Everyone has those little time-wasters. Those tasks you do, websites you visit, or addiction that could be better spent actually doing something productive. As I refreshed the CodeIgniter Forums for the third time this hour I got to thinking about what my time-wasters are.
Elliot Haughin has been working on a project lately that has required significant XML-RPC work in developing an API (my understanding is this is not a CodeIgniter project, although the practices outlined in the post apply just the same). In a recent post, Elliot discusses many of the benefits in developing your application’s API as [...]
In this CodeIgniter tutorial, I’ll show you how to implement AJAX, in a non-invasive manner, for the purpose of loading various dynamically generated lists. We’ll start by developing our application, a listing of blog posts that have either been published or are drafts, without AJAX. We’ll then implement AJAX in a manner that maintains our website’s functionality even if the user does not have Javascript enabled.
The Request library consists of a CodeIgniter library to determine whether a request has been made via AJAX. The Request library makes it very easy to stick to DRY principles and utilize the same controller methods for all of your users.
The license I have selected, and which you can assume all of my project are unless otherwise stated, is a personally modified version of the GNU-LGPL. I’ve updated the Flashdata Notification library’s project page to reflect this as well.
Noupe has posted an excellent array of icon sets from deviantArt - definitely some keepers in here for future projects.
Noupe is one of the newest sites I have subscribed to since my recent feed reader cleaning.
Twitter has always been a very unstable application, with period of downtime more often than not, even when they were a young a growing startup. Now that Twitter has reached a critical mass of users they seem to only be able to maintain their uptime by disabling half of the application. I’ve thought of a way Twitter can solve all of their scaling issues, as well as put a chunk of that $15 million in funding to good use.
Every so often I feel the need to clean out my feed reader. Usually, I notice that one feed in particular hasn’t updated in a long time and delete it. The tragedy continues until I am confident I have narrowed my list down to just the blogs that update regularly and that I am interested in.
I’ve owned MOGBase.com since the beginning of this year and I have yet to do anything very productive with it. So, I’m looking for ideas on where to take this domain; if you submit an idea that I like and I press forward with - you’ll get 50% ad rotation.
The Flashdata Notifications library consists of a CodeIgniter library and helper to ease the creation and display of flashdata notifications. Flashdata notifications are perfect for highlighting errors and/or successes during form processing.
