If you update your hosts file to point a domain to another location, accessing that domain will take you to your new destination. For example, in Windows, your hosts file is at
C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts
If you add the following:
127.0.0.1 www.google.com
and then open your browser and go to www.google.com, you will not see Google’s home page but rather your local host index page. This can be handy when you want to disable one javascript include in a page that you don’t have access to. By pointing the external javascript domain to your local host, a 404 not found will be triggered which will prevent the code from running. Everything else, including other references to external javascript files, in the page will still continue to execute.
It’s about time somebody did this!

When you’re creating a form and have checkboxes and/or multi-value selects that take multiple values, in PHP you specify the field name with brackets as in
<input name=”category[]” >
In order to select this element in jQuery, you need to escape the brackets with double slashes as in
$(“[category$='[]’]”)
I just discovered T-slot aluminum profiles and think they’re some of the most useful things to exist. They’re like Legos for adults. Basically, you can easily build frames for structures using these things. Since there was so much information to absorb, I created a cheat sheet to quickly see what parts are available.
Essential, easy reading for any web developer.
Unless you’re someone special or extremely lucky, which most people aren’t, getting venture capital is almost impossible. So forget that and just launch on these crowdfunding platforms. If you see traction, it’ll be a lot easier to VC funding to grow.
When you’re righting some Javascript / jQuery and run your code, you normally would see your errors in your browser inspector’s console tab so you can easily fix them. But, sometimes the error you see appears in 3rd party code that you haven’t even touched, e.g. jQuery. One way to find where the “real” error has occurred is by looking at the call stack. In Chrome Inspector, do the following:
When you’re dealing with file names, it’s nice to have them all use the same naming convention. Here’s a free Windows utility that makes it easy to bulk rename a bunch of files.

Usually I need to find and replace strings with other strings, which is easy to do using your standard “Find and Replace” function in your text editor. But, oftentimes I also need to find certain lines of text and remove everything EXCEPT them. Trying to write a regex to search and replace everything BUT a particular string is complicated. An easier way is to just use the unix command “grep”. For example, if you want to extract all lines in a file called report.txt that contain the word “time” in them, you can do
$ grep ‘time’ report.txt
If you want to output the result of this filtering to a file, you can run
$ grep ‘time’ report.txt > filtered-report.txt
If you want to extract certain pieces of text in each line of a file called report.txt where those pieces of text are offset from the beginning of each line based on certain delimiters, e.g. commas, tabs, spaces, then you can use the awk command.
