Techno

• Nice short series of Git. Looking at branch differently now. Before, it’s like a “channel”. Now, understand it as also a “pointer” like tag. Still, not really dare to follow this git-flow, that is using feature-branch or a branch as a feature.
  • An Introduction to Git, Part 1 of 3 | Thinking Mobile
  • Git Merge and Rebase, Part 2 of 3 | Thinking Mobile
  • Git Conflicts, Part 3 of 3 | Thinking Mobile

• XML-RPC for WordPress Developers – Some sample codes for using XML-RPC. Just for knowledge. More interested in WP REST API.
• Taking A Closer Look At XML-RPC | @thetorquemag – No sample codes. But provide more explanation about XML-RPC. Like the use of basic authentication (username and password) which raise a security issue and that’s why need to switch to more secure and easier WP REST API.
