Most software companies run in that dilemma. In order to write software that works, you want to write some tests. The question for many of these companies is: what kind of tests are most efficient for my business?
Here we talk about seven common test practices in the software industry.
Probably the most used form of testing is Unit Testing. This is easy to write and very effective in discovering bugs. If you are looking at verifying correctness, this is 100% what you need to have to test your software.
In most cases, Unit ...
CSS is improving with the introduction of CSS3.
Contrary to the previous version, CSS3 supports selections that are very advanced, offering capabilities close to what you could write in JavaScript.
Today I wanted to talk about the Media Queries because that can be used to very much optimize the list of links used to load your CSS data.
In HTML, you can use a <link ...> to add a CSS file to your page.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
In this case, the file style.css will always be loaded, whatever the media being used.

Strengthen the formatting with CCK fields so all declarations look alike.
Broken up the actions from one large table to a set of pages.
Started work on the Load() feature of the SSWF library. This helped fixing several small mistakes in the documentation.

This is a quite interesting article which I thought I should share and keep a copy of!
Most of us, even if we can determine whether a piece of software (or hardware!) can be hacked, we just do not have the time to spend on testing each device we use to ensure that no hackers will be able to get it. We rely on the manufacturer to do that work for us.
This article shows that even though all manufacturers have protections, all are vulnerable! And that means your data is vulnerable on your cell phones... Hope this does not scare you too much!
Note by the way that those people who have plenty of ...
This year, 2008, I decided to register and go to LinuxWorld. It is in August and my kids are not at school so it was easy to manage. Also, I had to go to the French consulate to get a birth certificate for my daughter. In other words, I had the chance to do two things at once!
I found it quite interesting to hear that many people were not too excited about the event. Many of the people walking around are like me: they themselves sell their own Linux solution. In other words, they are not going to be customers. I had the chance to talk with Roger Levi, the Vice President of the Open Platform ...
I’m writing this blog after meeting with a few people with great experience at the NCAE networking group in Roseville.
I have been in business for quite some time now and I have read many things about goals. But what is a goal? How do you set a goal? How do you make sure that you reach your goals?
So, let’s start by setting a goal.
“I want a home worth $1.2 million dollars”
Ah! Is that really a goal?
