Difference between javascript, jscript, jquery, ajax, json and xml
I spend the 4 hrs 30 minutes to clear my confusions. One is this article and other is Difference-of-apache-nginx-mongrel-webrick-phusion-passanger-capistrano
I have lot of doubts about Scripting and programming language. I often understand the difference between them using stackoverflow.com Q/A also using wikipedia for the clear cut. Acknowledging that am not holding any credentials for this article. I’ve just sum up the all the answers to know the difference between this languages and framework as it would be very useful to the fellows like me. Thanks to SOF and wiki members.
JAVASCRIPT
JavaScript is the common term for a combination of the ECMAScript programming language plus some means for accessing a web browser’s windows and the document object model (DOM).
javascript, for the purposes of this question, is a client-side (in the browser) scripting language.
Javascript is a programming language (objects, array, numbers, strings, calculations)
Javascript is a programming language which is used mainly in webpages for making websites interactive. When a webpage is parsed by the browser, it creates an in-memory representation of the page. It is a tree structure, which contains all elements on the page. So there is a root element, which contains the head and the body elements, which contain other elements, which contain other elements. So it looks like a tree basically. Now with javascript you can manipulate elements in the page using this tree. You can pick elements by their id (getElementsById), or their tag name (getElementsByTagName), or by simply going through the tree (parentNode, firstChild, lastChild, nextSibling, previousSibling, etc.). Once you have element(s) to work with you can modify them by changing their look, content or position on the page. This interface is also known as the DOM (Document Object Model). So you can do everything with Javascript that another programming language can do, and by using it embedded into wepages you also get an in-memory Object of the current webpage by which you can make changes to the page interactively.
Think of JavaScript like a foriegn language which you are learning, or even know. But if you goto a country where it is spoken, a guide can still help you along, making your journey easier. jQuery is one of many frameworks which provide help in areas that can be frustrating when writing plain JavaScript.
Also, JavaScript has nothing to do with Java, despite the name. 
JQUERY
JQuery is a JavaScript library/framework that handles many commonly used features and also handles the differences between, e.g., Internet Explorer and standards-compliant browsers. It’s something you can use to reduce the amount of work when creating web-based applications.
It is very popular because it (nearly universally) abstracts away cross-browser compatibility issues and it emphasises unobtrusive and callback-driven Javascript programming.
JavaScript is the language itself. While jQuery is a framework for helping you use that language who are doing common web tasks.
Difference between Jquery and Ajax
Jquery simplifies some tedious tasks like manipulating the DOM((search and interact with the DOM), adding some effects and animations and most importantly doing it in a cross browser fashion. One of the tasks that is simplified by jQuery is AJAX which is a concept allowing a browser to send an asynchronous request to a web server allowing for richer web applications. jQuery implements a high-level interface to do AJAX requests abstractly thereby giving multi-browser support in making the request.
jQuery is a library which aims to simplify client side web development in general (the two other above). It creates a layer of abstracion so you can reuse common languages like CSS and HTML in Javascript. It also includes functions which can be used to communicate with servers very easily (AJAX). It is written in Javascript, and will not do everything for you, only makes common tasks easier. It also hides some of the misconceptions and bugs of browsers.
So, Ajax is a technology paradigm, whereas jquery is a library so can’t compare them.
AJAX
AJAX is a method to do an XMLHttpRequest from a web page to the server and send/retrieve data to be used on the web page. It stands for Asynchronous Javascript And XML. It uses javascript to construct an XMLHttpRequest(varies between browsers).
It is a method to dynamically update parts of the UI without having to reload the page – to make the experience more similar to a desktop application.
AJAX is a technique of communication between the browser and the server within a page. Chat is a good example. You write a message, send a message and recive other messages without leaving the page. You can manage this interaction with Javascript on the client side, using an XMLHTTP Object provided by the browser.
To sum up:
AJAX and jQuery uses Javascript
jQuery is for simplifing common tasks with AJAX and page manipulation (style, animation, etc.)
