Get Two Years of Learnable and Help The Penguin Foundation

The SitePoint team loves innovative solutions to real-world problems. That's why we were so impressed by the Penguin Foundation's idea of using magnets to clean toxic oil from bird feathers — it's an elegant use of technology, replacing manual scrubbing with grease-cutting detergent, and it can save thousands of birds in the event of a tragic oil spill. We're not the only ones to be won over by this story: The project was a finalist in Google's Impact Challenge Australia. We're thrilled to partner with the Penguin Foundation to kick off our annual SitePoint Christmas Sale. We're offering an exclusive two-year membership to Learnable, our learning platform, for $144 — and we'll be making a donation to the Penguin Foundation that includes $75 for each two-year membership purchase. A two-year Learnable membership gives you access (and unlimited downloads!) to all SitePoint books and Learnable course, including Russ Weakley's CSS Troubleshooting, our brand-new edition of Darren Jones's JavaScript: Novice to Ninja, and our five-star-reviewed Introduction to JQuery, taught by Sachin Bhatnagar. We have already raised over $10,000 for the Penguin Foundation. If you'd like to help us take that even further, click here to buy your two-year Learnable membership!

[COMIC] Why You Should Get Rid of the #Internet

Living without the internet seem impossible nowadays. But have you ever realized how miserable your life is because of it?

Here's an info-comic from The Maple Kind team that illustrates how some internet-related things (like unreadable CAPTCHAs, auto-installing tool-bars, blogging stress, etc.) make our lives miserable.

How to Easily Convert WordPress Sites into Mobile Apps

Whether you are an advanced or novice WordPress user, for many companies and organizations, having an mobile app for your website can be a huge asset for improving overall reach. Unfortunately mobile development typically is a labor intensive field which can cost thousands for even the simplest projects. Fortunately thanks to WordPress' extensibility, there are mobile development companies which can create an app from your WordPress site by using an API provided by a standard plugin.

AppPresser

If you're looking for a seamless way to create an app with ease, AppPresser is one of the fastest solutions on the market which allows you to get your site running on HTML5, iOS, and Android in under 30 minutes by using Phonegap. Unlike many other platforms which limit you to simply creating a front-end for your mobile site, AppPresser allows you to access the WordPress management panel and plugins from within your application.

Unlike many conversion services on the market, AppPresser breaks their pricing down into bundles based on user needs. Whether you're looking for a simple site, a mobile eCommerce site, an app for social networking (using BuddyPress) or something more complex, AppPresser offers solutions to fit virtually any need.

AppPresser has no monthly fees, however you have to host your application yourself. Although hosting the app can be a burden for some, the benefit of this is that you maintain ownership of your code. Pricing for AppPress starts at $199.00 and covers up to five apps while the agency bundle includes 25 apps at $499.00. An annual renewal fee is required however, if you need to keep your application code updated.

Building a Linear-gradient Mixin in Sass

First things first: you should probably not use a preprocessor, here Sass, to add vendor prefixes to CSS properties. This is not the kind of thing you want to bring to your code base. It should typically be the kind of thing you want to treat with something like Autoprefixer.

Not only will Autoprefixer do a far better job than you at printing the accurate prefixes (I am looking at you, developers who write -ms-linear-gradient and -moz-border-radius), but it's also a breeze to update, maintain and scale. Everything is done from a configuration file, not from within the stylesheets.

Anyway, I'm done with the disclaimer. In this article, I would like to show you how to write a mixin that prints a linear-gradient as well as a fallback color and the old version for WebKit (still using the old angle notation). While you might not necessarily need it, I believe you could learn quite a few things from this code.

Note: please let me take this article as an opportunity to remind you that linear gradients only need the WebKit prefix, and none of the others. Please stop printing obsolete and absent prefixed gradients in your stylesheets. :)

Building the mixin

Building a mixin to create a gradient from arguments, convert an angle, prefix the linear-gradient property may sound like a heavy task but you'll see that it is actually very easy to achieve as long as you endeavor to keep things simple.

It has occurred to me that people writing gradient prefixes often try to parse and control everything. This is certainly not a good idea. Not only is it quite tedious to do, but it also ends up with crowded complex code that is absolutely not necessary.

Let's recap what we need to do:
