How to Add CSS to your HTML Pages Read the full article here In this article we ll discuss three methods to add or link CSS to an HTML document Inline stylesThe style tagExternal stylesheets Inline StylesInline styles in HTML allow you to apply custom CSS styling rules directly to elements within an HTML document To apply inline styles you need to add the style attribute to the HTML element you wish to style The style attribute should contain one or more CSS property value pairs enclosed within curly braces Below is an example lt h style color red font size px gt Hello World lt h gt Style TagAnother common way of adding CSS to your document is using the style tag The Style tag in HTML allows you to define CSS rules directly inside an HTML document usually the head of the markup This method is common when working on single page website where there is less styling needed lt DOCTYPE html gt lt html gt lt head gt lt title gt Style Tag Example lt title gt lt style gt h color blue font size px lt style gt lt head gt lt body gt lt h gt This is a Heading lt h gt lt p gt This is a paragraph lt p gt lt body gt lt html gt One significant advantage of using the Style tag is that you can define specific styles for different media types For example you can define different styles for printing screen or mobile views External StylesheetsAn external stylesheet is a separate CSS file that is linked to an HTML document using the link tag This file typically has a css extension and contains the style rules for the entire website Here s an example lt DOCTYPE html gt lt html gt lt head gt lt title gt External Stylesheet Example lt title gt lt link rel stylesheet href style css gt lt head gt lt body gt lt h gt This is a Heading lt h gt lt p gt This is a paragraph lt p gt lt body gt lt html gt In the example above the link tag is used to point to style css which is a separate file that contains CSS rules for the website Check out this post here Also have a look at my blog Thanks |

SOLID Principles: A Quick Guide (.NET examples) |
https://dev.to/philip-ainberger/solid-principles-a-quick-guide-net-examples-lia

SOLID Principles A Quick Guide NET examples Recently I was thinking about some topics for a short and knowledge refreshing article One subject that I rarely hear being talked about but is really important in software development are the SOLID principles For a lot of experienced developers these rules may seem pretty clear yet I often come across code changes that don t follow these principles Sometimes I even find some that I ve made myself so no disrespect intended To enhance the value of this article I ve included some basic explanations and examples in C Single Responsibility Principle SRP Each class should have one and only one reason to change This means a class should only have one job Example public class Order public void CalculateTotalSum public void GetItems public void PrintOrder public void ShowOrder This Order class violates SRP because it has more than one responsibility A better approach is to split this into several classes each handling a single concern Open Closed Principle OCP Software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification This encourages stability while allowing system growth Example public class Rectangle public double Height get set public double Width get set public class AreaCalculator public double TotalArea Rectangle arrRectangles double area foreach var objRectangle in arrRectangles area objRectangle Height objRectangle Width return area In this example if we want to add a new shape we d have to modify the AreaCalculator class which violates OCP Liskov Substitution Principle LSP This principle insists that subclasses must be substitutable for their base classes without affecting functionality Example public class Vehicle public virtual void StartEngine public class ElectricCar Vehicle public override void StartEngine public class Bicycle Vehicle public override void StartEngine Here a Bicycle doesn t have an engine to start so substituting a Vehicle with a Bicycle would cause issues thus violating LSP A better approach would be to have a separate class for vehicles with engines Interface Segregation Principle ISP No client should be forced to depend on interfaces they do not use Examplepublic interface IWorker void Work void Eat Here if a robot implements IWorker the Eat method is useless This violates ISP It s better to break this into two interfaces IWorker and IEater Dependency Inversion Principle DIP High level modules should not depend on low level modules but both should depend on abstractions This reduces tight coupling Example public class Email public void SendEmail public class Notification private Email email public Notification email new Email here the Notification class is tightly coupled with the Email class Using DIP we can introduce an interface to decouple them Despite their importance in writing maintainable and scalable code these principles are frequently overlooked For me it was a short simple and much needed refresher Hopefully for any other reader too Feel free to comment your thoughtsHappy coding |

Nintendo Switch Online gets four classic Genesis games including Ghouls n GhostsThe Nintendo Switch Online library just got a bit beefier thanks to the addition of four classic Sega Genesis titles The subscription based classic games platform is now host to Ghouls n Ghosts The Revenge of Shinobi Landstalker and Crusader of Centy joining around pre existing Genesis titles and many more NES SNES and Game Boy releases That s right Sonic and Mario are friends now For the uninitiated Ghouls n Ghosts is a tough as nails platformer that still gives nightmares to adults of a certain age The Rise of Shinobi is a serviceable entry in the OG ninja simulation franchise Landstalker is a cult favorite action RPG with an isometric view and Crusader of Centy is a well reviewed yet relatively obscure Zelda clone Crusader of Centy is tough to find with physical copies selling for thousands of dollars so this is a boon for retro gaming enthusiasts Here s a video of all four games in action so you can decide if you want to plunk down for a yearly NSO Expansion Pack subscription As a note these games are only available with a yearly Expansion Pack subscription though that also gets you access to N and Game Boy Advance titles If you just want to play from a library of NES SNES and Game Boy releases go with the cheaper standard NSO subscription of each year Nintendo isn t exactly speedy with these releases with game drops around once a month so check the full library before handing over your debit card information This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The best music streaming services in 2023 |
