xcode
Sep 2nd
What makes a good app?
With all the different environments available for programmers, it is interesting to note that xcode is one of the most miss understood programming methods out there, it is not surprising, apple does not go out of its way to explain, or even make it understandable.
In the forums you will notice a lack of empathy toward the beginning user, it is even apparent that official reply are far and few between, in recent changes to the SDK, software development kit, terms of use, many thousands of developers found that they could no longer support the apple platform.
This created a lot of bad press and even more bad feelings among the very people that had supported apple when apple was not as popular as it is today.
In some of these miss begotten, terms, you can allegedly only use “certain approved” programming techniques.
This is not a good way to encourage the creative process.
As a result the forums have become literal ghost towns, with fewer and fewer participants.
If SJ wants people to start using Xcode, I think they will need to put a little of their mouth behind the growth of the tool into a more Object oriented offering, such as many more modern tools have already made available to its user base.
One thing for sure, unless apple changes its ways, one of the things you will be getting with your apple products will allegedly be worms.

Updating content
Aug 30th
How not updating your website daily could cost you more than you ever thought possible.
How important is updating your website?
Would you say that it should be updated every week or once a month?
The truth may shock you, the truth may be more than you may want to know.
Would you be surprised to learn that you should update the content on your website every day in fact several times a day would be best. You can over do it, but the trends seem to indicate that updating your website with fresh and interesting content is very beneficial to your websites value to readers and customers.
The facts are that most website operators fail to update their websites on a regular basis because it is time consuming, of the top 20 million websites, only a few are actually counted when looking at Alexa for traffic statistics, actual traffic analysis is not available until you reach the 999 thousand websites, that is not easy to do for most websites.
The very fact that we are talking about most websites ranking amount the top three million says something about the sheer number of websites there are out there these days.
With so many websites, and so much content, how do you stay ahead of your competition?
That is the basis of this article, how updating your website effects your rankings on the internet and how it can help your business to have more traffic.
First we should say a few things about how a websites value is obtained, it is a top secret thing for many search engines, however, there are some factors that are known and some that are unknown.
Naturally it is not in the interest for a search engine to publish its search characteristics, because then people would be tempted to game the system to obtain results usually reserved only for high budget, corporate websites that spend lots of money on advertising.
So it is a easy to see why the search engines want to protect the way they make money from large corporate clients that clearly can spend millions of dollars every year doing business online.
The facts here say that updating your website will help you, but how much and how often that is the real question. We setup several websites from scratch and tested this out, on some websites we setup the content and just left it alone just to see what would happen.
On other websites, we updated them monthly.
On still other websites we updated them weekly.
Finally we updated some websites every day.
The results are clear, the more you update with fresh content the more traffic you receive and the better your website is indexed in the search engines. We took a hard look to not just at the one website but at the others too, the ones that were less frequently updated received less traffic, they received less of everything in fact.
So, again, the more you update your content with fresh content and new content, the better your website will perform, the problem here and this is a big deal is that most people do not have the time to devote to updating a website, it takes time and effort.
That is why we started using plugins to adapt the time we had so that we could produce better results in less time…
The results is in for this test too, the more we used the plugins, the better results we received, we also learned a great deal about what constitutes updating, for example just updating the time and day was not enough.
We tested several websites where there was content which is commonly referrred to as an auto blog or auto posting website.
These websites performed poorly in fact many could scarcly produce even one or two traffic visits per day.
Business Software
Aug 30th
Business software generally means software programs that can be used by business and companies to carry out business activities, or to increase or measure their business productivity.
Business software solutions is usually custom made software for specific business purposes such as railway and airline ticketing systems or billing and inventory control system for department stores.
Business software can do away with any type of business activity such as cash transactions, receipts, issues, returns, rejections, interests, and depreciation, which entail final accounts, profit and loss accounts, balance-sheet etc.
