At one time I really wanted to take the LPI certification but I feel my experience speaks for itself. However I do want to cover the material and refresh myself on some of the stuff that I don't use on a regular basis. I bolded the commands I use the least and reworded the description a little more to my liking. Most of the information is just examples I found and stuff I think would be covered. Commands declare - Use the declare command to set variable and functions attributes.quota - displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.date  - display or set the time.rpm- package manager. (I prefer debian)xvidtune - tweaks the screen resolution.nl - prints line numbers before each line in a file.od  -dumps files in octal format.su - option m is pretty useful, do not reset environment variables.mkfs - “used to build a Linux file system on a device, usually a hard disk partition.”XF86Config-the section concerned with fonts: The Files sectionsXF…

Sometime back I really needed this code however it came a little too late and unfortunately didn't make it into the final product. However I have since then built a complete explain showing how to hand facets with little javascript code and with a whole lot of functionality!

Requirements
Load appropriate facets, make a search. Update the UI, reload page if necessary but scale up for a single page application. Make things bookmarkable but don't lose that awesomeness from SPA's.

Example
http://jsfiddle.net/t7kr8/211/ - I forget where I found this but its probably buried somewhere in my resources.

My Example

Javascript code
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []); myApp.controller('mainController', function($scope) { $scope.items = [{ item:"apples", flag: true }, { item:"oranges", flag: true }, { item:"pears&quo…

The devtools console is probably one of my best friend when it comes to web development and it just so happen that one day when I was randomly looking at the console while visiting facebook. What I found was some styles being applied to a console.log command. After looking a little into this cool new concept I found what many would find after doing a quick search.

Example
console.log('%cHello World!', 'color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 70px;');


     I really like the image example I found (in the resources), this just leaves me wondering what can't you do in the devtools console. I know awhile back I even saw that you can use "require" to install modules into chrome.

Side Note
    I learned there are two short-cuts to pull up the devtools console. There's Control-Shift J which I use and Control-Shift I. Probably will just stick with J though. Also this I already knew but just wanted to share because I think it's very important …

A lot of this article not going to make sense to people because it relates to my thoughts as I wrote them down and what I researched or tried to understand. Some of it is wrong, and looking back probably could have approached somethings better but that's just a natural way of learning. Also a lot of my notes are going to appear as if I'm going in circles (or that's just how I see it). Previous articles can be found here.

Day 1- 10/2/14
    I started looking at thechrome.devtools.panels.openResource, by resources I think the docs means a web page's resources not the devtool's resources (something that work-spaces might have access to). The next part, "Requests DevTools to open a URL in a Developer Tools panel." 
"The real power of Work-spaces lies in being able to map a local file to a URL (or “Network Resource”). Whenever Chrome loads the mapped URL, it displays the work-space folder contents in place of the network folder contents. It’s as if it’s…

If I had to go back in time and explain to myself web development (primary what most call front-end) in a nutshell this is how I would organize it. I would purposely leave out explaining to myself any middle tier or backend frameworks as I would place those types of technologies in another category. Which may or may not be how others organize it but I'm open to suggestion.
Structures ( HTML)Not to be confused with styles, controls the structure/flow and order of things.Ignore tags like bold or italic because they kinda break this idea. The same could  kinda be said about a break tag.Styles (CSS) - looks, not functionality but the two do work together a lot!Mobile first baby!Content (Other) - separate from all the rest but drives the app is in Forget for a moment everything you know about databases, middle-tier, back-end or whatever there is that draws your users to a website. Focus on just the meaning around the fact that all information is content and can be located elsewhere.…
