Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

Java vs. PHP

As is pretty obvious by my blog, GitHub repos and my job I'm a PHP developer. I'm also pretty adept with JavaScript and SQL. Lately I've been getting back into Java development a little more seriously. This gist is a series of short articles about some of the differences I've noticed between PHP and Java.

To be specific my Java development recently has been web development using Google App Engine. I am intending to create a RESTful API utilizing the language.

The differences discussed are not intended to be an indictment against either language. Some things about PHP I really like, some things about PHP I really dislike. The same goes for Java. Some things PHP is really good for and other things Java is really good for. This is not meant to be a religious war between languages.

I realize that in a way this is comparing apples and oranges. PHP is a dynamic, interpreted (althought yes it is still compiled) scripting language while Jav

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.
