Well, hello everyone again.
Sorry for taking a lot of time to post something, i’ve been under a lot of pressure @ work so no time for blogging so far.
Now that i have a bit of time, im going to take on a “issue” or “lack of feature” that google maps have, and that i needed to solve for the current project im on.
Make Google Maps to work under SSL connections, with no security errors.

Ok, first that all, let me tell you that the web development in Mexico nowadays is based mostly on pure struts or spring frameworks (Java), standard .Net development or merely pure PHP and HTML frontends/backends.
The AJAX and RIA (Rich Internet Applications) JS based frontend frameworks usage is still in a very early (nearly null) development here in the country (due to the lack of knowledge, vision and interest, i guess) and my intention is to propagate this actually ‘not-so-new-to-the-rest-of-the-world-but-really-new-to-Mexico’ technologies and programming styles, so we can have a competitive level in the worldwide web devel market.
So, with that said, my intention now is to gather and create a pool of developers from the country and start to create a kind of association to propagate one of the very best JS frameworks in my point of view, JQuery, to customers and developers, so we can put it as a new standard for user interface creation and also to generate useful plugins to make JQuery an even more robust option for anyone who wants to create an elegant and fully interactive application, no matter what backend engine they use.
So hopefully in the next weeks, i will start to post news about this intentions, to see if its possible to make them a real solution and a real gigantic step in the Mexican webapp developing market (from training courses to commercial RIA creation).
So let’s get the JQuery evangelization over Mexico on!
Greetings!

Ok well, after a while i managed to integrate the famous JQModal plugin to my e-Banking app with the css design and everything i needed, so… i open the webapp on the browser, first on FF… it worked flawlessly!… ok now, let’s try IE7… and…. the jqModal overlay it’s working successfully!!
That’s great!! … ehm… what the… hold on a sec…
Where’s the rest of my application!!??
Damn…
Well… then… after integrating the jqModal plugin, that after some research i found that you need to have an XHTML Strict DOCTYPE, it was working great on both browsers, but i didnt noticed that in IE7 (and in FF too, but i didnt saw the errors because i was too excited) after including that kind of doctype, it worked ok, but it didn’t show a lots of elements in my webapp, so leaving the DOCTYPE to strict XHTM was not a viable option, i needed to keep the standard html Transitional DOCTYPE so the elements on the app were able to show and work correctly… so then… what do i do?? I already have the commitment that the webapp it’s going to be working with the jqModal windows and everything… and i must leave it crossbrowser, since it’s an e-Banking website and a lot of people from different places and browsers were going to get into it…
Ok now what im gonna do?
I needed to make this one work, no room for mistakes!
Then i had to get into deep the source code of the jquery.jqmodal.js to see what i needed to modify to make it work under an standard transitional html doctype.
Hi everyone, well, i decided to change the language of my blog to english, just because i thought it would be better to communicate with people from other countries using this universal language, and well… i will be writing here pretty soon and i will translate the first 2 posts, so i hope this will improve communication and understanding between all web techies out there that may read my blog.
C’ya soon!
Regards!

Que tal a todos,
Bueno, pues ahora me encuentro realizando un ligero review de mi experiencia con Presto, producto flagship de la empresa y Partner de mi consultoría, JackBe.
Antes que nada, se decidió utilizar este producto de JackBe por la naturaleza de las herramientas que ofrece, la cual es integrar todo tipo de SOA a nuestras aplicaciones, digamos que Presto es una especie de híbrido Middleware y a su vez es un frontend AJAX.
Quiero mencionar que dicha experiencia ha sido placentera y a su vez un poco complicada dada la curva de aprendizaje y porque tanto para JackBe como para mi consultoría, EBCOMM, es el primer producto comercial que se liberará bajo esta tecnología, tanto a nivel Nacional como Internacional.
Presto nos permite integrar tanto servicios de tipo REST, como WSDL, POJO, RSS/Atom Feeds, DAOs generados desde la base automáticamente en forma de Services y Mashups.
Ok pues, lo integré, el famoso jqModal a mi app de e-Banking… abro mi aplicación…FF de maravilla, en IE7… y ….
El Overlay del jqModal se muestra exitosamente!!!
Que chidooo..o…ehm… a ver… esperen un segundo…
Y el resto de mi aplicación!!??
Damn…
Bueno… entonces… al incluir el super-estricto DOCTYPE de XHTML, si funcionó pero no me mostraba muchos elementos mas en mi aplicación… así que tuve que descartar el cambio del DOCTYPE, no era ninguna opción viable, necesitaba conservar el DOCTYPE de html Transitional… entonces… que hago?? Ya tengo el compromiso de que esto va a quedar así… y no puedo dejarlo incompatible con IE7… y más porque es una aplicación de e-Banking.
Ahora bien… , que voy a hacer?
Tengo que dejar esto funcionando a como dé lugar!
Me tuve que aventar el clavado al source del jquery.jqmodal.js a ver en que parte del código podría encontrarle el problema o a que podría moverle para que funcionara.
Bueno pues aquí con la novedad de que ando estrenando blog y website AdrianLabastida.com, en la cual tengo planeado hacer una serie de cosas interesantes, entre las cuales son temas de programación y varios, así como preparar varios cursos para e-Learning desde el mismo site, claro todo esto a su tiempo para lograr el cometido de este site.
Así que bueno, empezando por el comienzo, hay que preparar la información y los contenidos que voy a integrar al site, les tendré al tanto de todo, por el momento verán links que no funcionan y demás, pero ya iremos corrigiendo todo para que este totalmente funcional.
Revisen constantemente el site, ya que procuraré actualizarle seguido.
Saludos!
Adrián Labastida