Finally, an example just to see some syntax:
// page manipulation in javascript
var el = document.getElementById(“box”);
el.style.backgroundColor = “#000″;
var new_el = document.createElement(“div”);
el.innerHTML = “<p>some content</p>”;
el.appendChild(new_el);
// and how you would do it in jQuery
$(“#box”)
.css({ “background-color”: “#000″ })
.append(“<div><p>some content</p></div>”);
————
JScript is Microsoft’s version of JavaScript. The programming language itself is very similar to ECMAScript, but the DOM access differs in many respects.
Other frameworks which you might want to look at are things like: Dojo http://www.dojotoolkit.org/ / Prototype http://www.prototypejs.org/
From Stackoverflow: Difference of Apache-Nginx-Mongrel-WEBrick- Phusion passanger – Capistrano
Source: SackOverflow.com
As a newbie to Ruby on rails, i often came across this names and have a huge confusion on knowing all this. But the great article from stackoverflow members, i got a clear cut of all this with difference. Thanks to http://stackoverflow.com/posts/4113570/revisions
Am not taking credits to this article. I feel sharing this which may be useful and i too can have backup.
The word “deployment” can have two meanings depending on the context. You are also confusing the roles of Apache/Nginx with the roles of other components.
Apache vs Nginx
They’re both web servers. They can serve static files but – with the right modules – can also serve dynamic web apps e.g. those written in PHP. Apache is more popular and has more features, Nginx is smaller and faster and has less features.
Neither Apache nor Nginx can serve Rails apps out-of-the-box. To do that you need to use Apache/Nginx in combination with some kind of add-on, described later.
Apache and Nginx can also act as reverse proxies, meaning that they can take an incoming HTTP request and forward it to another server which also speaks HTTP. When that server responds with an HTTP response, Apache/Nginx will forward the response back to the client. You will learn later why this is relevant.
Mongrel vs WEBrick
Mongrel is a Ruby “application server”. In concrete terms this means that Mongrel is an application which:
- Loads your Rails app inside its own process space.
- Sets up a TCP socket, allowing it to communicate with the outside world (e.g. the Internet). Mongrel listens for HTTP requests on this socket and passes the request data to the Rails app. The Rails app then returns an object which describes how the HTTP response should look like, and Mongrel takes care of converting it to an actual HTTP response (the actual bytes) and sends it back over the socket.
WEBrick does the same thing. Differences with Mongrel:
- It is written entirely in Ruby. Mongrel is part Ruby part C; mostly Ruby, but its HTTP parser is written in C for performance.
- WEBrick is slower and less robust. It has some known memory leaks and some known HTTP parsing problems.
- WEBrick is usually only used as the default server during development because WEBrick is included in Ruby by default. Mongrel needs to be installed separately. Nobody uses WEBrick in production environments.
Another Ruby application server that falls under the same category is Thin. While it’s internally different from both Mongrel and WEBrick it falls under the same category when it comes to usage and its overall role in the server stack.
Mongrel and the world
While Mongrel speaks HTTP, nobody puts Mongrel directly on port 80, i.e. when you visit a Rails site your browser never interfaces directly with Mongrel. Mongrel is always put behind a reverse proxy like Apache or Nginx for several reasons:
- Each Mongrel-served Rails app can only handle 1 request concurrently. If you want to handle 2 requests concurrently you need to run multiple Mongrel instances, each serving the same Rails app. This set of Mongrel processes is called a Mongrel cluster. You must then setup Apache or Nginx to reverse proxy to this cluster. Apache/Nginx will take care of distributing requests between the instances in the cluster.
- Mongrel can serve static files, but it’s not particularly good at it. Apache and Nginx can do it faster. People typically set up Apache/Nginx to serve static files directly, but forward requests that don’t correspond with static files to the Mongrel cluster.
You also need to monitor your Mongrel processes. If a process crashes (e.g. because of a bug in your Rails app) then you need to restart it.
Phusion Passenger
Phusion Passenger is also a Ruby application server, but it works differently from Mongrel. Phusion Passenger integrates directly into Apache or Nginx. Instead of starting a Mongrel cluster for your app, and configuring Apache/Nginx to serve static files and/or reverse proxying requests to the Mongrel cluster depending on circumstances, with Phusion you only need to do several things:
- You edit the web server config file and specify the location of your Rails app’s ‘public’ directory.
