Producing an e-brochure requires a lot of creativity, so you wouldn’t want to spoil all that with the wrong online publishing software package. Actually, picking out a software provider is the most important part of producing an online publication. Formatting your brochure is simply a tiny part of what they do. Simplicity of operation is the main thing you want in the software. Because of course, it doesn’t matter how wonderful the software is if you yourself can’t do anything with it… Make the time to dry run different packages before you pick a provider for your ebrochure. With spamming and hacking being an issue online, security measures should be your next main consideration as you’re making a digital publication. Is there something placed to secure the account? Is the content itself secured? Is it possible for people to just copy-paste the magazine content or has the software supplier prevented such things? Is your content secure? Has a marketing strategy been created? Ads, social-media, these are sections which ought to be covered irrespective of what marketing plan is being used. Modern-day marketing techniques mean considering search engine essentials as you edit content. When producing an online publication, you’ll be dealing with former editions. What accessibility is there going to be to the public? Without public availability you have many hosting options and you need to look around a variety of hosting alternatives. So what plans have you got in mind to publicize this digital publication? The tech-support offered by your flash publication software provider is the prime consideration. How contactable are they? Response time is the concern. Examine whichever FAQs or how-tos they have. Perhaps this seems minor, but in the event of something going horribly wrong, you’ll be relieved you thought about this beforehand.

Once you’ve resolved on producing an online publication such as an electronic magazine, choosing the right hosting service can go a long way to determining its success. Riches follows cautious decision-making.

One obvious solution is to approach a software development company and obtain a custom built product. However to take this approach one needs to first know what features and functionality is desired. Then on the other hand in some instances the need does not warrant the cost of commissioning a custom application.

A plethora of free open source web applications exist today. Regardless of the specific circumstances of the need these applications can quite often prove to be a valuable resource.

http://freshmeat.net is one of the best online directories of open source applications. A quick search on freshmeat.net for say “intranet”, “cms” or “groupware” will yield pages of results. Browsing these results any application marked beta, stable or mature is a possible solution. A large majority of the available web applications would also state PHP + MySQL as the platform.

Oh well I need to have some Linux Server and it’s way too hard is a common reaction. Fortunately this is not entirely true. If you wanted to host a large scale production site then the chances are that a custom Linux server may well be a requirement. However just evaluating on your own PC, or setting up a solution on your LAN for anywhere between 1 to 100 users can be easily realized without custom Linux servers.

The solution is in another open source free product known as WAMP server. The acronym stands for Windows Apache MySQL PHP server. WAMP is extremely simple to install and a good platform for either evaluating PHP + MYSQL applications or operating the same for up to a few hundred users.

Visit http://www.wampserver.com
Or http://www.wampserver.com/en/ for the English version
First it is important to note that most open source PHP + MySQL applications will not run correctly on the latest versions of PHP and MySQL. For this reason instead of the downloading the latest version of WAMP server click on “downloads” from the left menu and then click on “older versions at sourceforge” This will take you to
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116092
scroll down and select “WAMP5 1.4.3″. Download the WAMP5_1.4.3.exe file and install it on your computer with default options.

Once installed and started a new icon will appear in the icon tray near the date/time on your task bar. Left click on this icon to activate it’s menu which allows you to restart or edit the configuration files.

Changing the web server port if necessary.

One common reason for wanting to edit configuration file is in case you already have a web server running on the same computer. In this case you would need to change the port address used by apache to something other than 80. In this case 8080 would probably be a good alternative choice.

