It means constantly updating with fresh content on your websites will be more beneficial for your website and ultimately it gives you a better result. This could only be possible when you use Question answer script. It is a website solution for making question answer websites. Question answer websites has many advantages over any other form of websites as it provides the straight forward and accurate answer to the user. It is far more beneficial to any user. They love to interact with these sites to get answer of their question. From the point of webmasters, he can easily earn great revenue from these websites. When you think about its maintenance then you have not to worry about the content of websites as users always ask and answer question which lead to the generation of fresh content always for the search engine. From search engine point of view also it is great. Let user to share their feeling of question and answer. Give them a platform to share all their feeling.

To make question answer website you need question answer script. It is very easy to make and manage. This takes a very well care of user. Websites made with in this format really earn a lot. This leads in the demand of question answer script which is exactly a yahoo answer clone. It provides the same flexibility and usability like yahoo answer and wiki answers. You really don’t need to be technically so sound however you can run it efficiently. Just made the websites and rest will be done by user who ask questions and give answer.

Features of question answer script


* it is just alike the yahoo answer, you can say it as yahoo answer clone.

* Easy to install.

* Search engine friendly URL of question and answer separately containing respective unique Meta tags.

Web Development And The Big Time Out

by: Scott Lindsay

One of the great debilitators in online business is simply the perceived (or real) lack of time. Business owners are used to moving forward. An online web presence can make them feel tied to an office chair learning skills they aren’t sure they want to know.

It’s not uncommon for those who deal in full time web design to have individuals contact them for a site design, but have absolutely no idea what they want. Furthermore when the designer questions them the response might be, “I don’t know, just make it look nice.”

Let’s not forget the core values or mission of the business. Many business owners have no idea how to answer those kinds of questions. They may stare blankly for a moment or two and there’s no more time for further deep thought so they go back to action – without answers.

In many cases it is possible to answer some of the questions needed, but it may require taking time away from a familiar setting. It may also require more time than you think you want to give.

If you can get to a place of concentrated contemplation you are likely to find yourself stripping ideas to their core to find out what your business is trying to accomplish and what your ultimate goals might be.

As with almost any project you can turn frustration around if you will just take the time to come to terms with your vision.

Sometimes we spend so much time ‘doing’ we never stop to ask the question, “Why?”

This process can be a bit like taking a bus that drives around the park. You keep looking at the flowers and the park bench and long to sit in the quiet shade of a tree and just absorb the calming atmosphere. You know they will have a positive effect on you, but for some reason you just can’t seem to find the energy to get off the bus.

It seems to me there are some sites that are misguided or rarely guided that could benefit from the process of self-evaluation. These sites may look nice, but there is a sense of disconnection that may not be easy to identify, but it’s fairly obvious to visitors.

Creative energy is at a minimum while business owners simply tackle what seem to be the most urgent details.

As more people gravitate to online business there needs to be a shift in the thinking of how one goes about doing business online. In many ways it can’t be approached in the same way a traditional business is developed, yet that is typically the way many new web commerce ventures choose to tackle the subject.

You may discover your business will be more successful if you take some time for rigorous reflection. The time set aside can be a bit like an architect that takes the time to develop plans for a new building. You wouldn’t expect the architect to simply tell a construction crew to, “Go out there and build – something.”

Work at ‘building’ your online business in a comprehensive way. Your effort can develop a firm foundation for long-term success.

Do The Media Spread Computer Viruses?

by: Joel Walsh

Summary: Could the mass media hype about computer viruses actually make the problem worse?

If you believe what you hear in the media, there are an awful lot of viruses going around. No, I'm not talking about the make-you-sick kind of virus, though they get plenty of airtime, too. I'm talking about the kind of virus that enters via your internet connection rather than your nasal passages.

What the mainstream media often don't tell you--at least, in most radio and television newscasts and in the crucial headlines and opening paragraphs of newspaper articles-- is that many of these "viruses" are not viruses at all.

What Computer Viruses Really Are

The main reason the mainstream media always are in alarm over viruses is that they tend to call any malicious computer program a virus. In reality, there are at least eleven distinct types of malicious software, or malware, commonly affecting computers today. The most common of these are worms, Trojans, and spyware.

So, what's the difference between computer viruses and the other types of malware? The difference is that computer viruses are just about the only ones that regularly shut down computers and cause other obvious damage. The most common of the other kinds of malware--worms, Trojans, and spyware--are usually only detectable with a special scan.

The Real Danger of Computer Viruses

If the other types of malware are so unobtrusive that they can only be detected with a special scan, then what's to worry about? For starters, these programs are called malicious for a reason: they are designed to cause some kind of damage, if not to your computer, then to someone else's.

