Sometimes the best way to handle variable value changes on a Drupal site, would be with an admin settings form to show/edit the value. For example, while implementing a "send test mail" functionality on a Drupal site, we might want to set the recipient address at testing time.

Memcache is used for increasing the speed of dynamic web applications by loading the web page faster. Memcache is used to reduce the number of hits to the database by loading the page from the memory.

Implementing multiple color mode switching is so simple! In HTML we can easily add the switching color style sheets as alternative style sheets. But when it comes to Drupal there is a slight change. Here is how we can implement multiple color switches in Drupal theme. We normally include style sheets in .info file and we cannot specify 'alternative stylesheets' just like in HTML. So here we need a module called Drupal 'Styleswitcher'. By enabling this Drupal module you will get the option 'styleswitcher' to add alternative style sheets. For more details just follow these steps.

Git is one of the most versatile opensource version control systems out there. If you have not already started using Git for your Drupal Development projects, this article should help you get started with it. Please note: I have been using Linux as my development environment, and almost all my illustrations would be for Linux. Still, the commands for using git should be the same for git implementations on all OSes. Please add in a comment if you have any doubts.
