I just read the png spec, and came up with this as a minimal, zlib based png encoding of a truecolour image with 1-4 channels
// by alex evans, 2011. released into the public domain.
// based on a first ever reading of the png spec, it occurs to me that a minimal png encoder should be quite simple.
// this is a first stab - may be buggy! the only external dependency is zlib and some basic typedefs (u32, u8)
//
// more context at http://altdevblogaday.org/2011/04/06/a-smaller-jpg-encoder/.

How to update your application in Cloud Foundry without dropping user requests..
# vmc update is great for test and development, however it stops your old app and stages and starts the new one,
# resulting in dropped requests.
# If you want to update an application without dropping user requests, see below.
# NOTE: This change assumes your application can share services, etc with the new version.
# Assume my app is named foo
vmc push foo-v2 --url foov2.cloudfoundry.com

Lessons from a JavaScript code review

#Lessons From A JavaScript Code Review

I was recently asked to review some code for a new JavaScript application and thought I might share some of the feedback I provided as it includes a mention of JavaScript fundamentals that are always useful to bear in mind. Code reviews are possibly the single biggest thing you can do to improve the overall quality of your solutions and if you're not actively taking advantage of them, you're possibly missing out on bugs you haven't noticed being found or suggestions for improvements that could make your code better.

##Challenges & Solutions

Code reviews go hand-in-hand with maintaining strong coding standards. That said, standards don't usually prevent logical errors or misunderstandings about the quirks of a programming language. Even the most experienced developers can make these kinds of mistakes and code reviews can greatly assist with catching them.

Often the most challenging part of code reviews is actually finding an experienced developer you trust to complete

Java on Engine Yard's cloud

EXPERIMENTAL AND UNOFFICIAL, don't expect support of any type from Engine Yard on this. This is just a crazy idea that came to my mind a few weeks ago.

Application configuration

  1. Compile the java web application and create an "exploded" war file with any tool you like better, if you use maven you can run "mvn war:exploded".
  2. Create a git repository for your exploded web application and push the compiled code.
  3. Add those files to the root of your repository:
  4. Go to Engine Yard AppCloud's dashboard and press the button "Create New Application", add the git url for your repository, select "Rack" as application type and submit the form.

jQuery Plugin Patterns
/*
A (very) WIP collection of optimized/recommended jQuery plugin patterns
from @addyosmani, @cowboy, @ajpiano and others.
Disclaimer:
-----------------------
Whilst the end-goal of this gist is to provide a list of recommended patterns, this
is still very much a work-in-progress. I am not advocating the use of anything here
until we've had sufficient time to tweak and weed out what the most useful patterns
