Best of Web #6

Posted by Raffael on 12/16/2013 Posted in Best of Web Tagged Best of Web, BoW

New week, new episode of “Best of Web”. This time I have prepared myself in time, so I could publish the article for this week even before the late evening. One learns to do so.
Today there is again a more “colorful” mix than last week – in other words, not just software topics. Among other things a Turing machine out of LEGO, a few practical tips for SublimeText users and some stuff out of the programmers corner.
I hope you enjoy reading and now I give the “ring-free” for the link tips of the week.

That there is available the one or the other useful tool in Windows, which is not found right away, each should be clear about. From the remote assistance solution, up to the “God Mode” – there are a […]

Nowadays you will hardly find a website without it. What is it what I’m taling about? Did you already guess it? I mean Like buttons, Share buttons, Like counter, avatars, etc. – if you look at today’s network landscape, it’s hard to imagine that there was a time before all that fancy stuff.
And that’s why I want to show you today how to install functionalities like Facebook’s share button, Twitter’s tweet button and counter, as well as Gravatar’s user-image service. In the following tutorial you will learn how to implement these functionalities into your website.
I deliberately say “functionality” because I do not want to show you how to use the finished and standardised components, but how to address the core functionality, so you can afterwards operate quite freely, for example in the design of […]

Best of Web #5

Posted by Raffael on 12/10/2013 Posted in Best of Web Tagged Best of Web, BoW

Today the new week started, so there has to be a new article in my “Best of Web” series. Although I reached my selfmade aim (to post an Best of Web article on every monday) again this week, it is, jast as the last few times also, late in the evening. So maybe I should better announce my series as follows: “Best of the Web is a weekly series of articles, which will be, if at all, published in the night from Monday to Tuesday.” Anyway – Monday is Monday and so it goes to the next round.
This week the topics are very software-heavy – which exactly means that all articles, except for two in which the hardware is mentioned, will deal with software and software problems this week. The spectrum ranges from operating […]

Best of Web #4

Posted by Raffael on 12/02/201312/03/2013 Posted in Best of Web Tagged Best of Web, BoW

Today I wrote the fourth round of my “Best of Web” series. As some may have noticed, there have been no posts in this series for the last two weeks, even though I really wanted to bring up a contribution to the series on every Monday.
However, as I noted in the first article of the series, I have reserved the right for me that, depending on the workload and quality of the links I found in the last week, I suspend the series sometimes – and that is what happened the last two weeks. But this week I’m back with a new article.
Today there is (again) a lot about programming and hardware(-hacks) and of course again a small video clip at the end of the article. Let’s go into the fourth round!
