30 Useful Responsive Web Design Tutorials So we’ve reached the end of our “Responsive Web Design week”, tonight’s post will be the last of the series. We are going all out to help you hone your skills in manipulating those codes to respond at will when displayed on different devices. And to do this, we are featuring 30 Responsive Web Design Tutorials found online. We’ll start off with introductory tutorials in ‘Breaking the Ice’, something like an RWD: 101 class you should attend to get the hang of the concept before we move on to ‘Start Building’ exercises. Lastly we’ll end with a ‘Do More’ section in which we’ll feature tutorials that play with horizontal layouts, ‘elastic’ videos, drop-down menus and slide-to-top accordion navigations, thumbnails and the sticky issue with tables.

Welcome — CakePHP Cookbook v2.x documentation Apache HTTP Server Project How a Simple Layout Can Be Mixed ‘n’ Matched with Patterns, Photos and Backgrounds It's pretty amazing how much colour and background can change the look and feel of a website. In this tutorial we're going to put together a quick, simple but effective layout and then create variations using backgrounds, photos and patterns. We'll also look at how to make seamless tiled backgrounds out of a photo, methods for ending a single photo and simple ways to create pixel patterns. Step 1 - Creating the Basic Layout So our first task is to design a layout for our page. Now I should point out in reality I didn't actually draw out this set of boxes quite like this. Step 2 - Fleshing it out So that layout is our bones, now we need to flesh it out with some dummy content and a colour scheme. As you can see I haven't done anything really amazing here, just placed the elements on the page fairly neatly and evenly. Note that these are just rough guides and I actually just work by eye until things look right. Finally I've used a warm, earthy tones colour palette. View Before and After

Apache Virtual Host documentation - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4 The term Virtual Host refers to the practice of running more than one web site (such as company1.example.com and company2.example.com) on a single machine. Virtual hosts can be "IP-based", meaning that you have a different IP address for every web site, or "name-based", meaning that you have multiple names running on each IP address. The fact that they are running on the same physical server is not apparent to the end user. Apache was one of the first servers to support IP-based virtual hosts right out of the box. Versions 1.1 and later of Apache support both IP-based and name-based virtual hosts (vhosts). The latter variant of virtual hosts is sometimes also called host-based or non-IP virtual hosts. Below is a list of documentation pages which explain all details of virtual host support in Apache HTTP Server: Configuration directives If you are trying to debug your virtual host configuration, you may find the Apache -S command line switch useful. /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -S

What they are/How to use them .htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. Note: If you want to call your .htaccess file something else, you can change the name of the file using the AccessFileName directive. AccessFileName ".config" In general, .htaccess files use the same syntax as the main configuration files. For example, if you look at the documentation for the AddDefaultCharset directive, you will find that it is permitted in .htaccess files. If you are unsure whether a particular directive is permitted in a .htaccess file, look at the documentation for that directive, and check the Context line for ".htaccess". When (not) to use .htaccess files The first of these is performance. AddType text/example ".exm"

Some of the suggestions will be general, others specific to Apache. Keep up to Date The Apache HTTP Server has a good record for security and a developer community highly concerned about security issues. But it is inevitable that some problems -- small or large -- will be discovered in software after it is released. Of course, most times that a web server is compromised, it is not because of problems in the HTTP Server code. Denial of Service (DoS) attacks All network servers can be subject to denial of service attacks that attempt to prevent responses to clients by tying up the resources of the server. Often the most effective anti-DoS tool will be a firewall or other operating-system configurations. There are also certain Apache HTTP Server configuration settings that can help mitigate problems: The RequestReadTimeout directive allows to limit the time a client may take to send the request.

Responsive Measure: A jQuery plugin for responsive typography Responsive Measure is a simple script that allows you to pass in a selector (ideally the container where your primary content will go) which generates the ideal font size needed to produce the ideal measure for your text. It also has the ability to generate a resolution independent font-scale based on the ideal font-size. $(document).on('responsiveMeasureUpdated', function(e, data) { $('.giga').css('fontSize', data.fontRatios[9] + 'px'); $('h1').css('fontSize', data.fontRatios[8] + 'px'); $('h2').css('fontSize', data.fontRatios[7] + 'px'); $('h3').css('fontSize', data.fontRatios[6] + 'px'); $('p').css('fontSize', data.fontRatios[5] + 'px'); $('.sm').css('fontSize', data.fontRatios[4] + 'px'); }); Check out the examples to see the plugin in action.
