How of many of you remember Compuserve? What about Prodigy? I'm asking because, back in the good ‘ole days, they were popular services that allowed you to communicate with other people from all over the world. In many cases, they offered complementary services, such as forums or classified services, not to mention a pretty appealing user interface (for the time).
Some of you may be too young to even know about those services, but I'll go out on a limb and assume that everyone's used either AOL Instant Messenger, Skype, or Yahoo! Messenger at some point. The main thing is that they were meant to facilitate communication. In the ever-growing world of remote teams and worldwide collaboration on projects, the ability to get good, immediate feedback is critical to solving problems. Interestingly enough, all of the services that I noted above, while awesome in their own way, have taken a backseat to another medium for developers: IRC.

The career of a web developer is an interesting one with many slopes. Considering a learning curve this steep, you can fully expect to live through periods of frustration, enlightenment, self-righteousness, and every mindset in between. In this article, we’ll have some fun, by reviewing each of these phases through the lens of a meme!
The command line can either be your best friend, or your worst enemy. It simply depends on how you use it, and what you use it for. If you’re one of the many people who cringe at the mere thought of using the command line, then you’ve come to the right place!
When the editor of Nettuts+ requested an article to show Windows developers love by listing popular web development apps, I was all over it. OSX devs get a lot of attention, so it’s good to mix things up a bit.
What I want to do is list the development tools that I frequently use as a web developer on Windows. It may not include your favorite, and if it doesn’t, please let me know within the comments section. I’m always anxious to find new tools to enhance my workflow!

GitHub has become the corner stone for all things open source software. Developers love it, collaborate on it and are constantly building awesome projects through it. Apart from hosting our code, GitHub’s main attraction is using it as a collaborative tool. In this tutorial, let’s explore some of the most useful GitHub features, especially for working in teams, making it all the more efficient, productive and, most importantly, fun!
It’s common for a client to send a request for a file that either does not exist on the server, or exists in a different location. This can occur for a variety of reasons. You might move your files around the server (or to a completely different server), or you may want to present a logical file system structure to connecting clients.
The first PHP 5.5 alpha has been publicly released. After having some time to test and experiment with it, we can now bring you our in-depth overview of what to look forward for!
The history object isn’t new; in fact, you can trace its beginnings to the early browsers from the 1990s. While it has never been based on a public standard, until HTML5 that is, every browser has supported its meager, yet sometimes useful, functionality. Since its inception, the history object has provided a means to work with the history of a particular tab in the browser (or a window before tabbed browsing became the norm). This is sometimes referred to as session history.
Imagine a namespace as a drawer in which you can put all kinds of things: a pencil, a ruler, a piece of paper and so forth. These are your belongings. Directly underneath your drawer is someone else’s, and he puts the same things in it. To avoid using each other’s items, you decide to label the drawers so it’s clear what belongs to whom.
Previously, developers had to use underscores in their classes, functions and constants to separate code bases. That’s equivalent to labeling each others belongings and putting them in one big drawer. Sure, it’s at least some kind of organization, but it’s very inefficient.

One of the easiest ways to improve your application’s performance is by putting a caching solution in front of your database. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use Memcached with Rails, Django, or Drupal.
Memcached is an excellent choice for this problem, given its solid history, simple installation, and active community. It is used by companies big and small, and includes giants, such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. The Memcached site, itself, does a good job of describing Memcached as a “Free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.”

Python is more popular than ever, and is being used everywhere from back-end web servers, to front-end game development, and everything in between. Python is a true general purpose language and is quickly becoming a must-have tool in the arsenal of any self-respecting programmer.
To start using Node.js, you must first understand the differences between Node.js and traditional server-side scripting environments (eg: PHP, Python, Ruby, etc).
Have you ever taken a look at the list of functions available in PHP? I just counted 5025 on the PHP quick reference page. Granted, it depends on what extensions you have enabled, but still: that’s one heap of functions! While I can’t show you every one of them, if you’re new to the language, I’ll introduce you to seven really handy ones in this quick tip!
In this tutorial, our goal is to create an FTP class with PHP that is well written, useful, and expandable.
Git has come a long way since its introduction, and has become significantly easier to work with in a Windows environment. In this tutorial, we are going to get setup with Git on Windows.
We've covered PHP's PDO API a couple of times here on Nettuts+, but, generally, those articles focused more on the theory, and less on the application. This article will fix that!
To put it plainly, if you're still using PHP's old mysql API to connect to your databases, read on!

.htaccess files are used to configure Apache, as well a range of other web servers. Despite the .htaccess file type extension, they are simply text files that can be edited using any text-editor. In this article, we’ll review what they are, and how you can use them in your projects.
