QR Codes: like barcodes, just better

Quick Response Code
A Quick Response Code

QR Codes, eða Quick Response Codes, are all the rage nowadays. Þú veist, 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 eins Vefslóðir, 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, og JavaScript: framtíð vefnum

Áður en ég byrja, stutta ferð í gegnum sögu…

Það er 1999. Internet Explorer 5 er heitt efni, er tækni kúla er að vaxa. Og Mariano Rivera er World Series MVP. Og ungur (andköf.)

A vefur verktaki situr í tölvunni hans, drekka kaffi og skrifa nokkur númer. Hann vill að gera vafra sem byggir á leik. Eina leiðin sem hann getur gert er að nota Flash pallur Adobe til að gera gagnvirk bíómynd og embed in það á heimasíðu sinni.

Hann vill að setja vídeó á síðuna hans líka. YouTube hljómar eins og nafn á cheesy neðanjarðarlestinni línu, ekkert meira. Verktaki okkar hefur að gera a Flash bíómynd fyrir það, of.

Gleymdu glampi ökuferð með 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.
