There are a lot of things in development, that repeat themselves. You will find a lot of stuff, that you will keep on repeating in your code. And, wasting time for overtime is very lame and useless. So, to prevent this, the developers use cheat sheets and other cool resources, to save your time, and lots of efforts.

Cheat sheets are a cool collection of facts and figures, that are used for a quick reference. They are like those small chits, that  we used to sneak in for a test in school.

The Principles of Java Application Performance Tuning

Not every application requires tuning. If an application performs as well as expected, you don't need to exert additional efforts to enhance its performance. However, it would be difficult to expect an application would reach its target performance as soon as it finishes debugging. This is when tuning is required. Regardless of the implementation language, tuning an application requires high expertise and concentration. Also, you may not use the same method for tuning a certain application to tune another application. This is because each application has its unique action and a different type of resource usage. For this reason, tuning an application requires more basic knowledge compared to the knowledge required to write an application. For example, you need knowledge on virtual machines, operating systems and computer architectures. When you focus on an application domain based on such knowledge, you can successfully tune an application.

Sometimes Java application tuning requires only changing JVM options, such as Garbage Collector, but sometimes it requires changing the application source code. Whichever method you choose, you need to monitor the process of executing the Java application first. For this reason, the issues this article will deal with are as follows:

Auto-Filling Forms With jQuery And The Web Storage API

In a project I developed a few years ago there was a search form made of a main field and then many other fields to refine the search. In that project a user typically needed to perform the same search multiple times with just one or two fields changed. Filling the form again and again was a pain so we decided to help the users in quickly achieving their goal.

In this article I’ll show you how to recreate the same improvement using jQuery, jQuery.deserialize, and the Web Storage API.

The Requirements
To improve the form I mentioned in the introduction, we decided to show a list of previously performed searches, up to 20. The searches are stored into the browser using the Web Storage API. If you have a login system in place, you may want to modify the demo so that the searches are stored in a database. In my case this wasn’t an option as there wasn’t a login system.
