EddyTools : Cutting edge Web Development

scribd is a site where you can store your document eg doc, ppt, pdf, xls, etc and share them with others
Scribd hopes to increase user engagement by getting users invested in the activity of their friends and the figures they admire
Profiles have also changed. Not only does it display your pictures and recent documents, but it provides a public feed of your activity –
once again, like Facebook. More information is on display, including your interests, what you’ve been reading,
and stats like the number of followers you have. And in the middle is the “scribble box,” which is nearly identical to the Facebook publisher box.

The entire thing is a social media makeover. Scribd is trying to break down the walls between documents by encouraging users to become
friends and comment on documents.

WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a specification for a set of communication
protocols to standardize the way that wireless devices, such as cellular telephones
and radio transceivers, can be used for Internet access, including e-mail, the World
Wide Web, newsgroups, and instant messaging.WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
is a method of accessing Internet resources from a mobile phone, which does not
use computer and/or modem. In essence it is a technical standard describing a
method, by which information from the Internet is transmitted to the screen of a
mobile phone.  Wireless application protocol (WAP) is an application environment
and set of communication protocols for wireless devices designed to enable
manufacturer-, vendor-, and technology-independent access to the Internet and
advanced telephony services.

There are many advantages of WAP application:-

1.Portability: A WAP application on one network should be easily portable to a
different environment with little or no change. The alternative to using WAP is to
write applications using proprietary protocols. Such applications will require
substantial code rewriting when porting to a different type of network
(examples of network types are GSM and CDMA), different bearer protocol
(examples of bearer protocols are SMS, short message service or CSD, circuit
switched data), or a new device type.
2.User Experience: WAP aims to enhance the user experience by addressing
characteristics of wireless environment: Narrow bandwidth connection. Devices
with small screens, limited battery use without recharging, limited memory, and
limited processing power.
3.Cost and Application Development Time Reduction: New services can be added
quickly and at a lower cost using WAP. This is made possible by the easy
availability of standardized WAP tools and platforms such as WAP software
development tool kits, WAP gateways, and WAP devices.

In computing, regular expressions provide a concise and flexible means for identifying strings of text of interest, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. A regular expression (often shortened to regex or regexp) is written in a formal language that can be interpreted by a regular expression processor, a program that either serves as a parser generator or examines text and identifies parts that match the provided specification.
Regular expressions can be defined in terms of formal language theory. Regular expressions consist of constants and operators that denote sets of strings and operations over these sets, respectively.

The following examples illustrate a few specifications that could be expressed in a regular expression:
the sequence of characters “car” in any context, such as “car”, “cartoon”, or “bicarbonate”
the word “car” when it appears as an isolated word
the word “car” when preceded by the word “blue” or “red”
a dollar sign immediately followed by one or more digits, and then optionally a period and
Uses of regular expressions
Regular expressions are useful in the production of syntax highlighting systems, data validation, and many other tasks.
While regular expressions would be useful on search engines such as Google, Live Search or Yahoo! Search, processing them across the entire database could consume excessive computer resources depending on the complexity and design of the regex.

Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance.[2] It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.[3]

The unveiling of the Android platform on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 48 hardware, software, and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.[4][5] Google released most of the Android code under the Apache License, a free-software and open source license.[6]
Android had been criticized for not being all open-source software despite what was announced by Google. Parts of the SDK are proprietary and closed source.[24][25] The Android Software Development Kit License Agreement[26] states that:

On 30 April 2009, the official 1.5 update for Android was released.[28][29] There are several new features and UI updates included in the 1.5 update:

Ability to record and watch videos with the camcorder mode
Uploading videos to YouTube and pictures to Picasa directly from the phone
A new soft keyboard with an “Autocomplete” feature
Ability to automatically connect to a Bluetooth headset within a certain distance
New widgets and folders that can populate the desktop
Animations between screens
Expanded ability of Copy and paste to include web pages[30]

Handset layouts The platform is adaptable to larger, VGA, 2D graphics library, 3D graphics library based on OpenGL ES 1.0 specifications, and traditional smartphone layouts.
Storage The Database Software SQLite is used for data storage purposes
Connectivity Android supports connectivity technologies including GSM/EDGE, CDMA, EV-DO, UMTS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
Messaging SMS and MMS are available forms of messaging including threaded text messaging.
Web browser The web browser available in Android is based on the open-source WebKit application framework.
Java support

httpd.conf is a configuration file which is used by the Apache HTTP Server.
It stores information on various functions of the server, which can be edited by removing or adding a number sign “#”
at the beginning of the line, thus setting values for each directive.The httpd.conf file can be located on any UNIX-based system that complies with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard under the following path: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.This file, httpd.conf was once used in Microsoft’s Internet Information Services

A payment gateway is an e-commerce application service provider service that

authorizes payments for e-businesses, online retailers, bricks and clicks, or

traditional brick and mortar. It is the equivalent of a physical point of sale

terminal located in most retail outlets. Payment gateway protects credit cards

details encrypting sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, to ensure

that information passes securely between the customer and the merchant and also

between merchant and payment processor.

LAMP is an open source Web development platform that uses Linux as the
operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the relational database
management system and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language
Linux is an open source and constantly evolving operating system which allows the
administrator full control over almost every system aspect.
Apache , a powerful and well documented webserver application, handles
the actual web page serving.
MySQL is a database server that holds content for many things.A database server
allows a webmaster to keep data organized and accessible. Database driven
websites are now becoming more prevalent as users demand dynamic and
customizable websites.
PHP is a relatively new server side programming language which allows
webmasters to easily add dynamic pages to their website. PHP is extremely
versatile, as it can do everything from printing database data to a webpage to
declaring browser cookies.

This technology allows the user of a web browser to execute a program on the
web server, and to thereby receive dynamic as well as static content. Programmers
used scripting languages with these programs because of their ability to
manipulate text streams easily and efficiently, even when they originate from
disparate sources. For this reason system designers often referred to such
scripting systems as glue languages. Withal, a bundle of free software could
provide a viable alternative to commercial packages.
LAMP is thus a very reliable and widely used web application and development
platform that is freely available. It is a platform that enables the user to develop
and deploy simple as well as complex database driven websites on the server.
Several noteworthy advantages of LAMP are that it is low costing, reliable,
scalable and secure web applications. The best part about this technology is that it
can be used for websites of all kinds whether large or small.
