Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Breaking into Web Dev

Breaking into Web Development

I work as an analyst contractor, these days my roles are often a mixture of development and management. I have been asked by a countless number of people what they need to do to get the jobs I’m offered – and it’s simpler than most expect. The market for talented developers in the United Kingdom (and in many talent-lite communities around the world) is such that anyone who merely knows what they are doing has a very good chance of getting a job. Even a job contracting (which ordinarily has senior-level requirements).

To become a web developer with a good salary and employment expectations you need skills. Below I’ll provide a plan to get you towards the top of the largest market: PHP Web Development. Advanced knowledge of everything on this list would immediately make you one of the best, so just strive to have an exposure if not a comprehensive understanding (though the *starred points are essential). To learn these technologies you should use several in combination on on

Here is how to add Medium to the Zurb Foundation 4 CSS framework. This makes the grid change on any html with the medium-$ class. Great for iPad and more custom sizing of website. Make sure you add this after the @import "foundation/components/global", "foundation/components/grid";.
@if $include-html-grid-classes != false {
/* Styles for screens that are atleast 768px and max width 1024px */
@media #{$small} and (max-width: 1024px) {
@for $i from 1 through $total-columns {
.medium#{-$i} { @include grid-column($columns:$i,$collapse:null,$float:false); }
}
@for $i from 0 through $total-columns - 1 {

Remove Open Sans from Wordpress >= 3.8 front-end

The reason you might not be able to remove the Open Sans font that Wordpress >= 3.8 adds to the frontend is that quite a few WP styles and scripts list 'open-sans' as a dependancy when being registered and enqueued. When you remove the 'open-sans' style the other plugins dependant on it will not load. So you just need to deregister WP's open sans style and register your own, with a false value for the src like below.
