Tips, Expertise, Articles and Advice from the Pro's for Your Website or Blog to Succeed
I was recently started to learn Java (3 months back started), It's going well, learned a lot.
I am reffering this website to undersatand about Java Stack Class.
Can someone tell me which method is best to implement stack class?
Happy Coding!

A commit in Git can be one of two things:
In this post, we’re talking about what it takes to produce the latter type of commit or, in other words: the “perfect” commit.
Is it really necessary to compose commits in a careful, thoughtful way? Can’t we just treat Git as a boring backup system? Let’s revisit our example from above one more time.
If we follow the first path – where we just cram changes into commits whenever they happen – commits lose much of their value. The separation between one commit and the next becomes arbitrary: there seems to be no reason why changes were put into one and not the other commit. Looking at these commits later, e.g. when your colleagues try to make sense of what happened in that revision, is like going through the “everything drawer” that every household has: there’s everything in here that found no place elsewhere, from crayons to thumbtacks and cash slips. It’s terribly hard to find something in these drawers!
Following the second path – where we put only things (read: changes) that belong together into the same commit – requires a bit more planning and discipline. But in the end, you and your team are rewarded with something very valuable: a clean commit history! These commits help you understand what happened. They help explain the complex changes that were made in a digestible manner.
How do we go about creating better commits?
One concept is central to composing better commits in Git: the Staging Area.
The Staging Area was made exactly for this purpose: to allow developers to select changes – in a very granular way – that should be part of the next commit. And, unlike other version control systems, Git forces you to make use of this Staging Area.
Unfortunately, however, it’s still easy to ignore the tidying effect of the Staging Area: a simple git add . will take all of our current local changes and mark them for the next commit.
It’s true that this can be a very helpful and valid approach sometimes. But many times, we would be better off stopping for a second and deciding if really all of our changes are actually about the same topic. Or if two or three separate commits might be a much better choice.
In most cases, it makes a lot of sense to keep commits rather smaller than larger. Focused on an individual topic (instead of two, three, or four), they tend to be much more readable.
The Staging Area allows us to carefully pick each change that should go into the next commit:
$ git add file1.ext file2.extThis will only mark these two files for the next commit and leave the other changes for a future commit or further edits.
This simple act of pausing and deliberately choosing what should make it into the next commit goes a long way. But we can get even more precise than that. Because sometimes, even the changes in a single file belong to multiple topics.
Let’s look at a real-life example and take a look at the exact changes in our “index.html” file. We can either use the “git diff” command or a Git desktop GUI like Tower:
Now, we can add the -p option to git add:
$ git add -p index.htmlWe’re instructing Git to go through this file on a “patch” level: Git takes us by the hand and walks us through all of the changes in this file. And it asks us, for each chunk, if we want to add it to the Staging Area or not:
By typing [Y] (for “yes”) for the first chunk and [N] (for “no”) for the second chunk, we can include the first part of our changes in this file in the next commit, but leave the other changes for a later time or more edits.
The result? A more granular, more precise commit that’s focused on a single topic.
Since we’re talking about “the perfect commit” here, we cannot ignore the topic of testing. How exactly you “test” your code can certainly vary, but the notion that tests are important isn’t new. In fact, many teams refuse to consider a piece of code completed if it’s not properly tested.
If you’re still on the fence about whether you should test your code or not, let’s debunk a couple of myths about testing:
All in all, adding tests to your development habits is almost guaranteed to make your code base more robust. And, at the same time, they help you become a better programmer.
Version control with Git is not a fancy way of backing up your code. And, as we’ve already discussed, commits are not a dump of arbitrary changes. Commits exist to help you and your teammates understand what happened in a project. And a good commit message goes a long way to ensure this.
But what makes a good commit message?
Let’s start with the subject line: the goal is to get a brief summary of what happened. Brevity, of course, is a relative term; but the general rule of thumb is to (ideally) keep the subject under 50 characters. By the way, if you find yourself struggling to come up with something brief, this might be an indicator that the commit tackles too many topics! It could be worthwhile to take another look and see if you have to split it into multiple, separate ones.