Worms are most famously used to damage, destroy, or disrupt other computer networks than the one on which the host computer is located. For instance, worms have been used by website owners to shut down rival websites by sending overwhelming numbers of requests to the computer that hosts that website. Worms have also been used to send out viruses to other computers, often without infecting the host machine--after all, what would it benefit the worm to shut down its host computer?

Trojans, in turn, are often used to insert worms and other malware on your computer, even if the Trojan itself does no damage.

But even if you don't care what happens to anyone else, you should still be concerned about one kind of malware: spyware, a kind of malware that, true to its name, collects data from your computer and sends it back to a remote host.

Most spyware is only interested in monitoring your internet usage so it can tell other programs, called adware, what advertising to popup on your computer. However, there are criminal spyware programs that steal financial data, or perform a thorough identity theft. Don't think you have personal or financial data on your computer? Some spyware programs contain a keylogger, which is a program that copies whatever you type, usually in order to snatch passwords. Even if you keep no financial information on your computer, if you ever buy anything over the web, the keylogger would allow its owner to buy stuff using the same information you typed in to buy stuff yourself.

Why Blame the Media?

Given the danger of all these different types of malware, isn't it a good thing that the mass media are becoming hysterical about it? And can't they be forgiven the sloppy reporting of calling Trojans, worms, spyware, and other malware "viruses"?

No, no, no.

This is a classic case of bad reporting doing more damage than no reporting at all. In this case, the damage bad reporting has done is to promote a common myth that goes something like this: "The only malicious software is a virus. Viruses damage your computer. Therefore, if my computer is working OK, my computer has no malicious software. I only need to scan my computer for problems when there is a sign of problems."

Thanks to this myth, many people complacently let their antivirus software go months out of date, not wanting to be bothered with scheduling an automatic update. Just as bad, many people don't have any extra software to combat the other types of malware that may not be covered by antivirus software.

In fact, it's not uncommon for people who have found malware on their computers after a scan to say, "but I never had malware on my computer before!" But how would they have known if they had never scanned!

Until the biggest mainstream media--and especially television--start educating the public about the need to have their computers automatically scanned at least daily, the world will continue to have major, drawn-out problems with malware that could have been wiped out as soon as soon as the anti-malware software makers discovered it.

And until that day, the mainstream media will have many more opportunities to run hysterical stories about "viruses," thereby forcing them to sell more newspapers and broadcast to even larger audiences of people who suck at the information trough yet somehow never become full.

Optimizing C# Application

7 Ways To Optimize C# Code

Code optimization is an important aspect of writing an efficient C# application. The following tips will help you increase the speed and efficiency of your C# code and applications.
1. Knowing when to use StringBuilder

You must have heard before that a StringBuilder object is much faster at appending strings together than normal string types.

The thing is StringBuilder is faster mostly with big strings. This means if you have a loop that will add to a single string for many iterations then a StringBuilder class is definitely much faster than a string type.

However if you just want to append something to a string a single time then a StringBuilder class is overkill. A simple string type variable in this case improves on resources use and readability of the C# source code.

Simply choosing correctly between StringBuilder objects and string types you can optimize your code.
2. Comparing Non-Case-Sensitive Strings

In an application sometimes it is necessary to compare two string variables, ignoring the cases. The tempting and traditionally approach is to convert both strings to all lower case or all upper case and then compare them, like such:

str1.ToLower() == str2.ToLower()

However repetitively calling the function ToLower() is a bottleneck in performace. By instead using the built-in string.Compare() function you can increase the speed of your applications.

To check if two strings are equal ignoring case would look like this:

string.Compare(str1, str2, true) == 0 //Ignoring cases

The C# string.Compare function returns an integer that is equal to 0 when the two strings are equal.
3. Use string.Empty

This is not so much a performance improvement as it is a readability improvement, but it still counts as code optimization. Try to replace lines like:

if (str == "")

with:

if (str == string.Empty)

This is simply better programming practice and has no negative impact on performance.

Note, there is a popular practice that checking a string's length to be 0 is faster than comparing it to an empty string. While that might have been true once it is no longer a significant performance improvement. Instead stick with string.Empty.
4. Replace ArrayList with List<>

ArrayList are useful when storing multiple types of objects within the same list. However if you are keeping the same type of variables in one ArrayList, you can gain a performance boost by using List<> objects instead.

Take the following ArrayList:

ArrayList intList = new ArrayList();
intList.add(10);
return (int)intList[0] + 20;

Notice it only contains intergers. Using the List<> class is a lot better. To convert it to a typed List, only the variable types need to be changed:

List intList = new List();

intList.add(10)

return intList[0] + 20;

There is no need to cast types with List<>. The performance increase can be especially significant with primitive data types like integers.
5. Use && and || operators

When building if statements, simply make sure to use the double-and notation (&&) and/or the double-or notation (||), (in Visual Basic they are AndAlso and OrElse).

