ASP.NET & PHP Master Thesis in Software Engineering Comparison of Web Development Technologies ‐ ASP.NET & PHP Master Thesis in Software Engineering Author: Ramesh Nagilla ([email protected]) Supervisor: Frank Lüders ([email protected]) Examiner: Kristina Lundqvist ([email protected]) 1 Abstract Web applications play an important role for many business purpose activities in the modern world. It has become a platform for the companies to fulfil the needs of their business. In this situation, Web technologies that are useful in developing these kinds of applications become an important aspect. Many Web technologies like Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), Active Server Pages (ASP.NET), Cold Fusion Markup Language (CFML), Java, Python, and Ruby on Rails are available in the market. All these technologies are useful to achieve the goals of Clients and business organizations. ASP.NET and PHP are the most competing out of all the technologies. Most of the companies and developers think that one is better than other. The main aim of this thesis is done by taking this point in to the consideration. A Photo Gallery application is developed using ASP.NET and PHP in order to compare the two Web development technologies. Many points are taken in to consideration in order to differentiate them and conclude which one is the better among the two technologies. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Frank Luders for his constant help, support and guidance during this thesis work. I also would like to thank my friends who have given me enough strength and support during this thesis. 3 Table of Contents 1.

  • XAMPP-Chapter
    The following is a sample chapter from the upcoming Understanding MySQL and MariaDB, coming in 2020 from Andrew Comeau and Comeau Software Solutions. If you enjoy this preview, please check back at ComeauSoftware.com for more details and updates on anticipated release dates. https://www.comeausoftware.com/understanding-mysql-and-mariadb/ All material, Copyright 2019 – Andrew Comeau 3 Installing MariaDB with XAMPP Using MariaDB as part of a suite of web development tools In This Lesson … • Understand the purpose of an Apache - MySQL - PHP (AMP) software stack • Recognize the variations in AMP stack packages available for download • Install an AMP stack for use in developing databases and hosting web applications What is an AMP Stack? As powerful as MySQL is, it's rarely used on its own. Most developers will want additional tools such as programming languages and interface tools to escape the tedium of working on the command line all the time. This is one of the reasons that MySQL is often used in combination with other tools that will enable the design of user-friendly sites. This means either creating or downloading a ready-made AMP stack. AMP usually stands for "Apache-MySQL-PHP" although the P might also stand for Perl or Python. In general, it simply refers to one or more programming languages that are included with the software stack. An AMP stack is called a stack because each tool within it addresses a different aspect of database and web development and helps support the others. • Apache is a web server - software that can respond to requests for pages and other content within a website.

  • Php[Architect] Journal
    FREE Article! Education Station Easy Image Manipulation with Glide Matthew Setter Welcome back to another edition of Education Station. In this month’s edition, we’re going to have fun with images; specifically, we’re going to look at a library that makes it easy to manage just about everything to do with images in a web application. What’s more, it’s a library brought to you by The PHP League, otherwise known as The League of Extraordinary Packages—it’s called Glide. DisplayInfo() Requirements: • PHP 5.4 or above • Composer • Git • Glide - http://glide.thephpleague.com Related URLs: • Silex Documentation - http://silex.sensiolabs.org/documentation 2 | May 2015 www.phparch.com Education Station Easy Image Manipulation with Glide But before we get into it, let’s set the scene Installing Glide & Silex appropriately. You’re building a web application (or a website for a client), and you need to make images Assuming that you already have a new project available, with no more effort than a standard HTML directory set up for testing out Glide and that you have img link. But via that link, you need to be able to Composer in your system path, in the project directory, pass different parameters, allowing for the image you can create a new composer.json file and add in to be rendered with a range of different effects and the configuration below. You should also ensure the transformations, such as the following: exif extension is enabled in your php installation. • Image manipulation (including cropping, { stretching, and resizing) "require": { • Image adjustment (including setting the "league/glide": "0.3.*" brightness, contrast, and gamma level) } • Image effects (including blurring, pixelation, and } filtering) • Image quality • Securing image URLs against user abuse Alternatively, you can run the following commands, which will do it for you: If you wanted all of this, it’s understandable that to code it in-house would take quite a bit of time and composer require league/glide:"0.3.*"; effort.

  • Installation of Wordpress System Requirements for Wordpress
    ITEC321 - Administering Web-based Content Management System Installation of WordPress System requirements for WordPress Database: MySQL 5.0 + Web Server : WAMP (Windows) , LAMP (Linux), XAMP (Multi-platform), MAMP (Macintosh), Operating System − Cross-platform Browser Support : IE (Internet Explorer 8+), Firefox, Google chrome, Safari, Opera PHP Compatibility: PHP 5.2+ How to Install WordPress on your Windows Computer Using WAMP Step 1. Installing WAMP on Windows Computer First, you need to download the WAMP software and install it on your computer. Simply go to the WampServer website and click on the ‘Start Using WampServer’ button. http://www.wampserver.com/en/ It will take you to the downloads section. You’ll see two versions here: WampServer 32 bits and WampServer 64 bits. You need to select the WampServer version that matches the operating system type of your Windows computer. To find out whether you are using 32 or 64-bit operating system, go to Control Panel » System and Security » System in your computer. There you will be able to see your operating system type. Once downloaded, you can click on the wampserver execution file to run the installation. Make sure that you carefully follow the instructions on the installation screen. During the installation process, you need to define the location for the web browser. By default, it will be Internet Explorer. You can change that to Google Chrome or any other web browser by locating it in the Program Files of your computer. Once installed, you can launch the WampServer to continue. Step 2. Setting Up a Database for Local WordPress Setup Next thing you need to do is to create a blank MySQL database.

  • Windows Development Environment
    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Windows Development Environment For those developers who spend most of their coding time with Microsoft development tools, the world of *nix is probably a scary place. Drupal is written for the so-called LAMP stack, "Linux/Apache/MySQL/ PHP." While it is possible to substitute Windows for Linux, it is a bit more difficult to substitute IIS for Apache, and even harder to substitute SQL Server for MySQL. And don’t even think about replacing PHP with C# or Visual Basic. This appendix provides a step-by-step tutorial for setting up a debugging environment on your Windows workstation. My goal was to duplicate the development environment of Visual Studio, and this set-up gets about as close as you can. Old habits die hard, and if you’re like me you’ve got some. I’ve been using a Windows-based computer since Windows was first available as an application that ran under DOS. As with most technologies, Windows and I have a love-hate relationship, but for some reason I keep coming back. Visual Studio is the perfect development environment. My development editor of choice was once VEdit, an emacs-style editor. I reluctantly switched to Visual Studio to do Visual Basic 6 programming, and learned to love IntelliSense. With Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET reflection-based IntelliSense, I can’t imagine coding without it. After the Windows Vista debacle, I seriously considered switching to Ubuntu or Macintosh. If Microsoft couldn’t get its core operating system right, how long would it be until everything else suffered? Windows 7 changed my mind.
