In some JavaScript I needed several independent items from the web server, and so I abstracted a solution for this into a jQuery plugin. After building the plugin I searched Stack Overflow and found a relevant question with some non-generalized answers, so I put my sample code up there. I'm posting a link to it here so I can find it when I need it in the future :) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1060539/parallel-asynchronous-ajax-requests-using-jquery/3087699#3087699
After listening to .NET Rocks Episode 562, "Teaching Kids Programming," I downloaded Small Basic again to play around a bit. I uploaded a little triangle fractal program that's available here: http://smallbasic.com/program/?ZTR830 Here are a couple notables: The web-based view scales down the graphics, doesn't appear to support PenWidth, and doesn't draw as smoothly as the installed IDE does, so it's a little less nifty through the above URL. As far as I can tell, subroutines in Small Basic don't support parameters, which makes recursion a little more difficult, which makes fractals...
