Dynamic Web Template with Smarty Template Engine

Smarty Template Engine or more accurately described as "Template / Presentation Framework" is a tool that can ease the programmer to create website templates. Although it can be used for purposes as simple as that, its focus is fast and pain on the development and Deployment of your applications, while maintaining high performance, scalability, security and future growth.

Smarty features:

• Caching: Smarty provides fine-grained caching features for caching all or parts of a rendered web page, or leaving parts uncached. Programmers can register template functions as cacheable or non-cachable, group cached pages into logical units for easier management, etc.

• Configuration Files: Smarty can assign variables pulled from configuration files. Template designers can maintain values common to several templates in one location without intervention from the programmer, and config variables can easily be shared between the programming and presentation portions of the application.

• Security: Templates do not contain PHP code. Therefore, a template designer is not unleashed with the full power of PHP, but only the subset of functionality made available to them from the programmer (application code.)

• Easy to Use and Maintain: Web page designers are not dealing with PHP code syntax, but instead an easy-to-use templating syntax not much different than plain HTML. The templates are a very close representation of the final output, dramatically shortening the design cycle.

• Variable Modifiers: The content of assigned variables can easily be adjusted at display-time with modifiers, such as displaying in all upper-case, html-escaped, formatting dates, truncating text blocks, adding spaces between characters, etc. Again, this is accomplished with no intervention from the programmer.

• Template Functions: Many functions are available to the template designer to handle tasks such as generating HTML code segments (dropdowns, tables, pop-ups, etc.), displaying content from other templates in-line, looping over arrays of content, formatting text for e-mail output, cycling though colors, etc.

• Filters: The programmer has complete control of template output and compiled template content with pre-filters, post-filters and output-filters.

• Resources: Templates can be pulled from any number of sources by creating new resource handlers, then using them in the templates.

• Plugins: Almost every aspect of Smarty is controlled through the use of plugins. They are generally as easy as dropping them into the plugin directory and then mentioning them in the template or using them in the application code. Many user-community contributions are also available. (See the plugins section of the forum and wiki.)

• Add-ons: Many user-community contributed Add-ons are available such as Pagination, Form Validation, Drop Down Menus, Calendar Date Pickers, etc. These tools help speed up the development cycle, there is no need to re-invent the wheel or debug code that is already stable and ready for deployment. (see the Add-ons section of the forum and wiki.)

• Debugging: Smarty comes with a built-in debugging console so the template designer can see all of the assigned variables and the programmer can investigate template rendering speeds.

• Compiling: Smarty compiles templates into PHP code behind the scenes, eliminating run-time parsing of templates.

• Performance: Smarty performs extremely well, despite its vast feature set. Most of Smarty's capabilities lie in plugins that are loaded on-demand. Smarty comes with numerous presentation tools, minimizing your application code and resulting in quicker, less error-prone application development/deployment. Smarty templates get compiled to PHP files internally (once), eliminating costly template file scans and leveraging the speed of PHP op-code accelerators.

How to Success on Google?

Google will list a site in a few days or weeks. During one or two days is common if your site is not in their database until you build a link that is enough so that they can make your site important and teteap in the index. Registration and comprehensive directory of signals from the various forums will make your site remains in its index. Google primarily Focuses on algorithm LinkPage Data
On page criteria have exceptions for competitive search phrase. To be successful in google with the phrase need to target the competitive use a different page, or search for other ways to allow users in the community want to link to you using the primary keywords in your link text.

A general way to add your link

1. Participate in trade organizations.
2. Enter Your List in the directory.
3. Send a press release via the site as http://www.prweb.com. You can dmelihat several examples of the format of the press release. Don Crowther has a good PDF report that offers templates and tips in the press release www.101publicrelations.com
4. Make a directory with a specific topic one level below the category you are.
5. Write an article that force and make ignites.
6. Sponsors 501C organization (buy or rent another link), or other sponsor site
7. Reciprocate links with a quality site.
8. Create a keyword rich domain name will make it easier bagu user to link to you with a keyword in the link text.
9. If you want to manage the site more you use heading tags, page title, and other elements. Will help you rank well in search engines.

