Welcome to my web developer site: I post stuff here that I want to be able to find later. Look around, search, post comments, subscribe to my RSS feed, or follow me on Twitter. I made this site with Datapod.
 | A slide presentation on how FMC and UML work together: "FMC is for system-related structures and UML for software-related structures", FMC fills the gap. post comment |
| a good overview of guidelines to think about when communicating with diagrams, based on FMC but widely applicable post comment |
 | Something like UML but "FMC is for system-related structures" and "UML for software-related structures" as in "The book describes Africa like software describes a system.", FMC "provides a framework to describe software-intensive systems", diagrams are easy to understand, what makes it special is it "focuses on human comprehension of informational systems". post comment |

| Article describing why you shouldn't host your own jquery but instead just reference the jquery on Google's servers, speeds things up, I just use the latter simple example, works well. UNCOMFIRMED CAVEAT: I've heard that people who have done this on their personal sites could not access these sites from within their companies since some companies have policies which disallow pulling script from other sites (protection against cross scripting). post comment |

| Regex to replace text only outside certain tags This code shows how to search and replace HTML-coded brackets with actual brackets but not withi PRE tags, e.g. if you want to include code examples between your PRE tags. It is also a nice use of preg_replace_callback.[code]$text = 'This should be <i>italic</i> but <pre>not <i>this</i> since it is in code</pre> and this should be <i>italic</i> again.';$newText = preg_replace_callback('%<|>|<pre>.*?</pre>%si', compute_replacement, $text);echo $newText;function compute_replacement($groups) { if ($groups[0] == '<') { return '<'; } elseif ($groups[0] == '>') { return '>'; } else { return $groups[0]; }} CODE post comment |
