Web projects can store data in many different ways. Effective website projects can therefore involve developing data driven websites and Web applications. Web databases include MySQL and Oracle, both of which developers can create and query using SQL. To build a Web project with a Web database, learners can use server side programming in PHP or ASP, or optionally Java. Many websites now store data in XML format, so Web projects in which learners model and implement XML data structures may also be useful.
Commerce
Anyone working as a Web developer will often work on commercial websites. These vary from simple technologies using automated payment methods such as PayPal, to complex bespoke systems designed using database systems. Any Web project involving secure processing of payments is a good way to familiarize learners with the basic principles in e-commerce development projects. Such projects can optionally include websites with user accounts and registration.
Interactivity
At client side, Web development can involve intense amounts of JavaScript processing to achieve a deep level of interactivity for users. Any Web development project with significant requirements in terms of interactivity may therefore be valuable. As well as implementing website functions manually, developers can learn to use external JavaScript functionality made available through resources such as the jQuery library and associated tools. Working with a third-party interface like this is another common activity for professional developers.
Multimedia
Websites use many different media types. Creating items of the various media formats available is one possible element in a development project. The other aspect of this is learning how best to deploy multimedia items within websites in ways that will make the media content as widely accessible as possible, to users browsing in unpredictable contexts. Tools and technologies involved in multimedia Web development include Adobe Creative Suite and HTML5.
Content Management
Rather than creating a bespoke database and user management system for every client, many Web developers use CMS (Content Management Systems) solutions. Popular CMS options include Joomla, WordPress and Drupal, so using any one of these within a development project should equip learners with the general principles and practices. When a CMS is deployed on a website, it facilitates creation, editing and maintenance of website content. Developers using CMS solutions often need to tailor these to suit the client, including making alterations to both the HTML markup and CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) declarations.

In Feburary 2016 25,
Log in to your Drupal admin interface. You will need your username and password to get in.
Navigate to 'Administer, Reports and then Available updates' to view your modules that have updates available.
Backup your database. This can be done in a variety of ways using phpMyAdmin, phpMyAdminToolKit.Dump or the Drupal database administration module or backup module.
Download and save the code files for any modules you are updating using your FTP access software. Any FTP access software, such as FileZilla, Dreamweaver or Internet Explorer, will work. It is a good idea to back up all the module code files. They are located in 'Root folder, Drupal installation (if in a subfolder otherwise your root folder will be your Drupal installation) and then Modules.' Individual modules will have their own folders within the Modules folder.
Navigate to 'Administer, Site Configuration and then Site Maintenance' in your Drupal interface. Select 'Offline' and click 'Save Configuration' at the bottom to place your site in maintenance mode.
Navigate to 'Administer, Site Building and then Modules.' Uncheck the modules that you need to update to disable them. Click 'Save Configuration' at the bottom.
Navigate to 'Administer, Reports and then Available updates.' Click the download link for each module you need to update and follow the provided instructions for downloading the updated module.

Easy Ways to Put Together a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 22,
In Feburary 2016 22,
Think about the message you want to present before you begin. Think about the content you want to include and where it will come from. You might be writing your own articles and using your own pictures. If you are designing a website for your business, you'll need to decide how you're going to take payment for your product or service. Take a look at the websites you like and don't like. Decide why these websites are enjoyable or what about them frustrates you. Design your website accordingly.
Building Your Website
There are several options for building your website. You don't need expensive web design software or a lot of HTML knowledge. You can find a free WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web design program that works like a word processor. These programs allow you to insert your text and graphics, while the program generates the HTML code for you. CoffeeCup is a free HTML editor. Adobe's Dreamweaver is a good choice for complex web design made easy, but the software can be an expensive option for beginners.If you will be posting photos and graphics to your website, photo editing software is something else you want to consider. You can use a program like Picasa, XnView or Photofiltre (see resources). These are graphic editing tools you can use to prepare your images for the web. They each have extensive editing features and are reliable programs.
Web Hosting Services
Another option for putting together a website easily is to sign up for a free hosting account (see resources). These web hosts not only allow you to display your web pages on the Internet free of charge, they feature built-in tools that make it easy for you to design and build your website. When you use web tools built in to your web hosting service, you don't need to worry about additional software to upload your pages. Your changes are saved and displayed immediately.Many paid web hosting services offer a wider range of web tools to help you design your website easily, as well as shopping carts for e-commerce. These features are included in the package price, along with free domain name registration. Startlogic is a reliable company with a long track record and an extensive, easy-to-use design tool set.For users who want to do business from their websites, Paypal is the easiest way. With a business account at Paypal, you can generate HTML code for your website that will add 'Buy It Now' buttons to the products or services you feature on your website. A Paypal account is free and easy to set up.
Blogs
A blog, which is a shortened version of the term web log, is an alternative you can use to create a website. Blog sites are typically free and easy to set up. Rather than use traditional website structures, blogs are usually column based and primarily text. You can use graphics on blog sites, but the primary goal of a blog is to allow users to make a 'log' of the events going on in their lives, their personal opinions, or to promote a business or service. WordPress and Blogger are two reliable blog sites. The tools offered by these blog sites are simple to use and free of charge.