Anchor Text: is one important element in the algorithm google at this time and more valuable than the PageRank. Anchor text berkombinasi with a good PageRank will strengthen the search engine rankings. If you have a keyword domain, search engines will include in the site list with the name of the official they will be more help anchor text.

Google Adsense - The Hidden Money

Google Adsense is a new way in selectivity terheboh money in Pay Per Click market. Google Adsense allows us to install the text-based Adsense ads on the website and receive payment from the Pay Per Click. The form of the ads is the same as the Google ads that are on the right side of search results search engine Google. Range depends on Adsense for payment from the market and ability to reap dollars per click using Google Adsense!

There is no way easier than Google Adsense to generate money. This is a new way to make money on the Webspace and website owner, whether a beginner or already experienced, they enjoy the benefits of this new way. Search engines most popular at this time provides the opportunity to generate additional money with just some text ads on web pages.
Targeted contextual advertising means that only relevant ads that will appear on the website. After these ads appear on content pages, the visitor then clicks on. Google make money from ads that are inserted as a reward and the advertiser will get the benefit is.

To participate in Adsense is not paying, it's free, in addition also provides other benefits as follows:

• Place the ads that will attract the user us.
• Display ads can we adjust / customize.
• Source of the ad comes from the 150,000 more advertisers.
• Manage your account online.
• Ads that are not desired can be filtered.

The benefits of AdSense:

• Joining with AdSense is easy.
• Easy installation, with some code to paste into the page.
• Free to join.
• No need to search for the advertiser.
• Google provides a selection of highly relevant ads that can be tailored to the content pages.
• No need to choose the ads that are different for different pages.
• No need to try-try a different code for various affiliate programs.
• We can only concentrate on providing good content and Google will find ads for the best web page of our 100,000 AdWords advertisers.
• Adsense can be done by anyone whether a beginner or veteran marketing other.
• AdSense statistics reports that provide simple and easily understood.

If we have affiliate links on the website, we are allowed to install Adsense. However, the affiliate links should not imitate such as Google ads. Google can also block sites that are not appropriate or standard we owned our competitors. Could not be denied, Adsense competitors website with a strong model for the distribution of the benefits the other. Many user program called Adsense that they hope will be changes and improvements in this Adsense program. See the list below.

The Adsense Wish List
Payment: Direct (Direct deposit)
Design:

• More options for custom design (flexible layouts).
• Number of ads per layout more specific.
• Width and height measure more specific.
• Opening AdSense ads in new window.

Fraud (Prevention):

• For suspicious activity can be detected with more sophisticated methods
• Or without prior warning if the warning is unreasonable

Adsense Money:
So how much is gained from Adsense? Google says: "AdWords ads that appear on content pages your ad is a cost-per-click (CPC). This means advertisers only pay when a user clicks on the ad. You will get part of the amount paid for clicks from the AdWords ads on your website. Although we do not mention the value of course, our goal allows the publisher to be able to express more than to join with other advertising networks. "
The only way to know how many that can be obtained is to try it out. Because there is no long-term contract here, we can cancel at any time.

PHP Tutorial : String Operations

Operating string so important in programming especially in PHP. Why so important? Because the work with php, is building a good information system, facilities to make searching the web, and various other things related to web development is not separated from the operating string. So many functions that have a string operation, and also a lot of string functions that are frequently used, so that authors need to share a few articles about this string operation. For the first part of the article the author will explain the function of which has 2 additional tasks other than the search string. Among other :

• substr()
• strstr()

Substr(), has a function to retrieve one or more characters from a variable. Implementation, such as taking the characters generated from the function DATE() is mysql. Sample usage is as follows :

<?php

$tanggal = '012409';
$bulan = substr($date, 0, 2);

$hari = substr($date, 2, 2);
$tahun = substr($date, -2);

echo "$hari/$bulan/$tahun";

?>

The result is:

24/01/09

Explanation is as follows:

$month = substr($date, 0, 2);
Take a 2-digit characters from the front, the result is 01.

