jQuery UI 1.8: The User Interface Library for jQuery

Book Description

jQuery UI, the official suite of plugins for the jQuery JavaScript library, gives you a solid platform on which to build rich and engaging interfaces with maximum compatibility, stability, and a minimum of time and effort.
jQuery UI has a series of ready-made user interface widgets and a comprehensive set of core interaction helpers to reduce the amount of code that you need to write to take a project from conception to completion.

jQuery UI 1.8: The User Interface Library for jQuery has been specially revised for version 1.8 of jQuery UI. It is written to maximize your experience with the library by breaking down each component and walking you through examples that progressively build upon your knowledge, taking you from beginner to advanced usage in a series of easy-to-follow steps.

Throughout the book, you’ll learn how each component can be initialized in a basic default implementation and then customize and configure each component to tailor it to your application. You’ll look at the configuration options and the methods exposed by each component’s API to see how these can be used to bring out the best of the library. Each chapter will also show you the custom events fired by the component covered and how these events can be intercepted and acted upon.

What you will learn from this book :

  • How the CSS framework consistently themes the widgets and how these styles can be used in your own code
  • Create a custom jQuery UI widget using the widget library
  • The underlying mark-up required by different components, and how each widget or interaction helper is initialized
  • Configure the different components, and the different options that each component uses
  • Work with each widget programmatically using its methods and event hooks
  • Practical examples of how each component can be used
  • Add flair to your interface with animation effects

Approach
An example-based approach leads you step-by-step through the implementation and customization of each library component and its associated resources. Reference tables of each configuration option, method, and event for each component are provided, alongside detailed explanations of how each widget is used.

Who this book is written for
This book is for front-end designers and developers who need to quickly learn how to use jQuery UI. To get the most out of this book you should have a good working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and should ideally be comfortable using jQuery.

MDX with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Cookbook

Posted: 05 Sep 2011 11:54 PM PDT

MDX with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Cookbook

Book Description

Microsoft SQL Server is an enterprise database platform that contains a multitude of technologies, Analysis Services being one of them. SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) provides OLAP and data mining capabilities and allows users to analyze multidimensional data stored in cubes using the MDX query language.

This cookbook contains over 80 practical, task-based recipes that show how Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services solutions can be taken further by enriching them with high-performance MDX calculations and flexible MDX queries.

Packed with immediately usable, real-world recipes, the book starts with elementary techniques that lay the foundation for designing further MDX calculations and queries. Here you will find topics such as iterations on a set, Boolean logic, and dissecting and optimizing MDX calculations.

In the first half of the book you will learn how to efficiently work with time, strings, metadata, calculated members and sets in general, and how to implement MDX solutions that are appropriate in a particular context: a time-aware calculation, a concise report, a calculation relative to another. You will also learn how to implement various types of conditional formatting, how to perform typical MDX calculations like ranks, percentages and averages, and year-to-date calculations.

The book then deep dives into topics such as enhancing cube design with utility dimensions, context-aware calculations, and other advanced topics. In this part you will learn how a utility dimension can be of great help, for example when you want to calculate histograms or implement time-based calculations. The advanced topics also cover parent-child hierchies, recursion, random values, and complex sorts.

Enrich your Business Intelligence solutions with over 80 recipes for high-performance MDX calculations and flexible MDX queries

What you will learn from this book :

  • Create time-aware calculations (relative to the current date)
  • Create context-aware calculations (relative to members on axes)
  • Implement business-related calculations like forecasting, allocation of values and ABC analysis
  • Calculate various percentages, averages, and ranks
  • Work with related members (on the same and other dimensions)
  • Combine MDX with utility dimensions
  • Implement error handling
  • Implement AND, OR, NOT logic
  • Conditionally format your MDX calculations
  • Optimize, dissect, and debug MDX calculations and queries
  • Capture MDX generated by SSAS front-ends
  • Register SSAS-related assemblies and use stored procedures in them

Approach
This book offers practical, task-based, and immediately usable recipes covering a wide range of MDX calculations and queries. In addition to its cookbook style, which ensures the solutions are presented in a clear step-by-step manner, the explanations are done in great detail, which makes it good learning material for everyone who has experience in MDX and wants to improve.

The book is designed in such a way that you can read it chapter by chapter or refer to recipes in no particular order. However, some of the recipes depend on each another. When this is the case, you will be notified.

The book is focused on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services, but most of the concepts and explanation are also applicable to previous versions of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services.

Who this book is written for
If you are a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services developer and want to improve your solutions using MDX, then this book is for you.

The book assumes you have a working knowledge of MDX and a basic understanding of dimensional modeling and cube design.
