This consulting session as many of my sessions are long, they include a variety of technologies, server, client and scalability issues.

Hi All, Well, sometimes you find yourself needing a work around to a default framework or language behavior. I found myself needing exactly that on an application I’m building. No matter what I did I couldn’t find a “normal” way of doing what I did. This is actually a pretty efficient way of creating your own event listener. We will talk about the button and we’ll add an event listener.…

Hi all, Normally, when you’re coding on a website or a system you’re probably using connection to an SQL serverdatabase. When you are the coder or you are a consultant coming to a company to check the code or the server or anything else for that matter, you sometimes need to check the number of connections that are open right now.