$day = substr($date, 2, 2);
Take the characters from 2 to 3 digits. Because the string has a sequence beginning 0, then the number 2 in the variable $date have in order to position 2. The result is 24.

To prove it:

<?php
$date ='012409 ';
echo $date [2];
?>

the results are :

2

And the last is
$year = substr($date, -2); This means take 2 characters from the back. The result is 09.

Strstr(), this function is used to return all the strings behind the string searched. For example there is a sentence:
"Smartness radiated from the eternal pure handsome. - Al-k",
the characters are searching "--",
the results of the function strstr() is "- Al-k"

Example of use:

The result is:

- Al-k

Implementation of strstr() example like this:

Explanation is as follows:

if ($theword = strstr($sentence, $alert)) ( if the characters in the search in this case the $sign in the string $sentence, then return the string that are behind these variables into the $theword.

echo 'The phrase is in a cool earlier by'."'". substr($theword, strlen($sign ))."'";

part is essentially substr($theword, strlen($sign))

If the change in value is actually
substr( "- Al-k", 2);

show the search string with a pass mark of --.

The result is:

Al-k

So that the results of the integrity of the script

Is:

Expression earlier in a dogged by 'Al-k'

Strstr(), this function is used to return all the strings behind the string searched. For example there is a sentence: "Smartness radiated from the eternal pure handsome. - Al-k",
the characters are searching "--",
the results of the function strstr() is "- Al-k"

Example of use:

<?php

$sentence = "smartness radiated from the eternal pure handsome. - Al-k";
$sign ='--';
$theword = strstr($sentence, $sign);
echo $theword;

?>

The result is:

- Al-k

Implementation of strstr() example like this:

<?php

$sentence = "smartness radiated from the eternal pure handsome. - Al-k";
$sign ='--';

if($theword = strstr($sentence, $alert)) (
 echo 'The phrase is in a cool earlier by'."'". substr($theword, strlen($sign))."'";
Else()
 echo "dont have any expression!";
)

?>

Explanation is as follows:

if ($theword = strstr($sentence, $alert)) (

if the characters in the search in this case the $sign in the string $sentence, then return the string that are behind these variables into the $theword.

echo 'The phrase is in a cool earlier by'."'". substr($theword, strlen($sign ))."'";

part is essentially substr($theword, strlen($sign))

If the change in value is actually

substr( "- Al-k", 2)

show the search string with a pass mark of --.

The result is:

Al-k

So that the results of the integrity of the script

<? php

$sentence = "smartness radiated from the eternal pure handsome. - Al-k";
$sign ='--';

if ($theword = strstr($sentence, $alert)) (
 echo 'The phrase is in a cool earlier by'."'". substr($theword, strlen($sign ))."'";
Else()
 echo "Dont have any expression!";
)

?> 

The result is:

Expression earlier in a dogged by 'Al-k'

OK.. thats it for now, see you at next tutorial!

New Desktop Project for Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

With Hardy now past feature-freeze it's time to start to plan features that are being lined up for inclusion after Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is released in April.

And so I'd like to introduce you to the Intrepid Ibex, the release which is planned for October 2008, and which is likely to have the version number 8.10.

During the 8.10 cycle we will be venturing into interesting new territory, and we'll need the rugged adventurousness of a mountain goat to navigate tricky terrain. Our desktop offering will once again be a focal point as we re-engineer the user interaction model so that Ubuntu works as well on a high-end workstation as it does on a feisty little subnotebook. We'll also be reaching new peaks of performance - aiming to make the mobile desktop as productive as possible.

A particular focus for us will be pervasive internet access, the ability to tap into bandwidth whenever and wherever you happen to be. No longer will you need to be a tethered, domesticated animal - you'll be able to roam (and goats do roam!) the wild lands and access the web through a variety of wireless technologies. We want you to be able to move from the office, to the train, and home, staying connected all the way.

