OpenGL workshop and nostalgia

Abhijeet Maharana — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:27:59 +0000

I conducted a workshop on OpenGL today. It was in the same college where I completed my Engineering, SFIT Borivali. I had done it for the first time in 2003. And I remember how nervous I was because I was in the 2nd year and almost everyone who participated was a senior! Although everyone was [...]

GWT-Ext Store to SmartGWT DataSource

Abhijeet Maharana — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 20:48:12 +0000

GWT-Ext Store instances are all over my code. And I am populating them by various means. While migrating from GWT-Ext to SmartGWT, converting Stores to DataSources will probably take up a lot of time. I was wondering if I could migrate and test only the grids first and deal with the stores later. Code below [...]

SmartGWT 1.0, a web application library based on SmartClient and GWT, was released this Monday. From the release announcement at Sanjiv’s blog and the showcase demos, it is evident that this library packs a lot of power and is definitely worth checking out.

Google chat and FoxClocks

Abhijeet Maharana — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:43:38 +0000

Google Chat It once happened that I did not recollect adding someone on GTalk and yet the contact showed up in my buddy list. I thought maybe the other guy did and that I forgot about it after accepting the request. Then it started happening very frequently and I had no clue. Well, it turns out that [...]

GWT-Ext Combo helper method

Abhijeet Maharana — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:55:00 +0000

While working with a GWT-Ext application, I found that most of the Combo boxes used are just meant to be readonly drop down lists. Like the style 2 combo boxes we had in VB. A 2D array with display and value fields is all that is needed. Yet, every combo needs 6-7 lines to get [...]

Abhijeet Maharana — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:29:37 +0000

Yesterday, while dabbling with jQuery and getting amazed by the wealth of plugins and effects available for this library, I came across http://digitalbush.com/2008/07/31/masked-input-plugin-114/. It allows you to fit text fields with an input mask to allow only fixed-width input in a certain format. I had seen it first in MS Access a long long time [...]
