Chinese Zodiac

Posted by admin | special interests | Tuesday 16 June 2009 3:16 pm

The Chinese Zodiac is thousands of years old and easily predates its Western counterpart. Even today, millions of believers across the globe consult the Chinese Zodiac regularly.

While Western Astrology is based upon the months of the year, Chinese Astrology is based upon a twelve year lunar cycle. Your sign is determined by the year in which you were born (to be accurate you must use a Chinese calendar). Each sign and those born under it, are represented by one of twelve animals, and are ascribed a set of attributes the Chinese believe comprise the nature of each particular animal. The current Chinese year began on January 24, 2001–a year of the Snake.

Create tinyURL

Posted by admin | codes | Monday 8 June 2009 4:48 pm

TinyURL is a web service that provides short aliases for redirection of long URLs. Kevin Gilbertson, a web developer, launched the service in January 2002 so that he would be able to link directly to newsgroup postings which frequently had long and cumbersome addresses.

To more clear  who don’t know what TinyURL is, TinyURL allows you to take a long URL like “http://manuabraham.info/jquery-link-nudging” and turn it into “http://tinyurl.com/67c4se”. Using the PHP and TinyURL API, you can create these tiny URLs on the fly!.

The role of a web developer!

Posted by admin | General | Friday 5 June 2009 2:35 pm

I’ve been a web developer for close on 3 years now. I started with building microsites and content updates for the first few months, and gradually got into building PHP based backends. That progression kept pace and in the last two years at Legal & General I was co-developing of entire e-commerce applications, seeing every little piece that makes up a PHP-based web application.

Who is a web developer

A web developer is a software developer or software engineer who is specifically engaged in the development of World Wide Web applications, or distributed network applications that are run over the HTTP protocol from a web server to a web browser.