If statements that use & and | must check every part of the statement and then apply the "and" or "or". On the other hand, && and || go thourgh the statements one at a time and stop as soon as the condition has either been met or not met.

Executing less code is always a performace benefit but it also can avoid run-time errors, consider the following C# code:

if (object1 != null && object1.runMethod())

If object1 is null, with the && operator, object1.runMethod()will not execute. If the && operator is replaced with &, object1.runMethod() will run even if object1 is already known to be null, causing an exception.
6. Smart Try-Catch

Try-Catch statements are meant to catch exceptions that are beyond the programmers control, such as connecting to the web or a device for example. Using a try statement to keep code "simple" instead of using if statements to avoid error-prone calls makes code incredibly slower. Restructure your source code to require less try statements.
7. Replace Divisions

C# is relatively slow when it comes to division operations. One alternative is to replace divisions with a multiplication-shift operation to further optimize C#. The article explains in detail how to make the conversion.
Conclusion

As you can see these are very simple C# code optimizations and yet they can have a powerful impact on the performance of your application. To test out the optimizations, try out the free Optimizing Utility.
Profiling

An important concept when it comes to increasing the speed and efficiency of you C# code, is code profiling. A good profiler can not only let you know about the speed bottlenecks in your applications, but it can also help you with memory management. The best .Net profiler is probably RedGates ANTS Profiler.

Testing C# Code Performance Speed

Programming with C#, as in a lot of languages, gives an infinite amount of ways to write applications. All the different programming pratices can vary your application's speed and efficiency. Determening which coding techniques are faster is an essential skill.

The algorithm to test out fast and efficient C# source code run is:

-> Initialize variables needed

-> Declare a System.Diagonistic.StopWatch varible.

-> Include this line before starting the test: [StopWatch variable].Start();

-> Setup a for loop with the code to be tested inside

-> The amount of trials should be set up in such a way that the total execute time lasts an appropriate duration

-> Execute this line to stop the StopWatch: [StopWatch variable].Stop();

-> Initialize a new TimeSpan variable with: TimeSpan span = new TimeSpan([StopWatch variable].ElapsedTicks);

-> The span variable has the amount of time the source took to run

An optional part is to divide the time it took to execute the C# code and divide it by the amount of times the for loop ran. Giving you the average time per call.

I myself like to compare the total execution time because it has less chance of variation in the results.

Often the first time the code is run the source code will run slower than normal, so try to run several tests and average out the results.

Additionally I recommend to test source code from within Visual Studio since source code that runs with the debugger runs a bit slower. Creating a nicer window of time to compare different snippets of source code.

Remember that the optimized Release version of your program will be optimized by the compiler (inline code and such) and will almost always run faster than the debug version.

How to Choose From Viewstate, Session, Application, Cache, and Cookies

Problem with Web Applications

Web Applications are natively statesless, means once a web page renders from server to client, nothing remains on server and the next time user submits the page you have to load all values and create the page again.

ASP.NET provides multiple simple solutions to this problems like:

* Viewstate
* Session Variables
* Application Variables
* Cache
* Cookies

Now the question arises that when to use what?

1- Viewstate

Viewstate is a hidden fields in an ASP.NET page, contains state of those controls on a page whose "EnableViewstate" property is "true".

You can also explicitly add values in it, on an ASP.NET page like:

Viewstate.Add( "TotalStudents", "87" );

Viewstate should be used when you want to save a value between diferent roundtrips of a single page as viewstate of a page is not accessible by another page.

Because Viewstate renders with the page, it consumes bandwith, so be careful to use it in applications to be run on low bandwith.

2- Session Variable

Session variables are usually the most commonly used.

When a user visits a site, it's sessions starts and when the user become idle or leave the site, the session ends.

Session variables should be used to save and retrive user specefic information required on multiple pages.

Session variables consumes server memory, so if your may have a huge amount visiters, use session very carefully and instead of put large values in it try to put IDs and references

3- Application variables

Application variables are shared variables among all users of a web application

Application variables behave like static variables and they are substitute of static variables as static variables are stateless in web applications

Only shared values should be persisted in Application variables, and as soon as they are not in use they should be removed explicitly.

4- Cache

Cache is probably the least used state feature of ASP.NET.

Cache is basically a resource specific state persistence feature, means unlike session it stick with resource instead of user, for instance: pages, controls etc.

Cache should be used or frequently used pages, controls, and data structures

Data cache can be used to cache frequently used list of values e.g. list of products

6- Cookies

Cookies are some values saved in browsers by the website to retrivbbe and use afterwards.

Usually cookies are used to help dynamic websites to identify visitors and retrieve their saved preferences.

Cookies are also used to facilitate auto login by persisting user id in a cookie save in user's browser.

Because cookies have been saved at client side, they do not create performance issues but may create security issues as they can be hacked from browser.

