Being the pragmatic type, Chris Mills has been exploring CSS animations mostly from more of a real-world perspective, thinking about how they can be used to create usable features on web pages. And of course, he needs to consider what happens when older browsers that don’t support these features access your pages. Sometimes you can rely on graceful degradation, but sometimes you need to deal with such browser differences in a more intelligent way.
Many web developers use SSH (“Secure Shell”) on a daily basis to manage their servers, back up files, work remotely, and myriad of other tasks.

In this article the author shares some of the tips and tricks that he has picked up over the years. As the best coders write the least amount of code it would be useful for the beginners to learn how to code efficiently and how to leverage old code to be reusable.
Read MoreAt the heart of every modern Mac and Linux computer is the “terminal.” The terminal evolved from the text-based computer terminals of the 1960s and ’70s, which themselves replaced punch cards as the main way to interact with a computer. It’s also known as the command shell, or simply “shell.” Windows has one, too, but it’s called the “command prompt” and is descended from the MS-DOS of the 1980s.
Mobile development is rapidly becoming a requirement for the majority of
web developers to consider. Clients may want an exceptional website,
and a companion mobile application to allow their users and customers to
use their services regardless of location. Typically, mobile app
development brings with it a steep learning curve. With the latest
release of Adobe’s Flash Builder tool, we are now able to develop for an
Android device using familiar software and languages including
ActionScript, and deploy as an AIR application.
In part one of this tutorial, we will instal the required software and
powerful server-side application to handle remote data connections, and
produce a simple layout to display our dynamic data on an Android
device.
