Microsoft Office 2007 File Formats Prepare Yourself for Confusion

The ever expanding universe of Microsoft Office workers may be heading towards utter chaos as organizations migrate to Microsoft Office 2007 programs sometime next year - the reason being the new and efficient but equally confusing Office 2007 file formats.





With Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft has introduced at least 20 new file extensions and some of the extension names are not very obvious. For instance, when user see a file attachment like check_this_slide.sldx in userr email message, user might confuse it for a virus or an unsafe extension though its just another PowerPoint 2007 slide file.


Heres a complete list of new file types that have been introduced with the most common Office 2007 Programs - Word, PowerPoint and Excel. This list has 20 entries and we havent touched Visio, Publisher or Microsoft Access 2007.

Microsoft Word 2007 [4 New File Extensions]
• docx - Microsoft Office Word 2007 document
• docm - Microsoft Office Word 2007 macro-enabled document
• .dotx - Microsoft Office Word 2007 template
• dotm - Microsoft Office Word 2007 macro-enabled template

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 [10 New Extensions]
• pptx - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation
• pptm - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 macro-enabled presentation
• potx - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 template
• potm - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 macro-enabled template
• ppsx - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 show
• ppsm - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 macro-enabled show
• ppam - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 macro-enabled add-in 
• sldx - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 Slide 
• sldm - Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 Macro-enabled slide 
• thmx - Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007 theme

Microsoft Excel 2007 [6 New Extensions]
• xlsb - Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Non XML Binary workbook
• xlsx - Microsoft Office Excel 2007 workbook
• xlsm - Microsoft Office Excel 2007 macro-enabled workbook
• xltx - Microsoft Office Excel 2007 template
• xltm - Microsoft Office Excel 2007 macro-enabled template
• xlam - Microsoft Office Excel 2007 add-in

Microsoft says that these new Office 2007 XML Formats result in smaller file sizes and the increase the chances of recovering data from corrupted documents. Theres no argument against that but still, the existence of "so many" file formats in Office 2007 is bound to confuse even the smartest Office geeks, leave apart the lady at the reception desk.

Its more like approaching the y2k day - user never know what would happen until the D-day when people actually migrate to Office 2007. Even Anti virus companies and Firewall vendors will have to release new patches soon to make sure their programs dont block or quarantine Office 2007 files due to "unknown file extensions".

The good point is that Microsoft 2007 Office program still allow user to save files in the older Office binary formats like doc, ppt or xls. And they are providing free compatibility packs to open Office 2007 docs with Office 2003/XP/2000 and vice-versa.

Sony Ericsson Aino review I know fun Web browser organizer and apps

Web browser

The web browser preinstalled on the Aino is the same as Yaris - an updated version of the popular NetFront 3.5 mobile browser. It offers a much smoother experience than before and renders web pages more quickly. Almost every time it nails the zoom level for comfortable reading.
Plenty of shortcuts arranged in a tree structure are listed on the homescreen, right under a search and an address bar. They grant access to free content, such as clips, tracks and games on the Sony Ericsson site, including a step-by-step guide for setting up email accounts or internet connections. The appearance of the home screen changes to a different bright color each time you start the browser too.

The extended home screen is a nice touch on the latest Sony Ericsson phones
Equipped with a mouse pointer, the new NetFront 3.5 web browser always operates in fullscreen mode and the four most important features are easily accessible on a toolbar - mini-map, enter an address, favorites and downloads.

Sony Ericsson Aino web browser
Additionally, we found some other features as well such as mark-and-copy, allowing you to copy text off web pages.
There is also automatic RSS finder. If you browse an RSS enables site, a small RSS icon will appear. If you click there you can access all the available RSS feeds.

Smart-Fit on • Automatic RSS
We really liked the simple web browser user interface. What we really miss though is touch support. With a capacitive screen on board the lack of touch capabilities is a shame. Well say it again - the Opera mini was a joy to use on the touchscreen and its just a third-party app we snatched off the web. It couldnt have been too hard for Sony Ericsson to do something about giving users better browsing options. As things are, the Aino creates a dilemma rather than a choice.

