Android – Apps without borders

Watch Android engineers demonstrate that applications on Android exist without borders. Apps on Android can access core mobile device functionality through standard APIs. Through intents, apps can announce their capabilities for other apps to use.

Recently we have got to a site called alpha software somewhere through google , found some very interesting funny pages there.

This Alphasoftware claims they are 10x-50x more efficient than the other scripting languages

and you can see more of this crap on their site http://www.alphasoftware.com/ )

But i dont get the exact reason why they use asp themselves for their homepage

http://www.alphasoftware.com/about/contact.asp

some people might argue that This is not asp , and they might have spoofed the extension with help of their web server mime configurations but Look at this

http://www.alphasoftware.com/resources/it_related_9.asp and take rest!

why do they use asp that is 10x less effiecient or slower than their AlphaSoftware.

Some more of their technology

“Application Hosting

Once you have built your web application, the next step is to host or deploy your application to the Internet or intranet so that remote users can access your application via a browser. “

So you need to buy all these

Alpha version 5, application server and a runtime

it will cost you Very minimum of 1097 $ (very cheaper than php which i got for free)

https://www.alphasoftware.com/shop/AlphaFive/index.asp?UserType=new&RTSEL=0&V8SEL=0&WASSEL=0

Making some software that eases the people’s hard tedious work is always good but yelling stuff like 100x faster than this,that ,everything makes us look bad of them.

look at this

“Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, FileMaker, PHP, ASP, JSP, Cold Fusion all have merit, but none can match the combination of power and simplicity that is the trademark of all Alpha Software solutions.”

Why ? i find ruby on rails / cakephp a lot easier than this stuff after seeing few of their demos,etc

and finaly their product doesnt look that impressive decide for yourself )

http://afas.alphasoftware.com/SamplePages/

we are not encouraging them so we didnt provide any link to there website

If you people would like to share some about this you can comment here, make it more fun!.

We are in an OpenSource world. We use opensource products everyday. Atleast once in web life. Most of the servers are *nix based. More than 93% of webservers are Apache.

You know how valuable OpenSource products are. Ok, Ever you donated a single buck to an OpenSource project/developer in your life? Atleast 1% of your income based on that product?

The frank answer is “NO” from most of you. Why this world is having SourceForge.net / RubyForge.net / Wikipedia / Apache / Linux / GNU / Joomla / PHPBB / …

It is a huge list…

I know some good people, who donates 10$ at least.. How about you my friend?

PHP Tutorial for people who is going to develop some real-time applications in PHP-MySQL . I am not going to say what is a variable and what is “for” loop syntax. If you want to know very basic about php then go to Zend PHP Tutorials . My tutorial is fully application based.

I assume that you know basic programming knowledge in php. Like for loop, while loop, session & mysql database connectivity.

Ok we are just going to develop one login system now.

What are the steps?

1. Get username & Password from user
2. Validate them
3. If valid then let user to use the system
4. else show an error message

These are basic considerations.

We can achieve this by writing a single php file.

1. PHP login form design

Design notes: Use tables to show form fields in aligned manner.

Code for simple table with 6 cells

<table width=”300″ border=”0″>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>

I hope you know for printing a blank space. Enclose the table tags with a form tag.

<form id=”form1″ name=”form1″ method=”post” action=”login.php”>
<table width=”300″ border=”0″>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Note: action = “login.php” login.php is current file name. you can change its name.

<form id=”form1″ name=”form1″ method=”post” action=”login.php”>
<table width=”300″ border=”0″>
<tr>
<td>Username</td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”username_field” /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”password_field” /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><input type=”submit” name=”login” value=”Login” /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Note: input type=”password” because Password field will carry password characters.

You know these are just <html> tags.

<?php
$username = $_POST[‘username_field’];
$password = $_POST[‘password_field’];
$user = “user1”;
$pass = “123456”;
If(($username == $user) && ($password == $pass))
Echo(“Welcome $username<br>”);
Else
Echo(“Incorrect username/password<br>”);
?>

Note: $_POST[‘username_field’]; and $_POST[‘password_field’]; are POST method values. $user & $pass are variables which holds the username/password.

This is not a full login system. This is for showing how it will be.