Finally remember the following points on your finger-tips:

* Viewstate is bandwidth hungry

* Session variables are memory hungry as per number of users

* Applications variables are shared

* Cache is memory hungry as per number of resources

* Cookies are the least secure

Visions in Online Crystal Ball: is Silverlight™ 2.0 - “the Next Big Thing”?

The Holy War has begun. Forums and blogs are full of flames on «Ajax™ vs Flash™ vs Silverlight™ vs JavaFX™». Currently it is obvious that in the near future SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) application distribution model will capture considerable part of both corporate market and home users sphere. It is estimated that about 25% of corporate applications will be distributed as SaaS by 2011. I won’t go into detail of advantages of this distribution model, as there are many publications on this topic. It is enough to say that SaaS applications don’t require installation on client computers. As a result only provider should take care of application setup, management and maintenance; this helps dramatically scrimp on software licensing and save considerable sum on hardware and IT personnel.

The RIA (Rich Internet Application) term is tightly connected to SaaS. Unlike traditional Web applications, RIAs obtain functionality that can be compared with features of complete desktop applications, but they have all advantages of Internet applications. Ease of deployment and maintenance are the most important ones.

There are no doubts in promising future of RIA, but it is not clear what software platforms will make it come true. Main challengers are Adobe Flash™, Microsoft Silverlight™ and Sun JavaFX™.

Before I start trying to persuade you that Silverlight™ is a favourite in this race and someone throws rotten eggs or tomatoes at me, let me make some remarks.

1. I place a considerable stake. I risk with my money when I talk of the best RIA platform. All free resources and energies of my small company are directed to design new product line for Silverlight™. If I am mistaken, this mistake won’t be fatal, but it will strongly hurt my financial situation.

2. Microsoft® doesn’t pay me for advertisement. I don’t feel religious commitment to its products, I am not a Microsoft fan, especially after I upgraded to Windows Vista. I don’t like a lot of things about Microsoft® and its products. If anyone asked me, I would prefer Silverlight™ to be developed by some small and yang company. But no one asked me.

Then why Silverlight™? It’s simple: Silverlight™ appeared at the right place and time, with the required functionality and outmarkets competitors. So, let consider all of these items.

…at the right time…

Statements on forthcoming triumphant progress of Internet applications are made with enviable regularity for long time, but only at the moment evolution of the corresponding infrastructure achieved “critical mass” that allows realization of their potential. The most important thing is availability of broadband channels all over the world and dramatic increase of computing power of client systems starting from desktop computers and ending with smartphones and communicators. The last factor makes it possible to run client even on mobile devices.

Moreover, it should be noted that SaaS model is more and more trusted. Improved audit of SaaS providers that guarantees confidentiality of the information entered into the system and high reliability of its work contributes to growing trust to SaaS model. Hardware equipment of the companies became more diverse; this relates to both used processor architecture and operating systems. As a result, cross platform support is the obligatory requirement for corporate applications. This limits area of desktop applications and opens up floodgates of RIA. Besides that, the amount of mobile employees whose critical requirement is availability of access to corporate system form any place in the world has increased.

Development of the platform from scratch right before RIA boom helps Microsoft® be more relevant to market demand in comparison with competing products that bring inherited limitations collected for 10 years of evolution.

…at the right place…

Even the best platform won’t cost a cent without appropriate promotion.

It is proved that Microsoft® firmly controls desktop operating system market. And this will help to overcome the main barrier – distribution of a browser plug-in executing applications. Most Windows users even won’t notice that they happily obtain the latest Silverlight™ edition, as plug-in will install during auto update or when the application runs for the first time. Microsoft’s ability to communicate with content providers also plays its role. Even today many players on media market announce their willingness to use Silverlight™ as base for the Internet projects. The most famous project is the official site of The Olympic Games that uses media features of Silverlight™.

But the most important role is played by the huge community of .Net developers who know all development tools that are used to design Silverlight applications.

…with the required functionality…

Silverlight™ is based on a special edition of .Net Framework. .Net Framework subset that is a part of a platform makes it possible to write high-performance code using the most up-to-date programming languages (such as C# and VB.NET) and the most powerful library of built-in classes. You even won’t sacrifice security, as system won’t let you go beyond the “sandbox”.

The other important constituent of the platform is compatibility with the WPF technology. You will be able to use unique GUI system to design visual part of Internet applications. I should write a set of articles to describe all advantages of this technology. I will specify only the most important ones from my point of view. First of all, this is a unified object model for representing all types of graphic elements: bitmap or vector images, text, controls, video, supporting automatic layout on the form, arbitrary nesting of elements in each other and geometric transformation. Secondly, full-featured mechanism of separation of logic and visual representation via the data binding system, styles and templates allows developers and designers work independently over one and the same project.

