Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Demos Grid The Grid widget displays tabular data and offers rich support for interacting with data; including paging, sorting, grouping, and selection. Scheduler The Scheduler allows users to create and manage single or recurring tasks in day, week, month and custom views. Supports touch, mouse, and keyboard. Editor Introduction to Raphaël.js Introduction SVG, short for Scalable Vector Graphics, is a XML-based language for describing objects and scenes. SVG elements can fire events and can be scripted with JavaScript. SVG comes with several built-in primitive types such as circles and rectangles as well as being able to display text. While SVG as a technology is not new, HTML5 now enables SVG objects to be embedded in a page directly without the use of a <object> or <embed> tag bringing it in line with what is currently available with the canvas. Raphaël.js is a JavaScript library that allows you to create SVG scenes programmatically.
RechargeIT.org RechargeIT was launched in 2007 as an effort within Google.org to demonstrate plug-in electric vehicle (EV) technology and accelerate its adoption. With several new EV’s now available in the marketplace, we’ve retired the RechargeIT initiative. In fact, we’ve updated our EV infrastructure to include more than 30 of the newest plug-in vehicles as part of our employee car sharing service, Gfleet.

Autoprefixer: A Postprocessor for Dealing with Vendor Prefixes in the Best Possible Way By Andrey Sitnik On The following is a guest post by Andrey Sitnik, the creator of the Autoprefixer tool, a "postprocessor" for handling vendor prefixes in CSS. Why use this instead of your preprocessor or another tool? Many reasons. Andrey will explain. Autoprefixer parses CSS files and adds vendor prefixes to CSS rules using the Can I Use database to determine which prefixes are needed.
Using OAuthWebSecurity without SimpleMembership « brockallen I’ve been researching the new support in ASP.NET for OAuth and OpenID authentication. It provides a nice and easy to use wrapper on DotNetOpenAuth. The main APIs are on the OAuthWebSecurity class and they provide methods to authenticate against your OAuth and OpenID providers as well as associate those OAuth and OpenID accounts to an account with your local membership provider (and strictly speaking your simple membership provider). Personally, I dislike the coupling between the authentication piece and the persistence piece. Fortunately this API can still be used without using providers. The main APIs to be aware of are:
jQuery throttle / debounce: Sometimes, less is more! jQuery throttle / debounce allows you to rate-limit your functions in multiple useful ways. Passing a delay and callback to $.throttle returns a new function that will execute no more than once every delay milliseconds. Passing a delay and callback to $.debounce returns a new function that will execute only once, coalescing multiple sequential calls into a single execution at either the very beginning or end.
RE<C - A Google.org Project to Develop Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources Our approach to RE<C Through RE<C, we made several investments in companies working on potentially breakthrough technologies. For instance, we invested in companies like Brightsource Energy and eSolar to help expand their work on concentrating solar power technology, and in Potter Drilling to advance its innovative geothermal drilling technology. And we've also sponsored research to develop the most state of the art Geothermal Map of the US, helping better understand the potential for geothermal energy to provide renewable power that’s always available. And we’ve had an engineering team working to improve a type of concentrating solar power technology called the solar power tower. CSScomb: Sorting CSS Properties, The Better Way This is our seventh article in a series that introduces the latest useful and freely available tools and techniques, developed and released by active members of the Web design community. The first article covered PrefixFree1; the second introduced Foundation2, a responsive framework; the third presented Sisyphus.js3, a library for Gmail-like client-side drafts. The fourth shared a free plugin called GuideGuide4 with us, and later we’ve announced Erskine’s responsive grid generator Gridpak5 and JS Bin6. This time we present CSScomb, a tool to help you sort and categorize CSS properties in your code to improve maintenance. As of this writing, Web browsers support about 200 different CSS properties.
