I copy other people’s ideas and code all the time and then re-purpose them with my own, new ideas. That is how we evolve culturally.
Look at my article and you will how to appropriately credit other people for their work. Ethically it is the right thing to do and I would expect anyone to do the same with my content.

XPages ND9 (Dojo 1.8) does not work with other AMD loaders (and the work around)
Tue, May 14th 2013 6:10p Mark Roden Today I took a new jQuery plugin that I was playing with from an R8.5.3 environment where it worked, to an R9 environment and it failed – I figured it had something to do with something I had been reading about over the last month and in fixing my problem this lead to a more serious realization that I KNOW other people are also going to come across.
Background

EXTJS in XPages #9 – Infinite scrolling rebooted and reborn – v4.2 BufferedRenderer
Mon, May 13th 2013 5:29a Mark Roden In this article I will introduce the new EXTJS v4.2 Infinite scroller – the BuffererRenderer. The whole concept of infinite scrolling has been rewritten in the new version of the grid and it had made a huge difference to responsiveness and stability of the infinite grid.

Shorthand Conditional JavaScript variable checking using ||
Sun, May 5th 2013 6:23p Mark Roden In this article I will highlight a shorthand method of JavaScript conditional variable checking. The || operator is commonly recognized as “OR” but it’s usage is broader than some people would think.
You might have occasion to have a variable declaration purposefully override a desired value. In this example the start will be zero unless the start variable has been declared with and assigned value:
Long Hand
var start
/*..bunch o' code..*/
if (!start){
start = 0
}

JavaScript variable hoisting
Wed, May 1st 2013 8:16p Mark Roden In this article I will give a quick overview of JavaScript hoisting and explain why sometimes your variables are not doing what you expect them to.
In the following example we have a very simple variable declaration and function:
var msg = "hello world"
function sayHi(){
alert(msg)
}
sayHi()
If you run this through firebug you get the expected message in the browser
However if you change the code slightly you do not get the initially expected response. When you run the following code [read] Keywords: javascript

Make your XPages more maintainable – JavaScript Callback functions
Sun, Apr 28th 2013 6:39p Mark Roden In this article I will attempt to explain the purpose and benefits of using callback functions in JavaScript.
Introduction
Basic JavaScript functions look like this normally like this
function addMe(a, b){
return a+ b
}
JavaScript variables normally look like this
var a = 2
var b = 3
Finally we would call the function to add the variables
var theTotal = addMe(a, b)
//5
Seems simple enough
Setting a variable to a function
But we can also combine them into something like this

Fri, Apr 26th 2013 7:39a Mark Roden It was an absolute pleasure to do my jQuery in XPages presentation for the 3rd time (publicly) earlier this week and it was as part of the TLCC and Teamstudio webcast series highlighting some of the people and presentations from the community.