https://www.engadget.com/best-music-streaming-service-130046189.html?src=rss
|
The best music streaming services in It s difficult to pinpoint the best music streaming service for everyone Most of the popular options available today hit on the essentials a giant and diverse library of music that you can access àla carte sort into playlists download for offline listening and play across multiple devices Most are available for around the same price too That said there are subtle yet significant differences in features and philosophy among them that can determine which will fit into your life best To assist those thinking about trying a new music app we ve spent the past few months using most popular music streaming services simultaneously testing their limits and seeing how they adapt to our input Most well rounded Apple MusicNo music streaming service is perfect but for many Apple Music should get the closest to covering all of the necessary bases It has a library of more than million songs all of which are available in lossless streaming quality for no extra cost Its user interface doesn t make it too hard to get to your music library and strikes a balance between useful algorithmic recommendations and smartly curated content from actual people It s one of the few music streaming services that lets you upload your own music files and naturally it s tightly integrated with Apple devices Apple Music s ALAC files have a minimum resolution of bit kHz which is the same quality you d hear from a CD A smaller but still significant selection can stream at higher resolutions up to bit kHz A significant number of albums are also available in Dolby Atmos surround sound mixes or “spatial audio Lossless streaming isn t a game changer for most casual listeners You need a decent set of wired headphones and an external DAC or a good speaker system to take full advantage and the upgrade isn t so stark that non enthusiasts will care That said even if the difference is subtle a lossless file does sound better than a more compressed one particularly in the way it draws out higher frequency sounds from cymbals strings and the like Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetSpatial audio on the other hand is more of a fun gimmick technologically impressive yes and sometimes genuinely immersive but just as likely to make a record sound less natural Relative to other music streaming services Apple Music s UI is perfectly serviceable In general it emphasizes human curation more than peers like Spotify or YouTube Music It s not as great an emphasis as it used to be and the home “Listen Now tab can be a smorgasbord of hit and miss suggestions based on your recent listening history Still the service is littered with clever editor picked playlists The default search page holds several different genre tabs each of which holds relevant playlists music videos and a typically spot on list of “essential albums Artist pages often spotlight a group s most essential works alongside playlists of “deep cuts artists that likely inspired them artists that were influenced by them and so on Streaming radio stations are one of Apple Music s biggest differentiators There s a regular rotation of shows that feature artist interviews and have a sort of pre internet feel The main tabs often make room to highlight new buzzy releases and you can find top charts for different countries and cities All of this gives Apple Music an air of taste something that can help you find music but prioritizes a personal touch Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetBeyond that getting a simple view of your saved artists albums songs and playlists is uncomplicated You can reliably search for tracks by lyrics and there s a great lyrics view for impromptu karaoke sessions Creating playlists and downloading albums for offline listening is straightforward and you can start a radio station from any song While your imported music won t be available in lossless quality being able to upload music at all is a great boon for those with big iTunes libraries Just note that you re capped at tracks that aren t already available in the app If you enjoy classical music Apple recently launched an Apple Music Classical app that s dedicated to the genre and comes included with most Apple Music plans Booting those works into a separate app is somewhat cumbersome though There are still some drawbacks While Apple Music has apps for Android Windows and web browsers the Windows app is only available in a buggy “preview form as of this writing and there s no lossless streaming in a browser It s best used with Apple devices There s bafflingly no way to see a list of your “loved songs in the mobile app There s no free tier or annual family plan either and the individual plan is more a month than some competitors Free tier NoIndividual plan month or yearFamily plan month up to members Voice plan month only usable with Siri Student plan monthBest for music discovery SpotifySpotify leans much harder on algorithmic suggestions than Apple Music but having a giant treasure trove of user listening data for so many years has allowed the service to fine tune its music recommendation engine This is the main reason to consider it No service is more accurate at reading the music you like and serving up worthwhile suggestions for other songs you might enjoy even if its UI is arguably getting worse with