Web-content-management system
by kawaldeep on Jul.30, 2009, under Gadgets
A web-content-management system (WCMS or Web CMS) is content management system (CMS) software, usually implemented as a Web application, for creating and managing HTML content. It is use to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images). A WCMS facilitates content creation, content control, editing, and many essential Web maintenance functions.Usually the software provides authoring (and other) tools designed to allow users with little or no knowledge of programming languages or markup languages to generate and handle content with relative ease of use.
Most systems use a database to store content, metadata, and/or artifacts that might be needed by the system. Content is frequently, but not universally, stored as XML, to facilitate reuse and facilitate flexible presentation options
A presentation layer displays the content to regular Web-site visitors based on a set of templates. The templates are sometimes XSLT files.
Capabilities
A WCMS is a software system used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents, images and extra forms of media). A CMS facilitates document control, auditing, editing, and timeline management. A WCMS provides the following key features:
Automated templates
Create standard output templates (usually HTML and XML) that can be automatically applied to new and existing content, allowing the appearance of all content to be tainted from one central place.
Easily editable content
Once content is separated from the visual presentation of a site, it usually becomes much easier and quicker to edit and manipulate. Most WCMS software includes WYSIWYG editing tools allowing non-technical individuals to create and edit content.
Scalable feature sets
Most WCMS software includes plug-ins or modules that can be easily installed to expand an existing site’s functionality.
Web standards upgrades
Active WCMS software usually receives regular updates that include new feature sets and keep the system up to current web standards.
Workflow management
Workflow is the process of creating cycles of sequential and parallel tasks that must be accomplished in the CMS. For example, a content creator can submit a story, but it is not published pending the copy editor cleans it up and the editor-in-chief approves it.
Delegation
Some CMS software allows for various user groups to have limited privileges over specific content on the website, spreading out the responsibility of content management.
Document management
CMS software may provide a means of managing the life cycle of a document from initial creation time, during revisions, publication, archive, and document destruction.
Content virtualization
CMS software may provide a means of allowing each user to work within a virtual copy of the entire Web site, document set, and/or code base. This enables changes to multiple interdependent resources to be viewed and/or executed in-context prior to submission.
Types
by kawaldeep on Jul.30, 2009, under Latest Web Technologies
There are three major types of WCMS: offline processing, online processing, and hybrid systems. These terms describe the deployment pattern for the WCMS in language of when presentation templates are applied to render Web pages from structured content.
Offline processing
These systems pre-process all content, applying templates before publication to generate Web pages. Vignette CMS and Bricolage are examples of this type of system. Since pre-processing systems do not require a server to concern the templates at request time, they may also exist purely as design-time tools; Adobe Contribute and CushyCMS are examples of this approach.
Online processing
These systems apply templates on-demand. HTML may be generated when a user visits the page, or pulled from a cache. Hosted CMSs are provided by such SaaS developers as Clickability, Bravenet, Squarespace, UcoZ, Webs and Crownpeak.
Some of the better known open source systems that produce pages on demand include WebGUI, Concrete5, Mambo, Joomla and Drupal.
Most open source WCMs have the capability to support add-ons, which provide extended capabilities including forums, web-stores, photo-galleries, contact-management etc. These are often called modules, nodes, widgets, add-ons or extensions. Add-ons may be based on an open-source or paid licence model.

Apple’s iPhone: Technology Product of the Year
by kawaldeep on Jul.10, 2009, under Gadgets
Wildly popular communication device could become a game-changing enterprise platform.
Oh, iPhone. Even typing your name feels trite at this point — but that’s exactly what makes you a perfect candidate for IndustryWeek’s IT Product of the Year for 2007.
Even for those who didn’t wait in line for days to buy one, there’s no doubt that by now, the tide of hype associated with Apple’s iPhone has washed up on your shores. Whether during the initial export barrage, the backlash over the $200 price drop, the “bricking” of many illegally modified iPhones by Apple, or the bombshell announcement of Apple’s reversal of position on third-party software development, this newest “must-have” device has been in the news since its launch six months ago.
Since its theatrical promotion nearly one year ago, the iPhone has motivated the kind of contentious cultural divide usually associated with significant icons or landmark events — i.e., you’re either sick to death of hearing about it (if so, read no further) or you can’t get enough of it — in which case, read on.
What is the iPhone? The iPhone is a pocket-sized Macintosh computer that uses an unique and intuitive touch-screen crossing point for surfing the web, scrolling through pictures and music, and making calls, sending text messages and emails. The ability of users to exactly let their fingers do the walking through the iPhone’s operating system, and even around the Internet, has been described by even the most jaded tech reporters as a “thrilling” experience.

Basics of HTML are not very difficult to learn. In order to create good web pages, HTML is the key thing to learn. In fact HTML is most frequently used tool for website designing.
HTML consists of some series of letters in the form of tags. These letters are abbreviations for anything they stand for. For example, heading is represented by H1 tag and BR stands for line break. Similarly there are tags for other purposes as well. You can even add some links or descriptions in between the text. There is a start tag and end tag for everything.

