website developing tools

To develop website. There are several tools/softwares that can be used. Some of them are as follows:

IrfanView- this is one of the most simple and easy tool of all. It comes with the features that a person can use with ease.  The features like resizing the image, by percentage is one of the key feature of it.

Serif WebPlus- if you want templates and want to work on that, then this is the answer to it. it is having media utilities like for youtube , flash etc. There is nothing like only “technical people” can work on it because there is no technical wording used in this.

TopStyle- this one is for the person or professional, who have knowledge about html, or css. If you have an old html page or website and want to change it, this software will help you. 

ImageLab from Sausage Software- there are numerous of images available to the users. This is used by non-designers who want ease in their job. It is one of the best alternative to modify the clipboard images.

Blocking Social networking at work- right or wrong?

Every eight out of ten person is on social networking media, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter or any other sites. Even CEO’s, MD, managers and higher officials can be found on those media. So, if it is called as “bad” then why are they there?

The question which still prevails in most of the organizations is– should these sites be banned for employees or college students?

There are different opinions of different people. So what should be the real solution to this?

According to the Nucleus Research survey, employers are losing 1.5 workers per 100 in employee productivity to the supposed time-wasting activity known as "Facebooking." 

Even students lose their concentration while studying or while working in lab. Their mind wanders near these sites only as many of us are now addicted to it.

It is to say when given a chance, a person logs in minimum ten times in his spare time, just to see if there have been any comments on his status, or like on his picture or any updates. It can be summarized as “human behaviour”- we if given a choice would definitely divert from our work at some point of time.

As every coin have two faces so there is a second opinion on this concept too.

We all need small breaks from our work every now and then as we are humans not machines. Even if social networking is banned, it doesn’t mean employee won’t find any other means of deflecting himself from the job if he wants to.  

Same can be said for students too. There are researches which states people who took small breaks between tasks were 9% more productive than others who did not. "It gives them a chance to reset their concentration”. 

This issue is again not a scenario which can be defined as pure white or pure black. There are some gray regions in this, which needs to be addressed. On the whole, we must leave it to an individual. Let him/her decide on whether they want to waste time on such stuffs or they want to make use of it. If they don’t perform, then organization can take measures to talk to that person.

The question which now arises is how many of us would not touch social networking sites as a matter of personal discipline? 

 

And this can be answered by individuals only as they are the one who have choice to balance their job as well as their pass time. If they prefer to waste their time- then they will find other ways other than these sites. On the whole it can be productive as well as non productive, which totally depends on individual’s perceptions. Banning sites is never a solution, if they want to stimulate their productivity or educational values, may be disciplining those who don’t work as they are expected to, can be one of the solutions.

Creating website- PHP or ASP.NET or JSP

We have created a banner and logo which was a basic requirement for a website. Now we need a platform-One needs to know in which platform he/she should make a website.

The most popular is PHP and the simplest of all is ASP.NET.

One of my friends prefers JSP over these.

The key points are:

PHP

-download WAMP, LAMP, and XAMP for windows, Linux or both respectively

-install it; make sure all the “services” are online.

-this package have APACHE server needed for the PHP code to run. MYSQL is also there, we can make our databases in it.

-make your PHP files in notepad and save it as *.php

-Or we can use DREAMWEAVER

ASP.NET and JSP(java server pages)

-these both are not open source like PHP. But ASP has easier options like. Drag and drop “textbox” on your webpage directly, working with VB or C# in background.

-ASP run on IIS or PWS server (built in these days), JSP runs on Apache tomcat server.

-JSP supports real java codes and like java its platform independent

-ASP.NET can be made in DREAMWEAVER or within .NET framework.

-for database connectivity in JSP, it only needs driver of that database and it will connect to it.

So this was the basic information about the three platforms. Pick one, read online tutorial and start coding.

If you don’t want a website with backend option, then wix.com also provides great deal of website, edit it and upload it.

At first, it may be a challenge but slowly it would become more interesting day by day.
