Solving a Dilemma: Raw JavaScript vs. JS Frameworks

Last updated on November 7th, 2012 by Gabriel Livan

There has been a huge dilemma among web developers as to what to get acquainted with first, the basic JavaScript or the more advanced features that use it such as jQuery, MooTools etc. The popular answer to such a question has always been the latter option. Learning the latter might be the easiest way around. But taking shortcuts always have their repercussions. Learning jQuery without getting acquainted with the basic Java script may lead to the developer running into problems later on.

The Pros and the Cons

Using script libraries is the easier way but not the best way. When one has ready made libraries of scripts in their possession and the library is user friendly and provides good tutorials for the beginners, it may not take a long time to master it. There are some great tutorials that may make even an absolute beginner master it and start working within a short period of time. There is a huge library of codes which can perform a huge range of functions. One does not have to write extensive lines of code as in raw JavaScript or others. The programming can be done with some speed as there is a lot of support for the library such as available plug-ins that speed up the process and can be downloaded readily. Yet all these come for a price.

MySQL Multi Query Function: An alternative to mysqli’s multi_query()

Last updated on January 9th, 2016 by Gabriel Livan

Performing multiple queries at once can be an effective and fast process using less code without any extra calls to the database. mysqli::multi_query can help you do that by executing one or multiple queries which are concatenated by a semicolon. However, not all servers have mysqli installed and when you also sell a product that requires a database import during the installation wizard you want to make sure that even the servers without mysqli will make the import successfully.
