Images can be tricky to deal with in a responsive environment; by nature they are a 'static' element with specific dimensions, so how can we manipulate them into working with our lovely fluid/flexible web layouts?

I wanted to take a few moments to talk about some of "the basics" that are all-to-often glossed over... A Matter of Style In general, I find that most PHP programmers fall into one of three main programming styles: procedural: a simple ordered set of instructions, nested if's/ else's, etc.functional: functions are little code containers that you can call on when needed.
