JQuery Datatables plugin example using a server side data request (coldfusion) |
||||||||
Im my previous article on how to use the JQuery datatables plug I concentrated mainly on the JQuery script, and how to build the AJAX request to receive a JSON response.
In this article I will demonstrate the full application which will include the front end JQuery, building the back end server response and a few tips that I've picked up since implementing the plugin. I am using an MS SQL table filled with UK location data that I also used for a weather webservice, to fill the table.

Using Feedburner RSS feeds with your Blog and auto tweeting to your Twitter Account |
||||||||
Feed burner is a Google product that allows you to consume and distribute your RSS feeds in a much more in depth way than simply displaying the information in a raw XML format. It allows you to analyse the usage of a feed, add social links into feed articles and push the content onto other web platforms, like Twitter and Facebook.
In this article I will display what I like to call the 'Distributed social circular'. This means that when you create a new Blog article feed burner will automatically consume it, update your RSS feed subscribers, and post a custom formatted Tweet to your Twitter account, hopefully driving more visitors to the original article.
