Con la coordinación de un tipo super macanudo, una mezcla de Caniggia y Dolina, Claudio Albornoz se llevó a cabo el primer evento del “Social Media Week Buenos Aires” en la Universidad de Palermo, con la participacion de los siguientes expertos en el tema:

This one works on Dreamweaver, which has a few limitations (anchors in this case). It should work on regular PHP replacing functions. You can use it on your local copy, or just run it in some remote terminal command right on the server. (more…)

Many of you who use Photoshop may know more or less how JPG works, and some of you might have a deep knowledge about the algorithm that makes our photos look bad or allows them to be quickly loaded in browsers.