And “small points”:

- full access to HTML DOM from Silverlight application and vice versa full access to Silverlight application objects from JavaScript code;

- ability to use dynamic script languages such as Python, Ruby and others;

- Deep Zoom technology also known as Sea Dragon making development of applications such as Google Earth a trivial task;

- ability to use LINQ (Language Integrated Query) to uniformly access all data source types including XML.

I just need to mention wide media and presentation features: built-in system of KeyFrames animation, set of graphic primitives, various fill types with semitransparency, playback of video and audio content including that of high resolution (to be honest, I not interested in the last item as a developer of business applications).

And finally, compatibility with the full version of .Net Framework helps you use all advantages of one of the most powerful IDEs at the moment – Visual Studio.Net to design and debug applications.

… outmarkets competitors. (Please, understand me correctly. By saying this, I mean competitors in the sphere of RIA creation. Silverlight™ won’t replace HTML to create websites, Flash™ to design animated graphics, etc.) So, let’s have a look at possible competitors.

Ajax™ is swept away immediately. (This is it, rotten tomatoes are thrown at me). Ajax™ technology is outdated, but the problem is that it became outdated long before it appeared. Just think that applications designed in the 80s of the last millennium worked faster and were more user-friendly. Creation of full-featured user interface using the means of text markup resembles pegging of square pegs in round holes. Ajax systems are distinguished by huge amount of working hours required for their creation, low speed of work, primitive user interface and low reliability. Plus problems with browser compatibility.

I should admit that there are quite a good number of happy exceptions. There are developers showing miracles of ingenuity and creating really powerful and functional applications, but they are in the minority. I agree that Ajax™ will remain the only way to create applications that work on all platforms for a long time, but it is not bright future, it is a forced step connected to technology imperfection.

Flash™ is undoubtedly a wonderful tool to design animated and interactive graphics, but as any system evolving for a long time, it has a huge heritage complicating its use in RIA.

I doubt whether it is possible to seriously compare ActionScript features with abilities of .Net languages. The GUI object model loses out to the Silverlight model. Flash™ supports only frame-by-frame animation that is not so flexible as KeyFrames model. Plus lower performance, use of proprietary formats to code audio and video content. All is worsen by very complicated binary swf file format that makes it difficult to write third party utilities and tools.

Svg technology that didn’t establish a big presence, to my deep regret, is oriented at the design of animated graphic content and doesn’t provide powerful tools to create applications.

JavaFX™ is some kind of reincarnation of the well-known JavaApplets technology. JavaApplets exists for 13 (!) years already and allows developers to design powerful Internet applications. Java loses not much out to C#. In spite of the fact that execution environment, GUI, libraries are not so flexible as Silverlight™, they help create full-featured applications. Platform contains full-fledged libraries of classes that help efficiently solve even the most complicated tasks. It seems that Java™ is the real leader. But even over this period the technology is not dramatically popular. Java vendor – Sun Corporation was not able or didn’t want to eliminate obvious disadvantages of the system. Most complaints are related to low system performance, clod start and incompatibility of different versions of the Java runtime environment. I don’t get deep knowledge of Java, but the fact is that Java is used as a RIA basis rarely and I doubt that Sun will be able to influence situation in the near future.

Summary

Everyone including old people and expectant mothers should learn Silverlight™. – (joke)

Silverlight™ has quite a good chance to become the most popular platform for designing Internet applications. If you have anything to do with the Internet industry, you should pay attention to Silverlight™. If you are a .Net developer, knowledge of Silverlight™ will be just essential in the near future.

7 Best Tips to Find Programmer When You Outsource Your Project

Are you looking for Dot Net or PHP or Java programmers for your next projects?
Are you thinking to outsource your project and looking for real good programmers?

Being the CEO of the outsourcing company (Infotrex Services), I have very good
experience of hiring many programmers by myself & I would like to share some tips
so that you can hire the best programmer.

Developers are easy to find, but people who understand what you're trying to do and are
fanatically committed to do things better isn't.

Every few days, I talk to clients who outsourced development work and they are not happy with their programmers or the company they deal with. So when we work with these kind of clients,
I make sure that the communication channel is always live and our developers are super sharp
to understand the requirements & work on it. Our focus isn't on technology as much as it is on our problem solving attitude. We're not the biggest, we're not the cheapest, and we aren't rocket scientists - we just get things done by pushing ourselves to get the best solution for our clients.

Anyway, long story short here - hiring developers when you outsource the project is a headache.
Here are some tips for you:

1. Define the Job description, skill-set & approximate years of experience of a desired programmer

To accomplish this, you need to have someone expert who can define this for you.
Do not ask to your friends or try to answer by yourself. Get professional help.
You can ask this directly to CEOs of outsource companies(like us!!!). Many of
our clients don't really ask and we suggest that they ask this to us and get real answer.