Another thing missing on the Aino is Flash support.

Organizer and apps

The Sony Ericsson Aino offers a wide range of time-management features. The Calendar offers monthly, weekly and daily views. When you add a birth date in the phonebook, the phone prompts adding it to the calendar. The to-do application allows storing of two types of tasks: simple Tasks and Phone calls. Notes are written similar to messages and the T9 dictionary can be used here as well.

The traditional Organizer with its apps • Calendar
There are two eye-candy additions to the calendar app. The first one is that the main menu icon shows the actual date, just like the iPhone UI. The other is available thanks to the bigger screen - every month of the year has its own cartoon background with seasonal motives.

Different cartoons are available for every month
The Alarms are part of the main menu and there are five alarm slots available. Each one offers a lot of options - you can choose to repeat the alarm on chosen days of the week or everyday. Text and a picture can be added to the alarm. Furthermore, the alarms behavior can be defined in case the time it is due to go off comes while the phone is in silent mode.

The well-known alarm
The Calculator is the regular Sony Ericsson app. It offers the basic functions, no bells and whistles, but you can run the Converter from there. The stopwatch and countdown timer are also the familiar basic applications. The Voice recorder has no limit to recording length, making the available free memory the only restriction.

Calculator • Stopwatch • Timer • Converter
You can use the LED flash as a flashlight thanks to the Torch app.

Torch app
As for the additional applications, Sony Ericsson Aino comes with AccuWeather, Bluetooth Robot, YouTube, Music Quiz and Photo Mate.
Photo Mate offers help and practical tips for getting the most out of your camera.
The Music Quiz is exactly what its name says - you have to name the title, artist, album or year of release of random tracks in your music library. Long story short: a part of a song is played each round and you have 5 to 30 seconds to guess.
As far as the Bluetooth Robot is concerned, its a very basic app that you can assign as wallpaper. It has no menus and options, its sole purpose perhaps to detect and display available Bluetooth-enabled devices in the vicinity.

Photo Mate • Music Quiz • Bluetooth Robot
The AccuWeather application gives you up-to-date weather information for locations of interest. Current conditions overview and a three day forecast are available for a great number of cities around the world. You should bear in mind that the data is downloaded in real time and data charges apply. Not that we can think of any other way for the application to work but we still feel a warning is due.
You have 9 available slots, where you can assign different cities. Then you have five different weather information tabs - general, five-day forecast, two-week forecast and more.

Motorola PEBL Review

   

