One Program Multiple Platforms

They've been doing it in regular desktop apps for years. Why not do the same for web apps?



Here's what I'm thinking. Create a project and code it in the main languages that people use for websites.



Honestly, would it be that difficult? I don't understand why people don't do this. Aside from the fact that they don't know more than one language maybe?



So let's say you have a blogging platform. Why not code it for PHP, ColdFusion, JSP, Perl etc.? (Lets not bring ASP into the mix... but I suppose to be fair we should.)



So yep, that is my question for the morning. Why not do that?



It makes sense to me... of course it might be the high quantity of caffeine in my system at the moment. But that's besides the point.



If you were to code your project in the different web programming languages... made sure that they all looked the same. Just ran differently under the hood. Shoot. I'm loving this idea!

It can be annoying at best.

Multidimensional Arrays

Ah Multidimensional Arrays. Nothing too crazy in JavaScript. Just a little bit of this and that. So typical arrays are fun and easy. You create them like so: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = "Red"; colors[1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = "Blue"; Well that's fine and dandy, but what if you want to associate something with each of those? For example, what if you wanted to create a menu? You'll need at minimum a link name and a target. We could do something like this: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = new Array(); colors[0][0] = "red.htm"; colors[0][1] = "Red"; colors[1] = new Array(); colors[1][0] = "yellow.htm"; colors[1][1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = new Array(); colors[2][0] = "blue.htm"; colors[2][1] = "Blue"; function createColors() { document.write('<ul id="colors">'); for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) { var link = colors[i][0]; ...
