Learning Java? Great, this book will help you.
I uploaded this Java Programming PDF to share with IT Elective 1 (Object Oriented Programming with Java) classmates.
I searched for it in Google, and I’m lucky to find this free e-book of Head First Java – Second Edition. I can’t remember where I got it from though. It’s been days (EDIT: no, it’s been months now! or maybe years), and I got a poor memory. lol.
And by the way, I used A-PDF Split to split the e-book into separate chapters of the PDF for our convenience. The file I downloaded is only one PDF file which had 690 pages. It lags in slow computers. It’s also better off being separated by chapters for ease of reading, right? So, there. 
I hope the Java PDF download links on this blog entry (Head First Java – Download) help you guys, and if you do find them helpful, please LIKE my website on Facebook, the Like button is right below on the FB box, thank you!

For our school work, Microsoft Office is very much used. Students exchange MS Office files with one another for homework and projects. Based on my observation, each time a file in MS Office 2007 format (.docx, .pptx, or .xlsx) is sent to a student who uses MS Office 2003, that receiving student complains, and either makes the sender save it as a 2003 file and resend it, or sulk face in one corner of the room for not knowing how to open the 2007 file.
Let’s make a list here of few ways to open .docx, .pptx, and .xlsx files in a computer without Microsoft Office 2007.

I’m posting this because I thought that it might help some people who want to structurize their website in a way that they can easily edit pages which contain contents and pages which contain the code of the layout, as we separate layout code from contents in dynamic inclusion.
This is for PHP beginners, but I assume that you have basic knowledge about PHP variables and form submission methods if you would read this tutorial.

I used to use the WordPress plugin Counterize II to keep track of my blog’s statistics, but then I felt that I had to switch into something else. I looked for another feature-rich stats plugin but one that is faster and that will take up less database space. After trying different plugins, I chose to stick with CyStats.
The only thing I needed but didn’t get (right away) from CyStats is the code to insert into my themes in order to call functions to return values like the total number of hits, total number of comments, total number of posts, and such. Maybe there’s a web page lying around in the Internet and I simply did not search thoroughly that I wasn’t able to find it. And since I didn’t find it, I’m making my own list of template tags (template functions) here, hoping that it would help other users.
By the way, I got all these from the template-functions.php which is inside the /includes folder of the plugin. I’m putting a list here just to make our task easier.
