MKWS: the MasterKey Widget Set

- This site contains tools, not content: -

- mkws.js - -- - JavaScript code that powers the MasterKey Widget Set -
- /libjs-pz2/pz2api.1.js - -- - Low-level JavaScript library for access to the MasterKey web - service. -
- mkws-complete.js - -- - A single large JavaScript file containing everything needed for - MKWS to work: the widget-set itself, the API library, and any - additional prerequisites such as jQuery. -
- mkws.css - -- - A stylesheet which styles only MasterKey widgets, and does not - otherwise interfere with application-site's styles. - -

- For examples of how to use the widget-set, see: -

- A very simple application at - http://example.indexdata.com/. - It's worth viewing the source to see how small it is. -
- A more detailed version - that contains a configuration structure instead of accepting - the defaults. Includes a custom translation option to present - the application in Arabic. -
- The - jQuery plugin - version, consisting of a single line of JavaScript code. -
- An application that - uses lower-level MKWS components - rather than the all-in-one #mkwsResults division, - allowing it to use a rather different layout. -
- A version suitable for mobile devices, - with a responsive design that moves components around - depending on the screen size. -
- A version that uses a jQuery popup. -
- An existing web-site, - The Self-Appointed Grammar Police, - which has been fitted with an MKWS searching widget. - (See also the MKWS-widget customisations in - that site's stylesheet.) -
- Another existing web-site, - The Zthes specifications, - which has been fitted with a popup MKWS search-box. -

- The set of targets can be maintained: -

- Use the main - MasterKey Admin Console, - and act as the "MK Demo" library administrator. -

- Documentation: -

- The The whitepaper, including a reference section. -
- The README.html -
- The structure of the HTML generated by the MKWS widgets, - which can be used to guide the customisation of its CSS styles. -

A computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem.

Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU) and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit that can change the order of operations based on stored information. Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of operations saved and retrieved.

In World War II, mechanical analog computers were used for specialized military applications. During this time the first electronic digital computers were developed. Originally they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs).^[1]

Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space.^[2] Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and mobile computers can be powered by small batteries. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as âcomputers.â However, the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are the most numerous.
