LFS Upgraded to 7.2

LFS (Linux From Scratch) project has been updated to 7.2. A lot of changes has been included on this release, which is mentioned on the project guide. Some of the most interesting changes are the new toolchain used to build the system, namely Coreutils 8.19, GCC 4.7.1, GLIBC 2.16, KMod 9, Linux 3.5.2, Udev 188, and Util-Linux 2.21.2.

If you are interested on  this project, get started and hopefully you will understand more about creating your own Linux system from scratch (or from other Linux project)

Pro Git

I have been using GitHub to manage my SlackHacks repository and so far, i don't have problems with it. Probably it was because there's only one person working on this repository.

I set up another repository to work on a project and this is where i learn that GIT is way superior than Subversion for doing branching and merging. Even though it's quite complicated in the beginning, but finally i'm able to learn some basic skills to handle multiple sub work at once.

One of the best resource that i can find to work with GIT is Pro Git which was released by Apress and it can be downloaded for free in form of PDF, Mobi, or ePub format. This book has been translated into several languages as well, including Indonesian.

Web Design Resources

Sometimes people are confused to find good resources which cover all aspects of web design. Well, if you are one of them, have a look on this site. It listed lots of good resources from Specifications related to web, HTML, CSS, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), PHP, Site submission to search engine, MySQL, Perl, Python, ASP, Accessibility, Character Encoding, etc.

I was wondering why on earth Python and Perl are included in web design resources? Yeah, i know that Perl and Python can be used as well to create web pages using CGI, but i don't think many people uses CGI for developing web pages right now. They probably have switched to better technologies, like PHP, ASP.NET, or JSP.
