Every web designer knows that problem. One is developing and controlling a web site within one browser. After finishing the coding part the bad awakening comes. You control the web site in another browser and you feel like looking at a complete other web site. Nothing fits. But what causes this problem? This article should deliver an answer to that question.
I was just writing an article about browser engines and wanted to include some additional links. Thereby I saw that Microsoft’s web site isn’t available at present. My Google result list showed www.microsoft.com as the first result. So far, so good. But if I tried to open that resource I got an error page instead of the expected web page.
According to my flatmate it happens frequently that Microsoft’s web page is unavailable. It seams like a wrong configured DNS server causes this problem.
As I’ve made my first steps in web design nearly 10 years ago it seams like a dream to use different fonts for websites. Ok, that’s nearly 10 years ago and nearly no section is developed that rapidly than the web. Therefore it is not surprisingly that many different solutions appear to solve that font problem. For example sIFR and Cufon, just to name two of these. Now, also Google provides a font API. The following article will throw a closer look about that solution.
Since my study at the Hochschule Furtwangen University I’m using Eclipsse PDT. And what can I say? I really love it. But even within a fantastic IDE like Eclipse sometimes problems appear. Today I got such a problem. I was working on a PHP project and I was wondering why the auto complete function was not working. This article should answer the question “How to change default project into PHP project in Eclipse“.
Design Patterns have a long tradition. The architect Christopher Alexander developed them between 1977 and 1979. Nearly ten years later the Switzer computer scientist Erich Gamma rediscovered them during his study at the University of Zurich. Later Erich Gamma moved to the USA where he wrote the Design Pattern bible “Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software” together with Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides.
