Cum sa utilizam optiunea de Pinned Site pe IE9 impreuna cu Windows 7

A fost lansat IE9. Ca de obicei, uni sunt pro, alti sunt contra. Ce m-a facut sa instalez IE9 a fost opțiunea de pinned site. Daca pana acuma doar pe o aplicatie puteai sa faci pin/unpin, IE9 ne ofera aceasta posibilitate si pentru siturile care suporta acest lucru. Chrome are aceasta opțiune de ceva vreme, dar va spun sincer ca nu am remarcato pana acuma( FF fan here).
De ce meta date avem nevoie ca sa putem face ca o pagina web sa poata fi pinned:

application-name: numele la pagina. Daca acesta nu este setat se folosește titlul la pagina;
msapplication-tooltip: textul care se afiseaza cand esti cu mouseul peste shortcut;
msapplication-starturl: URL spre care duce pagina pe care a fost făcuta pinned( de exemplu daca folosti un master page, puteti face orice pinned sa duca spre prima pagina;
msapplication-navbutton-color: culoarea la fundal si la text;
msapplication-window: dimensiunile default la browser cand se da click pe shortcut;

Toate acestea sunt opționale, ajunge doar sa apelam metoda JS pe care am descriso la sfîrșitul postului. Exemplu:

<meta name="application-name" content="Sample Site Mode Application"/>
<meta name="msapplication-tooltip" content="Programing issues"/>
<meta name="msapplication-starturl" content="http://vunvulearadu.blogspot.com/"/>
<meta name="msapplication-window" content="width=1024;height=800"/>
<meta name="msapplication-navbutton-color" content="white"/>

In cazul in care doriti sa specificati si o anumita icoana puteti sa folosti:

<LINK rel="shortcut icon" type=image/x-icon href="[locatia_de_pe_server_unde_este_icoana]">
<LINK rel=icon type=image/ico href="[locatie_icoana]">

Atentie: Trebuie sa specificați in primul tag locatie web unde se poate gasi fisierul, iar in al doilea tag se specifica calea relativa. Exemplu:

<LINK rel="shortcut icon" type=image/x-icon href="http://vunvulearadu.blogspot.com/raduIco.ico">
<LINK rel=icon type=image/ico href="./raduIco.ico">

In cazul in care acesta icoana nu este specificata se va folosi cea default a IE9. Userul poate sa personalizeze fiecare site pinned.
Pentru fiecare site pinned putem sa definim anumite taskuri in lista de "jump list tasks". Aceata lista se va afisa cand userul o sa dea click dreapta pe "pin"( nu am gasit o traducere care sa sune bine la pin- ac, bolt, cui, tinta? Suna prea ciudat). Pentru acest lucru putem sa ne folosim de meta data denumita msapplication-task. Prin acest mecanism putem sa oferim un meniu utilizatorului care sa il duca pe acesta la paginile principale( pagina de news, setari cont, status comenzi etc).

<META name="msapplication-task" content="name=Pagina logare;action-uri=http://cluj.ro/logare.html;icon-uri=http://cluj.ro/logareIcon.ico"/>
<META name="msapplication-task" content="name=Stiri;action-uri=http://cluj.ro/news.html;icon-uri=http://host/newsIcon.ico"/>

Pentru a se putea face pin la un site ajunge ca intr-o ancora sa apelasi metoda msAddSiteMode().

<a onclick="window.external.msAddSiteMode();" href="#">Pin Me</a><br />

Pentru a verifica daca pagina curenta a fost sau nu lansata ca si un pinned site puteti folosi window.external.msIsSiteMode().

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process. Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration. A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
