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.

How to Use FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
When you first open Filezilla, a large window opens with several windows within in the main window. The top window is where Filezilla will show its commands as it works. Below that on the left is the local computer, your computer. On the right is where you will see files from the remote computer. Each computer is broken down into two windows each, the upper window for directories, and the lower pane for directory contents. At the bottom in where progress of each uploading file is displayed.
Check with your webhost for your FTP host name, your username and password, which may be given by the host, or you have chosen. Click on the File drop down menu and chose Site Manager. A new window will open.
In Site Manager chose New Site. In the Select Entry pane, a new icon appears. Type in the name of your site.
In the pane to the right of the Select Entry, click on the General Tab. Here you will find several options. Type in the host name, usually in the format of ftp.(your-domain-name).com. Chose FTP Server Type. Chose the type of logon, usually that is normal.
Type in your username and password and click connect. The Site Manager will close automatically and you will see the commands to logon in the top pane of the main window.
If everything went right a list of folders should be displayed in the right hand panes of the main window. Now it is simple as finding your files in the left hand directory pane, and drag and drop them into the right hand pane, or vise versa.
Filezilla will decide for you what type of file you are transferring, but other FTP clients will ask you for a type, or assume a type.

How to Calculate Ean13 BarcodesIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Locate the 12th digit in the barcode. If the check digit is not yet in place, this is the last digit from the left. If the check digit is in place, this is the second to last digit from the left.
For example, if your EAN-13 was 97 35940 56482 4, the 12th digit is the No. 2.
Starting with this 12th digit, move from right to left across the code adding every second digit to it. Using our example code of 97 35940 56482 4, this means starting with the No. 2 and adding to it the numbers 4, 5, 4, 5 and 7, giving a total of 27.
Multiply the sum obtained in Step 2 by 3. Using our example above, this means the multiplying of 27 by 3, giving a total of 81.
Locate the 11th digit in the code. Using our example code of 97 35940 56482 4, this would be the No. 8.
Starting with the 11th digit, move from right to left across the code adding every second digit to it. Using our example of 97 35940 56482 4, this means starting with the No. 8 and adding to it 6, 0, 9, 3 and 9, giving a total of 35.
Add the results from Step 3 and Step 5. In our example this means adding 81 and 35, giving a total of 116.
Round the result of Step 6 up to the nearest multiple of 10. In our example, this means rounding 116 up to 120.
Subtract the result of Step 7 from the result of Step 6. In our example, this is 120-116, giving us a difference of 4. This 4 should be the 13th number in the EAN-13, otherwise known as the check digit.

Party Bus IdeasIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
A party can be extra special if it has a theme---especially one that the party guests can really get into. An '80s theme is great for young adult parties. The outfits are easy to put together and fun to wear. You can even decorate the inside of the bus in 1980s memorabilia---such as movie posters from that decade. A 1980s theme can make the party bus experience more fun without costing a lot more money. Some party bus companies, including Boston's Bustonian, even have special themed 1980s buses.
Magician
Children will love riding on the party bus, but they may need some additional entertainment during the ride. Consider hiring a magician to perform while the bus is traveling. Some magicians even have special tricks designed for party buses. Magician fees vary widely based on experience and reputation. Some party bus companies have partnerships with certain magicians allowing you to get a discuss rate if you book both.
Special Cocktail
Adult party buses are often associated with alcohol, play up the association by offering a specially mixed cocktail just for the occasion. If your party has a theme, choose a cocktail to match. For example, if you are hosting a Hawaiian-themed party, consider serving a pina colada as the signature drink. Most party bus companies will require all partygoers to show identification before getting on the bus, though, so be sure that all of your invited guests are of age.
Historical Tour
Put a spin on the party bus concept by hosting a wine and cheese historical tour of a city. Senior citizens might enjoy touring Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco or other historical cities in a party bus while sipping wine and listening to music. Alternatively, a tour of your family's hometown on a party bus could add a new twist to your next family reunion.
Miniature Golf
While a miniature golf course may not fit on the party bus, you can incorporate mini golfing into a party bus outing. Both kids and adults will enjoy traveling in the party bus to get to a miniature golf course, playing a round, and then hopping back on the bus for dinner and/or drinks. If you are hosting an adult party, be sure your guests have not had too much to drink prior to golfing.
