Programming and Music

We can't say that we have all the same optics in life. But to learn and find ways to hit our targets is a huge compromise as part of a "being". Music is the universal language of the soul and the soul contradicts the negative and positive elements inside us. Programming is composing a codes, it is akin to Music by creating Melody and reading Music SHeeTs, other people  will disagree about this. Our minds has the capability to create judgement, it will depend to the arousal of ones perception to end up with his enthusiasm and select the best for him even thought its a hoax......check this topic -
MUSIC AND PROGRAMMING

Basic Web Development Solutions

You want to write your own piece like songs, poems and stories, and your target is a mammoth crowd of audience? then free hosted sites service is for you. Most of the developers forgot to consider that hosted web service is the best to become their sidekicks in developing their own content.

Web hosted solutions is not bad after all, they can easily be managed and automatically propelled the syndication of the content using the aggregators like RSS(Really Simple Syndication). The Google web site offers a variety of web service from blogs to web e-mails. The templates are already in the dashboard/main panel area, the end user has to activate it and start to choose the templates and layout of his own to rock in the internet.

There are Hosted Blogging services too, you can tell the globe of your stories and experiences or exchange ideas with the different races at the edge of the continent. The following blogging service are - blogger.com, yahoo! 360- the address is http://360.yahoo.com. Myspace is part of the bigtime innovation of FB, check myspace.com There are lots of websites that offer services in the internet, but one thing of caveat! guard your self or you might embrace a catastrophe experience on the net.

If you gotten these hosted services. its about time for you to understand the web technology. How does the Web Technology works. Try HTML tutorial at w3cSchool.

Of Active-x and Programs

Before it was the OLE (object Linking Embedding) now its the innovation of frameworks to apply the various technology of the 3rd party programs that instigate applications of web, multimedia, stand alone programs, mobile, augmented systems and the network enterprise application.

According to the WIKEPEDIA ACTIVEX” is – is a framework for defining reusable software components in a programming language independent way. Software applications can then be composed from one or more of these components in order to provide their functionality.[1]
It was introduced in 1996 by Microsoft as a development of its Component Object Model (COM) and Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technologies and is commonly used in its Windows operating system, although the technology itself is not tied to it.
Many Microsoft Windows applications — including many of those from Microsoft itself, such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio, and Windows Media Player — use ActiveX controls to build their feature-set and also encapsulate their own functionality as ActiveX controls which can then be embedded into other applications. Internet Explorer also allows embedding ActiveX controls onto web pages.”

I think framework is just a container or a monstrous IDE (integrated Development Environment) of the softwares where external libraries and links are catered by the host which is the framework.

To straighten the discussion, Activex speed up the programming process by means of Controls and elements. This is the artillery of the programmers, to erect a unique applications, no need to expand the systems by writing a curvy and spaghetti codes, it is designed to curb long codes and embrace the Rapid Application Design(RAD).

There are two types of control in the Vb framework , these are the Standard and and Intrisinc(hidden) control. Where can you find this? it is located in the Reference of the VB framework.

On the other hand OLE was (I think the current vehicle of activex) the vintage activex that automates the process of shelling other applications. It has the temerity to call external applications and create a logical simulation of linking the remote applications to the Hosts programs.

For example, Notepad could be the target program to communicate with the VB program. This is to link the host and the server using the OLE component of the Visual Basic. This is an old trick, but once you understand the principle, it could lead to a better innovation process.

You can share your thoughts, ideas or queries in the HOW TO column.

The Principle of CMS

Everybody wants to develop their own portal in the internet.That's why the courses of computer science and Computer engineering were erected to study the profound theories of internet infrastructure as well as to deploy the data in the internet by means of different network gateways.

The HMTL is the most profound tool to commence a program in creating a website. The lexemes and other principles of programming structure should be integrated in designing a website. We will also consider the IPO process, this is the input-process-output. It is akin to data structure applications, the only difference is the tags use to dictate the browser to the display the data.

The content Management System is the results of milestone HTML improvements, and it created a huge difference in data communication. The HTML is part of it, there are new breeding of HTML that communicates to the core module of web development. The content of the web could be dynamic and static, but because of open sources that creates a niche in providing engine to back the different open source database and programs, the open source community for CMS were established by different organization, like Ubuntu, Zikula, Mambo,Drupal,Kubrick(b2 now Wordpress) and Joomla.

Though, open source is for free, the codes should be respected by the programmer and could be override for further improvements in order to become useful for the internet community. Most of the CMS are developed in Php. The Php was developed by Rasmus Lerdorf.

In CMS, the programmer and end user could easily enhance the page with out programming. It is like a control panel with different channels of application. There is the Themes,footer,header,images,templates,plugins and much more. It is easy to change the skin of the website if you are using the CMS product. For the advance users, they can integrate the scripts and snippets to add more plugins inside the web content. The hooks and Modules are included to build your page inside the page and provide social networks by means of calling the Hooks and the Modules.

Building a web content like blogs, e-commerce, social networks and other web applications are not a laborious tasks anymore. The pre-requisites to consider prior working a web project is the knowledge in HTML,web Technology,Database and CMS. From that point you can work out with your blooded design using the CMS.

