Techoblog

I have been meaning to start a techno-blog for a long time now.

Guess I finally got to it today. Well not much work in the office so might as well start it up. This blog is for techies related to the software and internet industry who want to gather information about various technologies and how to choose what in this vast universe of options available.

When I started out my career I was always looking out for "ways" to code and test. Google always helped me in this regard. So I would suggest you do the same thing.

Google knows best.

In my future blogs I will try to include more tutorials, research topics and discussions of the various internet technologies like

- HTML, CSS,
- PHP
- MySQL
- AJAX
- DOM
- Javascript.

I will include also discuss stuff like

- web hosting providers
- how to choose a web host
- how to choose a domain name for your website
- what open source software to use and how
- when to use open source and when to develop you own software
- MVC architecture

There are much more areas that will be covered that I might have forgotten to include in this list. Please feel free to send me more topics that I can talk about and I will be more than happy to include them in this list.

Open source in the age of recession

I have been wondering for a while now how much of an impact Open source is going to make during the recession period.

I have seen that there are lot of jobs available in the Indian market for Open source software including Java and PHP. Is this a sign of things to come? It sure looks quite bright for the open source world.

The age old war between licensed software and open source software should be taken into a new level now with open source having a good advantage especially with companies looking to cut costs and save on IT spending. And this is also good for Open source analysts and freelancers to get together and collate their talents to offer services. That is a good business opportunity as I do see lot of SMEs and startups showing their feelers towards open source.

So will the real Open source people please stand up

This is a my first blog
