Some good SharePoint blogs to follow

I have to admit that this post is a refinement from 25+ SharePoint Bloggers to Follow. The reason I did this is I want to provide a little bit more information about the blogs which I found are great from a developer/architect's perspective.

Path to SharePoint

 
Have to say the layout of this blog is a bit old-dated, with categories but no tags, makes it a bit hard to target the specific content you're interested.
 
Content is mixed with overviews of some solutions plus a few post taking about the "Easy Tabs" (guess it is their product). No code snippet and details.
 

Richard Harbridge: Insights

This blog provides some general overviews/comparisons for SharePoint, could be a good resource for entry level devs or business users.
 

SharePoint Javascript

As the name indicates, this blog contains a lot of posts talking about implementing Javascript with SharePoint to achieve some nice customization.
 

SharePoint Rescue

Rather than targeting specific questions and solutions, the topics in this blog is rather kind of generic. Still a good source for SharePoint enthustics.
 
TBC...

SharePoint 2013 online Parent/Child relationship - A step by step demo

SharePoint uses lookup fields to represent the Parent-Child relationship. For child list items it is OK as you can trace back to its parent from the lookup field. For parent the OOB forms are not good enough as they are not displaying the children belong to it. In real world it is often required that when view the parent list item it also displays its children, further more it is great if user can add child list items directly from the parent. In SharePoint on-premise we can use visual web parts and code the parent/child logic and use web part pages to replace the parent item forms. In SharePoint online we can't do server model code and visual web parts, so the solution is almost NO CODE and just a little bit client side scripts, and they work beautifully! Here I will do a step by step demonstration to explain the ideas:   Step 1: Create a parent list called "Category" and a child list called "Product", in Product list add a lookup field to reference Cat...
