Generic Enum Attribute Caching

Attributes are wonderful for decorating your Enums with additional markup and meta data. However, looking up attributes via reflection is not always a fast operation in terms of performance. Additionally, no one likes typing that code over and over again.

Well not to worry, just use the following extension methods to help cache your Enum attribute look ups, and increase your application's performance! But how much faster is this? Good question...

Iterations	Average Elapsed Ticks		Difference
	No Cache	With Cache
2	1182.00	3934.00	4x Slower
10	20.10	7.10	3x Faster
100	13.07	1.37	10x Faster
1,000	13.27	1.40	10x Faster
10,000	13.56	1.45	10x Faster
100,000	13.02	1.33	10x Faster

jQuery Mobile: Touch Events Only

jQuery Mobile touch events are awesome.

In a recent project I did not need ALL of the features that the jQuery Mobile framework had to offer; I only needed the excellent touch events. While jQuery Mobile does not offer a custom feature build that includes only the touch system, it is actually quite easy to create your own build.

Just download the following files and include them in your project; but be sure to delete the define method wrapper (the first and last line of each file), as you do not need them with the complete jQuery build.

1. jquery.mobile.ns.js
2. jquery.mobile.vmouse.js
3. jquery.mobile.support.touch.js
4. touch.js

...that's it, you can now use only jQuery Mobiles touch events!