- There is no step 2.
With Phusion Passenger you do not need to start a cluster or manage processes – Phusion Passenger takes care of all that for you. With Mongrel your cluster always consists of the same number of processes, but Phusion Passenger can start processes for you when your site becomes busy, and shut down processes for you when your site becomes less busy in order to conserve system resources. If your app crashes Phusion Passenger will automatically restart it for you. Phusion Passenger is, for the most part, written in C++. This makes it very fast.
Phusion Passenger can be compared to mod_php for Apache. Just like mod_php allows Apache to serve PHP apps almost magically, Phusion Passenger allows Apache (and also Nginx!) to serve Ruby apps almost magically. Phusion Passenger’s goal is to make everything Just Work(tm) with as less hassle as possible, in so far it is possible; if the system is broken then obviously Phusion Passenger can’t help you either, but at least it will try to give a descriptive error message so that you know how to fix your system.
At this time Phusion Passenger is the most popular Ruby app server for the above reasons.
Note that Phusion Passenger can also run standalone, that is without needing Apache or Nginx. Phusion Passenger Standalone works a bit like Mongrel: you type passenger start in your Rails app’s directory, and it will launch a Phusion Passenger web server which speaks HTTP and directly serves your web app. Unlike Mongrel, Phusion Passenger Standalone can be directly attached to port 80; it still takes care of starting/stopping/monitoring processes for you, and a single Phusion Passenger Standalone instance can handle multiple concurrent requests.
Capistrano
Capistrano is something completely different. In all the previous sections, “deployment” refers to the act of starting your Rails app in an application server so that it becomes accessible to visitors. But before that can happen one typically needs to do some preparation work, such as:
- Uploading the Rails app’s code and files to the server machine.
- Installing libraries that your app depends on.
- Setting up or migrating the database.
- Starting and stopping any daemons that your app might rely on, such as DelayedJob workers or whatever.
- Any other things that need to be done when you’re setting up your application.
In the context of Capistrano, “deployment” refers to doing all this preparation work. Capistrano is not an application server. Instead, it is a tool for automating all that preparation work. You tell Capistrano where your server is and which commands need to be run every time you deploy a new version of your app, and Capistrano will take care of uploading the Rails app to the server for you and running the commands you specified.
Capistrano is always used in combination with an application server. It does not replace application servers. Vice-versa, application servers do not replace Capistrano, they can be used in combination with Capistrano.
Of course you don’t have to use Capistrano. If you prefer to upload your Rails app with FTP and manually running the same steps of commands every time, then you can do that. Other people got tired of it so they automate those steps in Capistrano.
GMDH Shell – a forecasting software
Everyday our mind fickle, Up to me, won’t be in a state. In this challenging life, we try to prove our-self. As a college drop out, i soak my hands in every field to get a positive omen or a way to continue my life journey to prove myself. I too jump into Stock investing, started reading Buffet’s bites to gain some knowledge. I hope his ideas are worth-full. OK! i stop here my personal story.
When was visiting National stock exchange, came to see this software GMDH Shell – a forecasting software. I didn’t get any awe experience. Just i feel sharing, If you know anything, teach me o.0
Here is a about
GMDH Shell – a forecasting software that enables users of all types to easily and accurately forecast their data. It’s developed by Geos Research Group – a privately held and self-funded company founded in 2009 with an idea to build the best forecasting software.
Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is a state of the art predictive modeling technology with accuracy and reliability proven by over 40 years of scientific research.
Development of GMDH Shell led a number of modern approaches to software engineering and predictive data mining that make the software intelligent and fast. We encourage you to read the software documentation to get the best experience with GMDH Shell. Additionally, we will be happy to create a demo project with your own data for you
Data Visualization and Interactive Graphics
GMDH Shell features 12 built-in data visualization and data exploration options including statistics, line and bar charts, 3D scatter plots and surfaces. The program implements so-called in-memory visualization, all charts and graphics are interactive and all changes appear immediately after your input.
