A jQuery Plugin for adding IE9 features (site pinning, site mode, etc.) to your websites. Several new features of Internet Explorer 9 are designed to enhance the browsing experience of consumers by enabling sites that leverage certain features to behave like applications on the desktop when those sites are ‘pinned’ to the taskbar in Windows 7. A user pins a site by dragging the site’s tab (or favicon in the address bar) to the taskbar. For all sites, IE9 will create a default experience (called ‘site mode’) that will use information about the site to create an instance of the browser customized to look specific to that site. Developers can also add specific meta tags and script commands to extend these features to further customize user’s pinned experience of the site.

Your site, from zero-to-pinned in less than 5 minutes:

1. install-package jquery.ie9ify
2. $(‘head’).pinify();
3. Run and Pin!

Employee Info Starter Kit is an open source project that is highly influenced by the concept ‘Pareto Principle’ or 80-20 rule, where it is targeted to enable a web developer to gain 80% productivity with 20% of effort with respect to learning curve and production.
It is intended to address different types of real world challenges faced by web application developers when performing common CRUD operations. Using a single database table ‘Employee’, the current release illustrates how to utilize Microsoft ASP.NET 4.0 Web Form Data Controls, Entity Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 effectively in that context.

Laharsub is an open source messaging server designed for real time communication in web applications. Laharsub supports a publish/subscribe message exchange pattern many modern, real time web applications use. Online chat and collaboration, multiplayer online gaming, news or stock quote updates, and many more types of web applications created today require real time data transfer from the server to the web client, and between web clients. Laharsub server is implemented in .NET and ships with support for several client technologies: jQuery, Silverlight, and .NET. The protocol is based on HTTP long polling and exposed through a set of REST APIs. Laharsub server can be used from any environment that supports HTTP, including JavaScript running in a web browser. Laharsub enables adding support for a variety of backend technologies to support scale out to a large number of concurrent users. The memory based backend implementation included in Laharsub does not support scale-out but offers high performance in small deployments (several thousand users).