——-Changing the web server port address Begin———–
Click on the WAMP server icon and from the menu under “config files” select “httpd.conf”. A long text file will open up in notepad. In this file scroll down to the line that reads “Port 80″ and change this to read “Port 8080″, Save the file and close notepad. Once again click on the wamp server icon and select restart all services. One more change needs to be made before we are done. In Windows Explorer find the location where WAMP server was installed which is by Default “C:\Wamp”. Next goto the subfolder named “www”. Inside here you will see another subfolder named “phpmyadmin”. We are looking for a file named “config.inc.php”. In a default installation this file will be at “C:\Wamp\www\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php”. Open this file in wordpad and find the line that reads
$cfg[’PmaAbsoluteUri’] = ‘localhost/phpmyadmin/’;
Change this line to read:
$cfg[’PmaAbsoluteUri’] = ‘localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/’;
——-Changing the web server port address End———–

Now open a web browser and access http://localhost . Or if you changed the port address to 8080 then goto http://localhost:8080/ You should be greeted by the WAMP welcome page. For each application that you wish to install create a new folder inside the “www” subfolder of where WAMP was installed. Lets assume that WAMP was installed at “C:\Wamp”.

Let say for example you wanted to install Mambo (www.mamboserver.com)
1) You would download the .zip or .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file and uncompress it using winzip or winrar into “c:\Wamp\www\mambo”.
2) You would access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and access phpmyadmin. In here you would create a new database for mambo.
3) You would then access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and from the list at the bottom of the page you would click on Mambo
4) You would then be greeted by the mambo installer which is a simple 5 step process. (the default username for MySQL is root and the password is blank as in an empty string)

Let say for example you wanted to install oscommerce
You would download the .zip or .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file and uncompress it using winzip or winrar into “c:\Wamp\www\oscommerce”.
5) You would access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and access phpmyadmin. In here you would create a new database for oscommerce.
6) You would then access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and from the list at the bottom of the page you would click on Mambo
7) You would then be greeted by the oscommerce installer which is a simple process. (the default username for MySQL is root and the password is blank as in an empty string)

And so on and so forth.

Any PHP + MySQL web application which does not provide an automated installer is most likely not a very mature application.

Good luck

Does Microsoft Have any Real Competition? Copyright (c) 2003 Gregory S. Diehl In a word, yes.

And I think they are about to get more.

Microsoft primarily dominates in operating systems and office productivity software.

Windows is going to be the dominant OS for some time. But I think things will get much more interesting with the Novell/SuSE merger. The giant IBM was already behind Linux. (People forget that if IBM’s software division were a separate company, it would be number two only to Microsoft.) Now, they face the challenge from a company that knows how to market to the enterprise, which Red Hat does not. SuSE gets the channels and business partners it needs worldwide; Novell can assure its survival beyond NetWare as a competitor to the hated Microsoft. (Novell feels about as strongly about the folks from the Northwest as Sun does.)

And speaking of Sun, they are aggressively pushing StarOffice as an alternative to Microsoft Office. It offers file compatibility, so anyone on a budget may want to at least consider it. Corel is also hanging in there with WordPerfect and other products, and Novell has GroupWise. So there is at least a little competition in office productivity, although admittedly not much. StarOffice is now available in the retail channel, so that may change.

With Sun and IBM pushing Java/J2EE as the platform for Web services, .NET is getting all the competition it can handle. For dynamic Web publishing (updating from a database) I seem to see at least as many pages with .jsp (Java Server Pages) or .php (Hypertext Preprocessor) as I do .asp (Active Server Pages, from Microsoft) on the file name. (If you’ve ever wondered what those strange things were that were not .htm or .html, that’s it!)

There are two areas where Microsoft is not even close to first place.

Most Web servers are Apache running under Linux, not Microsoft’s Internet Information Server on a Windows box.

In the database arena, Microsoft really faces stiff competition. IBM is still number one with DB2, and Oracle is close behind. While SQL Server 2000 is much more robust and enterprise-ready than its predecessors, it is still in third place. (Albeit a tighter third place with the scalability and other features of SQL Server 2000.) On the charts with a bullet is MySQL, the Linux of the database world that is gaining more market share in enterprises not needing the features of a DB2 or Oracle.

So, does Microsoft have competition? Yes, even in areas of near-monopoly, there is at least some competition.

