In programming, regular expressions are a very useful tool designed to validate, search, and match text patterns. In this article, I have compiled more than 10 incredibly useful regular expressions, for any language, that will probably be very beneficial to you.

(“regex’s” for short) are sets of symbols and syntactic elements used to match patterns of text and they are pretty powerful. Regular expressions have been around for a very long time (in computer industry scale) and was first introduced as part of the powerful UNIX search tool grep.

Good software enables us to take a lot of niceties for granted. Intelligent interfaces handle all the simple tasks so that we don’t need to worry about them. For example, when I type “www.desktopped.com” into an email or an instant message, I expect that it will be clickable on the other end without having to manually add in HTML tags.

CSS allow you to do lots of things, but some features are missing to developers. What about variable, constants, and general faster syntax? As normal CSS can't do that, people created preprocessors to allow the use of variables on CSS files and then parse it to regular stylesheets.

Programmers all have their pet peeves. Whether it’s scope creep, Hungarian notation, or smelly coworkers, we’ve come to accept that there are certain nuisances that come with our line of work. The following is a list of the top 10 things that annoy programmers, compiled from the results of my recent question on StackOverflow along with some of my own experiences:

When working with an Ajax-enhanced website, it's generally a good idea to provide a regular request fallback for any core functionality of the site. When you work to ensure that a fallback is in place, you will be faced with determining when a particular request is an Ajax request or just a normal page request.