Cloud apps not a clear Cloud?

According to the news, Amazon and Sony Play station Network suffered an interruption or what we call outage. The same thing that happens to Google that frail the services of their consumer blogging service.

The problems were compounded of the DNS server that preventing the users to use some web applications and devices. These constitutes a basket of woes to the computing enterprise that cloud app has some setbacks and it is still on its infancy stage to propel a stable network service.

We heard lots of things about cloud applications, this is the big thing in computing. By using it you have no dread to allocate, install, configure your data or collocate it, rather to use the applications without installation and accessing personal files at any computer with internet access.

Yahoo e-mail and Gmail is using the cloud application, these are giant companies that provide accounts  of  million subscribers and down time and DNS  anomalies should not be the dilemma. In Cloud application you need only the Internet connection to use the program.

The focus should point to security of the Cloud application, there must be a thorough check and monitoring of the Data, Network connection under the Cloud application. The melancholy thing is , even the Cloud Provider  themselves are experiencing this problem and it would be a dark CLouds to the computing arena if things will not be resolved.

Preventing spam on your blogs and Emails: Basic Information about CAPTCHA

Have you ever wondered that you received numerous spam comments in your blogs or unknown e-mails?these are unwanted requests and files from unsecured  websites that  you  have visited and downloaded in the internet. If you send a multiple emails to the same recipients the mail program is prompting you to validate your entry or to confirm your data before sending it to the recipient. This is to test if the web robot or computer is controlling the task in your PC and doing a sinister activity, one of this is spamming and freezing your browsing of that website in your PC (but other PC can view it) due to profuse request coming from unknown websites creating sessions to store information in your folder for online transactions.

CAPTCHA is a challenge of test to the human to answer but the computers cannot. This is to validate that applications and other functionality of the web programs  are controlled by the individuals not the computer or web bots. least, there will be a minimal problems of spam avalanche especially in e-mails and comments in your blog.

I think you are buffled with this term, CAPTCHA means - for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart this was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and John Langford of Carnegie Mellon University. The Yahoo was the first to used this technology.

Captcha provide the following security, these are : 1. Preventing avalanche of spam in blog comments text box. 2. Cheated voting polls 3.Password attacks  4. Defending fake Web Sites presence and Registration 5.Protection againts malicious Web Bots 6. Spamming  7. Worms

One thing, Web bots is useful to index a site so that it is readable to all users, but dilemma will occur if indexed site will be the sporadic target for malicious bots attacks. To negate spam and other malicious attacks it is better to apply CAPTCHA, to identify the data validation done by human and not by the computers.

The power of Likes

Cartoon model of Ms.Like and Mr.Like

It is definite! it is like vs. tweet buttons, these are the behemoth battle of social marketing and campaigns in the internet. You can see these little buttons every time you stumble in different web content,like blogs,news,video blog,photo blog, entertainment and news,e-commerce, and mixed content. This is an automatic way to share and promote the sites to the other social media applications.

The likes technology is getting a mountainous respect from the social network community. Creating an applications or developing your own e-journal for promotion is an easy way with the support of free snippets and apps. The same thing with the twitter network. Just drop off your notes or personal diary with short text then you let the global community see your message.

What if? we constitute a segments of group, male and female to likes and to tweet? Ms.Likes and Mr.Likes the same thing with the twitter network. Sound weird. The market is evolving in the internet. The more you tweets and push the like buttons the arrays of presence you have in the internet community.

Lowbat in computer coding

I don't understand why the learning process of IT students here in the province of Iloilo is depleting, we have a good curriculum and even a scholarly programs for IT and CS subjects, but the meat of the matter is the deficiency of IT pedagogy for the students. We have an excellent curriculum but this could not suffice the students learning in CS and IT major subjects. Even though we are in the advance milestone of media and communication avenue, we can't deny the fact that there are few in IT and CS students can understand the course of Information Technology and Computer Science.

The tiny problem is the knowledge in "computing". It is not to compute numbers but to learn the different curves and intestines of the computer science technology theory and applications. Ask the IT students about the essence of getting the Computer Science and IT courses,then you will get a vague answers, why? there are no descent directions for the course! This is akin to computer subjects. We often see the rhetoric descriptive title that entice the student to take a shot in the IT and CS courses. Programming is not a course! it is a hodge podge of software developments and Systems Applications. Where to start and how to start? that is the a huge question.

Do you know what is programming? yes it is to define or to construed the objects,variables,methods,package,control,decision and reiterations of the code. How would you start a program with out learning the basics? A basic is the medieval stage of learning the foundation of the computer theory. You target is to identify the different types of data and its abstract groups. By the time you grasp the data structure then you can learn the mechanism of operating system various platforms and that includes the switching logic gates and design theory.

Start with the basic, it is imperative to dance with the data structure and mixed the theory of Computer Organization that will discourse the hierarchy models of hardware components. From that cogency you will perceive the functions of your computer devices and body networks. When you are learning the IT and CS subjects you should know the principles of computer organization. How would you enhance an 8KB to 16 KB? If you can't answer that question then you're simply categorized as a typical end user.

