37 Tested PHP, Perl, and JavaScript Regular Expressions inShare22 A regular expression, also called regex or regexp for short, is simply a piece of code that matches a pattern. Mastering regular expressions can be a difficult chore, and if you don't need them all of the time, the syntax is tricky enough to make the task frustrating or slow as you will constantly need to use a reference sheet. In order to save you time, I've compiled a list of PHP, Perl, and JavaScript regular expressions for common use cases that have been tested and are ready to go. This isn't a regular expression tutorial or even a reference; you can think of it more as a cheatsheet for when you just need the regex but don't want to put a lot of time into relearning regular expressions. If you're looking for regex tutorials or regex resources, you can find them at the end of the page as well as some additional regex resources.

Using a Pre-Launch Checklist for your Website Accounting for every aspect of a new website isn’t easy, especially at the last minute. The problems aren’t the details themselves, but rather the process of making sure that seemingly minor details don’t add up to sloppy work. The best solution is to write it all down. The worst solution is to not take a pre-launch checklist as seriously as the planning stage itself. With the hundreds of details that go into building or redesigning a website, overlooking minor points is easy, especially as deadlines loom—or pass. Call it quality control or covering your butt, but every project has certain tasks that need to be accomplished before it is launched. A pre-launch checklist entails a systematic approach to ensuring that important details are addressed before launching or relaunching a website. Most of the items on the list list will be common to all websites, including registering a domain name and removing dummy content. Accountability, Not Checkmarks Here’s a scenario.

Web design questionnaire: Top 10 questions to ask Today, most businesses want a website. Some already have one. Others want one. They don’t want to hire IT staff and probably can’t afford any. And in most cases, an in-house IT staff, especially for your typical small business, just isn’t necessary. What Do You Want? The first step is to decide exactly what you want on your website. * What kinds of information do you want to have on your site? * Will your site require regular updates? * Will you be engaging in e-commerce on this website? * Will you need a database? * How fast do you need the job done? * What is your budget? Start Your Search Doing a web search for someone that has the skills you will need for your website will still give you a humongous list of possible choices. Often, the web developers you are pondering are not located in your town. The first thing to do when considering a developer is to check out their website. * IS the website well-designed and attractive? * Is it easy to navigate? * Are there any broken links?
How to Really Build Backlinks and Dominate Google Without a doubt, the most frequent post request I’ve had on this site is a post about link building. I rarely take requests, simply because people rarely know what they really want until you give it to them, but this time things are a little different. First of all, I have been studying SEO day and night since I was 16 (almost 5 years ago) and I’ve ranked on the first page of Google for some of the most competitive keyphrases in the world. Therefore, I like to think I know quite a bit about the topic and can provide some insights in this space. For those of you who don’t know why links are important, let me just say that if you want to get traffic from the major search engines, they’re crucial. A large percentage of my income to affiliate sites is from traffic via Google, and the difference between ranking 2nd and ranking 1st can literally be thousands of dollars extra on my bottom line. SEO is generally divided into two parts: on-site optimisation and off-site optimisation. Be Useful
Checklist to Build Your Brand on a Budget By Terry CorbellThe Biz Coach Branding is very important. Nebulous branding is a leading cause of business failure. Besides ill-defined branding, when a business fails there are several likely reasons. They include poor planning, insufficient passion, ineffective management, weak finances, undesirable location, and ineffective use of technology. A solid brand will help you land customers and insure customer loyalty. Successful companies also work on continual improvement. For success in brand-building, remember it’s a process to manage the feelings and thoughts of your customers by creating a happy buying environment. How? Address the five critical value-buying perceptions that motivate customers to buy from you. Target the other 82 percent who are concerned about price but they have other concerns about value. No company has ever succeeded by only focusing on selling at the lowest price. Much like buying a house, you need to build brand equity. Test your ideas. -James L.
Les Media Queries CSS3 La spécification CSS3 Media Queries définit les techniques pour l'application de feuilles de styles en fonction des périphériques de consultation utilisés pour du HTML. On nomme également cette pratique Responsive Web Design, pour dénoter qu'il s'agit d'adapter dynamiquement le design à l'aide de CSS. Ces bonnes pratiques permettent d'exploiter encore plus les avantages de la séparation du contenu et de la présentation : l'intérêt est de pouvoir satisfaire des contraintes de dimensions, de résolutions et d'autres critères variés pour améliorer l'apparence graphique et la lisibilité (voire l'utilisabilité) d'un site web. Les plateformes exotiques sont concernées en premier lieu : navigateurs mobiles et tablettes, écrans à faibles résolutions, impression, tv, synthèses vocales, plages braille, etc. Approche historique Avec CSS2 et HTML4, il était déjà possible de spécifier un média de destination pour l'application d'une ou plusieurs feuilles de style. <! screen Écrans handheld print Impression

Sortie du CMS PluXml 5.1.1 Samedi 2 juillet 2011, la version 5.1.1 de PluXml a été mise à disposition. C'est l'évolution vers la stabilité de la 5.1beta. Elle apporte de grandes améliorations depuis la dernière version stable 5.02… Qu'est-ce que PluXml ? PluXml est un CMS ou SGC se voulant léger (comme une plume donc), fonctionnant avec php5 mais, et cela fait un peu sa particularité, ne nécessitant aucune base de données. Les fonctionnalités Il comporte globalement les mêmes fonctionnalités que les autres cms (Dotclear, WordPress, CMS Made Simple,…) : Gestion du frontend (partie publique du site) à partir d'un backend (partie administrative du site) Création et gestions d'articles, de catégories. Gestion des médias (images et documents)Gestion des commentairesGestion des paramètres de base, d'affichage,…… Cependant, certaines originalités incluses dans ce gestionnaire de site lui apporte une plus-value certaine : A présent, PluXml est traduit en 10 langues… Dans la pratique… Conclusion
Demo | jQuery.popeye 2.1 | an inline lightbox alternative with slideshow x Note: To see the full potential of CSS3 styling (shadows, gradients, rounded corners, alpha transparency), please view this page in a modern webkit or mozilla browser (Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4, Opera 10.50, Chrome 4). Other browsers will degrade gracefully. Except for IE6, though, which I didn't bother to include. Feel free to come up with your own solution ;-) Example 1 The first popeye-box uses the standard options: it floats to the left and opens to the right, its navigation and caption show on mouseover. By placing the navigation inside the stage area (where the image is displayed), we can get it to hover above the image. No need to read this, just dummy text ;-) Vivamus ut nisi id libero interdum pretium. View HTML code used in this example Example 2 The navigation stays fixed to the right of the image. There is no enlarge button, but a click on the image enlaregs and shrinks it nevertheless. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. View HTML code used in this example
