea to see if re-sale is even possible.
Answer:
I doubt there is a general percentage. I imagine the size of the sinkhole and the severity of the damage would undoubtedly factor in.

Question : In general, would the admissions officers and George Washington University itself support gay rights?
I want to write about gay rights for an admissions essay, but i am unsure about the university's view on gay rights. Does anyone know whether the university in general AND the admissions officers support or oppose gay rights?
Answer:
There is no reliable way for anyone to tell you whether this topic would help or hurt you.Technically, it would be illegal for the University to downgrade your application by bias against the political content.That said, there typically never would be a way to prove that a negative appraisal was due to bias.So, it's up to you to decide.You might just go ahead on the concept that if any University turned you down due to bias against the content of your speech wouldn't you be better off getting your higher education elsewhere?Good Luck!

Question : What general objection can you use in a divorce case set for the day of trial?
What general objection can you use in responses to request for production of documents for a divorce case set for the day of trial? Where can you find a list of such objections? If there are about 800-1000 pages of papers involved such as banking statements, brokerage house statements for many years, should you make all the copys for the court and for the other party, or just bring the original documents to the court at the date of the trial?
Answer:
oh my goodness - you need to speak to an attorney... there is no general objection you can make... it's evidence and if it exists you have to get it. you generally bring 3 copies - one for the court, one for you, and one for the other party.

Question : What is the general shape of a variation function?
When you are using regressions, you need to know the general shape of the function. What is the general shape and how can you tell the difference between a variation function and an exponential function?
Answer:
A direct variation function has a straight line for its graph, passing through the origin. An inverse variation has a hyperbola for its graph. Exponential function graphs assuming no translations pass through (0,1) since anything to the 0 power is 1. They either start low and curve higher or start high and curve lower

Question : What is the general difference in sea level for high and low tides?
I assume (based on general ignorance and forgetfulness) that high and low tides are generally steady in their respective levels and that their absolute levels are cyclical, based on lunar position.What is the average difference in average high and low tides and what is the absolute difference in the lowest low and the highest high tide?What is the general speed of tidal change and what is the general flow rate of tides on, either (or both) pacific or atlantic oceans?Thanks!
Answer:
It depends on the latitude and the morphology of the local sea floor and shoreline. In the Arctic Ocean the tidal range is less than 0.8 meters in some areas. Here is a map of tidal range for the Arctic Ocean:http://fvcom.smast.umassd.edu/research_projects/ArcticGlobalM/images/arctic_bathy_image.jpgThe highest tide on earth is near Wolfville in Nova Scotia (Bay of Fundy). The difference between high and low tide levels is as much as 16 meters (52.5 feet).http://museum.gov.ns.ca/fossils/protect/tides.htmKeep in mind that the moon is not the only force that creates the tides. The sun also plays a role, so when the sun and moon have gravitational pull in the same alignment, there will be higher and lower tides. Tides are very predictable based on the cycles created by the rotation of the moon around the earth and the earth's rotational position relative to the sun. It is very difficult to answer your question about average differences, since this cannot be easily quantified in order to average it. Tidal height charts and reporting for much of the world:http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide/Tidal cycles are of three types: semidiurnal (two high, two low per day), diurnal (one high and one low per day) and mixed tides with a higher high tide, a medium high tide, and a lowest and higher low tide each day. Examples are: Semidiurnal tides are found along the east coast of Florida; Diurnal tides are found along the Gulf Coast of Florida west of Apalachicola; Mixed tides are found from the Florida Keys to Apalachicola. The absolute lowest tides by National Ocean Service definition, are 0.1 feet, since anything with less than this is not defined as a tide. Tides must be at least two hours apart to be considered as a tide by this same definition. See: http://data.labins.org/2003/SurveyData/WaterBoundary/MHW/documents/2typeoftide.pdfTidal cycles repeat over a 24 hour 50 minute period, with a full cycle variation of 18.6 years based on the declination of the moon. As for speed: (I quote) "An idealized tidal wave would move across Earth at 1,600 kilometers per hour (1,000 miles per hour) at the equator. Because tides are an extreme example of a shallow-water wave, friction with the ocean floor slows tides to a speed of about 700 kilometers per hour (435 miles per hour)." from http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/St-Ts/Tides.html

Question : Can you clarify the difference between "general" and "clinical" population and why a difference exists?
I am reading a statistic that reads"Lifetime prevalence is estimated at 1% in the general population and 2% to 16% in clinical populations"I understand the difference between the 1% general population estimation and the 2% to 16%, but I can't understand how this figure is reached or why the general population estimate is 'less' than the clinical one. Why would these two differ? Are the clinical studies not meant to represent the general population unless otherwise noted? How would one arrive at the answer of what the general population estimate would be and how could it be less?
Answer:
I imagine general population refers to everybody in the country while clinical population refers to those with symptoms.For example; I might say the prevalence of diabetes in the general population is 2% but in the clinical population (ie. those that experience symptoms of diabetes) the prevalence is 15%. This is then basically saying that 85% of people experiencing diabetes symptoms don't actually have the disease.Statistics for general population are gotten by randomly testing a sample size of all races, sexes, ages etc, regardless of symptoms. Clinical population statistics are gathered by GPs who target patients experiencing the relevant symptoms and test them to get prevalence in a clinical population.When the word clinical is used in medicine it normally means symptomatic.
