So the Fifa World Cup is only 10 days away and I am an avid Football (you call it soccer) fan from Holland. Actually that is probably an understatement, I am a die hard fan.
I am also a respectful fan and have always been intrigued by the National Anthem for each team. When the Dutch national Anthem is played in a stadium of 80,000 people and the whole stadium sings along, it just gives me an adrenaline rush.
I know my own national anthem, but always was intrigued by what the other countries were actually singing, so I decided to contact the guys at Web Design Beach and collaborate on one of my passions, soccer and combine it with their awesome design skills to create a super simple iPhone application for the World Cup.
In 1996, Macromedia launched its famous vector-based animation software, Macromedia Flash – now Adobe Flash with the acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe in 2005. While JavaScript was introduced by Netscape in 1995, it wasn’t until Microsoft incorporated it into the 1997 version of Internet Explorer 4.0 that JavaScript started to get real recognition as a notable programming language for the web. However, JavaScript was incredibly slow back then and browsers simply did not have the processing power to cope with advanced use of the language.
Now, over a decade since its inception, JavaScript has grown by leaps and bounds to become intrinsic to web development. With the advent of AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) techniques and the proliferation of JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, JavaScript is poised to dominate the web development world.
After a great success of our free Twitter backgrounds post, we decided to make a whole website and give you daily updates of beautiful background designs. We’ve started a Twitter backgrounds gallery called Twitterevolutions.
We all use Google on daily basis to search for various things. Their search has one neat feature – auto suggest can be very useful and save you some time and give you additional ideas. But what happens when those suggestions are a bit off? You might have seen at least of some of these “googlelolz” by now but no harm in remind you about funny auto suggests, that it while they remain funny. Some of these are almost scary. Enjoy! 
Perhaps one of the biggest things every developer shares is trying to find ways to speed up their production. Because after all we would much rather be out in the sun at the beach rather than stuck in an office. Below are 10 tips and tricks (in no particular order) I have found to help speed up production, workflow and even working with clients.
1. Find a good medium for support whenever you get stuck. We all have those moments were we can’t figure out a bug or the client has some off the wall request that doesn’t even seem possible. At first I must admit I was very weary of forums or support communities but, it’s grown on me. My favorite is webmasterworld.com they have tremendous support with everything from seo tips, to zen-cart help. Whenever I get really stuck I’ll just submit a question to webmasterworld and within a day or two usually get the answer.
The world of design always keeps me on my toes. It is a constant learning process; one that provides a continuous challenge to stay on top of the latest news and innovations. While most designers agree that learning the newest trends and more efficient processes is necessary, they won’t take the time or effort to explore these opportunities as they are being developed. I recently ran into Stephanie Sullivan, at Adobe Max in L.A. and upon her mentioning that she was heading to Phoenix Design Week, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and learn some of the current happenings in Design.
In addition to design, I have always been interested in what other cities have to offer creatively. Surprisingly enough, not all design methods and trends are the same from one location to another. In order to be more versatile, you have to gain hands on experience in these locations in order to truly understand them. I decided to sign up for Phoenix Design Week to see what the latest developments have made their way to the Desert. Since I had never been to Phoenix, I figured it would be a great way to explore the city, get to know the local design community, and attend a couple of interesting sessions.

Adobe MAX 2009 was held in Los Angeles, California at the infamous Los Angeles Convention center (right next to the staples center were the Lakers play) The event was held from October 4th-7th. Adobe MAX brings everything from entry level designers to the highest level Flex and AIR developers, no matter what your skill level your sure to enjoy the event.
I enjoy learning about any emerging technologies and am always trying to find ways to improve myself not only in the web development world, but the business side as well. I attended Adobe MAX last year (in San Francisco) and was very excited to see all the new things adobe has been working on and really just learning as much as I can. Read the rest of this post »

All of you who like databases, SQL and girls, but when you try to type SQL query you got an error, and when you try to talk to a girl you got slap in the face, read this carefully and enjoy.
If you’re tired of your buddies saying “Go home you’ve never seen a naked woman before” or “When will you lose your virginity already” this post is just right for you.
Tutorial “SQL stands 4 -> Sex Query Language” will help you to regain your confidence and SQL knowledge!
Many of you will say “Who needs girls when I have SQL” and offer strong argumentation like “Has your girl ever helped you join five tables, order them by date, and then insert into another table?” NO! But SQL did!
But then you should ask yourself “Has SQL ever made a breakfast for me and brought it to bed, or when has SQL surprised me, after a hard day, in sexy underwear?”
Don’t be modest, own both a woman and an SQL and have best of both worlds.
My 5 favorite sexy queries:
