I've just got this idea that there is a need for a forked version of Firefox that would provide right out of the box tools for web development. Like FireBug, YSlow, FireCookie, LiveHTTPHeaders, etc. Maybe the fork should only include those extensions or take a further step and implement them in existing chrome. The reason I'm thinking ...

Considering that meebo is an online chat client, how do they work with C? How can they use C for the backend? How does it interact with the frontend? For example, let's say a user creates a new account, and...
We currently use ActiveReports (by Data Dynamics, now Grape City) for canned reports, but are considering moving up to their Reports package. If you've used it, I'd love to hear your take on: Performance - do you feel it will scale well for a web based app (particularly compared with ActiveReports) Export to Excel - it appears to prov...
As we did this in the past, i'd like to gather useful information for everyone moving to loadbalancing, as there are issues which your code must be aware of. We moved from one apache server to squid as reverse proxy/loadbalancer with three apache servers behind. We are using PHP/MySQL, so issues may differ. Things we had to solve: Se...
Or plain old C. I have a sneaking suspicion that it may be more efficient in terms of resources. I know nothing of C or C#, this may be a completely stupid question but I've always wanted to get into programming proper. Does anyone here code websites in C?

I'm building a website which allows users to create accounts and access the site's content. I don't want users to log in each time they visit the site, so I'm planning on storing the username and password in a cookie -- however, I've heard this is bad practice, even if the password is hashed in the cookie. What "best practices" should I...

A simple example of what I'm trying to do is: def data_out output = "foo foo foo...
