jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size) that in a relatively short span of time has become one of the most popular libraries on the web. A big part of the appeal of jQuery is that it allows you to elegantly (and efficiently) find and manipulate HTML elements with minimum lines of code. jQuery supports this via a nice "selector" API that allows developers to query for HTML elements, and ...

Is this the first time MS has openly adopted an open source library?

Chagel said:
Sounds interesting!That's a smart and correct decision and hopefully JQuery can get along well with ASP.NET big families. Microsoft usually directly goes for acquisition like this. Now I have to regard it with respect.

As someone who develops web applications using both ASP.NET and jQuery, the news that Microsoft will be including jQuery with Visual Studio and providing support for it is music to my ears. I can hardly wait for the jQuery Intellisense support to be released.

While it has great potential, the Semantic Web has failed to live up to its promises so far. Part of the problem, as Thomson Reuters sees it, is that developers will not add a lot of semantic features to their products until publishers start publishing more semantic data. Reuters' OpenCalais represents one way around this problem, but starting today, Reuters' newest project, SemanticProxy, will give developers an easier way to extract semantic data from any ...

What do you do when you need to research something on the web? You just google it, right?

What you really need is a research engine that explores the unindexed reaches of the Deep Web. For that, there's now Infovell, "the world's research engine." Less than 0.2% of ...