Easy-to-Use But Comprehensive Data Manager Tool
Our built-in data manipulation tool called Data Manager provides a simple point-and-click interface for selection of input and output variables, transformation of variables, processing of date and time, application of country-specific holiday calendars, transformations dedicated to time series analysis. You can set up GMDH Shell to extract, transform and load (ETL) your data to a specified file or set of files.
State of the Art Machine Learning and Data Mining Algorithms
There are two main algorithms available. Combinatorial GMDH algorithm that allows you to build simple optimally-complex predictive models without overfitting and GMDH-type neural networks (polynomial neural networks) that give you even more power because of self-tuning flexible architecture and optimally-complex model detection.
GMDH-type neural networks select the number of layers and relevant inputs automatically,
no data normalization is necessary and experimentation results do not vary when you run program with the same settings.Pre-Configured Templates
4 preconfigured problem-specific templates solve time series tasks, perform classification, regression and curve fitting. All templates are already pre-configured for the best results, so you don’t have to adjust core algorithm settings while using templates.
Export of Models to Excel
Models and predictions you create could be easily exported to Excel where you can continue to use Excel environment to analyze results and score new data.

Should you rush up your job search now or wait until 2013?
Sometimes we came across many information what we need but one of this those article will insist us to share which may help the needy hand.This article helped me in different way, but for the job hunters it would be very useful So make use of it
During a sports game, no matter how a team is faring, its players rely on their coach to share a plan for winning the game. The same is true when it comes to your job search. Whether you’ve been making progress or you’re in a rut, it’s up to you — the coach — to determine your next move.
At this point in the year, you have two options in your playbook: ramp up your job search or take time off until 2013. Both moves have their payoffs, but only you know what’s right for Team You.2012 game plan
If you’re not ready to call a timeout just yet, choose from several power plays that’ll help you make progress throughout the rest of the year.CareerBuilder’s midyear job forecast surveyed more than 2,000 hiring managers and human-resource professionals across industries and company sizes about hiring plans for the latter half of 2012. According to the forecast, businesses are planning to hire in a number of functional areas, so they may be good positions to focus on during your search. These areas include:
- Customer service
- Information technology
- Sales
- Administrative
- Business development
- Accounting/finance
- Marketing
You may also want to research newly created positions within companies. According to the forecast, jobs that didn’t exist five years ago are now growing to meet new technology demands, including positions tied to:
- Social media
- Storing and managing data
- Cybersecurity
- Financial regulation
- Promoting diversity inside and outside the organization
- “Green” energy and the environment
- Global relations
2013 game plan
If you want to take the rest of the year off, use the time wisely. Prepare yourself for a quick start in 2013. Here are ways to fill your time productively until the new year begins:
- Seasonal work. Companies that hire temporary workers for the upcoming holiday season begin looking for those employees as early as October. You can gain work experience, references and a paycheck with seasonal work. Also, seasonal positions can sometimes lead to permanent jobs.
- Volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, fill a résumé gap and meet others in your field.
- Network. Attend industry or general networking events, or try online networking through social-media sites such as LinkedIn. Let your family and friends know what kind of position you’re interested in, and connect with others who have similar interests.
- Workshops, training or more education. There may not be enough time left in the year to earn a degree, but you can participate in short-term workshops or training programs. This is another way to avoid résumé gaps, and it also shows potential employers that you’ve stayed up-to-date on industry advancements.
- Revamp your résumé. If you’ve been keeping yourself busy during the back half of the year, you’ll have plenty of new material to include on your résumé. Add new roles, remove outdated activities and be sure to create a customized résumé for each position.

Web based alternatives to Instagram
When i am searching the alternative to Instagram on my WindowsPC, i found Bluestacks player for running android apps in wondowsOS. Bluestacks is lovable android player. Also there are some other hot products out there alternative to instagram. here are they.
PicYou
With PicYou, the most recently launched of these sites, you can sign up using your Twitter or Facebook account to apply filters to your images, with a choice of eight cool vintage, sepia and grunge-like filters. What’s cool about PicYou is that you can apply the filter to the image with the dimensions as is, or you can add a Polaroid-like frame to the image, just as Instagram does.
