The Little MongoDB Book

Karl Seguin, creator of mongly, has released a free and open MongoDB ebook. The Little MongoDB Book is aimed at those new to MongoDB and covers the MongoDB API for reads, writes and updates as well as tips on getting the best performance and durability out of a MongoDB server. The book can be viewed on github or downloaded as a pdf.

Beginning jQuery With A Solid Foundation

Mike Gleason has written a brilliant article titled Beginning jQuery with a solid foundation. The article starts out what the Document Object Model is and how the HTTP protocol works. It then goes into detail explaining how jQuery itself is structured, and how the seemingly magical $() function is created (and how you can do it yourself in Javascript). If you learned jQuery without learning JavaScript then I recommend you read this.

PHPThumb

PHP Thumb is a light-weight image manipulation library aimed at thumbnail generation. It features the ability to resize by width, height, and percentage, create custom crops, or square crops from the center, and rotate the image. You can also easily add custom functionality to the library through plugins. It also features the ability to perform multiple manipulations per instance (also known as chaining), without the need to save and re-initialize the class with every manipulation.

Unladen Swallow Retrospective

Reid Kleckner (an ex Google Intern) has written an interesting article looking at why development stopped on the Unladen Swallow project. Unladen Swallow was a branch of CPython backed by developers at Google which aimed to implement the LLVM backend for Python in an attempt to speed up the language. In the post Klecker states the difficulty of implementing LLVM on a dynamic language, developers getting pulled to other projects and the rise of the PyPy project as the main reasons development on Unladen Swallow stopped.

Hiding Passwords Using Apache Environment Variables

Brian Hare has written a tutorial showing how to hide passwords and access them with Apache environment variables. Rather than having your passwords and API keys plain text in a PHP configuration file, this technique places them in an location outside of the web root (that you can specify). By using this technique your passwords and API keys will be kept safe, even if your Apache user is compromised.
