The growing market demands that everybody who wishes to expand their business online must own professionally designed website. As a fact, an attractive website can drive huge traffic to the website thereby increasing the business. According to a survey conducted, most of the professional designers design simple yet creative websites as they believe in a notion that website designing is an art that is based on few important pillars. Easy to understand, creative in designing websites brings a great competition.
From the perspective of the designer, the creativity added to the websites can undoubtedly help you in achieving a competitive edge over your rivals. But for such a thing to happen, one needs to put his/her specialization that is required for designing theme based website. Moreover, all web designers strive hard to create unique websites templates for attracting clients. The five important pillars on which the art of creative designing depends are simplicity, creativity, user-friendly approach, capability and accessibility.
* The first thing that should be kept in mind is the simplicity. Everybody looks for the website that is easy to understand and relate. The more specific and simple the website is the more traffic it generates. Besides this, also outline the messages of importance clearly.
* Creativity is another important feature of web designing. The creativity lies in designing structure, creating an appeal for the website, specific, layout decorating, etc. Such creative factors will help you boost your website traffic.
* Search Engine friendliness plays a vital role in the traffic circulation of a website. If your website is user-friendly and can be accessed easily, then it can help in rapid growth of your business.
* Designer’s capability in designing a website is a major part of the website designing. How much a web designer is capable of designing? Does he holds years of expertise or is he a fresher? He or she must have an idea of market demand and understand how it could fight over the rival’s website.

Designing websites is a creative process and it isn’t easy at all to get started if your don’t have the right ideas, inspiration and tools available. There are several different ways you can approach the design process and depending on what type of design task you’re facing some have pros and some have cons. If you’re designing a lot of pages for a complex application for a customer that requires to approve the usability and easy of use early an ongoing it may be a good idea to start with a mock-up (simple html page hierarchy with minimal design to start with). If on the other hand you’re designing a blog theme with a very sophisticated layout containing many textures and images it may be much better to start the design process in an application like Photoshop. This is the approach this article covers end to end by presenting you with more than 160 high quality Tutorial that guides you step by step in building up a web interface all the way from scratch. The article will take some time to download because of the many images!
Actually I don’t think that most people will have to be attend design courses or Photoshop training any more to learn the basics; most people can be self-taught thanks to the many generous experts willing to share their tricks in free online tutorials.
Once your design is finished you need to get it sliced up and converted into web markup. This is where it gets though for people that are not programmers and professional web designers.

If you’re in any doubt that adding geotagging to Twitter is a good idea, the latest survey from Novarra has found that microblogging services are driving the use of the mobile Internet.
In the past year, mobile usage of URL shortening services such as bit.ly and tinyurl.com — near-essential for sharing links on Twitter — has leapt by 1,068%, while page views of Twitter grew by 3,500% in the first half of 2009.
VP of marketing at Novarra, Randy Cavaiani, said that Twitter was a great viral tool for exposing consumers to new and interesting content.
These statistics are bound to be encouraging for those pushing uptake of the mobile Internet, and it’s not too surprising that Twitter is particularly popular given that interesting things generally happen when users are mobile.
Increased functionality, such as geotagging, more interesting third-party apps, and more mobile operators opening up Twitter via SMS, should propel Twitter usage even further.

How To Open Ajax In Browser
- Published on : 25 November 09

It’s not easy task to support both “Load a web page using Ajax” and “Allow to open the same page in browser new tab”. Because we have to manually handle the second option. Let’s see how to solve this task.
Before proceeding, first you have to know why ajax web pages are not able to support the second option.
Reason : when you click a web page link, it will just invoke a javascript method specified in onclick event which loads the page through ajax requests. So here “href” attribute of anchor tag is either empty or “javascript:void(0);”. Due to this we are not able to open the page in new tab.
Sample code for achieving both the actions
* ajax page load
* the same page should be able to open in Browser New Tab by using “Open Link in New Tab” option.
Two operations handled in the web page links(anchor tags),
* invoke the method showPage when u click the link. which means simply onclick event gets fired.
* if u open the same link in new tab, the below sequence of actions will execute.
o # part of href(say, #/blogs/JSON/json-basics.html) has appended to the browser url
o showtab method has invoked beco’z the main page gets loaded. rest will take care of the method showtab

