###Jeffrey Way (1) - Bootcamp

Jeffrey went through about 12 subjects one right after the other and gave tips along the way.

1. Mail Drivers for mail notifications.

1. With Laravel 4.2 it’s easier to use APIs like Mailgun and Mandrill for e-mail notifications. This avoids using SMTP which is really cool.

2. File Generators for generating schema migrations.

How to make faster scroll effects?

• Avoid too many reflows (the browser to recalculate everything)
• Use advanced CSS3 for graphic card rendering
• Precalculate sizes and positions

Beware of reflows

The reflow appens as many times as there are frames per seconds. It recalculate all positions that change in order to diplay them. Basically, when you scroll you execute a function where you move things between two reflows. But there are functions that triggers reflows such as jQuery offset, scroll... So there are two things to take care about when you dynamically change objects in javascript to avoid too many reflows:

<?php

class BaseModel extends Eloquent {


    public function columns(){
      $table = $this->getTable();
      return DB::select(" SHOW COLUMNS FROM ".$table);
    }

<?php

// BELIEVE THIS ONLY WORKS WHEN USING MYSQL

// DROP THIS INTO GLOBAL.PHP

Validator::extend('columnexists', function($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{

	$query = DB::select("SHOW COLUMNS FROM " . $parameters[0]);

If you only want to update one Application icon, ie, in App.app/Contents/Resources/App.icns just touch the App.app folder. (I've read you need to do the Info.plist as well sometimes, although I've never needed to.)

Close the finder windows and:

touch /Applications/App.app
touch /Applications/App.app/Contents/Info.plist
You can refresh the dock icon cache using the commands above, also do a killall Dock to restart it. Personally I would just drag the application in question, off the dock and re-start / keep in dock, because this is generally a one off thing. As always, script it if possible / and you're doing it a lot.

<?php

// After injecting the class into your controller, you would call it on a method like so

// store here is the context
// this will validate it against that set of rules

$this->validator->validate(Input::all(), 'store');