If you close the subject with a line break and an additional empty line, Git understands that the following text is the message’s “body.” Here, you have more space to describe what happened. It helps to keep the following questions in mind, which your body text should aim to answer:
If you keep these questions in mind when writing your commit message body, you are very likely to produce a helpful description of what happened. And this, ultimately, benefits your colleagues (and after some time: you) when trying to understand this commit.
On top of the rules I just described about the content of commit messages, many teams also care about the format: agreeing on character limits, soft or hard line wraps, etc. all help to produce better commits within a team.
To make it easier to stick by such rules, we recently added some features to Tower, the Git desktop GUI that we make: you can now, for example, configure character counts or automatic line wraps just as you like.
Any developer will admit that they want a great code base. But there’s only one way to achieve this lofty goal: by consistently producing great commits! I hope I was able to demonstrate that (a) it’s absolutely worth pursuing this goal and (b) it’s not that hard to achieve.
If you want to dive deeper into advanced Git tools, feel free to check out my (free!) “Advanced Git Kit”: it’s a collection of short videos about topics like branching strategies, Interactive Rebase, Reflog, Submodules and much more.
Have fun creating awesome commits!

Of the languages that browsers speak, I’d wager that the very first one that developers decided needed some additional processing was HTML. Every single CMS in the world (aside from intentionally headless-only CMSs) is essentially an elaborate HTML processor: they take content and squoosh it together with HTML templates. There are dozens of other dedicated HTML processing languages that exist today.
The main needs of HTML processing being:
There are plenty of other features they can have, and we’ll get to that, but I think those are the biggies.
This research is brought to you by support from Frontend Masters, CSS-Tricks’ official learning partner.
Frontend Masters is the best place to get it. They have courses on all the most important front-end technologies, from React to CSS, from Vue to D3, and beyond with Node.js and Full Stack.
Consider PHP. It’s literally a “Hypertext Preprocessor.” On this very website, I make use of PHP in order to piece together bits of templated HTML to build the pages and complete content you’re looking at now.
<h2>
<?php the_title(); // Templating! ?>
</h2>
<?php include("metadata.php"); // Partials! ?>In the above code, I’ve squooshed some content into an HTML template, which calls another PHP file that likely contains more templated HTML. PHP covers the two biggies for HTML processing and is available with cost-friendly hosting — I’d guess that’s a big reason why PHP-powered websites power a huge chunk of the entire internet.
But PHP certainly isn’t the only HTML preprocessor around, and it requires a server to work. There are many others, some designed specifically to run during a build process before the website is ever requested by users.
Let’s go language-by-language and look at whether or not it supports certain features and how. When possible the link of the preprocessor name links to relevant docs.
Can you mix in data into the final HTML output?
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| Pug | ✅- var title = "On Dogs: Man's Best Friend"; |
| ERB | ✅<%= title %> |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| PHP | ✅<?php echo $post.title; ?>Also has HEREDOC syntax. |
| Slim | ✅tr |
| Haml | ✅<h1><%= post.title %></h1> |
| Liquid | ✅Hello {{ user.name }}! |
| Go html/template | ✅{{ .Title }} |
| Handlebars | ✅{{firstname}} {{lastname}} |
| Mustache | ✅Hello {{ firstname }}! |
| Twig | ✅{{ foo.bar }} |
| Nunjucks | ✅<h1>{{ title }}</h1> |
| Kit | ✅<!-- $myVar = We finish each other's sandwiches. --> |
| Sergey | ❌ |
Can you compose HTML from smaller parts?
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| Pug | ✅include includes/head.pug |
| ERB | ✅<%= render 'includes/head' %> |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| PHP | ✅<?php include 'head.php'; ?> |
| Slim | ⚠️ If you have access to the Ruby code, it looks like it can do it, but you have to write custom helpers. |
| Haml | ✅.content |
| Liquid | ✅{% render head.html %} |
| Go html/template | ✅{{ partial "includes/head.html" . }} |
| Handlebars | ⚠️ Only through registering a partial ahead of time. |
| Mustache | ✅{{> next_more}} |
| Twig | ✅{{ include('page.html', sandboxed = true) }} |
| Nunjucks | ✅{% include "missing.html" ignore missing %} |
| Kit | ✅<!-- @import "someFile.kit" --> |
| Sergey | ✅<sergey-import src="header" /> |
As in, can you pass data to the include/partial for it to use specifically? For example, in Liquid, you can pass a second parameter of variables for the partial to use. But in PHP or Twig, there is no such ability—they can only access global variables.
