Mostly of the software developers don’t like to make schedules. They always said “Will be done when its done” well that’s not correct at all, because a very good pacification is really necessary; of course if your planning to make good software otherwise keep doing with what you are doing.
Of course a schedule must be real, I mean is worthless if you make a schedule and you forgot about it until 3 months after the development is on the way, or if you don’t follow that schedule.
The times on the schedules.. in this point everyone must be really real, even is the client is telling you that everything must be done in a month… If that is not possible.. you must be realistic the day doesn’t have 50 hours, and you cant have 10 people on an small project thinking that less time more people, because that wont work.
Continue with the time of the task on the schedules you must realize that time is money, I don’t want to sound like a person that only cares about money but sadly in the real world companies and corporations only care about money and time, well both are related. The problem is that you don’t schedule your project right, you wont know how long will take, so how do you know how much to charge for the project? Or you will give the client a blind number? What happened if this amount is less than the real one? You loose.

This Content Management System’s are a very powerful tool, to all the people who need to publish content in a easy and professional way. This happens because the CMS like Drupal, Joomla, etc. Do all the dirty work, so A person who doesn’t have any programming skill (like some of my teachers) wont have any trouble to publish content on the web in a couple of minutes.
On the internet anyone can found a lot of CMS’s of course, some better than other, but for almost everybody who knows a little bit of this systems, or at least know how to use them; the winners are Drupal and Joomla, this is the main reason that why I’m writing this post.
I start using Drupal and Joomla since 2004, first with Drupal, for that time Drupal was really hard to set up, and hard to maintain, besides that have a lot of bugs. Then I switch to Joomla, which was much better than Drupal, in the way that was really easy to set up and maintain. After a while Drupal reach the same horizon than Joomla on the functionality matter. Of course each one have their own strength and weakness

This time we will write about some issues about programming, special for c, c++, in this case usually you can use flat files for save data from your programs, this is ok, nobody will say that is a bad programming technique, but what’s wrong is that some teachers are trying to say to their students that this is ok and that this thing works fine.. or that is best way to handle data when you are programming.
Before we have Database’s the only way the handle data was thru files… in that time, the only way was using the files, even now the files handling isn’t wrong… because is really useful when you want to save some data, for that you wont need a database…
Here you have some Problems with Using Flat Files
There are a number of problems in working with flat files:

I read this book a few weeks ago…. This book teaches everything related to UML (Unified Modeling Language), UML is really important for anyone who want to get into the software development, because if you know how to use UML, the process of software development will much easier and also helps is modifications are required later.
Quoting the book

Who didn’t use these devices at least one time?? Well that is the main reason of this post, everyone use these devices, for many things like save music, files, video, etc, for your home or for your work…. Well, using the USB is a really secure way to transport your data, but at the same time could be a threat. Why?? I am going to explain that after a brief introduction about the different USB devices. U3 Technology USB without U3 USB with U3 Then I will talk about the security threats about the USB and other uses for these devices. What is U3 Technology? This technology provides the USB devices the ability to run applications directly on the USB. More info (www.u3.com). So far there are only a small number of applications that can work using U3 like (Web Applications, Mysql and Open Office). USB without U3, these are the devices that most of the people have and uses so far, and these are the most inexpensive ones, these devices only store data (music, video, etc) you cannot run directly the applications on the USB but that doesn’t mean that people can’t use it for other purposes (Social Engineering, Hacks). |
