QR Codes: like barcodes, just better

Quick Response Code
A Quick Response Code

QR Codes, або Quick Response Codes, are all the rage nowadays. Вы ведаеце,, those black-and-white barcode-looking thingies that show up on magazines, posters, and even some t-shirts.

A QR Code is actually fairly similar to a barcode: it’s an image that encodes data падобна URL-адрасоў, phone numbers, words, and more. You can even take a picture and sort of turn it into a QR code (the picture is uploaded to the internet and the QR code encodes the URL of the picture.) Sure you lose some aesthetic value, but hey.

HTML5, CSS3, і JavaScript: будучыню ў Інтэрнэце

Перш чым пачаць, кароткае падарожжа па гісторыі…

Гэта 1999. Інтэрнэт Эксплорэрам 5 гэта гарачая штучка, Тэхналогія бурбалка расце. І Марыяна Рывэра з'яўляецца World Series MVP. І маладыя (задыхацца.)

Вэб-распрацоўшчык сядзіць за сваім кампутарам, піць каву і пісаць код. Ён хоча зрабіць браузерного гульню. Толькі так ён можа зрабіць гэта з'яўляецца выкарыстанне Adobe Flash Platform, каб зрабіць інтэрактыўны фільм і ўстаўляць, што ў сваім вэб-сайце.

Ён хоча, каб размясціць відэа на сваім сайце таксама. YouTube sounds like the name of a cheesy subway line, nothing more. Our developer has to make a Flash movie for that, занадта.

Forget flash drives with Dropbox

I’m sure this happens to a lot of people: you have an important file on your flash drive and you need to hand it in, print it out, or take it somewhere else. Only problem? You lose your flash drive. It’s happened to me far too many times.

So that’s why I decided to eschew flash drives and emailing stuff to myself and use the power of the internet.

I found Dropbox, which lets me access my files from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. I don’t even need a flash drive any more; I can just store everything I need on my Dropbox account.