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| PHP | ❌ |
| ERB | ✅<%= render( |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| Pug | ⚠️ Pug has mixins that you can put in a separate file and call. Not quite the same concept but can be used similarly. |
| Slim | ❌ |
| Haml | ✅.content |
| Liquid | ✅{% render "name", my_variable: my_variable, my_other_variable: "oranges" %} |
| Go html/template | ✅{{ partial "header/site-header.html" . }}(The period at the end is “variable scoping.”) |
| Handlebars | ✅{{> myPartial parameter=favoriteNumber }} |
| Mustache | ❌ |
| Twig | ✅{% include 'template.html' with {'foo': 'bar'} only %} |
| Nunjucks | ✅{% macro field(name, value='', type='text') %} |
| Kit | ❌ |
| Sergey | ❌ |
Sometimes you just need 100 <div>s, ya know? Or more likely, you need to loop over an array of data and output HTML for each entry. There are lots of different types of loops, but having at least one is nice and you can generally make it work for whatever you need to loop.
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| PHP | ✅for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) { |
| ERB | ✅<% for i in 0..9 do %> |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| Pug | ✅for (var x = 1; x < 16; x++) |
| Slim | ✅- for i in (1..15) |
| Haml | ✅(1..16).each do |i| |
| Liquid | ✅{% for i in (1..5) %} |
| Go html/template | ✅{{ range $i, $sequence := (seq 5) }} |
| Handlebars | ✅{{#each myArray}} |
| Mustache | ✅{{#myArray}} |
| Twig | ✅{% for i in 0..10 %} |
| Nunjucks | ✅{% set points = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] %} |
| Kit | ❌ |
| Sergey | ❌ |
Mustache is famous for philosophically being “logic-less.” So sometimes it’s desirable to have a templating language that doesn’t mix in any other functionality, forcing you to deal with your business logic in another layer. Sometimes, a little logic is just what you need in a template. And actually, even Mustache has some basic logic.
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| Pug | ✅#user |
| ERB | ✅<% if show %> |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| PHP | ✅<?php if (value > 10) { ?> |
| Slim | ✅- unless items.empty?If you turn on logic less mode:- article |
| Haml | ✅if data == true |
| Liquid | ✅{% if user %} |
| Go html/template | ✅{{ if isset .Params "title" }} |
| Handlebars | ✅{{#if author}} |
| Mustache | ✅ It’s kind of ironic that Mustache calls itself “Logic-less templates”, but they do kinda have logic in the form of “inverted sections.” {{#repo}} |
| Twig | ✅{% if online == false %} |
| Nunjucks | ✅{% if hungry %} |
| Kit | ✅ It can output a variable if it exists, which it calls “optionals”: <dd class='<!-- $myVar? -->'> Page 1 </dd> |
| Sergey | ❌ |
What I mean by filter here is a way to output content, but change it on the way out. For example, escape special characters or capitalize text.
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| Pug | ⚠️ Pug thinks of filters as ways to use other languages within Pug, and doesn’t ship with any out of the box. |
| ERB | ✅ Whatever Ruby has, like: "hello James!".upcase #=> "HELLO JAMES!" |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| PHP | ✅$str = "Mary Had A Little Lamb"; |
| Slim | ⚠️ Private only? |
| Haml | ⚠️ Very specific one for whitespace removal. Mostly for embedding other languages? |
| Liquid | ✅ Lots of them, and you can use multiple. {{ "adam!" | capitalize | prepend: "Hello " }} |
| Go html/template | ⚠️ Has a bunch of functions, many of which are filter-like. |
| Handlebars | ⚠️ Triple-brackets do HTML escaping, but otherwise, you’d have to register your own block helpers. |
| Mustache | ❌ |
| Twig | ✅{% autoescape "html" %} |
| Nunjucks | ✅{% filter replace("force", "forth") %} |
| Kit | ❌ |
| Sergey | ❌ |
Sometimes math is baked right into the language. Some of these languages are built on top of other languages, and thus use that other language to do the math. Like Pug is written in JavaScript, so you can write JavaScript in Pug, which can do math.
