I did some more research and might have find a few good PHP equivalents: - guzzle for HTTP request handling - http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/ - Virtphp for virtual environments - https://github.com

Instead of asking broadly - and obviously get the answer "Yes! We need better tools!", you might ask yourself why you wanted to make the tool firsthand. You present two reasons: - Cross-Platform - well, web based applications all

Codecademy has hundreds of little exercises. Often, first they introduce you to a concept where you just read through the example and press Pass if you got it. After that you always have to write or correct code yourself. Pointing out at on

Agreed. It's strength is the visual presentation, not so much the technical details.

This is just another wrapper for Whatsapp's Web application. Hence it has the same limitations, especially this one: It does not work with an iPhone.

I especially like, that I can use Flask-Admin with Peewee ORM - https://peewee.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ - instead of SQLAlchemy, because I feel so much more comfortable with Peewee when doing small CRUD projects

I could not agree more about the role of paper for coding. I used to jump right into action and got lost very quickly in details and gave up soon after. Now I try to slow myself down and do sketches about quite everything. Database design s

I wish I knew of shared email providers where I do not need to share passwords. For most cases using a simple CRM tool such as helpful.io or Helpscout for email only purposes has been enough for me, but there is one big disadvantage: you ca

I held up the belief that you should design right in the browser and skip the design phase. But I came to the same conclusion as the author: thinking in code is a completely different process than drawing things and trying out how your site

You are obviously misusing the statistic. First off, the question that 55% answered positively was not whether they liked the NSA, but whether "in order to prevent terror attacks, you have to live with mass spy activities". That i

Do you have any proof for this bold claim? I will try to prove that quite the opposite is true: Germany has a very active civil society and privacy ("Datenschutz") and transparency is on the agenda not only of the opposition party

Just out of of curiosity: Which tools did you use to write the book? I know it's especially hard to create different file format (HTML, epub, PDF).

That's a very interesting hint and the demo looks promising. The project has the potential to change not only the way how to store photos, but also to manage my documents and notes and knowledge related files (books, emails, bookmarks)

Thanks for pointing to Photos' Framework. That might really solve some of the problems that you mentioned.

Photos are probably the most valuable digital files quite everyone has. And as with all things that are precious, there comes (or at least should come) caution. There is nothing that I fear more than loosing my photos, my visual biography.

Well, I did not want to defend the way .format() works now. That's why I asked for the reasoning. Your reasonable argument sounds reasonable to me, I would certainly use it. But then my initial question is even more important: Why is t

Can anyone explain the creators' reasoning beyond the existing string interpolation in Python? I never thought it was cumbersome, on the contrary I liked the verbosity of "My {name} is, I am {years} old".format(name=name, yea

It's not only MOOCs that use videos a lot. There are so many self publishers who sell videos as a bonus to an ebook. At a premium price. Nathan Barry and Brennan Dunn may be the most prominent examples for this and Barry even advices t
