Get Month Name In Javascript

Month Name in JavaScript.
Get Month Name Javascript.
Javascript Date Object, Months Names.

There's a very simple way to get the month's name in javascript.  The only problem is, that people do it over and over instead of just placing this in the Date object.

Do, the solution is rather simple:

     Date.prototype.getMonthName = function() {
          var monthNames = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", 
                        "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ];
          return monthNames[this.getMonth()];
     }

Next time you'll want to get a name you can just:
      var month_Name = new Date().getMonthName();

p.s.
Sometime in the near future I'll upload a file with all of my extensions to Javascript's Array and Date objects.

    You can leave out the var and just return [...][this.getMonth()

    You can, but in case of JS Error you'll get hard times finding the exact error. Plus, when you learn new things, you'd better put everything as simple as possible. Worry about optimization later :)

Cloud Computing Advantages and Disadvantages

-
Cloud computing was introduced this week as a giant client server environment. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of computing on the Internet. Cloud computing refers to anything that is involved in delivering host-based services on the Internet. The services are of three types: IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service). The term ‘cloud computing’ is derived from the symbol of the cloud that often describes the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams.  Recently, cloud computing has become one of the most hyped information technology topics of the decade (Enslin 2012). With cloud computing one can access documents and applications from any part of the world. This frees you from being bound to your computer at home. Miller says that cloud computing is definitely not for everyone (Miller 2009). There are advantages and disadvantages to this type of internet computing. While analyzing the advantages, Miller says compu

Linked Files in Visual Studio 2010

File Linking, File Sharing and Shared Projects. You know how it feels to have shared files on VSS? Gooood . Actually it felt so good that my beloved CTO (who said something about promotion?) switched to TFS just 4-5 months ago.  And ever since - I cry myself to sleep every night. Instead of one file, shared between 5,6,7 or 10 projects, we now have a copied file for each project.  This is due to Microsoft "Best Practice" which says - No Shared Files . Meaning...? If I have a JavaScript file called Arrays.js.  It's all purpose is to handle arrays in JavaScript.  This file exists in 6 different projects, which mean, that if I have another addition to this small JavaScript library, I have to copy it to 6 different files in 6 different projects... JUST SHOOT ME!!! Finally, I have the fix we've all been waiting for, courtesy of VS 2010: "Add File As Link" How to Link Files to Different Projects: Let’s say we have 2 completely dif

BDD, TDD, and Everything Between

-
Behavior Driven Development, Test Driven Development, and Everything Between What is TDD (Test Driven Development) Test Driven Development was introduced by Kent Beck, in 2003.  This followed the concepts of Extreme Programming, introduced in 1999 with a development experiment done by both IBM and Microsoft. The purpose of the Test Driven Development is to make sure code is clear, tested, and as redundant as possible, by making sure the tests are written first, and code is being added to "fill the blanks".  Every code iteration needs to pass all tests (may those be unit tests, integration tests, data integrity tests, or UI tests). Writing the tests first allow us to see what fails, how, and allow us to visualize the structure of our code, by making sure each test is performed to test a specific, extremely defined sub-section of a feature. Let's assume a "BasicMaths" class, to perform simple mathematics operations. [TestClass]   public   class  Uni
