Create a Password Protected ZIP
Have you ever wanted to put very basic security (a passphrase) on a file? You can do so if you ZIP the file -- let's have a look at how you can password-protect a ZIP file!
Creating a password protected ZIP file from command line is done so via the following command:
# zip -er {file name to be created} {source directory or file}
zip -er my-generated-file.zip source-file.rtf
When someone tries to unzip the file, they'll be prompted for a password.
Don't be under any illusion that a password makes the ZIP file too secure: ZIP files don't self-destruct after a given number of attempts so a brute force effort to crack the password would ultimately be effective. If you do, however, want a very basic level of security for the contents of a file, this command will get you there.

![Unicode CSS Classes]()
CSS class name structure and consistency is really important; some developers camelcase classnames, others use dashes, and others use underscores. One thing I've learned when toying around by HTML and CSS class names is that you can actually use unicode symbols and icons as classnames.
