Using .htaccess to add trailing slashes to all URIs or URLs
Apache's Rewrite Module allows developers to define extensive URL Rewriting and Redirecting Conditions & Rules, one of which could be to add trailing slashes to Representational State Transfer (RESTful) URLs. RESTful URLs are Uniform Resource Indicators (URIs) that are more user- and SEO-friendly than standard GET-based URIs. For example (GET vs.

Le module Apache mod_rewrite
mod_rewrite provides a way to modify incoming URL requests, dynamically, based on regular expression rules. This allows you to map arbitrary URLs onto your internal URL structure in any way you like. It supports an unlimited number of rules and an unlimited number of attached rule conditions for each rule to provide a really flexible and powerful URL manipulation mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend on various tests: server variables, environment variables, HTTP headers, time stamps, external database lookups, and various other external programs or handlers, can be used to achieve granular URL matching. Rewrite rules can operate on the full URLs, including the path-info and query string portions, and may be used in per-server context (httpd.conf), per-virtualhost context (<VirtualHost> blocks), or per-directory context (.htaccess files and <Directory> blocks).
Unicode Transformation Formats
The ISO 10646 Universal Character Set (UCS, Unicode) is a coded character set with more than 40'000 defined elements. It is expected that this cardinality will grow to more than 100'000 soon, through additional definitions for characters that do not yet have a coding, so that all the world's characters will be represented in Unicode. But how can you represent more than 2^8 = 256 characters with 8bit bytes? This chapter explains and discusses the concepts of coded character sets versus their encoding schemes as well as the various Unicode representation schemes along with their implementation level on Unix: most prominently UTF-8 beside its precursors EUC and UTF-1 and its alternatives UCS-4, UTF-16, UTF-7,5, UTF-7, SCSU, HTML, and JAVA. Another fine web page describing these subjects is Jukka Korpela's tutorial on character code issues.
5 Awesome Learning Resources For Programmers (To help you and your kids to grow the geek neurons)
Happy New Year, this is my first post in 2012. I’ll be sharing few awesome learning resources I’ve bookmarked, and will be pointing out some specific computer/programming related courses I've found interesting from these resources. Also, thought about saving this blog post for my kids as well - instead of investing in these Child education schemes (though they are too small as of today, 2 years and 60 days respectively ).

Sass vs. LESS
"Which CSS preprocessor language should I choose?" is a hot topic lately. I've been asked in person several times and an online debate has been popping up every few days it seems.
