Awesome stuff you can get for free!

Amazing materials you can get for free! Check out this repository of free programming books.

Swiss developer Victor Felder has taken a list created with the help of the community of web design and development forum Stack Overflow, updated the content with new and corrected links and shared it over on GitHub. The list is indexed in several  ways, covers over 80 programming languages and it has over 500 books.

For example, I found 14 book recommendations to improve my programming skills. Thank you, Victor!

Just Do Something!

Sometimes, you don't reach your goals no matter how hard you try, but having goals, whether big or small, is important. It gives you a sense of meaning and purpose, points you in the direction you want to go and gets you interested.

You don’t need to do everything right now. But you can do something.

Why didn't I know this before?! MySQL & PHP

Hm, I just realized that MySQL’s REPLACE() is PHP’s STR_REPLACE(). It is more quicker than doing same job in php. Why didn't I know this before?!

The PHP function that I used was str_replace(). If you aren't familiar with the function, here's what it does:

$string = '28/10/2013';

$result = str_replace('_', '-', $string);  //becomes 28-10-2013

In MySQL, this is:

UPDATE `table_name` SET `data` = REPLACE( data, '/', '-' )

Using MySQL's function allows me to fix the problem once and it is faster for a big database.

Again, Why didn't I know this before?!
