Every web developer needs to set up a development environment—a set of tools to work with, such as
… and so on. Having a good setup is crucial for maximizing productivity.
Development stacks vary from developer to developer, and can depend a lot on a developer's field of work. However, there are some pretty typical setups. SitePoint has recently published examples of local development environments for Linux, Windows and Mac.
In this article, I'll take a look at a fourth kind of development environment—one that's based wholly in the cloud. This will normally happen through a third party service, and there are quite a few to choose from—such as Cloud9, Codenvy and Nitrous.
When using a cloud development environment, you're actually a client of a development platform as a service (dPaaS)—which offers a lot more than just an online code editor.
Faster setup
Firstly, developing in the cloud reduces the setup time. Usually you can use your framework of choice, or use boilerplate code structured as it should be, and all that is done by only clicking some buttons.
Access from Anywhere
You can code from any computer, as long as you have an internet connection—whether you're using the latest iMac, an old Netbook or even a tablet.
Remote Pairing
One of the features I love about these environments is remote pair programming. Cloud IDEs allow more than one developer to access the source code at the same time. You can see each other write code, test and chat in real time.
Multiple Installs
I recently had a problem with a Scala application. The dependencies just wouldn't install. It turned out to be because I had Java 8 installed, while some of the dependencies required Java 7. I did't want to downgrade, since it would probably affect other applications, so I decided to go on with a Vagrant config. Well, if you're in the cloud, you don't have to do that. You can require a container for each application you develop, and the container will be just like you want it to be (Java 7 in this case).

Password masking is a technique used by developers to prevent someone from reading the password on the screen while the user is typing the password. However, password masking ends up causing many problems when it comes to the user experience. In this article, we will outline some of these issues caused by password masking and also some solutions.
In particular, we will focus on the user experience problems relating to password masking on the WordPress admin login and password reset forms. We will also create a WordPress plugin which adds a checkbox to the login and password reset forms to show or hide text in a masked password field.

Password masking is a practice of obscuring all the characters of a password field. This is done to prevent someone from reading the password on the screen while the user is typing it.
Here is how a masked password field looks:
However, in practice this can cause usability problems in many modern computing devices which have either smaller keys for typing are using touch screens.
