Working with WordPress at any development level requires that you get your hands a bit dirty; PHP-dirty that is. And if you’re serious about developing apps on top of WordPress then you’ll need tools and packages to get your work done – which may include refactoring apps that help you move faster through tons of code. This automatic refactor for PHP generates diffs that describe the refactoring steps – this, naturally, prevents simple mistakes during refactorings and automates it. Simple concept but the combination of libraries that they’ve included may make it worth a few moments of your time to review: […]
BuddyPress 1.7, Achievement 3.2 Released!
1.7 is now out and it’s called “Totonno” and apparently it’s the best version ever.

One of the most common things that happens when I go publicly speak about entrepreneurship or startups is I get a lot of 1-on-1 feedback from people who “have a great idea” but who don’t have the necessary skills to pull it off. A question that I generally ask them in the front-end of this dialogue […]
A Personal Take on Responsive Design
Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately you’ve heard of responsive design, it’s the new ‘thing’ amongst web design. But in case you are unaware of what it is I’ll give you a brief explanation: Responsive design is a technique used to scale websites to pre-determined layouts based upon the device used to view the site. So if you look at a responsive website from a laptop and then from a smartphone you’ll notice that they layout changes to accommodate the difference in screen size. Makes sense right? It’s annoying to have to zoom in and out of non-responsive […]
