I was trying to implement a collapsible menu using jQuery following John Resig’s  online tutorial. it was great, such a nice effect with little code, I found one problem with the effect though, when I tried to click on the menu item which was already open it animated the list items again, I searched for any fixes for this but was not able to fin one so I thought let me try to fix this, here is the JavaScript fix for that More...

Anonymous Types are inline class definition which is created at compile time, we use the same syntax of Object Initializer to declare a Anonymous Types but with out the class name

var customer = new {Name = "Paolo Accorti", Country = "Italy"};

In my previous post about Local Type Inference we discussed about the var keyword and how it provides us a relaxed way of declaring variable but in the case of Anonymous Types the usage of the var keyword is a must to assign it to a variable. Anonymous Types is a very handy tool when when we handle data using LINQ More...

Type Inference is one of the important features for a dynamic language; it preserves type safety while allowing you to write code with more ease. The compiler has the built-in intelligence to determine the “Type” of a variable.
There is always an argument about code readability when it comes to dynamic type inference, but when we work with external APIs and language features like LINK this becomes very handy tool, and it helps us to keep up with the design principle “Program to an Interface, not an implementation”
The keyword “var” is used to denote the complier that you are declaring a dynamic type inference variable. More...

What is LINQ

LINQ is a uniform programming model for any kind of data. LINQ enables you to query and manipulate data with a consistent model that is independent from data sources.

LINQ stands for Language Integrated Query

LINQ can be used to query against any kind of data collection like Database, XML file, ADS and so on, technically speaking any class that implements the IEnumerable or IQueryable interface to know about the difference between these two interfaces kindly visit my post More...

When we work on a project as a developer our main focus is to write code and complete the requirements of the modules given to us, once we are done we just call it a day, when the other developers try to refer the module we develop they are clueless most of the time and the worst part we ourselves forget what we did and what a particular line of code is supposed to do.

In  Agile software development we follow practices like Test Driven Development(TDD), Refactoring to address this kind of confusions, Refactoring is a disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, meaning altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior. When we try to implement a functionality for the first time we are focused to achieve the result, that's totally fine but if we spend a little more time following the guidelines of what TDD and Refactoring says we can save a lot of time in the future and we will be thinking about adding features instead of working on the bugs.More...