The Intrepid Ibex will take shape at our next Ubuntu Developer Summit, an open event to which members of the Ubuntu community, upstream communities, corporate developers and other distributions are all invited. That summit takes place in beautiful Prague, in the Czech Republic from 19th - 23rd May 2008. Together we will draw up detailed blueprints for Ubuntu 8.10. Please join us there to help define the Intrepid Ibex:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Intrepid

Ubuntu 8.10 will be our ninth release, and the fourth anniversary of the first release - 4.10. In those four years, Ubuntu has grown as a project, an ethos and a community. The Ubuntu community have worked to set the benchmark for open, inclusive, and collaborative development processes. We have open specifications, open governance structures and a willingness to empower everyone to make their unique contribution to the success of the project.

This has created an extraordinary diversity in participation; a depth of talent including packagers, programmers, translators, writers, testers, advocates, technical support, artists and many others. Those contributions come as much from the corporate world - Canonical and other companies that have embraced Ubuntu as a core of their offering - as from a huge number of individual professionals.
It is this combination of expertise and perspectives that makes it such a pleasure for me to be part of this project, and I thank all of you for your continued passion, participation, and energy.

Hardy is our best development cycle yet, delivering on our promise of reliability and stability for the Heron. We must stay focused on that goal. To the extent that you have a brilliant idea for the future, you now have a peg to hang it on - the Intrepid Ibex. When the Hardy Heron has taken flight we will engage fully with the Ibex.
Give it horns!

PSP Phone Concept

Sony Ericsson patented a PSP phone concept a while back, proving that Sony had some interest in developing a PSP phone model. At the time, it was more than likely not a priority, but that’s starting to change.

Consumer interest in the idea has really increased lately and could force Sony to at least take a look at the idea again. The above image is a PSP phone concept created by a random internet user. Although Sony would probably never go with a design idea from someone random, if the idea catches on, they will have no choice but to consider the ideas flying around the internet.

The Ubuntu release cycle

From its outset Ubuntu project has been committed to a regular release cycle and has managed to deliver on that commitment without fail. It is the regularity and reliability of these releases that makes Ubuntu a great option for users and businesses who can plan upgrades and new installs with a reliability that is very unusual in the operating system market. This diagram gives our long term commitment to releases and demonstrates the key difference between a Long Term Support release and our standard releases.

LTS Desktop and Server

Long Term Support releases for desktop and server. There are deployment platforms with wide hardware and software support and ideal or individuals and businesses making a longer term investment in Ubuntu

Standard release

These are the 6 monthly release that contain the best of the new from the Open Source and commercial worlds and suited to users happy to upgrade regularly.

Point Release

These are 6 monthly updates to the long term support cycle. These are primarily bug fixes and patches with occasional feature enhancements that maintain the integrity of the release over a long cycle. The point releases continue up to the next LTS release which then offers an obvious upgrade path for users

LTS Server

This is the extended support period for server.

Ubuntu 8.04 Codename Hardy Heron

The latest Ubuntu release brings the best of open source together on a platform that is here to stay with 3 years of free updates. With hundreds of improvements and the addition of the latest version of Firefox amongst other outstanding applications, more and more users are assessing why Ubuntu wins more and more converts with every release. This tour will help you discover this for your self.

Productivity tools: Ubuntu supports all of your favourite web-based mail programs like Yahoo(TM) or Gmail (TM). But for the office, Evolution provides all the calendering, contacts and full function office email you need. Pidgin IM also puts you in instant touch with colleagues and integrates with your personal IM services simply and easily.
Browsing: Including Mozilla Firefox (Beta 5) - tested and stabilised for a platform. Faster, safer and themed for Ubuntu.
Photos: Upload from your camera or phone to F-Spot and manage, tag, share and sort your photos and upload easily to you favourite social networking sites.
Music and video: Plug in your PSP, iPod, MP3 player; share playlists with your friends; buy in the creative commons online music stores, stream more live radio and plug in more devices with UPnP.
Office applications: Word processing, spreadsheets and presentations can all be delivered through Open Office. And, they completely integrate with the proprietary office applications out there. The big difference is that they are free.
Accessibility: At the core of the Ubuntu philosophy is the belief that computing is for everyone and access should be free and complete whatever your economic or physical circumstances. Ubuntu is one of the most accessible desktop operating systems around.

