Tip of the day: Regular Expression Generator
I have just came across this very nice service which promises to write Regular Expressions for you.
We all know how painful writing a regular expression can be, and on this website, you can not only have the pattern created for you, but also have it translated into the most common languages on the web.
I’ve tried it myself, and can say it’s pretty darn good, although it’s automatic generator gives you a lot of “functional-crap” sometimes, it’s good for when you’re in a hurry and need to have a pattern up and running, or is not very confident with regexps.

Learning JQuery - Book Review
| _Book reviewer Marcos Placona | Publisher: Packt. Author(s): Jonathan Chaffer and Karl Swedberg_ |
JQuery is one of the coolest JavaScript libraries ever released, and has been growing massively on the Web Development scene since it’s release in early 2006. As a big fan of JavaScript libraries, I decided to write this book review.
“Learning jQuery” is a great complement to jQuery’s official documentation, having a nice and clean structure all the times within the book
The book is divided in ten very illustrative chapters containing code samples, and excellent comments related to what is being presented. It also assumes that you have never had any contact with jQuery, but have some knowledge of JavaScript.
The chapters are:
How I treat the links on my blog with JQuery.

As some of you know, one of my hobbies is electronics with micro controller usage, and I happen to use an electronics forum a lot when I’m losing hair excessively.