Checked June, 2006 by Jacob Spindel Its rugged and stylish. Its sleek and comfortable. In fact, the Motorola PEBL offered by T-Mobile has quickly become the second-most handsome thing in my house, behind only the cat (trust me, you dont want to upset the cat). The PEBL is the fashion-conscious cousin to the stylin Motorola RAZR and SLVR (all vowel-challenged and hip). Although its features dont stack up quite as well as its design, the PEBL is a contender for basic users who are concerned about their phones durability and good looks. PEBL Preliminaries The PEBL is a jet-black flip-phone with rounded edges, measuring about 3.5" by 1.9" by 0.75" when closed and weighing 3.8 ounces (other colors are also available). Its also available in blue, orange and green. The device is called "self-opening," meaning that it snaps completely open or closed in a manner that feels almost spring-loaded. Three buttons line the phones sides, while the camera and outer display are on the front of the phone. The only other external component of the phones minimalist design is the user-replaceable battery on the back of the phone. When opened, the phones internal buttons and screens follow the standard layout. However, one feature that is more unique is the style of the buttons themselves, which are flat and involve less physical motion than the buttons on most cell phones. Although the backlighting of the buttons is minimal, the buttons design also contributes to the phones overall sense of durability. Durability, in fact, is one of the phones strongest features, since the outside shell simultaneously feels both rubberized and solid. I wouldnt recommend the phone for situations where you will intentionally be regularly involved in high-risk situations (and definitely no scuba diving!), but if you use it normally and happen to have an accident, the PEBL seems significantly more likely to survive than many other phones. Data and Phone Features The PEBL is a quad-band GSM world phone (supporting the 850/900/1800/1900MHz bands) with support for EDGE and GPRS. For voice calls, it worked well, generating clear audio with good volume, with the built-in speakers as well as with wired and wireless headsets. The reception remained strong throughout the areas in which I tested the phone. The PEBL worked well with T-Mobiles "T-Zones" portal, which allows you to access basic functionality like ringtones, images, and news sites specifically built into the T-Zones area. Ringtones downloaded quickly and easily, although users should note that "celebrity voices are impersonated" (the Darth Vader ringtone sounded more like Arnold SchwarzenVader). Since our news phone had only the basic T-Zones data plan, I wasnt able to download Opera Mini, or test DUN (Dial up Networking). The phone is Java compliant and supports J2ME, so Opera Mini and the wealth of J2ME games should work fine. PEBL to the Metal This wouldve been yet another restatement of "the phone uses the standard Motorola user interface, which has decent performance..." except that the PEBL had the misfortune of being newsed at the same time as Samsungs t509, a phone that has truly raised my expectations. Compared to the Samsung, Motorolas user interface has a noticeable lag for virtually every button push, even just navigating basic menus. T-Mobile doesnt specify what CPU the PEBL uses, but my patience for these types of delays is quickly running out. The phone does not accept any expansion cards, and has only about 5 MB of internal memory accessible to the user. Although I was glad to see that its connector is a standard USB mini-B 5-pin port, the usefulness of this feature is largely negated by the fact that it cannot connect to a computer via USB unless the computer has optional software installed (not included with the phone). PEBLs Pixels The phone has very sharp displays. The inside display is active matrix with a resolution of 176 pixels by 220, and it displays up to 262,000 colors with a bright, clear image. Even the external display, which is 92 x 32 pixels, is more stylized and unique than most flip-phones outer screens, offering multiple display styles you can choose from to monitor the phones clock, battery, and signal strength when the phone is closed. Being a flip-phone, the PEBL also has the inherent advantage of strong protection for its internal screen. Moto Photo The PEBLs built-in camera also worked well. Although its resolution is a modest 640 x 480, I found the clarity of the pictures to be impressive. Using the 4x digital zoom made images a bit blurrier (as expected), but still fairly decent. As with most cell phones, pictures and movies from the camera are stored as JPEGs and 3gp files, respectively. Bluetooth The PEBLs Bluetooth is yet another case of "just like all the other Motorola phones." In testing, it paired with computers and wireless headsets without problems, and it also used Bluetooth to transmit files (such as photos you take with the camera) successfully. However, like other Motorola phones, you have to manually enable the "discoverable" mode every time you need it, since the mode will turn itself off after one minute. This makes for better security but it can also be a nuisance if you frequently pair with new devices.

PEBL Power

The PEBLs included lithium-ion battery is rated at 740 mAh, with a claimed battery life of 5 hours talk time, or 10.5 days of standby. Judging from my use, these estimates are reasonably accurate. Motorola does not offer a higher capacity battery as an option, although you can purchase a spare battery with the same capacity as the included one for $41.99 (according to Motorolas web site).

PEBLs & Bits

The software included with the PEBL is fairly standard, including basics like a messaging app and a voice recording manager. The instant messaging program supports AIM and Yahoo, but not MSN. Mac OS X users can sync the PEBLs address book with iSync, a feature the Samsung t509 doesnt have, but this may be more Apples doing than Motorolas. As with many other Motorola phones, you can manage photos within the photo program, videos within the video program, and so forth, but there is no general-purpose file manager.

Conclusion

The PEBLs slow user interface might put off fast-paced buyers (though if youre OK with other recent Moto phones, the PEBL wont both you much). That said, the cool styling, variety of available colors, no-slip coating which keeps the phone safefly in hand, EDGE for data, bright screen and a camera in a phone with above-average durability are strong selling points.

