I recently came across a limitation of the wonderful Jquery JQGrid. The grid supports a load once mode, that does one server call to retrieve the data and then goes into a local mode where all searching, sorting, and paging are client-side only.

For a current client it was requested that I move the JQGrid toolbar below the pager if a pager exists. The Toolbar is a nice feature of the JQGrid which can be used for pratically anything. Unfortunately the way the toolbar is set up can be hard to work with. The toolbar can be set [...]

The Developer Dashboard allows you to see the page requests and the amount of time it took for each individual piece of the page to load. Also you are able to see the database queries the page made, [...]
Recently I was tasked with developing a single-sign-on solution for accessing Blackboard’s WebCT CE8 via SharePoint. Blackboard provides examples and instructions for setting up an SSO in the document WebCT Automatic Signon Protocol which can be found if searched for; however it is all written with PHP, PERL, and Java developers in mind.