2. Ask for a brief resume of the programmer
After finishing this first criteria, next best step is to ask for some relevant experience.
This part is tricky one. Some programmers are smart enough and try to fool you by saying
that they can provide you everything which you want and even show you some fake projects work.
Again, get some professional help to get out of this trap. Remember the old saying - All glitter is not gold.

3. Have Some problem sets for testing
It is better to have a small problem sets available, which you can give it to the programmer.
Ask for the logic to solve the problem and if time permits, ask the programmer to even implement the logic and give you test solution. This is the most difficult part and requires
lots of preparation beforehand.

4. Solve the problem for long-term, not short-term
If you are not a fly by night person or a company, and then go for a long term solution.
It means - for your programming needs, do all 3 activities mentioned here and try
to establish the relationship with a programmer or a company for long term.

5. Hourly rate is an illusion game when you keep bargaining
For example, there are 2 programmers. Programmer A is having 2 years of experience and hourly rate is: 20$ per hour. Programmer B is having 1 year of experience and the rate is: 10$ per hour. If you just look for the hourly rate, then choosing the lower is not always good for you.

Now, for particular project work, programmer A will give you 1 hour estimate and for same work programmer B will give you estimate of 3 hours. Just do the math and you will know that programmer A will be cost effective eventually.

Another case: If you bargain with programmer A and tell him to lower the rate, for example 15$ per hour. Once the programmer agree for it, and for same work of 1 hour, if he estimate 2 hours of work at 15$ rate. Again, same thing. Don't bargain too much. You always have to pay higher for more experience.

6. Seek some genuine advice & research experience

if you have short listed candidates by following all above points; try to find a real genius.
It’s always good to work with genuine people who really love to add value to their client's
business by giving some neutral advice & by doing little research. Ask some dumb questions
to programmers and see how they answer you. This point will make a long term impact on your business. So, don't neglect to check this point.

Php and Mysql Programming Security

Choosing php and mysql as programming language for a website is not enough. With open source coding being one of the inherent properties of php mysql development, securing your codes becomes essential. So when one allows the users to upload files on the website, then security is definitely at stake.

PHP Programming Protection

While it is not entirely possible to protect your site, yet there are few precautions that you can incorporate for better protection of PHP programming. Some of these are:

• You should check the referrer, for being sure that the information sent is from your website and not an outside source. Since, there are maximum chances of the information being fake.

• Restriction of the type of extension files being uploaded on the website is yet another method of security check.

• Renaming files is another way in which the program can be secured. This procedure involves the checking of double-barreld extensions like yourfile.php.gif.

• Changing the permission command for the upload folder so that files within it are not executable.

• All the alterations created by the user should be allowed only when they ‘Login’ into the database. On the other hand the owner of the site should always keep a close watch on all files being uploaded and then make them live.

Mysql Programming Security

Another aspect in php and mysql web development is the protection of the mysql libraries. Therefore, the most important aspect involved in protecting the mysql program is the security of the entire server host.

Securing MySQL is very essential for the smooth running of the website. This is based on Access Control Lists and SSL-encrypted connections, for protecting the php mysql web development program from random users visiting the website.

Some of the vital things to be considered for online site protection are:

• Accessing of the mysql database should not be allowed for any and everyone.

• Privileges to the users should always be accompanied with some restriction. If one can easily connect to the server without any ‘login’ then the security level code of the MySQL server should be rechecked.

• The MySQL database should be void of plain-text passwords. Use programs like MD5 (), SHA1(), or some hashing function for complete protection.

• Do not choose passwords from dictionaries, since they can be hacked easily. Use programs that break the passwords.

Therefore, the successful development of a website through php and mysql web development is complete only when the site owner consults a professional programmer. They expertise in the optimization of the MySql hosting database. This program is dynamic in nature and is an effective tool in the creation of browser-based applications.

Java Sockets - You Just Got to Plug Them in

I realised that programming in Java is quite a fun only after doing it myself. You will be amazed to know that it's like putting different pieces of puzzle together. You put them relatively in an integrated and coherent manner. The Beauty of it is, that most of the times you dont have to create these pieces yourself. You just customize them according to your need after you get them from an already defined java class or package. It was about programming, now lets talk sumthing about sockets.

Socket is used to establish a point-to-point, bidirectional connection between two entities in a network. Just like a real world socket, it is used to plugin a connection from another source. The connection can be incoming or outgoing or both. Similar is the case at the other end. To understand these sockets properly, you need to learn a bit about Operating System and its Networking Protocols. Sockets are basically of three types: 1)UNIX Domain Sockets; 2) Internet Domain Sockets; 3) NS domain Sockets.

Java being platform independent Programming language, supports only Internet Domain Sockets as only they are platform independent out of three. These internet domain sockets are distinguished on the basis of Internet protocol they work on...

1) TCP/IP(Transfer Control Protocol): The data transfer is reliable, in-order,connection oriented, so takes connection establishment time before the actual data transfer takes place. Sockets based on TCP/IP are known as Stream Sockets.

