Earlier this year, I wrote an article about PHP-CI, which you can use as a continuous integration tool for your PHP projects. Within this article I indicated I still liked Jenkins the most as a CI tool. Time to dive into Jenkins and see how we can set this up for our PHP project.
The list of things that Jenkins has to offer is huge due to the rich plugin system it has. Basically, Jenkins is just a tool which connects all kinds of different tools and plugins together to create a report for you. For example, it can run PHPUnit and show you the results in a graph over time. It can check your PHP code for errors by running php -l. However, you can also let Jenkins build a project and output a zip file, which you can use to deploy your application. The advantage of this is that you get a complete zip file back to upgrade your production application without having to run tools like Composer or NPM on your production servers.
Jenkins can be used for many different applications. You can use it for web applications written in PHP, but also for software and mobile applications written in Java or any other language. This makes Jenkins a very versatile tool and very interesting for companies handling many different projects.
Because Jenkins has so many options and possibilities, it looks overwhelming for people to start using it. Within this series of articles, we will slowly work our way into Jenkins. We will start with the installation and setup. After that we will continue with analyzing a project. In the end, we will take a close look at numerous other plugins we can use to check the quality of our product.
We will mainly focus on the quality of the PHP code, but in the end we will also take a short look at analyzing our HTML, CSS and JavaScript which work in close harmony with PHP.

A twist on the old school LOWSRC IMG attribute, which would render a lower file size image first while a larger file size image would appears in its place later.
However, if the HiSRC plugin detects fast network or high resolution, then a high resolution image takes the image's place.

React is an open source library for building user interfaces. It lets you create views easily while making sure your UI stays in sync with the underlying data model. This article, targeted towards beginners, covers the basics of React and JSX syntax.
To get started, head over to the official React official website and download the React starter kit. It contains all the files you need to get started.
Once you have download the .zip, extract it to a location on your machine. You will see a directory named React-<version>. On my machine the name of the directory is react-0.12.0. Open it and go to the build directory. We are going to need the following two files:
JSXTransformer.js - Lets you create JavaScript objects through simple HTML.react.js - The core React library.Let's create a file named index.html inside the directory react-<version> and add the following snippet:
The above snippet prints Hello, Universe on the UI. You should note the following points:
Greeting. In React, you create a component by calling React.createClass(). Every component has a render() method which returns markup to render. In the above snippet we simply returned <p>Hello, Universe</p>, which is then displayed in the view.React.render() with the component to render as the first argument. The second argument is the HTML element where you would like to render your component. In our case we render our Greeting component into div#greeting-div .<Greeting/> really is? This syntax is known as JSX (JavaScript XML) which lets you build DOM nodes with HTML-like syntax. However, JSX is completely optional and you don't need it in order to use React. But it has a lot of nice features and there is no reason not to take advantage of it.Continue reading %Getting Started with React and JSX%
Using CSS3 properties can give your websites a huge boost in appeal and interactivity. 3D transformations, keyframe animations, background gradients, and columns are great tools, but they require extra work on the developer’s part. Various browsers support them experimentally and require vendor-specific prefixes for these properties. Here’s an example of what I mean:
In order to use this transform property across modern browsers (that is, anything after IE8), two additional copies of the rule are needed: -webkit- (for Safari, Mobile Safari, and recent Chrome) and -ms- (for IE9). Firefox (16+) and Chrome (36+) read the unprefixed property correctly.
A site that uses lots of CSS3 properties therefore needs lots of prefixes. That raises two problems. First, how do you know which prefixes to use? Sometimes you’ll see a site that uses everything (-webkit-, -o-, -moz-, -ms-, and unprefixed). That’s just bloat. You could look up every property on Can I Use, but that’s time-consuming. The second problem is simply that nobody wants to write all those prefixes.
We need to automate this. Let’s look at some tools that help us automate vendor prefixes.

QR codes (or 'Quick Response codes') are one of the most popular types of barcodes in use today, with the ability to encode up to 4296 characters. The QR code has become incredibly popular due to their fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to other types of barcodes.
Typical QR code applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, general marketing, URLs and much more. It's also used for the tracking of physical items, such as mail and packages. Barcodes are now commonly used for tickets which are scanned to allow to access to events.
QR codes are widely used on websites where they generally represent the URL of the website. When someone wants to read the content of your web page on their mobile phone, they can scan the QR code and which opens the URL in a browser instead of manually typing a long URL.
There are several types of QR codes, Model 1, Micro, IQR, SQRC and LogoQ. Model 1 is the most common type of QR code type and it's the one we'll be using in our example.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a plugin that adds a QR code to the end of every WordPress post that represents the full URL.