Pros: Great styling. Strong, sturdy design; clear, bright screen; sharply focused camera.
Cons: Slow user interface, cant connect to computer via USB without additional software.

How Can Robert Jain Help With Debit Protection

By Rob Sutter

People are typically very cautious when it comes to their debit cards, which is something that very few will be able to argue against. The idea of ones PIN number has to be treated with a sense of secrecy but it seems like there is always a chance for criminal activity to come about. How can a certain level of security become increased, though? If you would like to know, I am sure that there is a lot that can be learned if you were to address Robert Jain, for instance.

If you want to make transactions at certain stores, I think that it is in your best interest to look at credit card options when utilizing debit cards. The reason that I say this is because the credit option will not require you to punch in your PIN for any reason. Considering that the PIN is needed in order to access your account, in general, it should never fall into the wrong hands. Keep this in mind if you are someone who is desperately trying to lower the level of compromising made to your account.

You should not put an ATM that appears to be rather shady to use but what are some of the specific details that can be uncovered in this regard? Maybe the machine itself will tell you that you have to enter your ATM again, even after you did it at the start. If you want to talk about warning signs, Id like to think that this is one of the greatest that can be considered. Make sure that you utilize an ATM that is more reputable instead, preferably one that has the name of your bank placed upon it.

If there is a situation when entering your PIN is absolutely necessary, Robert Jain can tell you to cover said PIN with your hand. Its a rather simple method to take up but how many people actually go about this process? Keep in mind that, in retail, many customers have been able to follow this procedure and it was able to help them in terms of more secure payments. Such an action can prove useful, no matter how mundane, and names like Jain will attest to this.

A debit card can prove to be one of the most helpful tools for the sake of finances, which is something that goes without saying. After all, it is seen as one of the best methods of payment, especially if you are the kind of person who typically does not carry large amounts of cash with you. That being said, there is a degree of safety that should be taken in the long term, too. If you keep the above steps in mind, your account will remain all the safer.

Methods To Discover The Ideal Cordless Surround Models

By Martina Swagger

The process of setting up multi-channel audio speakers in home theater systems is quite tedious and suppliers have invented new products and technologies including wireless surround sound speakers or surround sound wireless headphones recently to help simplify the installation. I will have a look at a few of the products and technologies which have appeared and give some pointers about selecting suitable components for a hassle-download installation.

Historically, setting up a TV would be speedy because they would already come with built-in stereo speakers. This, on the other hand, has all changed with multi-channel sound. Today external speakers are used to create a surround sound effect. In case of 5.1 surround, 6 speakers are utilized: center, left and right front, left and right rear and a subwoofer. More recent 7.1 systems require a total number of 8 speakers by adding 2 extra side speakers.

Thus the setup of home theater systems has become a fairly complicated procedure. Numerous homes are not pre-wired for surround sound. Moreover, long speaker cables are often unattractive. Part vendors have come up with several technologies to simplify the installation.

The first approach is creating so-called virtual speakers by applying signal-processing to the sound and introducing phase shifts and special cues to those audio components that would typically be sent by the remote speakers. As the signal processing is based on how the human hearing detects the origin of audio, the audio components which underwent signal processing can be mixed with the front speaker components and broadcast by the front loudspeakers. The signal processing has an effect that will trick the listener into presuming that the audio is originating from an alternate location.

This technology minimizes the quantity of needed loudspeakers and eliminates long speaker cords but every human will process sound somewhat differently due to the form of the ear. Since the signal processing is based on a standard human ear model, virtual surround will not work equally well for everyone dependant upon how much the viewer varies from the standard model. An additional method for avoiding long speaker wire runs is to utilize wireless surround sound systems or wireless loudspeakers. A wireless kit includes a transmitter and one or a number of wireless amplifiers. The transmitter connects to the source. The wireless amplifiers connect to the remote loudspeakers. Usually the transmitter component will come with amplified loudspeaker inputs and line-level inputs. This offers downloaddom to connect to any type of source. A transmitter volume control helps take full advantage of the dynamic range and avoids clipping of the sound inside the transmitter.

