Cupertino, CA — February 24, 2010 — Zend Technologies, the PHP Company, today announced the general availability of Zend Server 5.0, a major new version of the company’s PHP Web application server. New Code Tracing technology in Zend Server 5.0 enables PHP developers and administrators to slash problem resolution time by up to 50%. For the first time, users have visibility into the behavior of their code in production environments, with the ability to pinpoint the root cause of application issues quickly and eliminate the time-consuming and sometimes near impossible task of recreating problems in order to resolve them.

“Zend Server 5.0 is a huge step forward for businesses running business-critical PHP Web applications,” said Andi Gutmans, CEO and co-founder at Zend. “With this new version we are delivering application monitoring and diagnostics as part of the base application server at no additional cost. The new Code Tracing technology revolutionizes how businesses can reduce time spent on problem resolution. This and other enhancements will help businesses deliver reliable high-performance applications and maximize end-user satisfaction while reducing development and management time and costs.”

English may have emerged as the international language of business and, subsequently, as the default language of the World Wide Web, but consider this: 75% of the world’s population speaks no English whatsoever.

With this in mind, the need for businesses to talk to international customers in their own language can’t be overstated. Even though English is the most widely spoken second language, the fact remains that most consumers will search for products or services in their native tongue first.

So for any business looking to go global and tackle new or emerging markets, the need to ‘think local’ means you should be aware of the multitude of cultural and linguistic complexities that you will face when entering foreign markets.

For example, the French in France and the French in Canada (Québéquois) is largely the same, but there are enough dialectal differences between the two forms of French to mean that distinct marketing strategies are essential when targeting each market.

In this tutorial We will create realtime chart data update that reflect to price fluctuation. There are many solutions to do this, but now we will cover using a nice flash charting component called FusionCharts. FusionCharts comes with several edition, but now we will use the FusionCharts Free version. You can download it from http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/. By the time of this writing, FusionCharts Free version is 2.2.

fusioncharts

The price fluctuation is visualized with a line type chart and data will be fetched from database every 5 seconds using Ajax call and then display the latest 5 (five) data to the chart without any page refresh. We assume you already familiar with deploying the FusionCharts Free and have experience using prototype.js, since we don’t explain every details of the tools we used in this article. Please refer to FusionCharts Free documentation about deploying the chart and prototype.js documentation about the usage of the library.

Let’s do it

1. You have to download the FusionCharts Free version, extract it, and copy the chart FCF_Line.swf (from the Chart folder) to your web root folder.
2. Copy FusionCharts.js (from JSClass folder) to your web root folder.
3. Download prototype.js from www.prototypejs.org and save it as prototype.js on your web root folder. We will use prototype.js to do the Ajax call.
4. Now prepare the table to store the fictional price fluctuation. Here is the simple table structure. We only need 2 (two) fields.

Google released a new security tool Skipfish; a fully automated, active web application security reconnaissance tool. It prepares an interactive sitemap for the targeted site by carrying out a recursive crawl and dictionary-based probes. The resulting map is then annotated with the output from a number of active (but hopefully non-disruptive) security checks. The final report generated by the tool is meant to serve as a foundation for professional web application security assessments.

Skipfish key features :

- High speed: pure C code, highly optimized HTTP handling, minimal CPU footprint – easily achieving 2000 requests per second with responsive targets.
- Ease of use: heuristics to support a variety of quirky web frameworks and mixed-technology sites, with automatic learning capabilities, on-the-fly wordlist creation, and form autocompletion.
- Cutting-edge security logic: high quality, low false positive, differential security checks, capable of spotting a range of subtle flaws, including blind injection vectors.

The second version 1.1 beta have just been released few hours ago. Available for Linux, FreeBSD 7.0+, MacOS X, and Windows (via Cygwin); under terms and conditions of the Apache License, version 2.0.

Sympal is a CMS built on top of the latest version of Symfony, 1.4 and requires PHP 5.2.4+. It is designed to take advantage of all the great existing features Symfony already provides and it builds on top of these existing features using the plugin architecture.