What is a Computer Virus?

A computer virus is a program which reproduces itself. It may attach to other programs, it may create copies of itself (as in companion viruses). It may damage or corrupt data, change data, or degrade the performance of your system by utilizing resources such as memory or disk space.

A computer virus may be categorized with one or more of the following four designations:

• Boot sector computer virus
• Master Boot Record (MBR) computer virus
• File infector computer virus
• Macro computer virus

A computer virus which displays characteristics of more than one of these categories is known as a multi-partite computer virus.

Boot sector viruses

Boot sector viruses infect the boot record on hard disks, floppy disks, and theoretically also on CD's and DVD's.

A boot sector virus does not need to be able to successfully boot the victims computer to infect it. Because of this, even non-bootable media can spread a boot sector virus.

Once the infected computer does successfully boot, the boot sector virus stays in memory and infects floppies and other media when they are written to by the infected computer.

Boot sector viruses have become less common as floppy disks have become rarer.

Master Boot Record (MBR) viruses

Master Boot Record (MBR) viruses are very similar to boot sector viruses, except that they infect the MBR (Master Boot Record) instead of the boot sector.

File infector viruses

File infector viruses infect files which contain executables code, such as .EXE and .COM files.

Some file infectors are memory resident. This means that the virus will stay in memory and continue to infect other programs. Other file infector viruses only infect other files when they are executed.

Macro viruses

Macro viruses infect certain types of data files. Most macro viruses infect Microsoft Office files, such as Word Documents, Excel Spreadsheets, PowerPoint Presentations, and Access Databases.

Macro viruses typically use the Visual Basic macro language which is built into Microsoft Office applications.

Some macro viruses also share the characteristics of a computer worm, in the way in which they spread themselves across networks.

Multi-partite viruses

Multi-partite viruses share the characteristics of more than one virus type. For example, a multi-partite computer virus might infect both the boot record and program files.

How C Programming Works

The C programming language is a popular and widely used programming language for creating computer programs. Programmers around the world embrace C because it gives maximum control and efficiency to the programmer. If you are a programmer, or if you are interested in becoming a programmer, there are a couple of benefits you gain from learning C:

• You will be able to read and write code for a large number of platforms -- everything from microcontrollers to the most advanced scientific systems can be written in C, and many modern operating systems are written in C.

• The jump to the object oriented C++ language becomes much easier. C++ is an extension of C, and it is nearly impossible to learn C++ without learning C first.

This animation shows the execution of a simple C program. By the end of this article you will understand how it works!

In this article, we will walk through the entire language and show you how to become a C programmer, starting at the beginning. You will be amazed at all of the different things you can create once you know C!

XML Tutorial Part 5 : XML Syntax

XML syntax refers to the rules that determine how an XML application can be written. The XML syntax is very straight forward, and this makes XML very easy to learn. Below are the main points to remember when creating XML documents.

Well-formedness

The W3C specifies that all XML documents must be well-formed. Specifically, a textual object is a well-formed XML document if:

• Taken as a whole, it matches the production labeled document
• It meets all the well-formedness constraints given the XML specification
• Each of the parsed entities which is referenced directly or indirectly within the document is well-formed

If this all sounds confusing, don't worry too much. Basically, all you need to do is ensure you build your XML applications correctly!

XML Declaration

If you include an XML declaration, it must be the first item in your document. The XML declaration uses the element.

Example:

One Root Element Only

Each XML document must have one root element and no more. All other elements must be contained within the root element.

Example:

Data
More Data

XML Markup

Generally speaking, an XML document consists of markup and data. Markup is provided in the form of tags and attributes. Data is the text that goes in between the tags or is provided within their attributes.

The next couple of lessons cover the key syntax rules related to elements and attributes.

XML Tutorial Part 4 : XML Documents

XML Documents

This lesson shows you how XML documents are constructed. Similar to an HTML document, XML documents consist of stuff at the top of the document, followed by the content.