| Processor | Support |
|---|---|
| PHP | ✅<?php echo 1 + 1; ?> |
| ERB | ✅<%= 1 + 1 %> |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| Pug | ✅- const x = 1 + 1 |
| Slim | ✅- x = 1 + 1 |
| Haml | ✅%p= 1 + 1 |
| Liquid | ✅{{ 1 | plus: 1 }} |
| Go html/template | ✅{{add 1 2}} |
| Handlebars | ❌ |
| Mustache | ❌ |
| Twig | ✅{{ 1 + 1 }} |
| Nunjucks | ✅{{ 1 + 1 }} |
| Kit | ❌ |
| Sergey | ❌ |
The concept of a slot is a template that has special areas within it that are filled with content should it be available. It’s conceptually similar to partials, but almost in reverse. Like you could think of a template with partials as the template calling those partials to compose a page, and you almost think of slots like a bit of data calling a template to turn itself into a complete page. Vue is famous for having slots, a concept that made its way to web components.
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| PHP | ❌ |
| ERB | ❌ |
| Markdown | ❌ |
| Pug | ✅ You can pull it off with “mixins” |
| Slim | ❌ |
| Haml | ❌ |
| Liquid | ❌ |
| Go html/template | ❌ |
| Handlebars | ❌ |
| Mustache | ❌ |
| Twig | ✅{% block footer %} |
| Nunjucks | ✅{% block item %} |
| Kit | ❌ |
| Sergey | ✅<sergey-slot /> |
HTML has <angle> <brackets> and while whitespace matters a little (a space is a space, but 80 spaces is also… a space), it’s not really a whitespace dependant language like Pug or Python. Changing these things up is a language choice. If all the language does is add in extra syntax, but otherwise, you write HTML as normal HTML, I’m considering that not a special syntax. If the language changes how you write normal HTML, that’s special syntax.
| Processor | Example |
|---|---|
| PHP | ❌ |
| ERB | In Ruby, if you want that you generally do Haml. |
| Markdown | ✅ This is pretty much the whole point of Markdown. # Title |
| Pug | ✅ |
| Slim | ✅ |
| Haml | ✅ |
| Liquid | ❌ |
| Go html/template | ❌ |
| Handlebars | ❌ |
| Mustache | ❌ |
| Twig | ❌ |
| Nunjucks | ❌ |
| Kit | ⚠️ HTML comment directives. |
| Sergey | ⚠️ Some invented HTML tags. |
I’d agree that those technologies are component-based and used to do templating and often craft complete pages. They also can do many/most of the features listed here. Them, and the many other JavaScript-based-frameworks like them, are also generally capable of running on a server or during a build step and producing HTML, even if it sometimes feels like an afterthought (but not always). They also have other features that can be extremely compelling, like scoped/encapsulated styles, which requires cooperation between the HTML and CSS, which is an enticing feature.
I didn’t include them because they are generally intentionally used to essentially craft the DOM. They are focused on things like data retrieval and manipulation, state management, interactivity, and such. They aren’t really focused on just being an HTML processor. If you’re using a JavaScript framework, you probably don’t need a dedicated HTML processor, although it absolutely can be done. For example, mixing Markdown and JSX or mixing Vue templates and Pug.
I didn’t even put native web components on the list here because they are very JavaScript-focused.

Do you want to add a CRM to your WordPress site?
Integrating WordPress with a CRM allows you to easily manage customer interactions on your website and follow up with leads.
In this article, we’ll show you how to add a CRM on your WordPress website to boost conversions and sales.
CRM or Customer Relationship Management software allows you to easily manage a customer’s interactions with your business. A CRM helps you track the user journey of each website visitor, keep a record of previous interactions, and successfully convert leads into customers.