every update As the most popular music streaming app it s also available on a wide array of devices Spotify is particularly impressive at creating playlists “Discover Weekly is famously adept at digging up unheard tracks and artists that align with your tastes “Release Radar is similarly impressive at spotlighting new tracks from artists you follow and those with complementary sounds A selection of “Daily Mix playlists blend past likes with deeper cuts from artists in your library and similar songs from ones who aren t then sorts them by mood as much as genre Based on what you ve been playing you may wake up to one mix that s mostly upbeat electro another marked by soaring indie rock and another with spacey hip hop While its selections can be more hit or miss a new “Niche Mixes feature lets you search for a mood or genre and have the app generate a relevant playlist Simply following the algorithm down its rabbit holes makes it easy to find something nbsp you can enjoy in just a few taps Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetThat said there are still a ton of human curated playlists to peruse as well Regularly updated lists like “Rap Caviar “New Music Friday and “Viva Latino may not be tailored specifically for you but they re clearly programmed by knowledgeable people in tune with current trends A huge range of less frequently updated playlists based on genres eras and vibes give the same impression There s a human touch here it s just not emphasized as much as it is in Apple Music so which you ll prefer depends on how willing you are to let an algorithm lead the way Spotify s interface isn t bad but some recent changes have made it harder to use The home tab has rows of suggestions based on your recent listening history I went through a big yacht rock phase while researching this guide for example so my homepage became peppered with playlists like “Soft Rock Classics “All Out s and “Totally Stress Free It wasn t all stuff like that but the point is that the service will sensibly morph and adapt as your listening habits change Sorting and searching through your own library is relatively clean and a playlist with all your liked songs is featured prominently in the “Playlists section There s a useful lyrics view for sing alongs Search usually works as it should letting you look up music by title lyric artist or even context like “workout or “studying Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetMaking and sharing a playlist is a breeze Artist pages aren t as comprehensive as Apple Music s but they do include a list of upcoming tour dates with links to tickets from sites like Songkick AXS and Ticketmaster The search tab has dedicated pages for various genres and vibes from “Jazz and “R amp B to “In the car and “League of Legends You can start a radio station from any track too though this might repeat songs over time Spotify has made a huge push into podcasts and audiobooks in recent years snapping up exclusive deals with several popular shows along the way for better or worse Some may find this convenient but it makes the UI feel cluttered A row with “Your shows is displayed right at the top of the home tab which includes not only the shows you ve subscribed to but annoyingly ones you ve recently put on just once Apple Music and many others completely omit podcasts so they ll be less aggravating if you d prefer your music app to focus solely on music On the mobile app you can filter the home screen by music podcasts and audiobooks but Spotify recently revamped these to look more like TikTok style feeds with huge autoplaying suggestion cards This may look fresh but scrolling through an endless feed one or two suggestions at a time is not an efficient way to find content Similarly the prominently featured AI powered DJ tool is technically impressive but also has a tendency to make jarring jumps from genre to genre It speaks to an app that may be putting a little too much emphasis on its algorithmic prowess Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetSpotify doesn t offer lossless streaming instead topping out at a relatively low Kbps bitrate using the Ogg Vorbis format Web browser playback uses AAC and maxes out at Kbps The company announced a CD quality “HiFi tier more than two years ago and says that s still on the way but how it ll work and what it ll cost remains unclear Spotify offers a more robust free tier than most of its peers You ll have to deal with ads an even lower Kbps bitrate and limits on track skips and on demand playback but you can still listen to several personalized playlists and enjoy much of the library For casual background listening it may be enough While it doesn t have a practical effect on your listening experience Spotify is particularly terrible when it comes to artist payouts Some music workers have even launched advocacy campaigns seeking fairer compensation and greater transparency Music streaming isn t an ideal setup for artists particularly independent acts but Spotify is the poster child for everything wrong with the current system Free tier YesIndividual plan month month subscription gift cards for Duo plan month members Family plan month up to members Student plan monthBest for more obscure music YouTube MusicFrom a UI or streaming quality perspective there s little reason to choose YouTube Music instead of Apple Music or Spotify Still Google s music service has a few unique selling points that could make it worthwhile Arguably the most compelling is that it comes included with a YouTube Premium subscription For a month or a year this also removes ads from YouTube lets you download videos for offline viewing and enables background playback Those features alone are massive benefits if you re a frequent YouTube user and you get a full music service on top Even without the perk of ad free YouTube YouTube Music benefits from a close integration with the video platform YouTube is home to a mountain of content not available on other top music streaming services and integrates it with your music library If you re into rare