When we reach his home in Kandukur village in Andhra Pradesh, 21-year-old Nukathoti Kondaiah serves us bottled mineral water, freshly cut fruit and cold drinks in plastic cups. That may not seem such a big deal but earlier in the day Kondaiah had trudged a couple of hours in the sweltering heat to the nearest grocery store to buy these luxuries. Next month he will begin work with Wipro as a trainee in its software department, taking his mentally-challenged mother with him for treatment. We talk under the shade of a banyan tree surrounded by a crowd of villagers who treat Kondaiah like a celebrity. An eight-year-old fidgeting with the photographer's camera says he'd like to be Kondaiah when he grows up. The odds couldn't have been less in his favour when the teenager's father died young, followed as suddenly by the deaths of his siblings. "She went mad," he says of his mother's ill-health, "I'm her only hope." Life wasn't ki...

Hi friend I have created a class to create the dynamic images from a string with many options from your calling page. You need to include the class file [need a ttf file to be kept in the same folder as class. Also need to change the ttf file name in class to use.] This image string are based on a true type fonts. Class file : /*** Creator : Dhiraj Patra */ class ClGenerateImage{ public $height; public $width; public $background_color; public $text_color; public $text; public $text_s; public $img; function __construct($height="100",$width="200",$background_color=array(255,255,255),$text_color=array(0,0,0),$text="Test",$text_s=35){ //Create the image resource $image = imagecreate($width, $height); //We are making three colors, white, black and gray $back = imagecolorallocate($image, $background_color[0], $background_color[1], $background_color[2]); $front = imagecoloralloca...

Creating an Ajax Process Using PHP and Oracle by Larry Ullman Use the power of JavaScript to add seamless database interactions to your Web pages. Published February 2007 For some time now, Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), has been all the rage in the Web development world. Coming to the forefront with some of Google's features (Suggest, Maps, Gmail, and so on), Ajax performs server requests without the user having to submit a form or click on a link. In other words, the Web browser can make the server request, and handle the response, without the user doing anything or even knowing that this is happening. The immediacy that Ajax brings is not only a great convenience, but it can also be downright cool. In this recipe, I discuss all the code necessary to use Ajax to go from a simple Web page to a JavaScript function to an XMLHttpRequest to a PHP script and, finally, to an Oracle database. Along with the code, I do talk about the individual pieces with r...

Ma Basanti puja held every year in my maternal house in Barddhaman. Check the photos here It is one of the oldest 'sabeki' puja exist in Bengal.

We have seen lot of software development methodologies in last few year. Mostly changed due to web development from client server development. I also using the RAD technology throughout the SDLC but now it too changing very fast by AGIL method. Now customer want their ever changing business logic very fast and in vary short span. Even some times a business logic stayed only for a week. So web engineer required new development method the answer is AGIL. But a problem also arising due to this methodology as there are very little and almost none documentation making developer critical if not impossible to remember the logic of process and modules some times later. We can change our fast development criteria with little bit of compromise by write good code communication.

Web is the greatest information source ever in human history. But have you ever thought of your privacy while surfing web?

I went to Europe (UK and Ireland) to implement and see my application on run by inviting client. About last 1 and 1/2 years, I have been working for a Indian software development company (Mass Software Solutions P Ltd) on off source projects of Europe based company, Ictstudio. Last one year I have been developing a huge ERP for caramboalkidz dot com (a very fast growing company in Ireland). The whole ERP developing by LAMP. PHP is the main work force for it. I went to Ireland mainly to deploy, see how my application is running on huge production, orders, logistic and account of that company. Client is happy from beginning on me and my technology (of course based on PHP and web 2). And I was too glad to see the application on run. PHP proves again that it can deliver world class technology solution on less and fast.

Now almost all PHP developer using one of the MVC Framework from many available. Though I have worked in few different frameworks including own created too. I had found so far my own created framework very helpful for its flexibility and adapting capability of third party tools. But I also found that Zend and CakePHP frameworks are best. CakePHP is more developer friendly and Zend is the more powerful for its Front Controller and extension capability. As PHP is growing very fast with many tools day by day and same time it is maturing as a fully object oriented language as Java. We surely need support from a good framework to manage complex development atmosphere.

Latest buzz "Microsoft offerers Yahoo to take over by 45 Bn Doller" Normally we the PHP and Open Source lovers are thinking about intention of Microsoft a total monopolist till now.

I have been for more than 10 years in Programming / Software Engineering. Recent years I have been seeing that new comers into the IT (especially Software) are not worthy. But the question is why ? why most of them are incapable to compete even average standard to comply? I have found some of the reasons, since I have been working with them for some years. Main causes : 1. Not even touch average level of IQ. What is must for the industry to implement solution of a normal to complex problem. 2. They are mostly from private institutes on which there are lot of complains that students use books on exam even after get the full suggestive question papers. 3. Many of them nor honest to learn neither dedicated to their work. These are the main causes we know about their failure. But I am not telling that there are no exception or I am trying to hurt anybody. And also hope that they will at least try to be honest so that both (they and industry) will be able to produce quality products which w...

Good news for all education aspirants. MIT ( Massachusetts Institute of Technology) introducing Distance Education mode course ware. IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) is the pioneer in this field. But definitely student / aspirant will be more interested to carry on their value education without leaving job or any other difficulties. Obviously MIT' s course will much more expensive than our IGNOU 's. I am an ex-student of IGNOU though felt some communication problem with the IGNOU offices and they were not very helpful. But I hope that they have changed their way to communicate with students now.Wish all the best for Distance Education. Regards.