Custom software development
by kawaldeep on Jul.08, 2009, under Latest Web Technologies
Custom software development is a very vast and complicated field for the web developers for web design development solutions and web-enabled IT services. Developed countries on the other hand, like UK, are following a lucrative outsourcing policy which places them at the behest of enormously skilled technicians and developers along with a competitive IT infrastructure. This has led to a surge in the number of providers of IT development in the second most populated country in the world, i.e. India.
Most established businesses in western countries need solutions and there is no actual shortage of software outsourcing firms today. There are lots and lots of programming experts who are complicated in testing, development and different validation tests. Thousands of western countries and companies are harnessing outsourcing services for the execution of their projects. Even though IT development and outsourcing has increased manifold in India, people are still skeptical about the working and viability of custom software development in offshore centers.
With the choice of a software outsourcing company, a dedicated team of specialized consultants will assist you with outsourcing strategies which will suit the company’s needs and budget. They will develop competent software solutions and ensure that you avail the best services to enhance your productivity and maintain a competitive edge over your competitors in the market. The company can fix on on the size of the team working on a particular project. In fact, the size if the team of software professionals can be adjusted depending on the project requirement. The software outsourcing company will ensure that there is a smooth flow of communication and allow choice of a variety of engagement models which are tailor made and secure based on individual/company needs.
Software outsourcing in India has touched new heights as people from all over the world look up to India in the hour of the need. When it comes to software designing, India has the largest IT possessions and all the hottest techniques, which make them superior to every other country. It helps make our services hearty and trustworthy. Software outsourcing is popular because the professionals ensure suitable and secure software, which gives an aura to the IT sector of India, never witnessed by any other country. The professionals are all well trained in dealing with the all kinds or requirements of the business organizations including the personal, managerial and technological. They are trained well to meet out the deadline, so there are no chances of delay, in the delivery of your successfully running software.
Outsourcing has become very popular these days as it is cost helpful to any company.

This will give you the clear idea of the company’s past and present work record.
Multicore Software Development Kit
by kawaldeep on Jul.08, 2009, under Latest Web Technologies
Multicore architectures have become very popular. To take full advantage of such processor architectures, developers have to begin parallelism in their software. Developing parallel software is hard and error prone. Different types of tools to deal with concurrency related bugs are required to support the application development process.
The Multicore Software Development Kit (MSDK) for Java is a set of tools that developers can use to test, debug and analyze applications targeted for multicore hardware systems. These tools are capable of analyzing various concurrency related problems in the applications which take place due to different types of memory and synchronization errors. Also, the MSDK contains tools to do lock analysis and synchronization coverage analysis. Writing scalable and high-performance applications requires detailed analysis and profiling tools to help point out problem areas in the code. The MSDK provides tools to do profiling of all layers of the application execution stack.
How does it work?
The tools included in the Multicore SDK comprise of both static and dynamic analysis tools. The following are the set of tools included in MSDK V2.0:
Synchronization Coverage Analysis: A testing tool to figure out whether the different synchronization primitives used in the application code is doing something useful, or whether it is redundant. It is a dynamic tool which uses on-the-fly byte code rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
Orange Box Analysis: Useful for debugging program crashes. It provides the last few (configurable) read/write standards of variables by each thread. This is a dynamic analysis tool which uses on-the-fly byte code rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
Race Detection Tool: A debugging tool to detect data races in the application code. This is a dynamic analysis tool which uses on-the-fly byte code rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
Deadlock Detection Tool: A debugging tool to find deadlocks (and potential deadlocks) in the application code. This is a dynamic study tool that uses on-the-fly byte code rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
Lock Status Report: Very useful for debugging concurrent applications. It provides details about which thread holds, and which lock waits for a lock, and at what point in the code. This is a dynamic tool which uses on-the-fly byte code instrumentation.
MHP Analysis: A static analysis tool. It does a may-happen-in-parallel analysis and provides the statements that can implement in parallel. This analysis can be used in conjunction with the Race detector tool to reduce overheads and improve performance.
Performance Analysis Tool: A detailed performance analysis tool to figure out performance bottlenecks. It instruments the absolute application execution stack. Monitoring of the hardware performance counters, various system calls, operating system thread switches, various Java virtual machine functions and user application can be performed. Detailed profiling data can be visualized during application execution and can also be stored to do post-mortem analysis.
The Nokia’s latest flagship model N97
by kawaldeep on Jul.06, 2009, under Latest Web Technologies
The Nokia’s latest flagship model N97 is on the market long enough for us to draw some lines related to its features. First of all let’s pay attention to what it has to offer with the box that comes wrapped in: a phone case, a battery (BP-4L 1500mAh, charger and adapter, USB data cable, a kit of earphone-remote handsfree, Nokia Ovi Suite installer, warranty documents, and user’s manual, wipe cloth, and a detachable stylus).
After getting the unit out of its box you find the display covered with a sticker that has the “ovi.store.com” ad on it and you have to pay attention while removing as it is potential to take out the whole film that covers for protection the faceplate of the N97. It is only the Ovi sticker thing that you have to remove, not the whole protection film, so be careful! This model do not present a microSD memory card as the built-in 32GB memory proves to be enough; for those who need more space they can use the microSD slot and add up to 8GB of capacity on it.
The case is very tight, one has to put himself through a lot of trials to find an easy way to open it; after a while one can realize that actually pushing the bottom of the case will force the unit to go out. Maybe a higher-quality case would be better to judge. As to the cables it would have been preferred the standard 4-pin USB port instead of including the USB data cable which is more standard for a high-end phone.
The Nokia Ovi and Ovi store features are introduced to the user via a special booklet that is unfortunately more targeted to marketing than to the user’s guiding. Nokia included also a detachable stylus to be used in precision typing and writing, but it seems that is quite useless so long as the keyboard works pretty well. A thing that at first sight might seem minor is the presence of the swab cloth. The surface of the N97 gets easily greasy and filled with fingerprints, and the wipe cloth looks a useful thing when it comes to keeping your unit tidy and shiny.
