Simple Email in the Cloud In this article, I will explain how Amazon’s Simple Email Service (SES) is a better way to send email from your web application, and I’ll provide a roadmap for getting started. Generally speaking, email on the internet is sent using SMTP servers. Web applications are no exception.
Craig describes how to diagnose the problems associated with running Apache on Windows when another application is using HTTP port 80.
Adding and Deleting Resources in Sinatra In this tutorial I’m going to go through how to use Sinatra to add and remove resources to and from a database. To demonstrate this, I’m going to build a tiny web app called The Robot Factory that allows users to ‘build’ a production line of robots. Each robot will be saved to a database with randomly chosen head, body and legs and can also be deleted after it has been built. You can see the final version running here – http://robotfactory.heroku.com/ .
Logo design is its own form of art. Designers must integrate branded colors, shapes, and even words into a logo all the while balancing minimalist designs that can be use on the web or on billboards. It’s certainly a challenge. This collection of logos represent a fresh batch of up and coming designers who have come up with some noteworthy concepts
It seems like everyone these days is texting away on their mobile phone or updating their social network status every 5 minutes. It’s no surprise that the convenience of being able to access the Internet from anywhere at any time has made sharing messages and pictures so popular. I can’t imagine going anywhere without my cell phone on the off chance that something interesting might happen and I can document it as if I were the first news reporter on the scene. This is the first article in a two-part series in which I will show you how to create a photo blog as part of your personal website which you can update from your phone simply by sending an email.
Its now widely understood that Google will be unveiling the next version of its Android operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), next week on the 11th of October . It will launch along with a new flagship phone from Samsung, but along with it is a promise to get the new tasty treat OS on to many of the recently released phones . If they back this up, this means that there will soon be a lot of phones out there running the newest version of Googles OS.

You’re working on a software project, probably not a new situation if you’re reading this, and happen upon specific functionality you need for your project. Being the efficient (and lazy) developer that you are, you recognize that this functionality is general enough that it’s probably been needed by someone before and a library of some sort has been written for it. Why reinvent the wheel? So you jump on your preferred search engine, find a likely candidate, skim over the landing page, and conclude that this library meets your requirements.
Our last post flushed out the Events model and created a very basic home page. Hopefully, by the end of this post, we will be able to add, modify, and delete events from our user home page. CRUDdy Events Unless you’ve just been unfrozen from a decades long, icy slumber, you know what CRUDifying a model entails.

^[A-Za-z0-9-_.+%]+@[A-Za-z0-9-.]+.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$ It makes all the sense of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to you, although those little pictures at least look like they have meaning. But this… this looks like gibberish. What does it mean? It means oleomarg32@hotmail.com , Fiery.Rebel@veneuser.info , robustlamp+selfmag@gmail.ca , or nearly any other simple email address because this is a pattern written in a language that describes how to match text in strings
Craig's brief tutorial explains a little-known but incredibly useful CSS3 function which could change the way you approach layout design.
Common question for .NET developers deciding to venture into Ruby are: Where do I start? What should I learn first: Ruby or Rails? What do I need installed?
Let’s make a collective decision here. We’ll stop treating A-grade mobile phones as aliens, and see them for what they are: powerful, capable devices, running powerful rendering engines. Throwing a framework at your app, such as jQuery Mobile, Sencha, or anything that gives you the popular iOS-like native look and feel, instantly boxes you into a set of choices, design and functionality-wise.
In this post, I’ll explain three common approaches to positioning text labels on web forms using CSS: top-positioned text labels left-aligned text labels right-aligned text labels Using Top-positioned Text Labels Positioning labels at the top of their form elements is probably the easiest layout to achieve, as we only need to tell the label to take up the entire width of its parent element. As our form elements/labels are inside ordered list items (which are block elements), each pair will naturally fall onto a new line, as you can see from Figure 9. All we have to do is get the form elements and labels onto different lines.
Superglobals are specially-defined array variables in PHP that make it easy for you to get information about a request or its context. They are called superglobal because they are always accessible, regardless of the scope — that is, you can access them from any function, class or file without having to do anything special. The superglobal variables are: $GLOBALS , $_SERVER , $_GET , $_POST , $_FILES , $_COOKIE , $_SESSION , $_REQUEST and $_ENV .
