The White Balance setting you choose will change the colour balance in your pictures, making it warmer or cooler depending on how the sort of light you’re shooting in affects things.

Using Auto White Balance is the simple option, but your camera’s White Balance presets give you more control over colour.

In this tutorial we’ll explain exactly how these work and how to fine-tune your white balance settings to ensure the most accurate colours possible.

Topic of today’s post stays a bit aside from day-to-day coding and development but nonetheless covers a very important subject: our application log files. Our apps do generate enormous amount of logs which if done right are extremely handy for problems troubleshooting.

It’s not a big deal if you have a single application up and running, but nowadays apps, particularity webapps, run on hundreds of servers. With such a scale figuring out where is a problem becomes a challenge. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of a view which aggregates all logs from all our running applications into single dashboard so we could see a whole picture constructed from the pieces? Please welcome: Logstash, the logs aggregation framework.

Although it’s not the only solution available, I found Logstash to be very easy to use and extremely simple to integrate. To start with, we don’t even need to do anything on the application side, Logstash can do all the job for us.

Laravel is a modern and robust PHP framework. There are several tutorials available here on CodeForest, but I still receive plenty of questions on getting started with Laravel, How to use Composer and similar.

Form fields are designed to collect information from visitors of a certain page. But despite the best efforts and explanations, getting the correct information from an average user can be difficult. Impatient or careless visitors may miss important fields, only partially fill one or several fields, or simply press the wrong keys. After filling the form this way they click "Send" button. The server program receives a set of data and if data validation is not implemented on the server side, the server program has no idea what to do with it.

A professional web page requires data validation, i.e. a method for detecting errors in the input data, or even better - a way to avoid mistakes in the first place. Over the years, web developers have been doing this using JavaScript procedures of their own design or through professional JavaScript libraries. To be honest, these approaches gave excellent results.

Database seeding in Laravel 4 can be quite cumbersome for things such as user information. Luckily there are tools that can help us with that!

Recently I have been using http://randomuser.me/ for filling up my database with randomly generated user profiles.

Due to an alarmingly high number of retarded packages I received lately, mostly from the eBay sellers who were born with the funiculus umbilicalis wrapped around their necks I finally decided to whip up a quick tutorial on how to pack records to get them from point A to point B using postal services. The final straw was me getting the TOGETHER 7″ on orange vinyl packed in a soft bubble envelope with zero protection which resulted in the cover (which, as you know, is made of very thin paper) going through the intercontinental transit mayhem and emerging out of it anything BUT victorious. Feel free to forward this tutorial to your seller whenever you win that Straight Ahead or Cro-Mags record.

In this tutorial; we will create a number of database objects, which will later be made available through API endpoints. We’ll then use these, together with AngularJS, to create an online shop. We’ll finish things off with an overview of creating and emailing PDF documents.

Imagine that you have just written a post on your blog, tweeted about it and watched it get retweeted by some popular Twitter users, sending hundreds of people to your blog at once. Your excitement at seeing so many visitors talk about your post turns to dismay as they start to tweet that your website is down — a database connection error is shown.

The Linux find command is a very useful and handy command to search for files from the command line. It can be used to search for files based on various criterias like permissions, user ownership, modification date/time, size etc. In this post we shall learn to use the find command along with various options that it supports.

The examples are broken down into discrete examples making it easy to learn and comprehend. The find command is available on most linux distros by default so you do not have to install any package. This is a command you must master, if you want to get comfortable with your linux system.

So lets begin with the command.

The basic format of the syntax is like this