There are many CRM solutions available on the market. Most of them allow you to store customer information in the cloud so you can track and manage customer relationships with an easy to use dashboard.
We recommend using HubSpot. It is the best CRM software on the market and can be easily integrated into your WordPress website.
It allows you to capture customer information with forms, chat bots, email service providers, and more. It also integrates with all popular third-party tools that you may already be using to grow your business online.
More importantly, it is extremely easy to use even for beginners who have never used a CRM before.
That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily add a CRM to your WordPress site.
First thing you need to do is sign up for a HubSpot CRM account. They have a limited free CRM software plan which allows you to get started and try out the software without a big upfront investment.
Once you have signed up, you need to connect your HubSpot CRM account to your WordPress website.
Simply install and activate the HubSpot plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, the plugin will add a new HubSpot menu to your WordPress admin sidebar. Clicking it will take you to the setup wizard where you need to click on the ‘Sign in here’ link at the top.
This will bring up a popup where you need to enter your HubSpot login details. After that, you can select your website and then click on the ‘Continue with this account’ button.
The plugin will now connect your WordPress site to your HubSpot CRM account.
HubSpot CRM comes with built-in tools to collect customer data on your WordPress website and add it to your contacts list. This includes forms, live chat, and email.
You can easily create forms by visiting HubSpot » Forms page and clicking on the Create Form button.
If you’re already using a form plugin on your website such as WPForms, then HubSpot will automatically detect those form submissions and adds them to your contacts.
Similarly, you can also create a live chat widget by visiting HubSpot » Live Chat page and clicking the ‘Create a chatflow’ button.
HubSpot also integrates with other top live chat software on the market if you prefer to use a different provider. HubSpot will automatically start populating your contacts list from your live chat conversations.
You can also import your contacts from your existing email marketing service provider. Simply go to HubSpot » Email page and choose your email service provider for detailed instructions.
You can also manually add contacts by visiting HubSpot » Contacts page and clicking on the Create Contact button.
After you start adding leads from your WordPress site to your CRM software, the next step is to manage your business’s interactions with them.
From the Hubspot menu in your WordPress dashboard, you can simply click on a contact name to edit it and see a detailed view of all interactions. You can view the user journey that led them to the form submission.
From here, you can assign the contact to a team member, send and track emails, create tasks, schedule meetings and calls, and more.
All these interactions will be automatically tracked and recorded into your CRM software.
You can also set a status for a contact based on how far along they are in your sales funnel. For instance, you can mark the status as lead, potential lead, customer, opportunity, and more.
HubSpot offers a good set of tools to capture leads, track contacts, and manage customer relationships. However, you may want to use other third-party tools for conversion optimization and lead capturing.
The good news is that HubSpot works automatically with many of the popular marketing tools. Following are a few the most popular marketing tools you can use with your HubSpot CRM.
WPForms is the best WordPress form builder plugin that is perfect for creating lead capturing forms for your website.
It has payment addons, user journey tracking, and many advanced features that are missing in the default HubSpot forms. For example, the form abandonment feature allows you to capture leads even with the user doesn’t finish filling out the form.
You can also use WPForms to create surveys and polls, forms with digital signatures, multi-page forms, and most any other type of form you need for your business.
OptinMonster is the best tool for conversion optimization. It allows you to capture more leads and quickly grow your email list.
With OptinMonster’s drag and drop builder, you can create lightbox popups, spin-a-wheel popups, slide in boxes, header and footer banners, countdown timers, and much more.
LiveChat is the best live chat and marketing automation platform on the market. Whether you use it for support or sales, it integrates with your HubSpot CRM and allows you to easily follow up with potential leads.
Unlike Hubspot’s built-in chat feature, it comes with incredibly powerful targeting rules that let you show personalized campaigns at right time to maximize your conversions.
SeedProd is the best WordPress page builder tool on the market. It allows you to quickly create professional grade marketing pages, landing pages, sales pages, and other campaigns. This helps you get even more leads without any coding skills.
Apart from these tools, you can also connect your HubSpot CRM to thousands of other apps via Zapier.

