Category: Technology

I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.

Migrating Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.2 to 3.0

For those of us who are starting to look into Twitter Bootstrap 3.0  for new projects and possible migration of old projects from Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.2 to 3.0, I found a couple of good resources.   Firstly, this very brief StackOverflow discussion on what has changed between the versions.  And secondly, this really nice migration guide.

If only there was an automation tool that works for me… A few were mentioned in this StackOverflow discussion, but none did anything sensible on my projects.  I guess I’ll have to roll out my own, or use some manual labour in combination with powerful search-and-replace tools.

PHP Fine Diff – PHP library to diff strings

PHP Fine Diff – PHP library to diff strings.  I’ve tried a few different implementations and all of them either required an external diff program couldn’t render HTML, or failed to due to enormous resource usage.  PHP Fine Diff does all I need and does it fast.   It’s also rediculously easy to use:

$fineDiff = new FineDiff($strOrig, $strNew);
$htmlDiff = $findDiff->renderDiffToHTML();

Found via this StackOverflow discussion.
