Javascript frameworks have turned simple AJAX functions into one-liners. This is quite incredible, considering the fact that it would require more than twenty to accomplish the same thing with raw Javascript. Nevertheless, it's important to learn what's "under the hood".

Real-life clients have real-life needs for their websites. They don’t care about your fancy RSS feeds and AJAX, they just want their website to do what they tell you they want it to do. In this screencast I walk through an example feature I am building for a real-life client who needed some very specific functionality built into a page. It is an ordering process that needs to check for a valid zip code, and then do a bunch of custom calculations based on quantities, shipping costs, etc. Both jQuery and PHP are used to do the heavy lifting

Microsoft said that those who purchase PCs running Vista between now and the Release Date will receive either a free or discounted copy of Windows 7. As with past similar programs, details on pricing will be up to individual computer makers, although Microsoft did say the upgrade program will apply to Vista Home Premium and higher-priced editions (meaning not Windows Vista Basic). The software maker has yet to announce pricing for the product.
FileZilla, which is frequently referred to as FireZilla, is a really nice free FTP utility. If you have not used it, it really does deserve a test drive because its features easily compare to paid FTP utilities, such as CuteFTP and WS_FTP.
You can find FileZilla here:
Download FileZilla from SourceForge.net
The default installation of FileZilla, like most FTP utilities, does not display hidden files such as the Linux and Unix .htaccess file. Enabling the viewing of hidden files with FileZilla is pretty simple, but not very obvious. After starting FileZilla 2.x, select the View menu at the top and then select Show Hidden Files. In FileZilla 3.x it was moved to Server and then select Force showing hidden files.
Version 2.x - View > Show hidden files
Version 3.x - Server > Force showing hidden files
That’s all there is to it! You should now be able to see hidden files on your server when using FileZilla.
BTW, FileZilla is frequently referred to as FireZilla. They are one and the same
