Can this designer also write?

At first I was like, then I was like, and now I am like…

I am pretty comfortable with using git for my project repositories, but sometimes I slip up when executing commands. Hey, we all can be lazy at points.

Forms are the bread and butter of a website. From collecting information for accounts or posting comments on your friend’s Facebook profile. Too bad many web developers only worry about the pretty aspect and not the underlying semantics of forms.

I am a structured organization freak. Being a web designer and developer — both full time and freelance, can almost drive me nuts with the multiple email address and calendars that I have to manage. Luckily, Google has helped save my sanity.

When a branch of your code base needs to be shared to other team members, but currently resides only on your local repository, making it remote is a breeze.

Well at least like it has been released. Tagging a released code base is easy as pie and pretty dang helpful when a bug arises.

Working as a team and sharing code can easily bring up conflicts. Luckily there is a cool tool out there that is gaining strength in the developer community to ease this issue.

Sometimes I am plagued by fits of moods that take me to the design world and others to the coding. Just last week, I was hit by the must develop in Ruby bug.
