They are also working with the new HTTP Live Streaming protocol and submitted the specification to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) a few weeks ago. It seems that there is no doubt that they are cooking something really neat for the iPhone.

I would love to see a good quality On Demand Streaming Service on my iPhone and not having to rely on the randomness of Pandora, Last.FM or AOL Radio Apps.

Yahoo! and other websites across the Internet make much of their structured data available to developers, primarily through Web services. To access and query these services, developers traditionally endure the pain of locating the right URLs and documentation to access and query each Web service.

With YQL, developers can access and shape data across the Internet through one simple language, eliminating the need to learn how to call different APIs.

How Do I Get Started?

1. Check out the YQL Console.
2. Read how to access YQL from your application.
3. Get your API Keys to sign your requests if you need them.

    public class FormValidator
    {

        public static IDictionary RegexDictionary = new Dictionary() {
        { "Phone", new Regex("^[2-9]\\d{2}-\\d{3}-\\d{4}$")},
        { "Email", new Regex(@"^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\""]+"
          + @"(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\""]+)*)|(\"".+\""))@"
          + @"((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}"
          + @"\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+"
          + @"[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$"
        )},
        { "URL", new Regex(@"(http(s)?://)?([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+(/[\w- ;,./?%&=]*)?")},
        { "ZipCode", new Regex("^[0-9]{5}$")}
        };

        public static bool IsPhoneValid(string phone)
        {
            return RegexDictionary["Phone"].IsMatch(phone);
        }

        public static bool IsEmailValid(string email)
        {
            return RegexDictionary["Email"].IsMatch(email);
        }

        public static bool IsURLValid(string url)
        {
            return RegexDictionary["URL"].IsMatch(url);
        }

        public static bool IsZipCodeValid(string url)
        {
            return RegexDictionary["ZipCode"].IsMatch(url);
        }

    }

Use

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(email) || !FormValidator.IsEmailValid(email))
// Do something email is required

1. Removing, Showing or Hiding DOM elements

// Remove Element
$("#div").remove();

// Hide
$("#div").hide();
$("#div").hide("slow");
$("#div").hide("fast");
$("#div").hide(1000);
$("#div").hide(1000, callback); 

// Show
$("#div").show();
$("#div").show("slow");
$("#div").show("fast");
$("#div").show(1000);
$("#div").show(1000, callback);  

// Toggle Hide/ Show
$("#div").toggle();
$("#div").toggle("slow");

2. Select All Check Boxes

// Check
$("#selectList").attr('checked', true); 

// Uncheck
$("#selectList").attr('checked', false);

3. Creating Images on the Fly

$("").attr({ "src": "images/loadingAnimation.gif" }).appendTo("#div");

4. jQuery noConflict used when using other libraries

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j('#div').hide();

5. Getting Selected Radio Button value

$("input[name='id'][checked]").val();

6. Getting Select List values

// Value
$('#selectList').val(); 

// Text value
$('#selectList :selected').text() 

// Multiple Selection
var selections = [];
$('#multipleList :selected').each(function(i, selected){
     selections[i] = $(selected).text();
});

7. Check if checkbox is Checked

$('#checkBox').attr('checked'); 

$('#checkBoxID').is(':checked'); 

$("[:checkbox]:checked").each(
    function() {
    }
);

8. Browser Detection

if( $.browser.safari ) { // Do something }

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version > 6 ) { // Do something }

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version <= 6 ) { // Do something }

if ($.browser.mozilla && $.browser.version >= "1.8" )  { // Do something }

9. Highlight a Row onClick

$("tr").click(function() {
    $(this).toggleClass("rowActive");
});

/* CSS highlights clicked row */
.rowActive {
    border: 1px solid #333333;
    background-color: #999999;
}

10. Building the DOM Dynamically

$("
").attr({id:"header", "class":"header"}).html("Welcome to my Site!").appendTo(document.body);
$("").attr("src", "images/logo.gif").appendTo("#header");

Code

public List FindResults()
 {

    var query = from items in db.TimePeriod_Items
    group items by items.TimePeriod into g
    orderby g.Key.finish
    select new ItemResults
    {
        TimePeriod = g.Key,
        TimePeriod_Item = g.Key.TimePeriod_Items.OrderByDescending(item => item.votes).Take(3)
    };

    return query.ToList();

 }

ItemResult Class

public class ItemResults
{
    public TimePeriod TimePeriod { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable TimePeriod_Item { get; set; }
}

Use in ASP.NET MVC

public ActionResult Results()
{
    var items = appRepository.FindResults();
    return View("Results", items);
}