Inspiration lies everywhere. In the fall leaves shining in the most beautiful colors these days, in the misty mornings and golden afternoons that October might bring along, or taking a walk on a windy day. Whatever it is that gets you inspired, our monthly wallpapers series is bound to give you a little inspiration boost, too.
For this October edition, artists and designers from across the globe once again challenged their creative skills and designed wallpapers to spark your imagination and make the month a bit more colorful as it already is. Just like every month since we embarked on this creativity mission more than ten years ago.
The wallpapers all come in versions with and without a calendar for October 2021 — so no matter if you want to keep an eye on your deadlines or plan to use your favorite design even after the month has ended, we’ve got you covered. At the end of this post, you’ll also find some oldies but goodies from our wallpapers archives. A huge thank-you to everyone who shared their artworks with us! Happy October!
Did you know that you could get featured in our next wallpapers post, too? We are always looking for creative talent! Join in! →

Hidden in our wallpapers archives, we rediscovered some almost-forgotten treasures from past October editions. May we present… (Please note that these designs don’t come with a calendar.)
“Did you know that squirrels don’t just eat nuts? They really like to eat fruit, too. Since apples are the seasonal fruit of October, I decided to combine both things into a beautiful image.” — Designed by Erin Troch from Belgium.
“October is a significant month for me because it is when my favorite type of bird travels south. For that reason I have chosen to write about the swallow. When I was young, I had a bird’s nest not so far from my room window. I watched the birds almost every day; because those swallows always left their nests in October. As a child, I dreamt that they all flew together to a nicer place, where they were not so cold.” — Designed by Eline Claeys from Belgium.

“When I was little, my parents always took me and my sister for a walk at the beach in Nieuwpoort, we didn't really do those beach walks in the summer but always when the sky started to turn grey and the days became colder. My sister and I always took out our warmest scarfs and played in the sand while my parents walked behind us. I really loved those Saturday or Sunday mornings where we were all together. I think October (when it’s not raining) is the perfect month to go to the beach for ‘uitwaaien’ (to blow out), to walk in the wind and take a break and clear your head, relieve the stress or forget one’s problems.” — Designed by Gwen Bogaert from Belgium.
“We are about to experience the magical imagery of nature, with all the yellows, ochers, oranges, and reds coming our way this fall. With all the subtle sunrises and the burning sunsets before us, we feel so joyful that we are going to shout it out to the world from the top of the mountains.” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.
“You can only fully master the sky wearing an aviator hat and goggles. Like this little bat, flying home to celebrate Halloween with his family and friends.” — Designed by Franke Margrete from the Netherlands.
“To me, October is a transitional month. We gradually slide from summer to autumn. That’s why I chose to use a lot of gradients. I also wanted to work with simple shapes, because I think of October as the ‘back to nature/back to basics month’.” — Designed by Jelle Denturck from Belgium.

“October is the month when the weather in Poland starts to get colder, and it gets very rainy, too. You can’t always spend your free time outside, so it’s the perfect opportunity to get some hot coffee and work on your next cool web project!” — Designed by Robert Brodziak from Poland.
“The days are colder, but the colors are warmer, and with every step we go further, new earthly architecture reveals itself, making the best of winters’ dawn.” — Designed by Ana Masnikosa from Belgrade, Serbia.

“The term ‘Hanlu’ literally translates as ‘Cold Dew.’ The cold dew brings brisk mornings and evenings. Eventually the briskness will turn cold, as winter is coming soon. And chrysanthemum is the iconic flower of Cold Dew.” — Designed by Hong, ZI-Qing from Taiwan.
“Autumn is the best moment for discovering the universe. I am looking for a new galaxy or maybe… a UFO!” — Designed by Verónica Valenzuela from Spain.
Designed by Ricardo Delgado from Mexico City.
“Waiting at the bus stop when it’s raining in October can be a sad and wet experience. The bus is late, the dry spot is taken by other people and you’re just standing there in the rain with your hands in your pockets with nowhere to go. Acorns must have a hard time like that too! Waiting in the rain for the squirrels to come and pick them up.” — Designed by Casey Dulst from Belgium.
“The colors of the sun inspired me.” — Designed by Hitesh Puri from India.
