In this article by Andrew Schwabe, we will learn how to setup the basic structure of a website using CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language), and adding the capability to render any page as a PDF dynamically using Railo open source.
In this article by Reynante Martinez, we’ll cover everything from modeling a tin can from scratch, giving it some basic shading, adding appropriate textures, finalizing the lighting schemes for the scene to lastly compositing it for a better feel.

jQuery is a JavaScript Library, where you can utilize and develop innovative web reusable components. "jQuery simplifies traversing of HTML document, simplifies event handling, animating and Ajax interactions". Using jQuery, we can develop and add robust web components to our web applications. It is very light weight—about 19KB in size (Minified and Gzipped) and can be downloaded from this location
http://jquery.com/. In this article, we will explain how we can develop a Simple Alphabetical Glossary, which can be used in our web projects. A glossary is an alphabetical list of terms with the definitions for those terms. In this example, you can click on the respective alphabet to get you the definition/list of that term with highlighted blue color.
As a .NET developer, you’ve probably heard IronPython mentioned in a blog post or an article, but do you know what it is? IronPython is Microsoft’s implementation of the Python language. Python is known for readability and its’ proponents claim that applications written with Python are done faster, use fewer lines of code and are more maintainable than those written using more traditional languages. The great thing about IronPython is that you get the advantages of the language, while being able to leverage your knowledge of the .NET framework. In this article, we will cover a few basic aspects of IronPython and use them to create a Windows Form.
In this article we'll look at PHP's "magic" features: Magic methods are class methods with specific names, are used to perform various specialized tasks. They are grouped into two: overloading methods and non-overloading methods. Overloading magic methods are used when your code attempts to access a method or a property which does not exist. Non-overloading methods perform other tasks. Magic functions are similar to magic methods, but are just plain functions outside any class. Currently there is only one magic function in PHP. Magic constants are similar to constants in notation, but act more like "dynamic" constants - their value depends on where you use them. We'll also look at some practical examples of using some of these, and lastly we'll check out what new features PHP 5.3 is going to add.
Wordpress is the most widely used content management system amongst bloggers for many reasons. Not only does it make site management seem like a walk in the park, but it also uses a type of shared hosting, which means that most users can afford it. It has plug-ins for any occasion and desire and finally, it has themes. For many Wordpress users, finding the right theme is a long process that often leads to endless tweaking in the code and stylesheets. However, only a few ever consider learning how to create their own. If you are one of them, this tutorial will help you learn how to built and start your own theme.
Even though a trixbox system is a phone system, it is still a basic computer system like any other. One of the problems that we face is that extensions and VoIP service providers typically come into the system over the open Internet; this means that certain aspects of our system are wide open to the outside world. During the week that this article was written, several new scripts came out that allowed people to scan machines over the Internet, find systems that are running Asterisk, get the list of available extensions, and then hack the passwords. Because of issues like this, it is more imperative than ever that you understand how to properly secure your trixbox server from the outside world. In this article we will focus on how to secure the trixbox server.
It is likely that at some stage, you will want to upgrade at least some content from plain text to something that looks a little out of the ordinary. In this article we will have a look at the CCK module provided by Drupal which is used to build custom content types that can be tailored to suit your needs. In effect, it gives you control over which fields are presented to a user whenever they post content using custom content types. The term field refers to a given piece of content within a node. Conversely, a node is a collection of fields.
In this article we will see how Taxonomy makes Drupal's classification system so powerful. The method of categorizing content in Drupal makes it one of the most sophisticated content management systems around. Take the time to master working with taxonomy in Drupal, because not only will this help you to work out how to manage content better, but it will also really set your site apart from others because of the flexible and intuitive manner in which the content is organized. These attributes allow you to manage a site of pretty much any size imaginable (just in case what you are working on is "the next big thing").
The Dojo Toolkit is an Open source JavaScript toolkit which can be used to develop stunning web pages. I liked it from the very beginning. It is very fast and provides lots of tools to work with DOM, Animations, AJAX etc. The base code is lightweight (~26 KB). jQuery, even lighter, also Open Source, is the write-less, do-more, cross-browser, CSS3 compliant JavaScript library. In this article we will experiment embedding jQuery in DOJO 123's Accordion widget and try to identify if there exists any cross-code interactions. The code is also tested for cross-browser suitability.