Some wireless systems come with wireless amplifiers that connect to two loudspeakers. This still requires cable runs between the two loudspeakers. Other products come with separate wireless amplifiers for each speaker. The most basic wireless systems employ FM transmission. FM transmission is susceptible to noise and sound distortion. More sophisticated systems employ digital audio transmission to completely maintain the original audio. To ensure that all loudspeakers are in sync in a multi-channel application, be sure that you pick a wireless system that has an audio latency of a few milliseconds at most. Otherwise there will be a noticeable echo type result. Most wireless products operate in the 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. Some products use the less crowded 5.8 GHz frequency band and consequently have less competition from other wireless gadgets.

A third technology utilizes side-reflecting loudspeakers. This option is called sound bars. There are additional speakers located at the front which broadcast the audio for the remote speakers from the front at an angle. The sound is then reflected by walls and seems to be originating from besides or behind the viewer. The effect largely is determined by the shape of the room and interior design and not work well in a lot of real-world scenarios because of different room shapes and obstacles in the room.

Positive Sides Of An Address Book Software

By Marissa Velazquez

Technology has come with many gains. One of such gains comes from the use of different applications. In turn, individuals are able to process information within a short time. With the quick processing, comes efficiency in terms of storing and retrieving certain information or data. This capability of accessing information within a short time without having to go through files is possible through using an address book software.

It goes without mention that keeping client records in files is cumbersome and bulky at the same time. It wastes a lot of space and does not present the effectiveness that clients want. While it may take a long time to retrieve a given information from physical file, the same process only takes seconds to do so while using a relevant application like the one above.

With the use of the above programs, businesses and people will be able to keep track of important dates that involve their clients. In order to make it effective, the different programs have reminders that one can set in order to give a notification hours or days before the exact date. This step means that it is not possible for one to forget about important appointments and meetings.

The availability of different features in the programs mentioned above is a good thing. Not only does it allow users to perform different tasks, but also customize them the way they want. The customized version is always interesting to use. It gives a user the feeling of being in control of the system. Some of the common features that people want to include are file attachments and tables.

If you want your business to remain competitive given the entrance of many firms into the business sector, you will have to use the application mentioned in this piece of work. Such a program presents very many plus sides that one cannot compare with the old way of keeping customer and client details in files. The use of files can cause delays when looking for a given detail.

It is usually effective to have the details of a given person under one contact name. The most common type of such information include the phone number, postal and email addresses of clients. This feature makes it easy to communicate with the people you want using different channels without the need to go looking for such details from different locations.

The other gain that a user stands to gain while using the application above is that it can handle as many contacts as possible. One will not need to look for another application to store the ever-growing number of contacts when the business expands. This is a good thing since all the contacts will remain in one location despite their large number.

It will be unfair if one compares the use of files in storing client details and the use of the latest address book software. The latter is far much better than the former. It is fast and effective in all ways. One does not spend too much time looking for a particular detail.

Joy in Programming

I responded to a post on another blog (http://blogten.blogspot.com/2009/05/wards-comment.html) about how someone complained that the Smalltalk programming language permits the programmer too much freedom and that its "too easy." The argument against being easy is that if its too easy the programmer will be able to rush into creating software that is designed poorly. I have a hard time believing it is ever a benefit that something is hard to do. I think this applies to languages like BASIC so Im copying what I posted there below.

Freedom is essential if you want to live life to the full, and not just in software development. We need to teach what is the best way to live in freedom, not impose a tyranny of suffocating "safety". If we dont build a culture of discipline and excellence then we deserve what we get. If we impose tons of rules to in an effort to prevent people from making mistakes we risk making software development such a burden that few people will want to do it anymore. It should be possible for software development to be an enjoyable activity, and for innovation and discovery to be experienced by newbies and experts. Joy is important in life.

Perhaps I oversimplify, but I hope this communicates an important idea effectively.

