#msdnsrf twitter for GlenGordon:jQuery, BrianHitney:Azure

The Southern Fried Roadshow hits Huntsville! Glen had to start out talking about jQuery 'cause the demo gods snafu'd Brian's laptop.

Glen on ASP.NET + jQuery:
other libs: dojo, scriptactulous, prototype, also AjaxTK & Yahoo! UI Library

AJAH vs AJAX
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. So I came up with the term AJAH, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And HTML (http://jimmyzimmerman.com/blog/2006/08/ajax-vs-ajah.html)

Selectors:
$("firstName") -> elt w/ID="firstName"
$(":text") -> all textbox elts
$(".required") -> all elts with .required property

Search ScottGu's blog for getting jQuery intellisence working
or get hotfix to do it for you. Here's a good url:
http://west-wind.com/Weblog/posts/536756.aspx

Interesting:
function pageLoad()
{
$(":text") .focus(hilight).blur(lolight);
}
function hilight()
{
$(this).css("background-color","red");
}

function lolight()
{
$(this).css("background-color","");
}

Animation:
.slideDown('slow' or 'normal' or 'fast')

pageLoad
$("#linkage).click(slider)

... Glen is too fast - gotta watch ... talking about sorting using plugin for jQuery.
jLink later on...
You can easily write your own.

Brian's turn!
Azure isn't ready for prime time so I'm not gunna say nutn'

Back from lunch, Power Debuggery:
Advance breakpoint-ology 101 is first topic...
+ in stack window can click method-name and hit F9 or right-mouse add breakpoint.
+ add/remove (toggle F9) in three different parts of top of for loop.
+ Ctrl+D+N = new breakpoint, Type in name, and it'll match ALL names that match (no wildcards)
+ Hitcount, and other cases are on right-mouse on click on breakpoint icon or in breakpoint window.
+ likewise, Condition... like in a for look, i==3

[Conditional("DEBUG")] only on void return types, so use
#if DEBUG
public bool CheckEt(string whoDo)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(whoDo))
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
#endif

Can call CheckEt("me") as a condition as well.

threading/debugging, break-all, open thread window, double-click thread to set context to a specific thread, try "Filter" set break in specific thread.

"When Hit"! Awesome... print trace. this is the last of em' in the right-mouse popup menu
----
"Watch window is even more powerful" said Brain, DE & Rock-n-Rolla debugger!
can call method... but 20 sec timeout, and it doesn't honor breakpoints
but in Immediate Window... yep! And no 20 sec timeout.

Thanks for the presentation #MSDNSFR! Gotta go listen to INETA
