Web Hosting, PHP vs ASP

Web Hosting: PHP vs ASP - A Complete Comparison Web Hosting, PHP vs ASP Web pages used to be simple. But in today's world of complex web development, you’re faced with choosing between scripting languages like PHP and ASP for your hosting and development needs. Support & Community PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) has a vast global community, offering free and paid support. ASP (Active Server Pages), though supported by Microsoft, has a smaller base and is often costly to maintain. Platform Compatibility PHP runs seamlessly on Linux servers (the most common hosting platform), whereas ASP is generally restricted to Windows hosting environments. Cost Considerations PHP is open-source and free. ASP requires expensive Microsoft licenses and proprietary software for support, making it a more expensive option. Server Stability Linux servers hosting PHP are known for their stability and resistance to...

Training Staff On New Business Software

Training Staff On New Business Software  Many businesses each year bring in new software to help run their business more efficiently and effectively but there are always minor problems along the way. The most common is staff not wanting to see change and also worried they won’t be able to understand the new software put in place. If you decide to implement new business software you should make sure all your staff understand why you are putting in place new software, the benefits of this and also any important points of what the software package does to help the business. The more you explain the more likely your staff are to understand and enjoy the new training. There are two different ways in which you can train your staff on new computer software but there is the idea of not training your staff at all and letting them learn the new software themselves but this is just unproductive. Your staff could take weeks maybe even a good few months to learn a new piece of software on their...

All About Software Engineering And Development

All About Software Engineering And Development Software engineering, known as SE, is the development, design, maintenance and documentation of software by applying practices and various technologies from fields such as computer science, engineering, application domains, project management, digital asset management and interface design. The conception, development and verification of a software system is what software engineering is all about. It is necessary to identify, define, realize and verify the resultant software’s required characteristics. Necessary testing is required for attributes such as reliability, functionality, testability, maintainability, ease of use, availability and portability. In software engineering, software can be verified to meet these requirements by having design and technical specifications prepared and implemented correctly. The characteristics of the software development process are also important in software engineering. Development itself, development d...

Computer Networking Fundamentals

Computer Networking Fundamentals A computer network is a collection of two or more computers with communication between them through a medium. The communication medium can be through radio waves, wires, infrared, optical fibers etc. Computer network is an integral part of our daily lives, with the most important reason being that of communication. The use of computer networking is to share resources like fax machines, printers, modems, files etc., and its other uses are database server, computer server, email, chat, internet etc. The computer to which the resources are attached is called the server and the other computers that access the resource are called clients. In peer-to-peer computer networks there are no servers. The sharing of fax machines, printers, and modems amongst many computers and users reduce the operational cost. A database on a computer network is a very important application as it stores and runs many important data and jobs. Emails and chats can be used for instant...

Choosing a software application resource

Choosing a software application resource "Use the right tool for the job" is a good motto for software sourcing. There are several options for software sourcing these days. In-house development, software packages, domestic outsourcing, offshore outsourcing, and application service providers (ASPs) are all possible sources for software applications. All have their place in a software sourcing strategy. But they are not all equally suited to all tasks. Industry experience shows that in-house development and purchased software packages are the pillars of software sourcing. The rest are niche solutions.  Results from my company's latest survey, Strategic Trends in Information Technology, show that 50% of existing production applications were delivered by in-house development, 46% by purchased packages, 3% by domestic outsourcing, almost 1% by ASPs, and less than 1% by offshore outsourcing. These results surprise many people who see them. All of the attention lavished on outso...
