While reading over the comments about HoverBox on Sonspring I figured I would have a go fulfilling some of the responses. Make sure you have read that tutorial first and understand what's going on there. One response was what[...]
When you make a photo gallery, the hardest thing to do is usually figure out how you are going to feed the images to the client without having to hard code them. I got the bright idea that I should[...]

Revisited, sounds like a Matrix movie or something. Well Rogie of komodomedia.com has done it again. He has revamped his original star rating system to maintain star state, meaning the graphical representation of the rating will be shown to[...]

Hey folks, introducing - slim - a place where simplicity is key. I like simple (or as simple as possible) explanations for complex solutions. I am graphic/web designer of 8+ years and through a need to keep up with my developer counterparts and my own thirst for knowledge have picked up php, a back end/server side programming language.
Doing research for various ways of scripting something always led me to code that as a beginner found somewhat daunting. Always the info was presented in a way that seemed overly complex or I just plain didn't get it. So what I have done to look out for the 'little guy' so to speak is come up with tutorials on some pretty involved topics as simply as possible.
I encourage all to get involved in this process and if you see something in the tut's that could be done better or more efficiently - but still with the spirit of simplicity in mind - by all means let me know. What will happen then is I will review the example you submit and if it appears that the value out weights any added complexity I will update the tutorial.
A purple badge 
will show up next to the title on the home page indicating how many times an update has been made to the original tutorial. In most cases you will be able to re-download the file or files associated with that tutorial. That will not invalidate the code you may already have, just that if you want, you can replace what you have and it will work the same if not better.
