jQuery Calendar date time picker

Filed under: Web Applications (IS 4460) — Rohit Aggarwal @ 3:08 pm

I came across this very cool jQuery based date time picker. There were some bugs initially in this code, but the owner of this blog (Dan) is a very helpful person.  On my request he fixed the issues and sent me the updated code. 

I have tested it on IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera, and it works on all.  For trying this awesome date-time picker click here

Here is the picture of this picker:

VPN client for University of Utah

Filed under: Teaching — Rohit Aggarwal @ 4:17 am

If you are looking for a VPN client for University of Utah then the link is here and the details on that page are:

The VPN client software is available at no cost for the following operating systems:

Pick the client according to your system and enjoy the online books at Safari. You will need your university ID and password to download the client.  I would have liked to download the clients and give direct links to my students; but that would have violated University policy because even the download is password protected.

 

An alternative solution to access library’s databases are:

https://tproxy01.lib.utah.edu/login

UNID ID and password.

Hi!

You can find the Course Syllabus here. Please try to keep up with the reading and work out examples regularly. If you will not work regularly then it will be hard to catchup with the class later. 

I will make sure that at the end of the class you are comfortable in making web applications such as a simple online review site.

Venture Capitalists’ (VCs’) visits

Filed under: Interesting — Rohit Aggarwal @ 10:44 pm

I am very excited that I was able to get the following VCs as guest speakers:

Feb 12, Thursday – Wayne Cantwell

March 4, Wednesday- Ashmeet Sidana

March 31, Tuesday- David Hornik

April 15, Wednesday- Anurag Chandra

April 29, Wednesday- Tim Draper

 

I have scheduled all the talks between 4.45-5.45PM as there are no classes at this time. I initially approached these VCs for guest lectures in my MBA class. Realizing that other students would also be interested, I have organized these talks at the school level.

 

These VCs fund IT related ventures and it would be interesting to know their perspectives on emerging technologies. I believe it is a great opportunity for students to bridge the gap between class room teaching and the real world of private equity financing.
