> Safari News
> ================================================
> ***"Go On Safari" Tip of the Week Contest Winner--Rory Blyth,
> Portland Area Game Developer Interest Group
> "Social Ramifications--The benefits of Safari go even beyond its
> intended scope. Just walk into a room full of nerds and say,
> 'I've got Safari.'
>
> About 10% of them will be scratching their heads, wondering why
> it is that you're bragging about having the latest and greatest
> OS X web browser, but the rest will be drooling and calling you
> horrible names. They will call you horrible names because they're
> jealous. They'll be jealous because they're sick of finding lewd
> photos of tennis rackets when what they really want is help."

> User Group members can participate in our "Go On Safari"

>
> Every week someone will be chosen from the tips or comments
> submitted to receive fun stuff from O'Reilly (T-shirts, book
> bags, or other surprises). If a member of your user group is
> selected, your group receives a free gift, too. Whatever the
> individual member receives, your UG will get one, too, to give

> >From their experience as web-era application designers, Ganesh
> Prasad, Rajat Taneja, and Vikrant Todankar saw a need for a set
> of named ways of doing things at the application or subsystem
> level, in the same manner that the original design patterns
> fulfilled a need for standardization of lower-level
> functionality. In part one of a two-part series, the authors
> discuss their Web and Enterprise Architecture Design Patterns
> in the Partitioning and Scope categories.

> shows you how to use JavaScript in an ASP.NET web page to
> perform three common tasks: showing a pop-up window, changing
> control focus, and handling frame navigation. You can use these
> tricks to quickly solve problems that have no native .NET solution.

> The Definitive Guide," offers ten tips for building a Flash
> Remoting application that will help programmers deliver the most
> efficient RIA possible.
