All About Microformats

No Comments

lIf you’re not familiar with the concept of POSH (plain old semantic HTML), the first thing to know is that producing semantic code that reflects content contextually (rather than stylistically) is a critical component of the web design process. While HTML has a whole bunch of awesome elements by which to convey meaning, a slew of purpose-built microformats (conventions) have been created to better represent the kind of content that exists on the page. This guide discusses popular microformats that can enhance the semantics and interoperability of your website.

No Comments

Sometimes you may need to update multiple rows of data in a table. This is no problem a lot of the time, as the fields to update may all need to be changed to the same value, in which case you might run a query like the following.

Flash Vs HTML5

No Comments

The Flash Vs HTML5 debate has caused much discussion over the recent months and it certainly got us thinking here at Code. We believe the two technologies are not in competition and each have their purpose, but thought it might be amusing to actually put them in direct competition.

Visual context for your Google Analytics data

No Comments

When looking at Google Analytics reports, sometimes it’s difficult to visualize how visitors navigate on a given website page. To make this visualization easier, some users keep the website open in another browser tab so they can reference it while looking through reports. Others rely on the Site Overlay report in Google Analytics, which, admittedly, hasn’t worked as well it could.

Today, we’re happy to share with you a bit of what we’ve been working on to address this problem. We’re releasing a new feature into beta: In-Page Analytics. With In-Page Analytics, you can see your Google Analytics data superimposed on your website as you browse.

Fundamentals of Game Design

No Comments

Starting out creating an interactive experience, of any sort really, can be rather daunting. In this tutorial, we’ll run through the basic components of a game, so we can get a handle on what the next steps are when you make the jump from the training tutorials to your own projects.

Often people have trouble when conceptualizing a game. The idea, after all, is often the easy part. It’s actually making it, and figuring out where to start, that is the hard part.

Very interesting read.  Just makes sense.

Codepad online compiler

Codepad

Codepad is an online compiler/interpreter, and a simple collaboration tool

Not too sure why you would use this as it seems a little dangerous (your code is stored on their server).  Enlighten me, why would I need this?

Easiest way to create a Gallery in WordPress

No Comments

(the above was generated with this method)

It’s so simple you’re going to kick yourself for not using it.

To create a post/page in WordPress which becomes a gallery of images (thumbnails):

  1. Create a new page/post
  2. Upload/Attach images to the post or page using the ‘Add an Image‘ Upload/Insert feature above the content editor
  3. Add the shortcode “[ gallery ]“ anywhere in the post/page (remove the quotes and spaces)
  4. That’s it.  All images attached to that page/post will be displayed as a gallery

Some Options:

  • columns - How many columns will be used to display the gallery of images
  • size - What size should the images be presented in (“thumbnail”, “medium” and “large”)
  • orderby - Order to show the gallery

This is a great way to create simple galleries, listing of screenshots or a neat order display of images attached to a post/page.