How to Greet GuestsIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Take care of anything distracting such as dinner in the oven, children or minor tasks before your guests arrive so that you can devote your full attention to welcoming guests. Keeping them waiting at the door even while you save the pot roast is not a good start. Be enthusiastic in your greeting and thank them for coming. Be genuinely excited to meet new friends and focus your attention on them with gentle questions. Ask your guests what they want to drink and invite them to sit. Ask guests to join you in the kitchen if something there demands your attention.
Entertaining Out
Be the first person to arrive if you are hosting a party at another location. Depending on the restaurant and the size of your group, it is perfectly fine to join some of your guests at your table while you wait for any latecomers. Stand whenever guests arrive, and greet them with the same enthusiasm as you would in your home. Make any necessary introductions right away. Let them know where to sit. The waiter will be only too glad to bring them a drink. If it is a cocktail party at a restaurant, stand close to the door or, at the least, keep a close eye out for guests. Wherever you are in the receiving line of a wedding, the job is the same: Greet your guests enthusiastically, thank them for coming, repeat their names if you are just meeting them, and introduce them to the next person in the receiving line, who may not know them.

Setting Up a Proxy Server in LinuxIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Proxy servers help provide access to blocked websites, allow users to browse websites anonymously and are an easy way to make some extra money for aspiring webmasters. However, before you can begin using your proxy server, you will need to set one up. Many webmasters choose Linux as a base for a proxy server because it is a versatile, free, open-source operating system that can be used to support numerous variants of software. Linux is also used on the majority of web servers, whether they have proxies or not.
Server Requirements
The first conditions you are going to need in order to set up a proxy server on Linux is a high amount of bandwidth and a good server where the software will be installed. Without a high amount of bandwidth, you will not be able to support the constant use of your server. Also, if you do not have hardware that can respond to user requests quickly, proxy server users will look elsewhere.
Proxy Server Choices
There are several options when it comes to what script you will use for your Linux server. Several scripts that are commonly used include Glype, CGI proxy and PHP proxy. Each script has its pros and cons; however, Glype is the most commonly used out of all three. Some of the advantages to Glype include its easy installation--you literally upload a few files and have a functional proxy. Also, Glype is open source, like Linux, a major advantage in the online community.CGI proxy is much more resource intensive than Glype and also does not offer the ability to browse secured websites. PHP proxy is a lightweight solution for your proxy server and is also open source. Whether you end up choosing Glype, CGI proxy or PHP proxy, each program comes with easy installation instructions and is very simple to set up on your proxy server.
Proxy Server Setup
Most of the programs involve downloading the source code for the programs, uploading the files via FTP and possibly changing the permissions for some of the files. However, nearly every program does not require anything more difficult than that. Once you have the files uploaded, you might need to run an installation script, depending on which proxy program you chose. Make sure that you delete the installation folder of your proxy after you have installed; leaving it online may allow your proxy to be reset.
Conclusion
Setting up a proxy on a Linux server is not difficult. You simply need a domain name, FTP account, proxy program and some technical knowledge. Once you have determined which proxy program you are going to use, simply upload and install it following the specific program's instructions, and you will be ready to use a proxy that will be able to help you browse the web anonymously.