A computer machine and business software are interdependent, with computer technology becoming more advanced with each new software addition. Nowadays even a tiny business entity tends to use small business software for its easy to handle and ready to use features. Many of the business software are plug and play type for which no special computer knowledge is essential. However, for complex calculations, tedious programming and special technical training, business software with learning tools is exceptionally helpful.
IT companies on the other hand sometimes use business software for training purposes, enabling modern technologies like medical transcription.
The business software market is a billion dollar industry today and any one with a sound knowledge of the system can make his or her own earnings very easily.

What Is Software?
Aug 27th
The term software has transformed the lives of everyone in the world in one way or another.
All our activities are influenced by software and related applications.
Mobile phones, hi-tech watches and music player are some of the most common software driven gadgets.
Software is that part of a system that consists of encoded information or instructions while the hardware is used to store and process the information.
In the computer Running software is usually fairly easy.
It is loaded into RAM (random access memory) and it is then executed in the central processing unit (CPU). You can understand it as a basic relationship between a hardware and software. Software is an ordered sequence of instructions that is used to change the state of the computer hardware. The language of software is a matter of great interest because it is regulated by high-level programming languages.
To understand the software applications completely, it is necessary to know the types of software.
System software helps in the running of the computer hardware and computer software. You can buy this complete package from the market that includes operating systems, device drivers, diagnostic tools, servers, window systems and utilities. If you are a programmer then Programming software is a complete tool that you can use in writing computer programs using different programming languages. This package includes text editors, compilers, interpreters, linkers and debuggers. A major contribution in the field of software comes through Application software. They are a different kind of application software in domestic space. It includes industrial automation, business software, educational software, medical software, computer games and database.
There are many aspects of software and the depth of software and its applications can be intensely deep, Platform software and user written software are the two main integrations of software.
Platform software is a combination of basic input-output system, device drivers, and operating system while some of the user written software is spreadsheet templates, word processor macros, scientific simulations and graphic and animation scripts.
Shareware and freeware are two more concepts which allow the marketing of software, shareware is a trial version (demo) of any application that is made available in the market in advance so that you can have a look at the features and function before the final purchase. Though shareware is not for free, it is available at a very low price. Freeware is the computer software that is made available to the consumers, free of charge.
The Software industry is still young and it definitely still one of the most profitable methods of marketing online, it helps you save time and money by making your job easier, that is what software can do for you and your company.
WordPress
Aug 27th
Standalone or Freestanding…
What kind of software should you have running your website, because it is no longer enough to just have a website you need programming and you need software to make your website stand out in the crowd.
WordPress is a CMS or Content Management System.
Find out what you are missing in your wordpress content, because what you do not know about using wordpress websites will hurt you.
It was created to make it easier for the every day person to create content and to publish that content to the internet, it did not matter if you were a seasoned publisher or if you were just an average Joe or Jane publisher, you could setup and publish a website using wordpress.
WordPress is considered by many to be the most popular publishing system out there and deservedly so.
This is why this website is a wordpress website, you can skin it, (like decorating a home) with what they call themes, which apply through out a website often with the ease of a few mouse clicks.
Google appears to really like wordpress websites, so that is another plus for using this CMS system.
However, when you look under the hood of wordpress you may not really understand what you are seeing, like a complicated super charged race car, most people would be very impressed but understand little about how it worked.
The great thing is that like TV, you do not have to understand it to use it.
WordPress can be used as many different things, part of how versatile it is depends on one part of the system called plug ins.
This involves the use of programming, most often PHP, but it can be a combination of technologies, the nature of plugins can be used to adapt a wordpress website and instantly turn it into something very powerful.
It can also be used for both good and bad, so beware of some of the free plugins, out there, not that we mean to scare you but not all plugin developers are the good guys, but you already knew that were just reminding you that if you walk down a blind alley, at midnight, you might be mugged.
Ok now that you have been warned, lets proceed to the next part.
Plugins are a great way to gain powerful features without having to understand how they work the down side is that you have little or no control over what they do, so you do have to be careful how you use them.
There are literally thousands and thousands of plugins out there, many work just fine but many more do not.