2) UDP(User Datagram Protocol): It is connectionless,unrealiable and unordered data transfer protocol. Each packet in it has a destination address associated with it and is realeased into the network to make its own way. The sockets based on UDP are called Datagram Sockets.

3) Raw IP: It is a non-formatted protocol. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP protocols, Raw IP is not a core protocol of IP Suite. It's different from them as its used to receive header information of the packet along with data, which is not the case in TCP/IP, UDP, they just receive data.

In Java Sockets are mainly implemented from already defined classes and pakages. These are:

1) Java.net.package: It contains all the classes that a user require to create a network based application. The below mentioned classes namely ServerSocket and Socket are also its part. This package also contain classes to create Secure Sockets and to connect a Web Server.

2) ServerSocket Class: It Provides sockets for the Server side.These sockets monitor network for requests or simply waits for them. When such request arrives, a server socket performs assigned task based on the request.

3) Socket Class: This class provides the Client side sockets. These sockets connect to the server, send and receive data for the client.

Remember, no socket can work without a port which is identified by a port no. Port is a gateway to a socket connectivity which is on the both sides of network. A socket is mainly identified as per its ports.

What to Look for in a Hyper-effective Team of J2ee Developers

J2EE may be free open-source and, in the hands of the right developer, a powerful platform for multi-tier, Web-based applications. But easy it is not. Given technology that sees some new development practically every month, how do you find and screen highly effective J2EE developers?

Whether hiring for an in-house IT group or looking to outsource to an independent applications provider, the first step is to have a Java Architect working for you, not just a first-line, order-taker J2EE developer. This means broadminded thinkers who understand your business need, can conceptualize all the system components you need, and direct the J2EE developer team to ably link backend databases and servers, middleware and presentation layers.

At a software house like HyTech Professionals up in Nashua (NH), J2EE developers need not dazzle the unwary client with a blizzard of acronyms. An end-user organization gets much more comfortable learning from these quietly competent HyTech folks (www.hytechpro.com) about their completed Java systems integration work and end-to-end implementation of mission-critical J2EE applications.

For now, some parting advice: look askance at any J2EE developer still mired in pre-2005 technology like Enterprise Java Beans. Applications built solely with EJB are so irritatingly intrusive, hard to test and force such illogical design decisions. This is why a team of Java developers already comfortable with the Spring and Hibernate frameworks will be more likely to deliver what you want on time and under budget.

Because your time and money are valuable, you deserve a solutions orientated software development firm that can deliver high quality solutions on time for a great price. Our distinct selling point is the ability to convert our client’s vision into a cost effective and efficient business solution. We believe our unique approach to offshore outsourcing combines significant cost benefits with lower risks and higher levels of customer service.

* HyTech Professionals is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and ISO 9001 Certified software engineering services company, delivering top quality results on which our clients can depend.

* We have U.S.-based project managers to ensure that the risks associated with offshore outsourcing are minimized, and accountability is increased. You do not have to worry about issues like cultural differences, time differences, communication gaps, etc

* As an employee owned IT firm, all of our staff are committed to helping our clients succeed. Our people are our greatest assets, and as such, we invest heavily in training, our internal mentorship program, and MS/ISO certification. Our programmers bring years of software development experience, domain expertise, and a desire to help you succeed in your business goal.

staff equipped with the latest technologies and secured systems.

* We strive to build long-term relationships with our clients. HyTech Professionals nurtures a company culture of helping our clients beyond expectations, even when we have to go that extra mile.

Software Implement for Blogging!

The first factor to remember is just how many blogs there are these days. This means you need to stand out from the crowd and offer something new and fascinating.

Secondly, most internet users are time-poor, in other words you need to grab their concentration as soon as they arrive at your blog and show them enough interesting, significant content that they stick around and have a read. Also, you hope, they will keep coming back for more.

Finally is the factor of "link bait" to consider. In the blogosphere, a particularly interesting or note worthy blog post will rapidly attract links from other bloggers as well as the social bookmarking networks like Digg and Reddit.

So let's look at these three factors in combination. You want to stand out from the crowd, you want to make it easy for first-time visitors to your blog to find your very best posts and you also want to maximize the chances of these posts getting links from other websites. For more details go to www.text2speech-converter.com. In short, this means you need to be ruthless. You need to work hard on making a small number of posts that are so good you could charge money for them. These are your link bait pieces and the posts that really can make your name.

Because let's be honest, on any blog there are posts that only fall into the "acceptable" category. Not everything you write is excellent. In fact quite the reverse is true in my experience. Most blogs consist of 90% average posts, with maybe 5% rubbish and 5% gems.

It's those gems you want people to be able to find as quickly and easily as is humanly possible, and the way to do this, of course, is by giving a list of your best posts nice and clearly at the top for your blog.

