Laravel is awesome

Phil Sturgeon is correct, Laravel is awesome. However, the above post is more about community and choosing your tools.

Also, no framework can ever be “dead” until its developers stop working and publishing it. CodeIgniter was at risk of this but then the Reactor Team was created. The Reactor team has been doing a good job keeping it going, albeit slowly

More articles on Laravel are coming as I’ve been enjoying the hell out of it.

Looking forward to those new articles and completely agree with this post.

The lines between design and development get more blurred every day

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:31:06 +0100

At points I have made decisions that directly affect the design of a project. Take the spacing between elements for instance: when developing in a responsive context this becomes a programming problem as well as a design one. It is therefore increasingly likely that it is important to not only understand design but also have the creative capacity to design as a developer.

Words of wisdom from Paul Rand.

You can read a huge range of his quotes in this pdf book here, which is from the site of Steven Heller. Whether you like his work or not, Paul Rand was undoubtedly intelligent and wise. This quote pretty much sums up graphic design, and why it is so difficult.

(p.s does a selected quote every saturday sound like a good idea?)

dropshado.ws: Git submodules

dropshado.ws: Git submodules:

dropshadows:

I think I’m ready to discuss Git submodules. My chronic problem with submodules is that I don’t use them often enough to understand how they work. From what I gather, you can do a lot more than what I’ll cover, but I’m only interested in just placing a repo in a repo.

There are a number of demos that show the performance and features of the library,…

Optimism

Gavin Rothery:

The 60s and 70s were an amazing period for science fiction illustration. You can feel the optimism of the space-race and the excitement and predictability of man in space that sadly hasn’t arrived yet.

These illustrations are by Klaus Bürgle.