This is the agenda of this presentation. First, I will briefly talk about what we mean by “Rich User Experience” from an end-user standpoint. I will then go over several Rich Internet Application technologies that make rich user experience possible when using Web applications. Then I will spend the rest of the presentation talking about AJAX in a bit more detail. First, I will show you the real-life examples and usage cases of AJAX to give you a sense of how AJAX is currently being used. Then I will talk about a little bit on what is and Why AJAX describing differences between conventional and AJAX-based web applications. Then I will spend sometime talking about the technologies that are used under AJAX-based applications – mainly JavaScript, CSS, DOM, and XMLHttpRequest JavaScript object. We will then spend some time talking about the anatomy of an AJAX operation using an example code. Here we will go over the sequence of things that occur in a typical AJAX-based interaction between a browser and the server. We will then look into the methods and properties of the XMLHttpRequestJavaScript object. We will also learn more about the XMLHttpRequest object. In the latter part of this presentation, I will touch briefly on AJAX security issues. Then I will talk about someJavaScript debugging tools for testing and debugging AJAX applications. I will end this presentations briefly mentioning the current issues of AJAX as a technology and things that will be coming in the future. The topics in this slide are going to be covered in other presentations. The “AJAX Toolkits and Frameworks” presentation covers various types of AJAX toolkits and frameworks that are available today. Then there are presentations that talks about each of these toolkits and frameworks in detail…
The CRU hack

As many of you will be aware, a large number of emails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia webmail server were hacked recently (Despite some confusion generated by Anthony Watts, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Hadley Centre which is a completely separate institution). As people are also no doubt aware the breaking into of computers and releasing private information is illegal, and regardless of how they were obtained, posting private correspondence without permission is unethical. We therefore aren’t going to post any of the emails here. We were made aware of the existence of this archive last Tuesday morning when the hackers attempted to upload it to RealClimate, and we notified CRU of their possible security breach later that day.
Nonetheless, these emails (a presumably careful selection of (possibly edited?) correspondence dating back to 1996 and as recently as Nov 12) are being widely circulated, and therefore require some comment. Some of them involve people here (and the archive includes the first RealClimate email we ever sent out to colleagues) and include discussions we’ve had with the CRU folk on topics related to the surface temperature record and some paleo-related issues, mainly to ensure that posting were accurate.
Since emails are normally intended to be private, people writing them are, shall we say, somewhat freer in expressing themselves than they would in a public statement. For instance, we are sure it comes as no shock to know that many scientists do not hold Steve McIntyre in high regard. Nor that a large group of them thought that the Soon and Baliunas (2003), Douglass et al (2008) or McClean et al (2009) papers were not very good (to say the least) and should not have been published. These sentiments have been made abundantly clear in the literature (though possibly less bluntly).
Adobe Debuts New Flash Tools for Building and Tracking Social Apps

Software giant Adobe has announced the release of a new set of tools based on its Flash Platform, that will give developers new and easier ways to build, deploy and track their apps on the social web’s various application platforms. Adrian Ludwig, group manager for the Flash Platform said that the new Flash Platform Services will “help app developers building on Facebook and other social networks reach a larger audience.”
With the popularity of social networks like Facebook growing rapidly, developing and deploying a application is like tossing a needle in to a needle stack. However using Flash Platform Services, developers will be able to quickly develop and deploy flash applications using in-built tools allowing them to automatically create elements like “share this” buttons, email links and mobile delivery options. Creation of these elements is extremely simple. Since the new tools are component based, therefore adding these features is as simple as dragging and dropping. The Flash components themselves are free, however, Adobe has included a few neat tools and enhanced capabilities that are available on a pay per use basis.
Adobe also announced its partnership with Gigya, the widget distribution service, which will give developers access to usage statistics that are taken from Gigya and then displayed on an Adobe Air interface. This will be available as a separate download. Adobe also plans to release a Flash Platform Services package called Social, that will allow developers a method to create write once, deploy anywhere apps on all major social networking websites.
Basics Of PHP

PHP originally meant “Personal Home Page” in 1995, although now it is generally understood to mean “PHP, Hypertext Processor”. PHP was initially developed to enable interactive web and it has come a long way since its inception. PHP is also an open source high level language, which means it is free and more human friendly than other languages such as Pascal, Python or C.
In order to run PHP you will need to install a webserver such as Apache and a database like MySql. You can easily achieve this by installing software such as WAMP server that will provide you with the development environment required on your laptop or desktop. You need to have a webserver because PHP scripts are executed on the server and not on the client machine. Once you have the webserver or WAMP server set up on your computer you can start coding PHP using a text editor or a more advanced editor that provides PHP support. PHP can be embedded in to basic HTML pages allowing dynamic and interactive content.
PHP also works on the basis of tags and the opening tag is always . You can learn the basic coding syntax by browsing the many tutorials and guides online. PHP can be used to make your website’s interactive content faster, include forms and save data to a database, enhance security and design and develop your website around a system architecture.
