AJAX:Getting Started
This article guides you through the AJAX basics and gives you two
simple hands-on examples to get you started.
Alternate
Ajax Techniques
Most articles on Ajax have focused on using XMLHttp as
the means to achieving such communication, but Ajax techniques are not
limited to just XMLHttp. There are several other methods.
A
Simpler Ajax Path
"As it turns out, it's pretty easy to take advantage
of the XMLHttpRequest object to make a web app act more like a desktop
app while still using traditional tools like web forms for collecting
user input."

Here are 109 Linux Tutorials and Learning Articles, mostly
from IBM's
developerWorks.
Included here are their most popular 10 Linux articles, Linux tutorials
covering how to use the kernel to make system calls, use
Linux's
proc filesystem, make linkages between user-space and the
Linux
kernel, LPI Certification Exam preparation, learning PHP, Python,
KParts, Rebol scripting, Ruby, JFS, and Linux networking.
Here are the current 10 most popular Linux tutorials and
articles on IBM developerWorks:
1) Discover
the Linux Kernel Virtual Machine Linux and flexibility go hand in hand, and the options for
virtualization are no different. But recently, a change in the Linux
virtualization landscape has appeared with the introduction of the
Kernel virtual Machine, or KVM. KVM is the first virtualization
solution to be part of the mainline Linux kernel (V2.6.20). KVM
supports the virtualization of Linux guest operating systems -- even
Windows with hardware that is virtualization-aware. Learn about the
architecture of the Linux KVM as well as why its tight integration with
the kernel may change the way you use Linux.
2) Parallelize
applications for faster Linux booting One of the biggest complaints about Linux, particularly from
developers, is the speed with which Linux boots. By default, Linux is a
general-purpose operating system that can serve as a client desktop or
server right out of the box. Because of this flexibility, Linux serves
a wide base but is suboptimal for any particular configuration. This
article shows you options to increase the speed with which Linux boots,
including two options for parallelizing the initialization process. It
also shows you how to visualize graphically the performance of the boot
process.
3) Windows-to-Linux roadmap: Overview IBM e-business architect Chris Walden is your guide through a
nine-part developerWorks series on moving your operational skills from
a Windows to a Linux environment. He covers everything from logging to
networking, and from the command-line to help systems -- even compiling
packages from available source code.
4) Second
Life client, Part 1: Hacking Second Life
The open source release of the Second Life viewer program by developer
Linden Lab offers a rare opportunity to peer into the comparative
strengths of closed and open source development models. This article,
the first in a series, gives an overview of some of the differences
between these development styles, and talks about what's involved in
setting up your own build environment.
5) Bash by example
Part
1: Fundamental programming in bash
By learning how to program in the bash scripting
language, your day-to-day interaction with Linux will become more fun
and productive, and you'll be able to build upon those standard UNIX
constructs (like pipelines and redirection) that you already know and
love.
6) Virtualization
with coLinux Virtualization with VmWare, Xen, and Kernel-based Virtual
Machine (KVM) are all the rage these days. But did you know that you
can run Linux cooperatively with Windows? This article explores
Cooperative Linux (coLinux), starting with a quick introduction to
virtualization and then looking at the approach taken by coLinux.
You'll also see how to get coLinux up and running on Windows.
7) Boot
Linux faster
This article shows you how to improve the boot speed of your
Linux system without compromising usability. Essentially, the technique
involves understanding system services and their dependencies, and
having them start up in parallel, rather than sequentially, when
possible.
Visualize
your data with gnuplot
Turn your data and functions into professional-looking graphs
with Gnuplot 4.0, a freely distributed plotting tool. In this
article, get a hands-on guide to gnuplot that emphasizes the idioms
you'll need to use this tool effectively.
9) Reduce
your Linux memory footprint
A lack of physical memory can severely hamper Linux
performance. In this article, learn how to accurately measure the
amount of memory your Linux system uses. You also get practical advice
on reducing your memory requirements using an Ubuntu system as an
example.
10) Sugar,
the XO laptop, and One Laptop per Child
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is an organization whose mission
is to develop a low-cost laptop (USD100) with accompanying software to
spread computer literacy to children around the world. Because the
device targets children, it must provide a novel user interface and
applications that allow children to experiment with tools for
expression and learning. The operating system for the OLPC is a port of
the Linux kernel but with a unique interface called Sugar. In this
article, learn about the Sugar human interface, see how to virtualize
an OLPC laptop on a standard PC using QEMU, and take a tour of Sugar
and the OLPC capabilities.
Here are some other good
Linux Tutorials and How Tos from developerWorks and elsewhere...
Kernel
command using Linux system calls
Learn how a Linux system call is performed from user-space to the
kernel. Explore the Linux system call interface (SCI), find out how to
add new system calls (and alternatives for doing so), and discover
utilities related to the SCI.
Anatomy
of the Linux kernel
The Linux kernel consists of a
sensible set of subsystems and layers. Learn the architecture to better
understand and navigate the Linux source.
Sysenter
Based System Call Mechanism in Linux 2.6
Get a detailed look at the system call gate between the user-space
application and the kernel. This paper focuses on the transition
mechanisms provided in the 2.6 kernel.
Assembly
Language Linkages
Details the assembly language linkages between the user-space and the
Linux
kernel.
Systems
Calls article at Wikipedia
This article offers an interesting perspective on system
calls, including history and typical implementations.
Kernel
application program interface (API)
Documents many of the kernel functions available for general
(in-kernel) use, including user-space memory-management functions as
well as many others.
Turbocharge
Ruby on Rails with ActiveScaffold
Learn how to use the ActiveScaffold, which is a plugin that provides
dynamic model-based view generation, making data-entry UI development
in Rails easy.
Webcast: Integrating
Open Source into your Business
IBM advises not to build a
separate Open Source strategy, but rather consider effective
alternatives to
integrate Open Source into your existing strategy, your IT
infrastructure, and your business. This webcast reviews IBM's
combination of open source and commercial software offerings and their
experiences with
Linux, Apache, Eclipse and many other open source projects.

/dev/hello_world:
A Simple Introduction to Device Drivers under Linux Since the misty days of yore, the first step in
learning a new
programming language has been writing a program that prints "Hello,
world!" (See the Hello World Collection for a list of more than 300
"Hello, world!" examples.) In this article, we will use the same
approach to learn how to write simple Linux kernel modules and device
drivers. More…
The
Power of Google Gears (Part 1) Web application development is the perfect 95
percent
solution. It's
very easy to develop a simple HTML frontend to something like PHP or
Rails, to deliver data to and from a MySQL database. You can even give
it a more desktop feel by using Ajax tools. But that last five percent,
the ability for desktop applications to work offline, was
missing More…
