APPENDIX A

Guidelines for the Examples in the Book

This appendix provides guidelines on how to use XAMPP and Aptana Studios together to create a development environment on your PC that will allow you to develop, run, and fix the examples given in the book.

Installing a Web Server

Nowadays, on the Internet, you can easily find free software packages containing everything you need to set up a test environment for all your examples and for everything related to the web world in general.

These packages minimize the number of programs that need to be installed.More important, they may be acquired with a single installation. The packages generally consist of an Apache HTTP server; a MySQL database; and interpreters for the programming languages PHP, Perl, and Python. The most complete package is XAMPP (available for download at the Apache Friends web site [ www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html ] ). XAMPP is totally free, and its key feature is that it is a cross-platform package (Windows, Linux, Solaris, MacOS). Furthermore, XAMPP also includes a Tomcat application server (for the programming language Java) and a FileZilla FTP server (for file transfer). Other solutions are platform specific, as suggested by the initial letter of their name:

  • WAMP (Windows)
  • MAMP (MacOS)
  • LAMP (Linux)
  • SAMP (Solaris)
  • FAMP (FreeBSD)

In fact, XAMPP is an acronym; its letters stand for the following terms:

  • X , for the operating system
  • A , for Apache, the web server
  • M , for MySQL, the database management system
  • P , for PHP, Perl, or Python, the programming languages

Thus, choose the web server solution that best fits your platform, and install it on your PC.

Installing Aptana Studio IDE

Once the Web server has been installed, it is necessary to install an integrated development environment (IDE), which you need to develop your JavaScript code. In this appendix, you will install Aptana Studio as your development environment.

Visit the Aptana site ( www.aptana.com ), and click the Products tab for the Aptana Studio 3 software (at the time of writing, the most recent version is 3.6.0). Download the stand-alone edition (with the Eclipse IDE already integrated): Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_3.6.0.exe .

After the download is complete, launch the executable file to install the Aptana Studio IDE. At the end of the installation, in launching the application, you should see the workbench opening, as shown in .

During the installation of Aptana Studio, the software detects the various browsers and the web server installed and configures itself accordingly.

Setting the Aptana Studio Workspace

Before starting to develop the examples in the book, you must create a workspace. First, you should set the workspace on Aptana Studio, where the Web server document root is.

These are typical paths with XAMPP:

  • Windows: C:\xampp\htdocs
  • Linux: /opt/lamp/htdocs
  • MacOS: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs

Whereas with WAMP, this is the path:

  • C:\WAMP\www

Thus, select File Switch Workspace Other from the menu Then insert the path of the web - photo 3 Switch Workspace Other from the menu Then insert the path of the web server document - photo 4 Other... from the menu. Then, insert the path of the web server document root in the field, as demonstrated in .

Creating a Project

The next step in creating your workspace consists of creating a project in Aptana Studio:

  1. Select New Picture 6 Web Project from the menu.
  2. A window such as that shown in appears. Select Default Project, and click Next.
  3. Insert charts as the name of the project. This will be the directory in the workspace in which you will write all the example files described in the book, using Aptana Studio.

Completing the Workspace

Once you have set the Aptana Studio workspace and created a project, you complete the workspace.

Let us open the document root directory and create a new directory, named src . Now, the workspace on which you will be working throughout the book is composed of two directories:

  • src
  • charts

The src directory should contain all the files related to libraries.

The charts directory should contain all HTML, images and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) files related to the examples in the book (which is in fact a project). Each example file should be created in this directory (if you prefer to do things differently, thats fine, but it is important to take note of the different path reference in HTML pages in order to include the library files and images).

Picture 8Note The source code that accompanies this book (available from the Source Code/Download area of the Apress web site [ www.apress.com ]) is practically already packaged in a workspace. With it, you will find two versions of the charts project: content delivery network (CDN) and local. The charts_ CDN directory contains all the examples referring to libraries remotely distributed from CDN services. The charts_local directory offers all the examples referring to libraries found within the src directory.

Filling the src Directory with the jqPlot Library

If you have chosen to develop HTML pages by referring to libraries locally, it is necessary to download all their files. These files will be collected in the src directory. This is a good approach, as you can develop several projects that will make use of the same libraries without having to copy them for each project.

The versions listed in this appendix are those used to implement the examples in the book. If you install other versions, there may be issues of incompatibility, or you may observe behavior different from that described.

jqPlot library version 1.0.8 (includes jQuery library version 1.9.1)

  1. Visit the jqPlot web site ( https://bitbucket.org/cleonello/jqplot/downloads/ ), and download the compressed file (.zip, .tar.gz or tar.bz2) for the library: jquery.jqplot.1.0.8r1250 .
  2. Extract all content. You should get a directory named dist , containing the following subdirectories and files:
    • doc
    • examples
    • plugins
    • A series of files ( jquery.min.js , jquery.jqplot.min.js , and so on)
  3. Copy the set of files and the plugins directory, and place in src .

jquery UI library version 1.10.3, with the smoothness theme

  1. Visit the JQuery user interface library (jQuery UI) site ( http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ ), and download the library from ThemeRoller, with the smoothness theme: jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.zip .
  2. Extract all content. You should get a directory named jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom , with the following directories inside:
    • css
    • js
    • development-bundle