It is common to find that some plugins do not behave correctly, they might have a conflict with other plugins.
I know it is confusing, but if you think of it this way, the parent is wordpress and the children are plugins, often children may not always get along with the other children, they may fight, they may get angry with each other and do things that may cause you grief as the parent or the website operator.
Now you would not just throw out the baby with the bath water, at least most of us would not do that, however you may at some point have to consider the value of a particular plugin if it does not play well with the other more valuable plugins.
We have been using and developing plugins for a long time now and we are still learning every day something different about how they work, that is the way of change, and change is what wordpress is all about.
The day something stops changing, (growing as a product) is the day that it begins to decline.
So the important thing here is that wordpress continues to evolve and part of that evolution is in developing software to use with wordpress websites, this is what we want to do, to provide you the public with plugins that make your life easier, since wordpress by itself is great, we thought that making it even better would be a lot of fun, this is why we started creating wordpress websites like this plugin related website.
Over the next few weeks we will be releasing our well tested plugins, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Securing Your Business Internet Security
Aug 27th
Do you live in the electronic age or the computer age?
Can you operate a remote control?
Seriously, some people seem to be able to figure out those little devices so easily while others struggle.

Knowledge is the most powerful tool you can give your business.
Today, businesses are taking advantage of the Internet to market and sell their products and services. It is now considered a necessity for businesses to integrate the Internet in their operations in order to effectively compete with other businesses and become the best.
The problem with so many small business owners these days is that they just do not understand technology and they do not want people to know they may not be as up on current technology as the next person in line after all they are the boss, they own the business.
This is dangerous because it is pride plain and simple, and you know what happens, when you put pride first, yep that is right it comes before a Fall.

Integrating the Internet in your business will mean increased profits and decreased cost in overall advertising. It will also provide you with more potential customers worldwide.
However, the Internet also has its disadvantages.
Because more and more people are spending their money in the Internet by purchasing products and services, they will also leave traces of their financial and personal information in their computers. Because of this, there are quite a number of people who are also taking advantage of the Internet to steal from other people.
Your business will also be vulnerable to this kind of crime. Although the Internet exposes your company to the world in order to make more money, it will also expose your online business to people and software that aims on destroying your business or steal money from it.
This is why it is important for you to get an internet security program for your online business in order to protect you and your company from malicious softwares and also from people who will want to gain access to your company’s secrets and use it to steal from you.
Today, there are quite a few numbers of Internet security programs that you can take advantage of in order to protect your business computers from adwares, spywares, spam and phishing emails, and also protect your business from hackers.
However, some of the Internet security software available are too weak and can only provide minimum security for your computers. This is why you should look for an Internet security software program that can effectively protect your computer from malicious software circulating the Internet today.
You should consider purchasing an Internet security software program that is designed specifically for online businesses. There are quite a few companies that offer great security for computers. Here are the things you should look for in an Internet security program that you should install in your computer:
• AntiVirus Programs – Since there are quite a lot of viruses circulating the internet today, you should look for an internet security program that offers maximum protection against computer viruses. It should also contain updateable virus definition features in order to help your computer fight new computer viruses popping out in the Internet everyday.
• AntiSpam Software – Phishing and spam emails are very dangerous. A good internet security program should have an antispam software to automatically detect spam and phishing emails and protect your computer from people who wants to take advantage of your online business.
• Website Lock Features – Since your employees may have the urge to download things in the Internet, your Internet security program should provide a website lock feature to prevent your employees from wandering around the Internet and accidentally download files with malicious programs.
• Anti Adware and Spyware – Adwares and spywares can be annoying popup ads.
When you accidentally click on the popup ad, you will automatically install a spyware program. This program is like surveillance equipment that reports to the person who designed the program about the activities you do in your computer.
More importantly there are some serious considerations you should think about when allowing employees to access the internet…
These are some of the things you should look for in an Internet security program. With this, you can be sure that your online business will be secured from hackers, identity thieves, viruses and other malicious software.