Prolog

Right at the top of the document, we have a prolog (also spelt prologue). A prolog is optional, but if it is included, it should become at the beginning of the document. The prolog can contain things such as the XML declaration, comments, processing instructions, white space, and document type declarations. Although the prolog (and everything in it) is optional, it's recommended that you include the XML declaration in your XML documents.

XML Declaration

The XML declaration indicates that the document is written in XML and specifies which version of XML. The XML declaration, if included, must be on the first line of the document.

The XML declaration can also specify the language encoding for the document (optional) and if the application refers to external entities (optional). In our example, we specify that the document uses UTF-8 encoding (although we don't really need to as UTF-8 is the default), and we specify that the document refers to external entities by using standalone="no". This is not a standalone document as it relies on an external resource (i.e. the DTD).

Although the XML declaration is optional, the W3C recommends that you include it in your XML documents. In any case, you'll need the XML declaration to successfully validate your document.

Document Type Definition (DTD)

The DTD defines the rules of your XML document. Although XML itself has rules, the rules defined in a DTD are specific to your own needs. More specifically, the DTD allows you to specify the names of the elements that are allowed in the document, which elements are allowed to be nested inside other elements, and which elements can only contain data.

The DTD is used when you validate your XML document. Any application that uses the document must stop processing if the document doesn't adhere to the DTD.

DTDs can be internal (i.e. specified within the document) or external (i.e. specified in an external file). In our example, the DTD is external.

Comments

XML comments begin with . Similar to HTML comments, XML comments allow you to write stuff within your document without it being parsed by the processor. You normally write comments as an explanatory note to yourself or another programmer. Comments can appear anywhere within your document.

Processing Instructions

Processing instructions begin with and end with ?>. Processing instructions are instructions for the XML processor. Processing instructions are not built into the XML recommendation. Rather, they are processor-dependant so not all processors understand all processing instructions. Our example is a common processing instruction that many processors understand. The instructions to the processor is to use an external style sheet.

White Space

White space is simply blank space created by carriage returns, line feeds, tabs, and/or spaces. White space doesn't affect the processing of the document, so you can choose to include whitespace or not.

Technically speaking, the XML recommendation specifies that XML documents use the UNIX convention for line endings. This means that you should use a linefeed character only (ASCII code 10) to indicate the end of a line.

Speaking of white space, there is a special attribute (xml:whitespace) that you can use to preserve whitespace within your elements (but we won't concern ourselves with that just now).

Elements & Content

This is where the document's content goes. It consists of one or more elements, nested within a single root element.

Root Element Opening Tag

All XML documents must have one (and only one) root element. All other elements must be nested inside this root element. In other words, the root element must contain all other elements within the document. Therefore, the first tag in the document will always be the opening tag of the root element (the closing tag will always be at the bottom of the document).

Child Elements and Content

These are the elements that are contained within the root element. Elements are usually represented by an opening and closing tag. Data and other elements reside between the opening and closing tag of an element.

Although most elements contain an opening and closing tag, XML allows you to use empty elements. An empty element is one without a closing tag. You might be familiar with some empty elements used in HTML such as the element or the
element. In XML, you must close empty elements with a forward slash before the > symbol. For example,
.

Elements can also contain one or more attributes. An attribute is a name/value pair, that you place within an opening tag, which allows you to provide extra information about an element. You may be familiar with attributes in HTML. For example, the HTML img tag requires the src attribute which specifies the location of an image (eg, ).

Root Element Closing Tag

The last tag of the document will always be the closing tag of the root element. This is because all other elements are nested inside the root element.

XML Tutorial Part 3 : XML Editor

XML Editor

As you saw in the previous lesson, you can create XML documents using a simple text editor such as Notepad, WordPad, vi, emacs, or SimpleText etc. Text editors are OK, but if you're serious about creating XML, you'd be better off finding an XML editor.

Benefits of an XML Editor

An XML editor will make your life easier when coding XML and more importantly, it will help prevent you from making errors.

XML editors are similar to HTML editors (or any other programming editor) in that they provide syntax highlighting which helps with readability when you're coding. They'll also do things like automatically insert a closing tag once you're added an opening tag.

A good XML editor should also provide validation - a way for you to validate that the documents you create are well formed.

