Test Early » Hudson – Tips and Tricks
Hudson is an open source CI server that is by far the easiest one to configure. Second to ease of use is Hudson’s impressive plug-in framework, which makes it easy to add features. For instance, Hudson has a plug-in for tracking FindBugs issues, PMD issues, and CheckStyle issues over time as well as code coverage. It also trends test results from JUnit, as well as build results and corresponding execution times. In spite of all these cool features, we had to find ways to get around some common issues we faced at work using Hudson.

This article describes a few real-life tips and tricks that we have found at work and will assist in configuring Hudson to work most effectively in your environment as well:

1. Changing Hudson home directory
2. OutOfMemoryError
3. Securing Hudson
4. Hudson Views
5. Hudson and Groovy
6. Spaces in directory names
7. Browser to use

Enhance your Blog Design with JQuery

Enhance your Blog Design with JQuery
JQuery

JQuery is a JavaScript library that simplies event handling, animation, Ajax interactions and much more. The WordPress admin uses JQuery to enhance a variety of sections – the show/hide tabs in the Write page, the lightbox for the media uploader. So it’s already built into WordPress, all we need to do is call it from the front end and use it ourselves.

JQuery is stored at /wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js. To use this we need to load it into the header of our page. So we need to add the following line in our header.php theme file, somewhere between the head tags.

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

This will then load the JQuery library whenever someone loads your site. Note, the path will need to reflect your own installation of WordPress on the server. So if you have WordPress installed in the root directory, the above will work, however if you have it in a subdirectory then you’ll need to add this to the start of the source path.
