One of my long-standing issues with Microsoft is its inability to control the perceptions surrounding its own products. One of the biggest examples was during the Windows Vista years when, even after the product had been fully patched and worked fine, Apple continued to do a better job to define the image of Windows (compilation of ads here) than Microsoft did, costing Microsoft billions in lost revenue for the millions it saved on a strong advertising campaign. The firm has a history of being penny wise and pound foolish in this regard; saving money on expensive marketing that otherwise would...

Our first tutorial on JavaScript arrays covered the basics: creating arrays, accessing the contents of arrays, array lengths, and looping through arrays.In this tutorial, you explore arrays in more depth, and learn how to use various methods of the Array object to manipulate arrays.Extracting sections of an array with slice()You're not limited to accessing single array elements at a time.

In JavaScript, we have functions and wehave arguments that we pass into those functions. But how JavaScript handleswhat you’re passing in is not always clear. When you start getting intoobject-oriented development, you may find yourself perplexed over why you haveaccess to values sometimes but not other times.When passing in a primitive type variablelike a string or a number, the value is passed in by value. This means that anychanges to that variable while in the function are completely separate fromanything that happens outside the function. Let’s take a look at the followingex...

Next are some tips for writing highly efficient PHP codes. They are described below:0. Use single quote to replace double quote, this will be better since PHP will serach for variables in double quoted strings. Note, only echo can do this;1. If we can define methods of a class as static, then do it. It will increase access speed by 4 times;2. $row["id"] is 7 times faster than $row[id];3. echo is faster than print, and also use echo's multiple parameter format such as echo $str1,$str2 instead of echo $str1.$str2;4. When using for loop, make sure the maximum number of executions instead of calcu...
