Working with images and resizing or cropping them can sometimes be challenging as there is always a math going on behind: the ratios, resizing with the width or height, x-y values for cropping, etc.
phpThumb is a PHP library that handles all the hard work on creating thumbnails with only few lines of code.
It accepts any source types for images (from the filesystem, URL or database) and all popular image formats.
Images can be rotated, cropped, watermarked, their quality can be defined and there is even a built-in caching to minimize the server load.
phpThumb also has a wide collection of filters including contrast, blur, brightness, applying rounded corners and more.

There are several awesome and feature-rich frameworks out there for building mobile web apps which can handle almost any scenario.
For complicated apps, they are usually the best option to go with. However, if you are building a simpler app that requires the most standard UI features, Zoey can be for you.
It is a HTML5-CSS3-powered framework for creating mobile apps, built on top of Zepto.js and weights only 6kb (gzipped).
Zoey has the UI components like navigation, lists, buttons, control groups, forms and grids.
The framework is compatible with iOS + Android and comes with an app skeleton that covers all the features.

Substance is an open source and web-based application for authoring and publishing documents.
It offers a MS Word-like-yet-simpler and easy to use interface for creating, editing and organizing content.
Any number of other users can be invited for collaborative editing where it will be possible to view which user created which parts of the document.
Users can subscribe to document for getting notified about the updates and comment on any parts of the content (and they can be seen in a nice toggled view).
The "table of contents" are created automatically and helps browsing long documents faster.
Also, an export feature can convert documents into many other formats including PDF, ODT, RDF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown and more.
Even if the Substance is not used as is, the modules (document editing, exporting, etc.) of the application are very handy to be used/integrated in other apps.

The latest and greatest version of the WordPress software — 3.3, named “Sonny” in honor of the great jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt — is immediately available for download or update inside your WordPress dashboard.
WordPress has had over 65 million downloads since version 3.0 was released, and in this third major iteration we’ve added significant polish around the new user experience, navigation, uploading, and imports. Check out this short video that summarizes the things we think you’ll find are the cat’s pajamas:
Experienced users will appreciate the new drag-and-drop uploader, hover menus for the navigation, the new toolbar, improved co-editing support, and the new Tumblr importer. We’ve also been thinking a ton about what the WordPress experience is like for people completely new to the software. Version 3.3 has significant improvements there with pointer tips for new features included in each update, a friendly welcome message for first-time users, and revamped help tabs throughout the interface. Finally we’ve improved the dashboard experience on the iPad and other tablets with better touch support.
There is a ton of candy for developers as well. I’d recommend starting your exploration with the new editor API, new jQuery version, better ways to hook into the help screens, more performant post-slug-only permalinks, and of course the entire list of improvements on the Codex and in Trac.
The Credits tab on the new About WordPress screen in the WordPress dashboard provides recognition for contributors to each release, but we like to thank them here as well.
