Description:

 For explanation purpose i have created a html file with a div contains some text inside <p> tag. My goal here is i have to take the text from the p tag and i have to make the first word bold using jQuery. Below is the entire html and jQuery script which i used.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Make The First Word Bold</title>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Actual Text</h2>
    <div>
        <p>This is first sentence.</p>
        <p>Second sentence will start here.</p>
        <p>It is third sentence.</p>
        <p>Example Text Goes HERE.</p>
        <p>Good Morning Guys</p>
        <p>I am the boss</p>
    </div>
    <h2>Actual Text With First Word Bold</h2>
    <div id="links">
        <p>This is first sentence.</p>
        <p>Second sentence will start here.</p>
        <p>It is third sentence.</p>
        <p>Example Text Goes HERE.</p>
        <p>Good Morning Guys</p>
        <p>I am the boss</p>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $('#links p').each(function () {
            var me = $(this);
            me.html(me.text().replace(/(^\w+)/, '<strong>$1</strong>'));
        });
    </script>

C# Extension Methods Example

In this article i am going to explain about Extension Methods  with example. Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. For client code written in C# and Visual Basic, there is no apparent difference between calling an extension method and the methods that are actually defined in a type. If you do implement extension methods for a given type, remember the following points: An extension method will never be called if it has the same signature as a method defined in the type. Extension methods are brought into scope at the namespace level. For example, if you have multiple static classes that contain extension methods in a single namespace named Extensions, they will all be brought into scope by the using Extensions; directive. ...
