Taking a Print Screen of web page…. is never been so easier..

This blog is again on firefox and this time I am taking you through my complete favourite list.

ScreenGrab
This addon is used to take print screen of web page along its entire length/viewable screen. Basically, it creates a image(png) file that has a impression of the web page. Its simply fast and quick enough. The page was easily readable with the print screen. Flash(swf) file would not appear in the image (I dont know why).

This provides fast way of sharing the web image in web development. I have attached the print screen of my blog here taken through ScreenGrab..
My Blog Print Screen(286kb)

Open With IE Tab!
This addon opens internet explorer with in firefox tabs.. This is going to be definitely useful for people to migrate to firefox .. and also.. for developers .. who can check their page compatibility with ie and firefox with in firefox itself..

What is a Cheat Sheet?
A cheat sheet is a single sheet of reference that gives details in very high level. It is often used as a programmer’s quick reference of functions.
Creating the cheat sheet is the best way of learning and it would be very helpful for preparing exams as well. For sample reference of Cheat Sheets..

• Javascript
• CSS

Where can i get cheat sheet in Net?
There were around thousands of cheatsheets available in Internet in Techcheatsheets (TCS) and it was a really good compilation.
In Vertrigo website, one can find cheat sheets for PHP, MySQL, Html Entities, apache mod_rewrite, RGB Hex and VBScript (asp) developed by Jack Daniels.

What is the advantage of using a cheat Sheet?
Time is saved. As a human, we ought to forget the some syntax of function (sometimes spelling). Now, I can realize.. how much amount of time would be saved if I have this cheat sheet in my hand (the wasted time includes googling). neway, Lets keep moving forward.. Imitating and Improving, is the one of the right way for future..

Can I get the links of the website?
Jack Daniels, A web developer.. who has done awesome work in web stuff. http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/
Links to Cheat sheets were found at the bottom of vertrigo website, http://vertrigo.sourceforge.net/

Last couple of years, Microsoft was kicked back in web arena by Google and Firefox. Anyway this blog is not about firefox vs ie cold war and its all about sharing what i have seen in web today.

The First one is the following Cover picture of the book (See Right), where Firefox was eating the blue e!. Its an intuitive thinking with the double meaning.

ie = e! and the word Blue E matching ie icon..

When I see this cover, the thing that immediately pops in my mind is that. Mr. Project, a perfect opensource competitor of Ms Project.
Microsoft Project or Miss Project. I have seen many instances where Microsoft Often refferred as Miss (Ms). I think she is planning to marry Yahoo to stand against mighty Google.. Lets wait and see..

The next one, is about Firefox 3 which is available in alpha 4. Firefox 3 has heightened my expectation because of its new functionality called FUEL ( Firefox User Extension Language) which seems to reduce the amount of time in developing addon. Already, there were thousands of addons, available for Firefox and are simply rocking. It think it would replace the functions of Grease Monkey. For more updates about Mozilla, just tune into http://mozillalinks.org.

I was ready to add FUEL to FireFox 3, How about you?

Two months before, I was not aware of Wordpress. Now, I can find lots of website using wordpress for blogging and I was happy to see Mozilla links is using wordpress for blogging..

Though there is always an expectation on newer version because of new features and functionalities,still there were lots of people living in older version. I dont understand why they were standing there. One can find statistics of those users in Mozilla Links..
