By David Recordon This talk will give you a better idea of what it takes to scale Facebook. From the day that Mark Zuckerberg started building Facebook in his Harvard dorm room in 2004 to today, the site has been built on common open source software such as Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Today Facebook reaches over 350 million people per month, is the largest PHP site in the World, and has released major pieces of our infrastructure as open source. It’s not possible to scale a site like Facebook simply by sharding your databases, rather we’ve developed and contributed to a series of open source infrastructure technologies. Some of these projects include Cassandra, Hive, Haystack, memcached, and Scribe, where each focuses on solving a specific problem with Thrift allowing them to communicate across languages. This talk will give you a better idea of what it takes to scale Facebook, a look into the infrastructure we use to do so, and dive into performance work we’re focused on in order to scale PHP to over 350 billion page views per month.FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Development European Meeting) is a European event centered around Free and Open Source software development. It is aimed at developers and all interested in the Free and Open Source news in the world. Its goals are to enable developers to meet and to promote the awareness and use of free and open source software. More info at fosdem.org

In under a year’s time, Magento, an open-source eCommerce platform, has become the top-searched eCommerce system online, overtaking popular platforms such as osCommerce and Zen Cart. Not only has Magento impressed business owners, but developers are singing its praises as well. But what’s so great about Magento, and how did it push aside its competitors so quickly? We at The Website Owner’s Manual are here to give you the scoop on Magento, and will help you decide if this popular eCommerce platform is right for your business or development undertaking.

For Businesses

  • Magento is open-source,  so it’s FREE to download (individual support comes at a price, but the online support forum is free to use)!
  • The search engine optimization (SEO) features are top-of-the-line in comparison to other platforms.  For example,  Magneto allows merchants to create their own URLs for products on the administrator control panel. Most platforms create a product URL upon creation, which are often times unreadable for the search engines.
  • Google Analytics,  a free tool that allows in-depth tracking of website statistics,  comes integrated with the download.
  • Multiple stores can be maintained across different domains using only one Magento installation.
  • The capability to zoom-in on product images is included.
  • Rates for USPS, FedEx, and UPS are integrated at real time, so shipping and handling quotes are always up-to-date.
  • Customers can compare products side-by-side.
  • There is a one-page checkout system,  so customers are only a click away from ordering products.

Melissa likes the Web and building things that live there. We ask her to do something, so disappears for a while, comes up with an intelligent design, then builds a Web site around that design that will not only do her bidding, but will do the bidding of their new owners. Over the past few years she has worked on (often single handed) the design, production and launch of 100s of websites. She usually does this quietly, efficiently, and with a smirk that makes everyone else wonder what she’s up to. And, if you ask her nicely, she might also agree to design a tattoo for you, although that will have to wait until after work.

If you want to have the best software for your computer, you’re going to go to the best place where you can buy that software. Many times you get the product from the Internet. Many of the computer nerds and geeks out there even go to many places where they can download the software alone with its accompanying adware. Once that software has been downloaded, it is quite impossible to turn it to your own specifications. For example software which has one particular function put in it can only be customized to your requirements, by a software engineer. That is a reason why, you can get your software requirements changed as well as customized, from here. But you’re going to ask why software needs to be changed into custom-made software. Here is the answer. You spend about $200 buying software which you thought would meet your requirements. Suddenly you find that there is some specification which you want added into it. And you can’t do that, because you do not know the program’s source code. Apart from this, the software designer has made sure that you cannot modify the software at all. Let us look at another example taking Microsoft windows software into view. The moment they saw that Linux was distributing open source Linux software, Bill gave the clients the option to get open source Windows software free. So what happened after you had loaded it in your home computer, your office computer, and the computer of a couple of your colleagues? There was an arbitrary notice telling you that you could not load the computer unless you purchased a license, costing, of course, oodles of dollars. That is the way software companies earned their billions. This get so very tiresome, especially when you find that there is a possible shutdown of operations and you have to reload your Windows again. But since you do not have any sort of software that can be used unless you buy the license, that’s that. What our company is offering you is that every single software which is bought from us and the customized according to your requirements. And if you have already bought your favorite software somewhere else, you are always welcome to have it modified according to your priorities, specifications and requirements from us. This can be done extremely easily by paying us a bit of money to do the modifying customization job for you. You do not have any hassles of looking for any other software option which gives you the alternative if you wanted. It is all going to be done by our expert and experienced computer engineers and technicians!
