"Web applications have evolved from simple HTML pages into rich, interactive applications that provide a great user experience. Today's web apps pose a challenge for developers, however: how do you create and maintain efficient JavaScript code that downloads quickly and works across different browsers?

The Closure tools help developers to build rich web applications with JavaScript that is both powerful and efficient. The Closure tools include: "

"One quick way is to alphabetize the entire UCM menu. Jason Stortz over at Redstone Content Solutions wrote a terrific component that does just that. He's made available on his blog. I must admit, I'm so used to the alphabetized version of the UCM menus...it's hard for me to go back to the standard version.

But if you want to only alphabetize the profile menus themselves, then there is a file you can modify to do so. The profiles are defined in the file [ucm dir]/data/profiles/document/dpprofiles.hda. If you open that in a text editor, you'll see that the profile entries are part of the DocumentProfiles result set. "

"But there is a way to allow those images to also be available statically so that the server doesn't have to extract them with each request. The current ZipRenditionManagement component (version 2009_05_04 (Build 45)) now has the ability to place particular image rendition files in their own sub directories for static delivery. There are four methods offered to create and access those renditions."

"In day-to-day operations, there isn't much you need to do in regards to maintenance of a UCM instance. You may check the Work In Progress queue to make sure things are converting and indexing fine. You may check the database and file system to make sure space and performance are OK. And then maybe take a peek at the logs to look for any suspicious errors popping up. But that's about it.

But there is actually a utility that comes with the product which helps keep things in shape called the Content Server Analyzer. It's a process that runs on the server that checks the integrity of the file system, database, and search collection. The 3 major components that make up the repository. It will look for things like:"

"Yoono is a Firefox extension that works like a sidebar and lets you stay updated with friends and websites. You can stay connected with friends on social network websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Piczo, Flickr and Friendfeed. You can also talk to your friends using AIM, MSN and Yahoo Messenger using the widget. Yoono is a great extension if you want to save time switching between all the social network websites you use and keep less messenger programs running because of the built in instant messenger support. In a way Yoono is like Flock in the way that it keeps you connected with your social networks such as Flickr but I think Flock does a better job at it."

"For those using UCM to store images and rendition them using the Digital Asset Management module, it may be useful to add watermarks to those images. Watermarks could be other images such as a corporate logo or text that's applied to the image.

The default 3rd party conversion utility that the DAM Converter is configured for is Image Alchemy from Handmade Software Inc.. While it has a large range of file format support, it does not have the ability to watermark. But DAM Converter can be configured to use ImageMagick instead, which does have watermarking."

I really like Screenr. If you haven’t tried it out yet, you should give it a whirl. Here’s what I like best:

* Screenr is super easy to use and there’s nothing to download. You just click the record button on the website and you’re recording your screen activity and your narration.
* The image quality is pretty darn good. You can even watch the screencasts back at HD-quality and they look great.
* Screenr gives you multiple ways to use your screencasts. It works with Twitter and the screencasts play as Flash on the web. You can also upload the screencasts to YouTube. And you can even download the videos as MP4 files. They also look nice on the iPhone. All these options give you a number of ways to reach your learners.
* My favorite…there’s no branding on the downloaded MP4 files. Since you can download the videos, you’re free to use them as you wish. That means you can use it in your elearning courses without looking like one of those MLS soccer players. Go Sounders!
* And of course, Screenr is free. Free is always good.

From keeping track of grades to sharing lesson plans, from helping students collaborate to communicating with parents, teachers now have a host of web-based tools at their disposal to help them stay organized and make their jobs easier.

Teachers have one of the most difficult and least appreciated jobs in the world, and most of them spend many unpaid hours after school doing extra work coming up with lesson plans and managing their classrooms. That’s why it is exciting that new tools are making it easier for teachers to manage the administrative tasks — like keeping track of attendance — so they can focus more energy on helping students learn.

Here is a collection of ten teacher applications that really make the grade. Do you know of any other applications that can be helpful for teachers? Let us know in the comments.