Examples of XML Editors

Here are some XML editors you might find useful:

• XML Notepad
• XML Cooktop
• XML Pro
• XML Spy
• eNotepad

XML Tutorial Part 2 : XML Viewers

XML Viewers

While you can view XML documents with a simple text editor, there are free XML viewers that present the contents in a more readable form. XML viewers interpret the document so it will display the XML document using any styles that have been applied using XSLT or CSS. It will also warn you if something doesn't look right, or if it doesn't validate correctly.

Most modern browsers include XML support, so it's quite possible that your own browser is able to display the contents of XML files.

You open an XML file in your browser the same way you open any other file in your browser. If it's a local file you can type the full path into the address bar. Otherwise, if it's available over the web, you can type the URL into the address bar.

Notepad

You can use a text editor such as Notepad to create or view a simple XML file. Here's what this XML file looks like in Notepad:

Firefox

Here's how the above XML file appears in Firefox 2.0. Notice the difference between Notepad and Firefox. Firefox actually attempts to interpret the document. It even warns us if it thinks something could be out of place (such as a missing stylesheet).

Internet Explorer

Here's how the same XML file appears in Internet Explorer 6.0

Displaying Errors

If your XML document contains an error, your XML viewer should display a message indicating the error. In this file, I have purposely included an error.

Below is how the error is reported in Internet Explorer.

Adding Styles

Once you start adding styles to your XML, you'll see a huge difference in how your XML documents appear with an XML viewer. We'll cover styles later.

XML Tutorial Part 1 : About XML

About XML

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. As the name suggests, XML is a markup language. The XML specification was created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the body that sets standards for the web.

Features/Benefits of XML

XML has been widely adopted since its creation and with good reason. Some of the key features and benefits of XML include:

• Easy data exchange - One of the great things about XML is that it can allow easy sharing of data between different applications - even if these applications are written in different languages and reside on different platforms.
• Self-describing data - When you look at an XML document, it is very easy to figure out what's going on.
• Create your own languages - XML allows you to specify your own markup language for your own specific purpose. Some existing XML based languages include Banking Industry Technology Secretariat (BITS), Bank Internet Payment System (BIPS), Financial Exchange (IFX) and many more.

What Does XML Look Like?

The following example demonstrates what the contents of a typical XML document could look like.

I'll be explaining what this is all about in the coming lessons.

Difference Between XML and HTML

If you're familiar with HTML, you might notice that XML looks similar to HTML. Like XML, HTML is also a markup language. In fact, HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Markup languages are used for describing how a document's contents should be interpreted.

HTML

HTML includes over 100 pre-defined tags to allow the author to specify how each piece of content should be presented to the end user. For example, if you surround some content with tags, the user agent/browser will render that content using a bold typeface.

XML

XML allows you to create your own tags to describe the data between them. You're not particularly interested in how the data will be presented. Your main focus is ensuring that the data is well organised within descriptive tags (or elements). This is because XML is primarily used for data storage and transfer purposes - not for presentation purposes.

Direct X changer

The program is intended for carrying out of various actions with versions DirectX. The program can change version DirectX for any another without restart of OS. For example, this program will allow starting many old games and if to establish package DirectX10 for XP, also many new games. And if suddenly OS after changes of version DirectX began to work stably always it is possible to return to DirectX 9.

Get the serial number you need !

* Go to Google.

* In the search field type: "Product name" 94FBR

* Where, "Product Name" is the name of the item you want to find the serial number for.

* And voila - there you go - the serial number you needed.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Quite simple really. 94FBR is part of a Office 2000 Pro cd key that is widely distributed as it bypasses the activation requirements of Office 2K Pro. By searching for the product name and 94fbr, you guarantee two things. 1) The pages that are returned are pages dealing specifically with the product you're wanting a serial for. 2) Because 94FBR is part of a serial number, and only part of a serial number, you guarantee that any page being returned is a serial number list page.

See these example searches:

"Photoshop 7" 94FBR
"Age of Mythology" 94FBR
"Nero Burning Rom 5.5" 94FBR
