Hi, I was wondering if people have any recommendation or share their experiences with websites that either provide free or commercial website templates? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, this magazine has bitten the dust but they were gracious enough to have their entire back catalogue available for download. https://secure2.linuxjournal.com/pdf/dljdownload.php

For those who find the Finder app quite limiting, I highly recommend this program. And it's free now to boot! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/forklift-file-manager-and-ftp-sftp-webdav-amazon-s3-client/id412448059?mt=12

http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/ A good selection of Python, Design Patterns and Java books peppered with some interesting titles like 2016 European SW Dev Salary Survey and 2016 SW Dev Salary Survey

Redgate is giving out non commercial licenses for its MySQL Compare and MySQL Data Compare tool. I've used their SQL Server Compare tools and the ToolBelt extensively many years ago, and it saved my back side time and time again. I only happen to come across it because I was looking out for a MySQL Compare tool to work out the difference between my Test & Live Servers. The unfortunate caveat is that it only runs on Windows ...... perhaps it will still be of use to someone. I will try running it on Parallels and see if it can access a MySQL Instance running on the OS X Parent .... http://www.red-gate.com/products/mysql/mysql-comparison-bundle/

I came across this section again recently and thought I would share. It's geared a little more towards Microsoft stuff but there will be something for everyone here. Enjoy https://www.syncfusion.com/resources/techportal/ebooks

Hi, I posted a link to Free Books earlier and it dawned on me belatedly I should post this too. Basically I was looking for some free components to use with ASP.NET MVC and came across Syncfusion's Community License program. I've used Syncfusion's suite of components many moons ago when I was working in Finance, and whilst all these component suites do have a bit of a learning curve they do provide a lot of components and robust functionality out of the box that you can leverage. It's unheard of that a well established company like this would provide a free, community license when they could easily charge 1500-2000USD for a license but I'm guessing they must be losing market share to their competitors like Infragistics, DevExpress, Telerik etc and this is a bid to claw some back. Again, a lot of the things lean towards Microsoft .NET technologies but there's certain things that might be of interest like the Javascript controls for Web/Mobile as well as some Excel/Word/PDF/Powerpoint libraries and Data Science library. And calling a .NET/C# method in a DLL/Class from php is possible using this https://github.com/david-garcia-garcia/netphp instead of http://php.net/manual/en/class.dotnet.php which only allows .NET 3.5 or below. Enjoy!

Based on my Previous thread: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/7194-templatelist-inside-module-configuration/ here is an automatic child creater if you need on creation of a parent element a bunch of Child Elements. what also works: multiple diffrent childs on same parent caution: sadly what also works: first entry: parent_id = 47 child_id = 13 child_name = something child_numbers = 1 second entry: parent_id = 13 child_id = 47 ... ... this should afaik (not tested) kill your System by having a infinite Loop. because (first entry creates a child which call second entry which would then call first entry and so on). <?php /** * Created by PhpStorm. * User: Kielbasa * Date: 04.08.14 * Time: 10:09 */ class CustomChildCreater extends Process { public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => 'CustomChildCreater', 'version' => 100, 'summary' => 'Child creator for Pages with Specific Parent', 'href' => '', 'singular' => true, 'autoload' => true, ); } public function ___execute() { $this->setFuel('processHeadline', 'Child Creater'); $table = $this->modules->get("MarkupAdminDataTable"); $table->setEncodeEntities(false); $table->headerRow(array('Edit','Parent Template', 'Child Template','Name of new Childs (childname+{n})', '{n} - Childs', 'Delete')); $result = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM {$this->className} ORDER BY parent_template"); while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { // output in table rows with edit link and delete checkbox? $table->row(array( 'edit' => 'edit/?id='.$row['id'], $this->templates->get($row['parent_template'])->name , $this->templates->get($row['child_template'])->name, $row['child_name'], $row['child_numbers'], "<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='$row[id]' />" )); } $button = $this->modules->get("InputfieldButton"); $button->type = 'submit'; $button->id = 'submit_delete'; $button->value = 'Remove selected sources'; $table->action(array('Add source' => 'add/')); // Is there clean way to add button to right side? return "<form action='./delete/' method='post'>" .$table->render() . $button->render() .