Using the Data Structure as a alliance to computing kingdom could eke your knowledge in data abstraction. The technology is borderless when it comes to inventions. You can't jump to one applications and perform any experimentations unless otherwise you know the very basic of "computing". The liberty to taste all the softwares capabilities is innocous, but it won't quench your thirst in learning the application.


The next step is to do the basic programming using the structural approach. The Structured programming is a hierarchy model that start with the first parameter, declaring the first statement as the header in public and private usage. You need to concentrate with the Basic operations, starting from the data types. This data types is your basic knowledge in Data Structure subject. This is where attributes of the data is explained, spectrum from int to double precisions-bytes and word.

C language by Ritchie and Kernigham is the best way to kick off your career as junior programmer. You should embrace patience and never embrace the sense of dread. If you understand the basic part of Data Structure, then you have all the world to understand the structural programming principles. The dilemma that struct down the students learning is the delivery of instructions from the teacher.(This is a prevalent cases) This is a malady of education system that prevails in the longest time and it won't melt down as a dilemma.

Master the decision support principles, using the nested and drop down if and else statement. Be careful about the attack to operands and operators. Let say this statement will create a lexeme, x=x+1 is bit the same to x++;.You know, this is the basic but it discloses the universal approach in programming languages. Never get tired to learn the reiteration and the logic gateway in testing the block of codes using the loops.

- - do{

}while (condition)

-- while(condition){


}
-- for(initialization,condition,increment){

}

These are codes, don't be confused and stay focus. I can still recall the students in IT and CS yesteryears that there weak point is to create "tiny" program to reiterate the numbers from one to 10 using the loop process. Programming is to get involve with the computer's objects and to erect a powerful house of functions. The essence of programming is to write the functions. Once you have the basic in structured programming you can defy the difficulties in writing a procedure and a function. Always practice this approach and never leave the principles of data structure, that will serve as a holy grail in coding.

Javascript power

The web technology has increases its usability due to the demands of consumers all around the world. There are geeks,idiots,wannabe's whose talents are still unripe and want to disclose their skills in the internet,some of them has reached the apex of coding and hacking the web content because of the availability of internet  script,codes and snippets.Just imagine you are sorrounded of different informations, all types of data that in a single click can be yours in a minute by browsing the web.

The internet data are motored also by javascript programs. A little pop ups and banners that came along your way are programs weaved in javascript.A butterlfy that float and dynamic images that repeatedly  move horizontally and vertically are created in javascript.

How about getting some ideas to javascript? yet this is a client side programming but we can't predict the tails and extremeties of javascript. Remember Java is not a javascript and vice versa, they have a unique name and related names but they don't promulgate relationships. Javascript was originally the livescript from Netscape Navigator.

When the world wide web was presented to the researchers and developers in the global community, the javascript was born to bridge the cross platform of innovations via web. This has something to do with ECMA. - Ecma International is an international, private (membership-based) non-profit standards organization for information and communication systems.[1] It acquired its name in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name to reflect the organization's global reach and activities. As a consequence, the name is no longer considered an acronym and no longer uses full capitalization. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecma_International


Lets do the ABC of javascript code, an attack directly hitting the navigation bar of the browser to display the code. Open your browser, you can use filezilla,safari,IE or chrome, its your choice of your own comfort. The javascript command starts with  javascript: <- this is a code, a command, a syntax. Syntax is the structure of the command that executes the statements.

Now, try to type this javascript:alert('hello'); < you have two((2) commands here. The first command is fusing the javascript:, the colon telling the program to go in the "next statement"". The "alert" command is the output, there are basic things when doing the programming and even in scripting. This protocols are INPUT and  OUPUT. In this case we are commanding the script to display the world " hello" by using the command ->"alert('hello').

We are trying to instigate the principle of basic coding, using the primitive command in javascript- -ing. You can even ask the user to enter his name right in the browser location bar. using the javascript. How? this is the code, javascript:var ask;ask= prompt("enter your name"); The trick sometimes could lead to castastrophe, but we need to avert those things, the meat here is to learn the power of javascript technology.

As the javascript highlights its years in computing, there are new techniques and tricks in javascript that can deface the facade of the web content, using the ContentEditable of HTML5. But this is only a client side programming to twist  and curl the text of the website  and a don't agitate the data in the server.

Javascript is not Java?

Javascript changed the face of web technology, it produces a limitless developers to reach the high end of internet operation. Today, people are going gaga about the internet applications, that's because of increasing demands of net fibers in the market. Not only that, the power of social networks is glued to the daily routine of our lives. Most of the web applications were done in javascript.

But the meat of the matter is , javascript is not java. When Netscape constituted their browser,they added a script to powered their web browser. They called it as livescript,then the rest is history. Java was a robust application and it promised to run in a cross platform machine like unix, mac and windows.

Java could adapt the web technology programming, using its applets code and embed it inside the html tag. Remember Java was the product of beautiful mind from a genius computer scientist named James Gosling, one of the objective of Java is to run in a small device or machine that will accomodate the demand of the markets.

Java and javascripts are the in demand commodities in computing world,whether we like or not still markets and applications are soaring high because of java and javascripts.
