One of the things I love about Go is its powerful collection of standard libraries, one of those is
the image library. I’ll show you how you can have a fun exercise or a weekend project in Go,
that’ll convert an image to grayscale (or kinda black and white). This tutorial will help
you learn standard image library or if you’re new to Go it’ll teach you some basic concepts of Go.
You have a “nice little” Laravel app. You return views from your controllers, you redirect with a flash message when you’re done with something or when something goes wrong.
But sometimes you need to send Ajax requests to the server. And this time those views and redirects don’t make sense. You need JSON response. You create two different methods in your controller, one returns JSON and one returns View, because you also want the page to be loaded from server when user(or search engines) hit the url directly. And now things start to get messy.
Imagine a man named Bob who has a fatal disease and he has a very low chance of living more than a year. Expensive and regular treatment may save him.
Bob needed a new laptop so that he can earn some money from home, he bought one with $400 which comes with 1 year warranty. The sales girl asked him if he needs additional protection plan for $100 which will give him 3 more years of warranty? Bob thought that’s a great deal, it will make his laptop secure for 3 more years and he won’t have to worry about it anymore, but then he thought, even his life is not guaranteed for one year, why would he care about 4 years? It is much better for him to spend $100 on his treatment, it’s the priority now. Bob did not buy the additional protection plan. Smart decision, right?

I have seen lots of really good developers looking for work and they don’t find good work for months or years. On the other hand I’ve seen some really good companies looking for developers and they don’t find good developer for months or years. What’s the problem? After looking at the situation of some of the developers and companies I have tried to find out the reason behind it. Let me share my thoughts with you.
I work remotely for Vegan Cuts, which is based in Canada and I work from Bangladesh. As the team is distributed, Vegan Cuts arranges meetings every year in different countries. This time I was invited to visit New York :).
It was a long journey for me, Sylhet > Dhaka > Istanbul > New York City, 20+ hours just in flight. I took 1.5 day break in Istanbul and explored the city, amazing, I must say.
If you’re not one of the few, you surely get scared once you see one of these:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Not found’ in /home/usman/www/test.php on line 27
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘UnexpectedValueException’ in /home/usman/www/test.php on line 27
When you see Red or Orange screen with Exception you fear like you’ve committed a sin and just go back to code to repent. Congrats, you’re the majority.
What if I told you that Exceptions are no sin, rather blessings of object oriented programming?
What if I told you that an Exception doesn’t just mean that your code is wrong?

Pixie supports MySQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL and it takes care of query sanitization, table prefixing and many other things with a unified API. At least PHP 5.3 is required.
