Tom’s Tutorials
Here is a list of some tutorials, tips, and tricks that I've written to share with the world. I'm often too busy with work to write out tutorials, but I do like to share and by explaining things I also learn. So choose from the list below and enjoy. I hope that my research proves to be of value.
Javascript
Moo.fx Fade Example
How to use moo.fx to create a nice fade in/out effect for a web page. The advantages of using this are that you will require less navigation and loading between pages (so less navigation code will need to be written), an added bonus for SEO as if used on some of your smaller pages, it adds more content to the page, and of course the nice fade effect. I used this technique for my portfolio so that short information such as contact and my resume appeared on the index page of the site which helped with SEO and helped condense an otherwise long navigation process.
CakePHP
CakePHP and Flex
How to use CakePHP and AMFPHP to pass data to Flex. More specifically, for use in Flex's DataGrid. There are a few adaptations that you will need to make, but nothing "hacky" -- all code should be following best practices in CakePHP and in Flex.
CakePHP Search Vendor
How to use a 3rd party search script with CakePHP to search your through the databases in your CakePHP application. While there are many ways of returning data from your models in Cake, there is no out of the box search. However, it's very easy to make a vendor from a 3rd party script and include a search...whether it's simple or more advanced.
