jQuery Autocomplete complete in Visual Studio

Scott Guthrie, from Microsoft, has wrote about the new intellisense support for the jQuery library. jQuery support is now found in both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2008 Express (free).

There are a few steps involved in getting this new support - just the usually steps you would expect from Microsoft though, nothing major.

jQuery also announced recently that Nokia would soon have jQuery running in their adopted mobile phone browser (WebKit using the Web Run-Time).

Ajax in the AIR

Adobe AIR introduces a whole new subject when talking about Ajax. I’ve decided to create an new website dedicated to developing Adobe AIR applications, by way of Air Tutorials. It’ll cover both HTML with JavScript and Flex (mxml and ActionScript). Snippet manager is the first sample application available, which was built using Flex. There will be a range of tutorials showing how this application was built.

At the time of writing this, the site has very little content. But I am working on it. Please send in your ideas. You can find out more at: www.air-tutorial.com

The site will introduce a balanced opinion of Adobe AIR, it is not affiliated with Adobe in any form.

Update: The first tutorial is available - it covers the installation and configuration of the Air Sdk.