One of the factors you need to consider when looking for repairmen is a warranty. Good firms will give you a warranty of not less than 30 days. If the device develops a fault within that period you can have it returned to the professionals. They will have another look at it and you will not be charged for the service.

A good firm should have excellent customer service. The technicians should explain to you the fault as well as the kind of maintenance that will be performed on your device. Any questions that you may have should be addressed properly. The phone should also be shipped according to your preferences. Most of the problems that iPhones have can be fixed by visiting a repair shop. Some of the most common problems include broken glass, water damage, battery problem, problems with the buttons as well as speaker malfunctions.

Most of these parts are easily replaceable. Some can be fixed instead of being replaced. Before you dispose your phone you should seek repair services. This option is recommended because it is cheaper and it gets your device working like it is new again.

It is advisable to take your time when looking for decent service providers. You can get referrals from colleagues and friends. You can also visit an Apple store for advice. IPhone repair services are easily available. All you need is to do a little research so that you can identify the best service providers.

Think You Know Everything About Cell Phones Think Again

By Josiah Talamas

A cell phone can be your best friend or your worst enemy. You can use it to stay connected on the go, away from home. On the other hand, you might find yourself getting smacked with huge data bills and headaches from trying to figure out the technology. Be at peace with your cell phone by using the following tips.

Beware of areas with poor cell phone reception. A bad signal is not just annoying, it is also a real drain on your battery. Even if youre not using your cell phone, having it turned on in an area that gets poor cell phone reception can drain your battery completely.

Dont decide your phone is broken just because you got it wet. Just take the battery out and put it into a bowl full of rice. Doing so soaks up excess moisture that may have seeped into your smartphone.

Check online reviews before buying your cell phone. There are lots of new phones coming on the market all the time, and it is sometimes difficult to know which is best for you. By checking online reviews, you can see what features various phones offer, as well as how much other people like them. This can help you to make an educated decision.

Consider purchasing a used phone if you are looking to upgrade before your contract allows you to. This is often less expensive than buying new, and you will not be locked in to a specific contract period. Just make sure your provider supports the phone you want to buy, and that you can easily add it to your plan.

Keep your phone close to a signal. Burying your phone in a purse or desk drawer can impact the signal strength. When the phone works harder to gain a strong signal, your battery life will drop. Keep the phone in a place where it can easily reach signal and you will keep your battery up.

Consider doing a little negotiation on the cell phone price. Yes, you can negotiate in most cell phone stores. And it sometimes even works! It may not be for cost savings either. You could try and negotiate a download case with the purchase of the new cell phone. You dont know until you try.

If you only use your cell phone with wi-fi in your home, then you may want to consider dropping that expensive data plan attached to your smart phone. Sure this isnt for everyone. But if you only use that phone for talking, then why pay the additional (and expensive) data costs?

When buying a newer cellphone, take time to compare phones in actual physical stores. Putting just a few hours one afternoon can mean learning a lot about different models, plans and features. That way, you are more likely to get something you love.

Utilize the voice to text feature on your phone to save time and be safe on the road. This will allow you to convert the words that you say to a text message instantaneously. If you do not have this feature on your smartphone, you can add software like ReQall which will employ it.

Know the cell phone laws in your state when it comes to driving. In many states, its illegal to text on a cell phone and drive. Even if its technically legal in your state, its still not a good idea. Many accidents occur due to text messaging. If you must communicate, call using a hands-download device or pull off the road to text.

If you tend to use a lot of data with your cell phone, look for cell phone browsers that compress data usage. One that does this is Googles mobile Chrome browser. Surfing using Chrome can lower your total data usage by 10% to 20% easily. This can save you money month after month.

Playing mobile games can cure boredom and add some much needed excitement to your day. Youd be surprised at the quality of the games out there for cell phones. Be sure that you dont put too many games onto your cell phone because it can cause problems with the memory.

With these tips, using your cell phone will come a lot easier. Use this information to guide you in your quest for the right cell phone. This will help you to save time, money and energy.

