Twitter E-Books

Why e-books?

I have been asking this question since the beginning of wiki and search engine. I believe many of you are asking the same question. We can just do googling to search for any information. Chances we will land on a wiki page with our first search result. We all know that almost all information today are free. As free as the Internet. Again, why e-books and pay for the prices like the print books? I would rather buy a print book myself.

I will answer this question from the content point of view. The only reason that an e-book is better than print book is because there is no actual print book that you can find in any book store for the said e-book. Well, majority of e-books on the Internet fall into that category.

An e-book organizes its content just like a book. We read an e-book using a computer or an e-book reading device. We can print an e-book for off line reading but we have to bind it ourselves or get a printing and binding service to make it look like a print book. For us not going for e-book, information or content that we can search on the Internet may be "piece meals". We have to keep on searching for details. And we have to organize our search results which can be time consuming. The problem arise when we don't know what to search for because we do not know the subject matter.

A good e-book is complete with contents. When there is an e-book, we can save our time from searching around for knowledge. And we don't have to go through a hit and miss exercise to look for knowledge. Apparently, there is low barrier of entry for a writer to produce e-book compare to print book. People with good knowledge can easily become an e-book writer. There will definitely be more e-books on the Internet and the number will grow rapidly.

I will go for an e-book for a complete knowledge that the e-book offer and to save my time searching around for the knowledge.

Setting Up PyScripter for Quantum GIS

PyScripter is a general purpose Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a desktop GIS application that can be extended with Python plugins. Both are open source softwares. We intend to use PyScripter as an IDE to build QGIS Python plugin. We are using PyScripter 2.4.1.0 and QGIS 1.6.0 in Windows. PyScripter does not come with Python. On the other hand, QGIS is built in with Python. Thus, we will setup up PyScripter to use the build in Python in QGIS. We assume both PyScripter and QGIS are already installed. Preparing PyScripter batch file We assume that QGIS is installed in C:\OSGeo4W\ folder and PyScripter is installed in C:\Program Files\PyScripter\ . 1. Copy qgis.bat in C:\OSGeo4W\ bin to pyscripter.bat 2. Edit pyscripter.bat to remove the last line that read something like this start "Quantum GIS" /B "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\apps\qgis\bin\qgis.exe %* and replace it with this in one line Start "PyScripter" /B "C:\Progr...

Access Control

Access control is about controlling user flow within your application. Do not mistaken access control with security which is a bigger subject in itself. Access control begins by authenticating user and limit his or her activity in your application. An activity is something like creating, updating or deleting a content. There are always finite number of activities that can be done in a given application. Each user can be assigned to a set of activities that he or she is allowed to do. Access control is usually tied to session management. However, you do not need session management to have access control. When a user log in, a session is created so that the user is remembered for the subsequent access. Otherwise the user has to keep on providing his or her credential for each access. We can also keep a list of activities that the user is allowed to do in the session record. Some applications let the session alive indefinitely and some applications time out user after a duration of inacti...

Separation of Front-end and Back-end Concerns

Separation of concerns is the cornerstone of MVC framework. Model, view and controller are three broad concerns of web-based software development. On its early days MVC was implemented on server side. The server renders views for clients. Nowadays, most clients render views themselves. Even the terminology of client-server has already morphed into front-end and back-end . The need for back-end to handle views is diminishing. View concerns have became increasingly complex with two big sub-concerns of aesthetic and dynamics. Front-end evolves into bigger MVC concerns of itself. While back-end evolves into larger modeling concerns. Now, front-end and back-end are two separate concerns. Front-end and back-end are handled by two different teams of software developers with different specialties. Back-end evolves into something like "dinner can be served even without plates, forks and spoons, without table and chairs, and without a dinning room." Front-end is serving the withouts....
