The best way to add custom web fonts

Using MySQLi and PDO instead of MySQL_*

It is time to deal with mysql_* functions once and for all. These methods are deprecated and slow. The time to upgrade has long passed yet we still see it everywhere. Since I cannot force every author to update their tutorial and blogs, I decided to write a post to hopefully rank better and provide the essential information to help new comers.

Creating a State Stack Engine for your game with JavaScript

I recently got into designing very small games using Javascript. Working with canvas in the browser helped me appreciate how vast and complex games can be. I truly am a beginner at this point but there are few things that helped me get started. Spagetti code can only get you so far, but with a structured StateStack Engine, development is much more fun and easier.

SQL injection and how to protect your website

Experienced developers are expensive. In a world where cutting cost seems like the best option, companies try to maximize their profit by spending less and less on good talent. It is much cheaper to hire someone who just learned php a few weeks ago then a seasoned developer. But it becomes a very bad investment when the newbie introduces insecure code. The problem is, a lot of things learned from those LAMP CRUD application tutorial do not focus much on security. When this code is introduced to a commercial application, the damage can be very expensive. I like how stackoverflow users are fighting very hard to eradicate SQL injection, I am doing my part too but it seems like it is much easier to find insecure code on-line. That said, I will attempt to scare you off your feet so you know better what is the cost of SQL injection.
