Introduction

I really enjoyed reading The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas, and some of the tips that were scattered throughout the book were things that I really wanted to remember.

So rather than try and commit 70 pragmatic tips to memory, I thought I would make a simple page that would show a random tip when loaded. Using the Chrome extension New Tab Redirect, I can see a random Pragmatic tip every time I open a new tab

Roadmap

I'm open to feature requests and suggestions. These are the next few things that I'm considering moving forward:

• Keyboard navigation through tips (Previous/Next functionality)
• Possible inclusion of other sources (?)
  • Zen programming
  • Overviews of design patterns
  • Coding horror snippets

Features that have been suggested and implemented are:

• Themes
• Auto-reload

Creating Themes

Themes for PragProgTips are very simple. You need to do the following in order to get your own theme:

1. Create a new stylesheet with your theme name as its filename (e.g. 'Light.css').
2. Implement your theme by setting values for the following rule sets:

html {
    color: rgba(0,0,0,0.8); 
    background:#E6E9ED,;
}

.card {
   background:#FFFFFF;
}

#title {
    border-bottom:4px solid #37BC9B; 
}

#desc {
    color:#434A54;
}

a {
    color:#DA4453; 
}

a:hover {
    color:#ED5565;
}
