Prototype in Javascript

Prototype are link or pointer to other objects. All objects have prototype. Objects are chained together by the prototype chain.

//Constructor
function Office(name, location, domain)
{
this.name=name;
this.location=location;
this.domain=domain;
}

//Prototype


Office.Prototype={
    interview: function(){
alert("Hi office location is"+ this.location);
}
};

var myoffice= new Office("expo-e", "london", "telecommunication");

myoffice.interview; // hi office location is london

In the above example

myoffice prototype is shared with Office
Office prototype is shared with object
Object prototype is shared with null

myoffice->Office->Object->null, makes the complete chain of prototype.

when you lookup a property on an object, it will walk up the prototype chain until its found. First my office  is checked then the Office is checked, then object and finally it reaches null.

Bootstrap Server Side Sorting Cont....

On my previous post   I had already mentioned about how to apply the sort to Bootstrap paginated tables. By making the following changes server side sorting can be achieved along with pagination. On Filter Model self.sortBy = ko.observable( 'Id' );//Default sort Column self.sortAscending = ko.observable( false ); self.iconType = ko.observable( 'glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down' ); // Icon to appear near Column No Changes to Adarsh Log Model or Adarsh Log list Model Knockout.js View Model for Adarsh Log Changes Add the sortTable  method to it self.sortTable = function (viewModel, e) {             var columClicked = $(e.target).attr( "data-column" )             var sortAscending = (self.filter().sortAscending() === true ) ? false : true ;             self.filter().sortAscendi...

#saynotointerview for recruitment process

I recently went for a training that consists of employees from multinational corporations. During the brainstorming sessions, one fellow gentleman started speaking about firing his colleague. This guy is actually a senior manager and he interviewed the departed. He was blaming the unfortunate guy told he knows all the job description and he was smart during the interview. So they selected him for the job. But in the job, he never raised to his potential and they sacked him. The senior manager was claiming in the brainstorming session the decision was correct. But lots of people in training disagreed with that. Majority people told the recruitment or interview process in the company flawed to test that lad's knowledge. I strongly believe this might not be a one of the situation in recruitment? How many of you came across similar experience in your professional career? Do you believe the things we put in the job description are the exact things the potential employees will be do...

Single page application (SPA) using ext.js

what is spa? Single page application are applications that fit in one page with rich and fluid user experiences like a desktop based applications. Why is SPA? All web based elements (html, CSS,javascript) are downloaded from the server on single page load and avoid the continuous page post back. i can explain what this mean. Suppose your web application is made of certain flow and it consists of 5 different pages. Each page need to get data from the user and save before moving to the next page. So when we navigate from one page to other it need to make a round trip to server to store the data in one page and get the data for the next page to display. but in spa we can avoid the continuous post backs. The whole page will not post back any time other than the first load. But it communicate to the server dynamically behind the scene and can achieve the same functionality. Spa using ext.js designing a SPA using ext.js is a challenging task if you are unaware about the ext.js ...