There’s more involved in turning a profit than income alone - you need to be making money cost effectively. A simple and often forgotten asset when doing so is performance management software. It’s common knowledge that a smart business will tailor its routines to the strengths of each member of staff in order to get the best from them. Identifying and tracking this data is often where things become challenging.

Taking one facet of this — namely employee appraisal — defining progress and being able to track it is a significant hassle. First, you implement employee evaluation reviews to evaluate and track the work performed by each member of staff. Analyzing this data comes next. After all, before it’s ready to use setting goals and identifying further advancement you need to know what the pure data actually means.

With performance appraisal software, all you need to do is look at the different analyses to pinpoint the ideal objectives and then follow the member of staff’s development. Generating as it does more accurate information for less time invested, this is of course a cost saving measure before putting these findings to use. If you want to it’s possible instead to carry out your own analysis, simply using the software to create and keep up a record to work from. And making your employees more efficient is simply one improvement that can be achieved using performance management software. Both clients and suppliers can be studied using such software, providing you with still more performance appraisal tools. Identifying the suppliers that carry the better quality and best priced products can be a great boon.

The internet browser market has long been dominated by Internet Explorer, but a new kid on the block — Firefox — is making strong inroads against the Microsoft product’s dominance. To date, over 75 million copies of Firefox have been downloaded by users around the world. Here are some reasons why you should replace Explorer with Firefox.

1. No Pop Ups. Unlike Explorer, Firefox has a nifty pop up blocker in place. No more garbage to fill your screen as you search the internet with Firefox. Can’t say the same for Explorer, however.

2. Your Security. Spyware, trojan horses, and ActiveX controls are stopped in their tracks. Explorer limits through unreliable third party downloads.

3. Quick Downloading. Downloading files is a snap as they are done quickly and painlessly. Once Firefox completes the download you will be prompted to clean up [remove] unneeded files.

4. Tabbed Browsing. Surfing the internet is easier as users can open up one window and set tabs for quick access to multiple web pages. Specifically, all your browser windows actually work within one window, each marked by tabs that you can click in and out of with ease.

5. Tons of extensions, themes, and plug-ins. You can customize Firefox to work the way you want it to work. Download an ad blocker, a new toolbar, a special theme, or include plug-ins such as Adobe Reader, Windows Media Player, Shockwave, Flash Player, and more.

Firefox is not perfect, but it goes a long way further than Explorer in giving users an enjoyable internet experience. For this reason alone, it is worth being downloaded by you.

There’s more involved in making money than income alone - it’s important to be bringing in money as effectively as possible given your outgoings. A simple and often forgotten aid to doing so is business performance management software.

Business optimization calls for an awareness of the strengths and weak areas of its employees; in what areas is their best work done? How can you adjust your system to emphasize their strengths and hide their weaknesses? There can be no more important question. Discovering and making this knowledge ready for use tends to be where things become tough, though. Defining and tracking progress through employee appraisal on its own can be a huge task. First of all, you use employee appraisal systems to assess and keep track of all work performed by each employee. And if you’re using traditional methods, you now have to analyze all of this information by eye just to define goalposts, and measure further development. With performance management software, you simply examine the various metrics and factors to deduce what these targets should be and subsequently track the employee’s advancement. In this way you ease a significant time commitment and probably also find yourself with more precise information into the bargain. Should you want to you can instead carry out your own analysis, simply using the software to generate and keep up a record to work from.

And making your employees more efficient is only one of the improvements you can make using performance appraisal software. It’s also valuable to study suppliers and clients to better reduce costs by precision buying. Knowing which suppliers carry the best quality and best priced products can reduce costs significantly.

Clients have their own measurements to be scrutinized, and once again this information can be used to benefit your bank balance. You can then adjust your ordering and move products around to increase your profits while reducing outgoings. As well as this, the better awareness of your target demographics will allow easier planning of your advertising.
