Local Storage

HTML5 Local Storage is a browser based key-value database that is available for client side applications. Java programmers (like me) will find that  HTML5 Local Storage is very similar to HashMap (or Hashtable). It is important to remember that Local Storage is available to client side applications even across browser restarts. In that context, Local Storage is similar to cookies. **But unlike cookies, Local Storage is not accessible to the server side applications. **Also cookies provide very limited storage (4 KB).

The release 2 (R2) of my URL Generator Project is now ready. You can check it out at the usual location. I am happy to share that this revision was completed on time as per my revised project plan. Of course the announcement was delayed a bit. The main additions to this version of the URL generator are HTML5 based Local Storage, a simple usage of Object-oriented JavaScript techniques and jQuery.

Today I want to announce some changes in the milestones and roadmap of my URL Generator Project.