Web developers have a duty to ensure their shiny new web site or application works on a variety of browsers. At the absolute minimum, that means Chrome/Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Ideally, Safari and a few mobile iOS and Android browsers would complete the job. Testing is not easy. It's laborious and our efforts are thwarted by the availability of browsers on our OS of choice. Windows/Linux users cannot install Safari and Mac/Linux users cannot install Internet Explorer. Services such as BrowserStack can help but are only suitable for basic testing because it's difficult to use developer tools. The most viable option is to use another PC or install the OS/browser in a virtual machine environment such as VirtualBox, VMware or Hyper-V. To their credit, Microsoft provide a range of VM images at modern.ie but the downloads can be several Gigabytes in size because they include the whole OS stack. They also expire after several months. It's not conducive to quick and dirty testing and, somewhat understandably, many developers don't bother. Fortunately, Microsoft has created a faster, slicker option. RemoteIE allows you run the latest version of Internet Explorer from the cloud on Windows, Mac, iOS or Android without having to install or manage a virtual machine. The free service is currently in beta but it works and is technically stunning!

Since the birth of the digital camera, there has certainly never a shortage of imagery. In fact, Yahoo! estimates we'll take 880 billion digital photos in 2014. Our challenge has never been a lack of choice -- it's locating precisely the image we want in this vast ocean of imagery. As Coleridge wrote "Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.”.
Of course, it can often depend on the kind of image you seek. If you're looking for commonly photographed objects such as computers, books, or flowers, you shouldn't have to search long to find dozens of good ones.
However, try searching for less common objects, or for abstract concepts -- perhaps a sunny day or a particular type of flower -- and it can get tougher. Part of the difficulty stem from the fact that even a perfect image, it may not be tagged in a way that allows you to find it.
The advantage of these search engines for free images is that they (in theory) search multiple sites with free images at once. However, in practice some of these search engines search just a bunch of sites, not dozens of them. Anyway, it's more than nothing but if you hope these image search engines are a blessing, you'd better get realistic.
It's hard to compare the quality of the 7 search engines included in the article. At first I wanted to run the same queries through all of them and compare the results.
However, after I tried some very popular terms (computers in particular) and got thousands of results from some of the engines as well as no results for some not so popular terms (probably because I simply didn't use the right keywords), I decided that such a test would give misleading results.
What's more, these search engines index new images daily, so even if today there is not a single image for “sunny day”, for example, tomorrow dozens of such images might get added and my conclusions will be wrong. Therefore, I won't be comparing the quality of the search for these 7 engines – I will just list my impressions with them, as well as some facts, such as the number of photos they include in the search or the sites they search.
Before we go on with the search engines themselves, here is a word of advice. Even if in the search results you find images labeled as free for commercial use, always check the source site itself for the latest version of the license. It's not unheard of images that were licensed as free but later the author had second thoughts and modified the license. Because of this, always check the license before you use the image.
For many of us, Google Images is the first (and frequently the only) choice to find free images that are allowed for commercial use as well. In order to take advantage of Google Images, after you type your keywords in the search box and hit Enter, click the Images tab (1).

Markdown is a syntax designed specifically for easier web writing. In this post, you’ll find the best free online Markdown editors.
StackEdit is a free online Markdown editor loaded with useful features. It has a visual tool bar for formatting (bold, emphasis, lists, etc.). It can sync with cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive, and import files from a URL or your computer’s hard drive. A nifty helper feature of this Markdown editor is it can convert HTML to Markdown.
Dillinger has a clean user interface that will help you compose Markdown text easier. This online Markdown editor links up with four web services: Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, and even GitHub. You can export your text to HTML, styled HTML, Markdown (.md), and PDF. It has a "distraction-free" mode which hides everything except your Markdown text so you can focus on writing.
Markable is a basic online Markdown editor. All it has (unless you create an account on their site to access more features) is the ability to preview your Markdown-formatted text and an option to download your work as either an HTML or Markdown (.md) file.
This barebones web-based Markdown editor gives you a live visual preview of your Markdown text as well as its HTML-markup equivalent.
Markdown Journal is a very simple online text editor that syncs with Dropbox. To be able to use it, you will have to give it access to its own Dropbox folder.
Dingus is a relatively old and extremely simple Markdown online editor. What makes this tool special is it’s by Daring Fireball (John Gruber), the creator of Markdown. Don’t quote me on this because I’m not sure, but this might very well be the first online Markdown editor.
Markdown-Editor is a minimalist Markdown editor that can also handle the GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) variant. It syncs with Google Drive.
This is another option if you want to compose GitHub Flavored Markdown. It doesn’t have cloud storage syncing capabilities, but it has a visual preview pane so you can see the results of your Markdown formatting.
Writebox is a distraction-free text editor that supports Markdown. When you start writing, it hides everything except your text. This online text editor can sync with Dropbox and Google Drive, has a few keyboard shortcuts, and allows you to download your text in HTML or .txt format.
wri.pe is a simple web-based notepad that supports Markdown. You can back up your notes in Dropbox or Evernote.
There are a lot of free online Markdown editors out there. However, two of them truly stood out to me: StackEdit and Dillinger. Both of these online Markdown editors have the features needed for practical writing, and that’s why they get my vote.
If you work on a lot of GitHub projects, Markdown-Editor and (GitHub-Flavored) Markdown Editor can make writing your docs and README.md a bit easier.
Markdown is an excellent syntax for Web writers. It’s simple, intuitive, not cumbersome like HTML, and designed specifically for composing text that will eventually find its way on the Web.
