I have always been a sucker for Courier New but now something new has crossed my path. A coding font I actually like more then Courier New. A font which is so readable it practically reads itself.
It is called Envy Code R. See for yourself.
My VIM.
If you are interested in using this font you can find it on the creators weblog.
Ask About PHP has put up a article about how to market your blog to search engines. I would like to add a few points of my own to their already comprehensive list which will get you noticed. Read more…
Caching. It can be done on almost everything. File systems, databases and websites, to name a few.
In the ever faster and ever more dynamic internet world it might seem that caching would eliminate dynamic content. It does not. Caching is very useful in lowering the amount of requests and could potentially save you and your client a lot of time and/or bandwidth. Read more…
Minification is a subject which comes from my heart. In this article I will talk about reducing the amount of requests to let your sites load faster.
As I wrote in my previous article minification can lead to a 90% decline in the time it takes to load a page on a clients computer. One of the main points to get this speed-up from is by cutting in the amount of requests a client needs to execute to load the total page. Ideally we should get this down to under 10 requests, however, that might not always be possible.
If you are a bit serious about coding, or maybe you read the Da Vinci code, then you might know about the Fibonacci sequence. In this sequence every next number is the sum of the two previous numbers. The Fibonacci sequence begins with 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 etc.
We can extrapolate this to make our own Fibonacci sequences. Something like a Tribonacci sequence which takes the sum of the previous three numbers to come up with the next number. It would look something like 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 7, 13 etc.