Creating a Simple Visitor Counter in PHP

Visitor counter is an easy way to track number of visitors coming to a web
site, while sophisticated trackers can give detailed statistics of visitors,
a simple visitor counter like the one we’re going tot create, would only
track the number of times a web page (or site) has been requested.

A simple visitor counter which only tracks number of pageloads is very easy
to create. It is obvious that the number of pageloads has to be preserved across
different runs so we need to store that data in a Database or file. To ease
things we’ll use a file.

Every time the page (with the script) is requested the value (number of pageloads)
will be read from and incremented in the file. The initial value in the file
should be 0.

Here is the code:

<?php

//function

function showCounter()


{

    //open the file in read & write mode


    $fp=fopen("counter.txt","r+");


    //fetch pageload data


    $pageloads=(int)fgets($fp,20);


    //increment it


    $pageloads++;


    //seek to the start of file


    fseek($fp,0);


    //write the new value


    fputs($fp,$pageloads);




    //printf function is used to pad the 


    //pageload value, to make it look


    //good

    return (printf("<h1><span style="color: #fff; 


                background: #000;">%010d


                </span></h1>",$pageloads));


}

?>

Save this file with the name ‘counter.php’.

For this script to run you first need to create a file named ‘counter.txt’
with the value ‘0’ in the same directory the script is in.

Everything in the code above looks familiar except these lines:

function showCounter()


{

Well, this is how we create functions in PHP. Unlike C/C++ we don’t need
to mention the return type of the function but the function-name should be preceded
with the keyword ‘function’. You may return value of any data type
from the function.

We have employed this method as to make it easier to integrate the visitor
counting script to existing web pages. If suppose we have an existing web page
named index.php, we can easily integrate this script as follows:

<?php include counter.php; ?>


<html>

<head><title>Counter Example</head>

</head>

<body>

<h1>My Web Site</h1>

<?php showCounter(); ?>

</body>

</html>


Simple! We’re just including the script at the top to make the function
available and at the bottom we’re calling the showCounter() functions
to show visitor counter.

Realational Operator

When we write program, many time we requirement to comparison of two or more data, in that case we uses relational operators. There are following relational operators as following : 

Operators    Name

    >      Greater than

    <      Less than

    =      Equals  to

    >=     Greater than equals to
    <=     Less than equals to

    !=     Not equals to

The syntax of relational expression as :

<data value 1>Relational operator<data value 2>

Example :

10 >= 5

-50 <= 1

0 != 0

Out of control!

On a Java project that I work on part time we use the Eclipse IDE, which is a power tool for Java programming. Java itself gets hard to deal with once your software gets to a certain size, and Eclipse tries to do a lot of the hard work for you. Java would be unusable without such tools.

On the flipside to this, we had been using an older version of Eclipse. Ultimately we decided to upgrade to a newer version (but not the latest) because we wanted to use Subversion instead of CVS for our source code control.

One of my colleages decided to attack the upgrade and document what was needed for everyone to use the new version. It seemed like it took him many days to figure it all out. The new version didnt look too much difference on the surface, but I kept hearing groans from him. Clearly something wasnt going well, so I went over and asked him what was the matter. His answer was simply, "I cant figure out how to do things that I used to know how to do!" The new software was getting bigger and more complicated.

Theres a balance to strike when developing software. Its hard to make software easy to use while also adding new features.

History of C

A Brief History of C++

The C++ programming language was introduced by Bjarne Stroustrup of the AT&T laboratories in 1985 as an extension of C, with additional features borrowed from the esoteric language Simula. Since then, C++ has grown rapidly in response to the practical need for a programming language that is able to efficiently handle composite and diverse data types. The language implementation is pivoted on the ingenious about of object oriented programming (OOP). Today, C++ dominates the commercial market and is favored among system programmers and application developers.

C++ is a generalization of C, but accomplishes much more than C, to the extent that it should be regarded, studied, and taught as a separate language. It is neither necessary nor recommended to study C as a prerequisite of C++, though knowledge of C can be helpful.
