Limiting The Visibility Of Posts In Wordpress Via Usernames

Controlling who is able to view a post is a simple task once the system is established. Limiting access to certain users has several applications, such as enabling a design studio to distribute artwork to its various clients, or enabling a small school to arrange for homework to be posted online using a cheap and easy solution. The easiest method to get this system working is to make the recipients of the information ?subscribers? (since they need not be able to post) and the distributors of information ?authors? (since they should only be able to edit their own posts).



Are You Loosing Traffic By Poor Website Performance?

Website performance is a hugely important topic, so much so that the big companies of the Web are obsessed with it. For the Googles, Yahoos, Amazons and eBays, slow websites mean fewer users and less happy users and thus lost revenue and reputation. In your case, annoying a few users wouldn’t be much of a problem, but if millions of people are using your product, you’d better be snappy in delivering it.



Photo Retouching Tips And Tips In Photoshop

Two weeks ago we published the first part of Photoshop tips and tricks for photo retouching. Today, we’ll be presenting the rest of the article. We hope that these techniques will be quite useful for your workflow. You may know some of them, but hopefully not all of them. We have had articles on various tools in Adobe Photoshop but this one is focused more on the techniques rather than the tools provided.



When Your Code Has To Work Complying With Legal Mandates

Douglas Crockford famously declared browsers to be “the most hostile software engineering environment imaginable,” and that wasn’t hyperbole. Ensuring that our websites work across a myriad of different devices, screen sizes and browsers our users depend on to access the web is a tall order, but it’s necessary. If our websites don’t enable users to accomplish the key tasks they come to do, we’ve failed them. We should do everything in our power to ensure our websites function under even the harshest of scenarios, but at the same, we can’t expect our users to have the exact same experience in every browser, on every device.



Responsive Web Design Techniques Tools And Design Strategies

Back in January, we published an article on responsive design, Responsive Web Design: What It Is and How to Use It. Responsive design continues to get a lot of attention, but considering how different it is from the ?traditional? way of designing websites, it can be a bit overwhelming for those designers who have yet to try it. To that end, we’ve compiled this round-up of resources for creating responsive website designs.



jQuery And Javascript Programming Examples And Top Practices

The article will explore what constitutes best practices with regard to Javascript and, furthermore, why jQuery is a good choice of a framework to implement best practices.

Guidelines For Successful Communication With Clients

OK, so this is a yet another article about dealing with clients. But let?s face it ? it doesn?t matter how well you can design or code; as a freelancer or if you’re running a digital agency, if you don?t get the client management right, it can spell disaster for your business. By getting it right from the very beginning, you?ll most likely see things flourish. In a previous article on How to Explain to Clients they are Wrong, I discussed one aspect of client management, but oh my, there are so many and that is why I would like to discuss yet another aspect in this article: how to maintain project productivity and momentum when working with clients.

10 Places For Design Inspiration

When Leonardo Da Vinci attempted to build the world?s first robot in 1495, his inspiration had come from the ancient Greek texts of Ctesibus and Vitruvius. Likewise, Auguste Rodin cited Lorenzo Ghiberti?s ?Gates of Paradise? as the inspiration for his famous sculpture ?The Gates of Hell?. Designers and artists have traveled the world for centuries looking for those brilliant moments of inspiration.

Given Enough Money All Bugs Are Shallow

Eric Raymond, in The Cathedral and the Bazaar, famously wrote

Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.

The idea is that open source software, by virtue of allowing anyone and everyone to view the source code, is inherently less buggy than closed source software. He dubbed this "Linus's Law".

The Splendid Way To Learn C Coding Language

Tips to learn c programming for programmer
C is a programming language for general purpose, structured, imperative, procedural, low-level, standardized, created in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs, for use in the UNIX operating system. Since then it has spread to too many other operating systems and has become one of the most commonly used programming languages.

C programming language has the strength, its efficiency, and is the preferred programming language for developing systems and base software, although it is also used to develop computer programs. It is also widely used in the teaching of computer science; it has not been designed for students and presents some difficulties in its use for teaching. Another important characteristic of C is its proximity to the machine code, which enables a designer; it is able to make some predictions of how the software will behave, when executed.

Definitely there is no one single best way to learn the C programming language instead it depends on the type of person a learner is. In this article we will just go through some of the best ways of learning and working on C programming language according to the type of learners.
