How to detect HTML5 support for a browser?

HTML5 has introduced lots of new cool tags . Not all the browsers support all tags and also the implementation of these tags may be different for each browser. HTML5 specification defines the functional aspects of these tags and not the implementation. Also the general concensus is that by 2022 all browsers will support all new features of HTML5. Of all the modern browsers, Chrome seems to have implemented most, if not all, featutes of HTML5. IE9 supports few. Firefox sits in between. So as a developer how do you make use of the cool HTML5 features without causing any compatibility issues with existing browsers? Traditionally developers have used User Agent to detect browser type and use the features accordingly. However these days, you can easily change a User Agent by using addons in your browser. So you need a more robust way to detect the features supported by the browser as the same engine of two different versions of a browser mig...

Searching Unicode characters in Oracle table

Oracle implementation of Regular expression has no support for using hexadecimal code to search for Unicode characters. The only way to search for Unicode character is it use the character itself. Normally with Regular expression, you can use \x or \u followed by hexadecimal code to search for any character. E.g. \x20 will match space. But REGEXP_LIKE in Oracle does not support \x. You need to use unistr function to convert the code to equivalent character and then use it with REGEXP_LIKE. E.g. REGEXP_LIKE(source,'[' ||unistr('\0020')|| ']');

C# Performance Improvement - The Power of StringBuilder

Often when we are wring code we don't think about performance and go with the default options available to achieve a task. String concatenation is one such scenario. If you are doing simple and few string catenations, then you can use the following result = string1 + string2; string1+= string2; result = String.Concat(string1,string2); String.Format and string interpolation are few other options. However when you are performing large and repetitive operation, string catenation can be expensive. Here is an example to prove the point. As you can see it took 41 seconds to perform 100k string catenation. Now lets replace this with StringBuilder and see. 8 ms!!!!!! That is a massive performance difference. Hope you get the point. More info on StringBuilder can be found here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.stringbuilder?view=net-7.0