Sometimes these are posts that you identify; other bloggers let their readers decide on what the top posts are but either way you've got to have this feature enabled on your blog.

So how to implement the Top Posts area?

Well you could of course just manually add them to your navigation bar. Just stick them near the top and manually hyperlink them to the individual posts.

If you're using Wordpress, the most popular blogging software at present, you could add a new category to your links and call it "Top Posts" then add in your top 5-10 posts.

Or debatably the best, shiniest and most remarkable solution is to use one of the top posts Wordpress plugins currently available free of charge.

Popularity Contest - this plug in allows your visitors to vote on your content showing which are the most popular on your site. For more information login to www.software-designers-pro.com. You can then just add a few lines of code to whatever Wordpress theme you're using and those posts voted as most popular by your visitors will be shown.

Top Posts By Category - very similar to the above plugin except this one looks at the category level.

These are of course just a tiny selection of the options available so feel free to take a look around, try a few on your blog and see which you like best.

Software Reseller Tips For Growing a Stable Business

Are you a computer consultant that breaks out in hives when you think about being a software reseller? You might be confusing the low-margin sales of desktop PC's, notebooks, or servers with actually integrating software and other products into comprehensive business solutions for small businesses. If you plan carefully, you can profit from your clients' need for full-service support from their software reseller.

The following 3 tips can help you learn how to incorporate being a software reseller into your more profitable IT services business and attract great clients.

1. Embrace Your Role as a Technology Influencer. An IT consultant that also acts as a software reseller knows that smart selection of products can make installation, support, troubleshooting and upgrading work a breeze. Choosing the right software for systems can dramatically boost system reliability, which helps keep your valued clients happy. If you rely on someone else to choose software, you increase the chances of your solutions being less effective. When software acts up or is incompatible with existing hardware, clients get really frustrated and might actually end up blaming you for problems. As a software reseller, you can enhance the overall solution you bring to clients and give them a single point of contact. This in turn eliminates frustration and nurtures trusting, long-term relationships.
2. Pay Attention to New Advances in Technology ... But Be Wary! There will always be new software and hardware on the horizon, but that doesn't mean you have to jump to incorporate all of it into your small business clients' solutions just because you want to stay up to date. A successful small business software reseller keeps an eye on new products for clients, but is always mindful of overall solutions and what will work best and most cost effectively. You can't let your love for new gadgets and bleeding-edge technology get in the way of responding to client needs.
3. Know Where the Real Profit Opportunities Are for a Software Reseller. IT consultants do have a big opportunity for profit from software sales, but often not in the actual profit margins of the software applications themselves. Software resellers are successful when they act as their clients' primary technology influencers. If you are going to add software sales to your repertoire, you need to not think of yourself as a purveyor of products, but rather as a professional that will recommend what to buy based on end-to-end small business solutions.

In this short article, we looked at 3 tips to help you build a steady client base.

Method to Track Employee Time

This type of time management is essential to keep track of what employees are working on as well as for keeping a record of the billing process to outside employees. Employers use a time management system so that they can keep track of the time and attendance of their employees. There are several different types of software on the market that can log employee time with “online timesheet” tools that will keep track of the time that employees work.

If an employee is working on several projects at once the company will want to use time tracking software so that there is a record of time spent on each job. Software is available, such as a time recorder, that allows the employee to start tracking when they begin working on a project, and when they cease the work to move on to a new project. This type of software is great for the time management that is needed when it comes to billing clients and keeping them up to date with the progress of their project.

Time management is important for the successful running of any company, no matter what the size. With so many software tools on the market today there is no reason why any company shouldn’t be taking advantage of these types of functional methods of tracking time and employees. Most companies that have computer usage in their offices will want to keep track of the comings and goings of their employees and monitor what they are doing on the computer when working on client projects. Time and attendance is a big issue for large companies that lose time when employees have a lax attitude toward the time they spend at the job. There is software on the market that will let the employer know exactly what time the employee logs in, how much time he spends on each project, and what time he logs off to go home. This information is critical in the running of any large company.

Labor Time Tracker is a smarter, easier and faster way to track employee time for payroll and job costing. Our web-based time clock system is totally optimized for the web (unlike typical client/server technology). As a result, our system is fast and very easy to use. Labor Time Tracker is an internet-based employee productivity application that represents essential and evolutionary technology that dramatically improves the way organizations manage their workforce. It has been focused on internet-base Time & Attendance, Timesheets, HR Benefits, Expenses, Payroll, Self services and other Human Resource application.

Labor Time Tracker Features:
• We can create account may have from 1 to 10,000+ employees
• Supports all US and International times zones
• Post notice to an individual employee or to whole group
• Punch from any cell or land line phone
• Prevents employee from punching outside schedule
• Automatically deducts lunch minutes from a timecard
