Setting MySQL to Use UTF-8 on MAMP (MySQL 5.5.9, or 5+)

I wanted to setup MySQL to use utf-8 on the MAMP installation on my Mac. I tried the instructions from this article: http://cameronyule.com/2008/07/configuring-mysql-to-use-utf-8/ However, I kept getting error messages that are similar to this one [ERROR] /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-collation=utf8_general_ci' I did some search and realized that several variables are deprecated. Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-options.html Therefore, I added the following lines into /Applications/MAMP/conf/my.cnf [mysql] character-set-server=utf8 [client] character-set-server=utf8 [mysqld] character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_general_ci init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' I restarted the server and mysql run successfully with relevant variables being set correctly. In the "Variables" tab under phpMyAdmin interface (ex. http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English) character set c...

Brackets: a free editor/environment for web development

 There are a lot of options, and VS Code is one of the top contenders. I am a VS Code fan, but if you are looking for an alternative, Brackets is another option that I find appealing. It was built for web development, using HTML/CSS/Javascript. I think it is especially helpful for people who just start learning HTML/CSS (and maybe Javascript). http://brackets.io/ Brackets has some built-in features that are pretty convenient. 1. auto-complete for CSS property and value. 2.

Code to browser mapping: you can select/edit an element in HTML or a rule in CSS, and the corresponding user interface elements or those that will be affected by the CSS rule will be highlighted in the browser. See this video for an overview. Th...