It is made up of multiple plugins and also bundles some existing Symfony plugins developed by third parties. Sympal was built to be unobtrusive and plug n’ play so you can use only the individual things you want!

sympal dashboard

Sympal is introduced as CMF and not a CMS, whereas you can find a comparison to some popular CMS such Joomla, Drupal and Typo3. Most notable features that other CMS don’t have are the underlying OS Framework, MVC architecture, ORM, and a command line interface; while Sympal lack mainly of workflow functionality.

Adobe announced the availability of Adobe Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 to improve rich Internet application (RIA) development for developers, enterprise IT departments and independent software providers in the rapidly growing PHP community, and Zend is part of the story.

“By including Zend Framework within Flash Builder 4, we are allowing enterprise PHP developers to easily introspect PHP classes using the powerful new data-centric development capabilities within Flash Builder,” said Bryant Macy, director of product marketing at Adobe. “Building RIAs just got easier for PHP developers with Zend technologies and the Flash Platform.”

Using the Adobe Flash Platform with PHP

Zend and Adobe have been working together to deliver an integrated solution for building rich Internet applications based on the Adobe Flash Platform, including Flex 4 and Adobe Flash Builder 4. Adobe Flash Builder 4 and Zend Studio 7 are both based on Eclipse version 3.5, providing PHP developers with one Integrated Development Environment for developing and debugging both the front- and back-ends of PHP and Flex-based applications.

Zend Framework AMF Support

Zend Framework with Action Message Format support (Zend AMF) is bundled with Adobe Flash Builder 4, providing an open, binary, high-speed format for rapid client-server data exchange. Zend AMF also helps ensure scalability of RIAs, especially as data load increases, while simultaneously reducing development time

Netsh giúp các quản trị viên mạng cấu hình các thiết lập mạng thông qua tiện ích dòng lệnh. Tuy nhiên trong các phiên bản mới của Windows, tiện ích này có một số lệnh khác. Trong bài này chúng tôi muốn đề cập đến các lệnh mới trong Netsh về WLAN trong Windows 7 và Server 2008 R2 cho các bạn.

Network Shell (Netsh) là một tiện ích dòng lệnh xuất hiện từ thời Windows 2000, tiện ích này có nhiệm vụ trợ giúp cho các quản trị viên mạng quản lý các thiết lập mạng trong Windows. Cũng từ thời điểm đó, nó cũng dần dần được cải thiện: Nhiều tập lệnh mới đã được bổ sung theo thời gian. Cho ví dụ, tập lệnh WLAN được bổ sung vào Windows Vista và Server 2008 có thể cung cấp các lệnh giúp quản lý các thiết lập bảo mật và kết nối không dây 802.11. Giờ đây, với Windows 7 và Server 2008 R2, chúng ta hãy đi xem xét các lệnh mới về WLAN của nó.

Cần nhớ rằng, các lệnh Netsh không chỉ cho phép bạn cấu hình máy tính nội bộ mà còn cho phép bạn cấu hình nhiều máy tính bằng cách sử dụng các kịch bản đăng nhập.

Một khía cạnh quan trọng khác cần phải nhớ là profile mạng không dây luôn ở trạng thái “read-only”. Bạn không thể xóa hoặc thay đổi chúng bằng các lệnh Netsh WLAN, tuy nhiên chúng lại có thể được export và import. Profile không dây có thể được tạo và thay đổi thông qua Windows GUI thông thường.

Bắt đầu với Netsh

Nếu chưa từng sử dụng Netsh bạn cũng không cần phải quá bận tâm vì tính đơn giản và dễ sử dụng của tiện ích này. Chỉ cần làm xuất hiện cửa sổ Command Prompt bằng cách kích Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Bạn cũng có thể chỉ cần đánh cmd vào trường tìm kiếm trong Start Menu và nhấn Enter trong Windows Vista hoặc Windows 7. ::Full content::
