Diary of A Developer

I have found out through my own experiences and that of others, how difficult it is to get ‘sincere’ applause at the end of demo of any beta version software. Yes, you would always get some form of applause, but rarely the ‘sincere’ ones. Software demo for new products in my organization usually has in attendance several employees from different units and departments. Many attend on the basis of obligation while others are just too busy in their heads to give the session the attention it would require in order to appreciate the product being presented.

So, please guys, for your controller Javascript, steer clear of that ever useful document ready block: The Document Ready block $(document).ready(function(){}); Solution: I simply moved my page initialization codes outside the document ready block and pronto! Everything goes back to normal