live performances deep underground hip hop obscure soundtracks nightmarish Neil Cicierega mashups or Aphex Twin remixes made entirely from the sounds of Super Mario this is the service for you Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetIf you sign up for YouTube Music with the same account you use for YouTube music you ve liked on the latter will already be there and help inform the service s recommendations Naturally this integration also makes YouTube Music the best choice for music videos which you can swap to with a single tap Because it s wrangling so much material however YouTube Music s UI can feel scattershot and overwhelming Scrolling down the home page reveals a hodgepodge of recent listens liked music curated and community generated playlists “similar to suggestions radio stations music videos algorithmically personalized mixes new releases and top charts Searching for an artist may display community playlists and covers underneath more traditional results it also tends to blend singles with full albums and it doesn t display albums in chronological order Content originally hosted on YouTube won t integrate with your library as neatly as standard material either Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetThat said the sheer mass of suggestions make YouTube Music good at surfacing new music you might like and its “Discover Mix works nearly as well as Spotify s Discover Weekly A few buttons at the top of the app can filter the home page s suggestions to suit different moods Relax Workout Energize Commute or Focus You can start a radio station from any song though we also found this to regurgitate previously liked tracks more than we d prefer You can upload up to of your own music files too which ll be available even if you aren t a paid subscriber these won t affect the service s recommendations however YouTube Music lacks lossless streaming and tops out at a relatively low Kbps bitrate so it s not for audio enthusiasts There s no dedicated desktop app and while there is an ad supported tier it stops playback whenever you exit the app on a phone and maxes at a rough Kbps bitrate All of your playlists are limited to a maximum of songs Podcast support is on the way though as of this writing it s unclear how that ll look Google also has a long history of killing its own products including this service s predecessor we d understand if that makes you skittish long term though the company seems committed to improving YouTube Music today Free tier YesIndividual plan month or year also available as part of YouTube Premium subscription for month or yearFamily plan month up to members Student plan monthAnother good option Amazon Music UnlimitedAmazon Music Unlimited is a strong alternative to Apple Music and Spotify if you want podcasts and lossless streaming within the same app Like Apple Music it offers million songs in CD quality at no extra cost with a smaller but ever growing selection of FLAC files available in “Ultra HD bit kHz Various tracks are mixed in Dolby Atmos or Sony s Reality Audio as well Like Spotify its catalog encompasses a wide selection of non music content Most of the major podcast networks are represented and several shows are presented ad free If you already subscribe to Amazon Prime you can get Music Unlimited for less than its rivals with an individual plan available for a month or a year It s not a massive discount but or less each year isn t nothing when the broad differences between music streaming services are so marginal Naturally Music Unlimited works the smoothest on Amazon s fleet of Alexa devices as well Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetMusic Unlimited s UI is similar to its peers but has some annoyances Amazon is more aggressive than Spotify when it comes to pushing podcasts that don t align with your listening history Radio stations and algorithmic playlists don t display what songs are in the queue Search isn t as precise as the options above and you can t directly search through the saved albums on your library page Amazon is also less proactive about surfacing new music you might like than Apple or Spotify Even still Music Unlimited delivers an impressive catalog for a potentially cut rate price Free tier YesIndividual plan month month or year with Amazon PrimeFamily plan month or year up to members Single device plan month for one Echo or Fire TV only Student plan monthHonorable mentionsPhoto by Jeff Dunn EngadgetTidalTidal offers the highest royalty rates for artists CD quality streaming at no extra cost a free tier a library of more than million songs and an experience rich with human curation and feature style content If you re a music nerd and determined to not give another monthly fee to a tech industry behemoth it s a good choice Its apps aren t quite as smooth as those from Apple Music though and its highest resolution tier costs a month Those high res tracks are also encoded in MQA a partly lossy format that still sounds sharp but isn t open source like FLAC QobuzQobuz is a favorite in audiophile circles particularly when it s paired with the Roon music player Like Tidal it downplays algorithmic discovery for a more considered editorial heavy approach It offers up to bit kHz FLAC streams and includes a digital music store for purchasing high res downloads of various albums It s particularly attentive to classical music But unless you want to avoid Apple or Amazon you can get similarly high quality streaming for a lower price Some may also find the UI leans too hard on personal curation and requires too much effort to discover new music DeezerDeezer has an attractive interface a competitive library CD quality streaming and the ability to upload your own MP files to the service from a desktop It s at least worth a look if you want an independent service and don t fancy yourself an audiophile Though its suggestions and playlists generally aren t as robust as its competitors It also lacks a high res tier to match Apple Amazon Tidal or Qobuz This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
