Google Project Hosting: SourceForge Competitor
I just found out that Google Code is now offering Project Hosting! It’s in the same style as SourceForge, but the Google way!
As a Google user you can create a project with a built-in issue tracker and Subversion repository. And if that’s not all, you can tie in a blog (at Blogger.com is you like) and adiscussion group (on Google Groups, of course).
This is really a nice package Google is offering and it looks like a serious competitor for SourceForge.
It’s just that I didn’t find any possibility to release files yet, but other than that, I’d like to move there!
How does your site look on …?
When designing a web site you always check how the site looks in different browsers, even maybe at different resolutions. But how many browsers do you really use? Firefox, Safari when on Mac, Internet Explorer when on Windows and that’s mostly it.
Browser Shots allows you to select different browsers and set several options like colour depth, screen resolution, java etc. and make screenshots of your site (by entering the URL).
I don’t need to tell you this is a great resource. It’s great to check if your design works and it’s even better to get a screenshot generated from your new designs. Only problem is that you’ll have to put them online first.
Check out some screenshots here.
Cheat sheets? Look here!
Getting confused of all the tools you use on a daily basis? Don’t remember all the exact method names and possibilities of SubVersion, Apache, HTML, CSS, MySQL, Ruby on Rails, CVS, AJAX, JavaScript, FireFox, Google, etc. etc.? There is a solution! Cheat sheets make your daily work easier by providing you all you need to know on a single paper!
Here’s a very comprehensive list of cheat sheets.
Cheat sheets are simple put a collection of all important (if not just all) functions and methods you can use for a given product, framework or language. They’re great to have on your desk if you just can’t quite remember what function to use. Check ‘em out, print ‘em out and start loving ‘em!