If you do choose to use a Polaroid-like frame, PicYou also gives you complete control over which part of the image is cropped. After selecting your filter, you can add a title, tags, and auto-share the image with your connected accounts.
PicYou is also a social network unto itself, where you can follow other users, add images to your favourites (or ‘Like’ them), and leave comments. The site also makes it incredibly easy to share images posted on PicYou pretty much anywhere on the Web.
PicPlz
While PicPlz is essentially a mobile app, there is no reason you can’t use the site without having access to the app at all. Simply uploading your images through the browser interface gives you access to all of PicPlz’s cool features. Apply one of PicPlz’s 11 filters, add a caption, and share the image with your followers. With PicPlz, you can choose whether or not to share the image across your connected accounts, including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Posterous, Dropbox and Foursquare.
As with PicYou, the social aspect of PicPlz is just as integral to the site, with the ability to follow other users, add their images to your favourites, and leave comments. An additional feature available in PicPlz is the ability to create collections, so you can keep your own photo library a little bit more organized.
Photoshop
While Photoshop might not be web-based, there’s a one-click solution that makes it easy to apply the exact same filters to your images. Daniel Box put together a set ofactions that mimic some of the filters available on Instagram. After applying the filter, you can choose to crop your image, and add a white or black border.
If you want more control over how your final image turns out, the How-To-Geek has put together a guide on how to get the Nashville and Lord Kelvin effects on your images.
Pixlr-o-Matic
Pixlr-o-Matic has a ton of features you can play around with. You can apply one of 25 filters, 31 film effects, and choose from 30 border styles. Upload an image from your computer, or even take an image with your webcam and experiment with the many effects the site has to offer. Once you have the image looking just the way you want it, you can save it to your computer, or save it online to the integrated storage service, imm.io. If you do choose to save it online, there is no way to delete the image from the site.
InstantRetro
You don’t have to sign up to use InstantRetro. You can simply upload your images and work on them straight away. Alternatively, if you want to share your images with your Facebook friends, you can connect your account to InstantRetro. The site is slightly different to the other options listed here. Rather than providing specific filters to apply to your images, you can tweak and adjust certain settings to give your images a vintage look. Once you’re done, you can save the image on the site, but can also choose to keep it private, viewable only to anyone who has the link.
Picnik
The online photo editor, Picnik has a few vintage effects in its arsenal of features, including a 1960s look and cross processing, as well as a Holga and Lomo effect. The list of effects that are similar to Instagram isn’t too long, but the site also gives you access to basic photo-editing features including adjusting exposure, colors and sharpening, so you can tweak the image to your heart’s content.
Rollip
Rollip is another site you can use without having to sign up at all. It does things in a bit of a roundabout way, where you choose one of 40 filters, after which you can upload your image to see how it looks. You can then easily share the image on Facebook, or save the image to your computer to share wherever you like.
Tiltshift Maker
One of Instagram’s many effects, which isn’t available in any of the previously listed sites, is the tiltshift effect. If you want to get the tiltshift effect, the aptly namedTiltshift Maker gives you an easy way to get that unique, toy-like look that the tiltshift effect provides. With Tiltshift Maker, after uploading your image you can adjust the settings, widening the scope, and intensifying the blur, after which you can save the image to your computer.

Entrepreneurship in India
By Ram Shriram
Published in the Economic
Times, January 2005 There is a palpable desire and
great ambition amongst the
entrepreneurs in India to build
leading, global businesses. We
have seen this vision executed
in the services sectors where entrepreneurs have taken
advantage of India’s depth of
educated talent to offer world-
class services with consistent
high quality, on time delivery
and lower prices. The time has now come for this same vision
to manifest itself in India’s
consumer sector with the
creation of world-class
consumer oriented companies
with a reliance on technology to help scale the business. India’s sustained economic
growth has helped develop a
middle class that is educated,
discerning and ready to
consume. This translates into a
vibrant and growing domestic market that is ready to be
served by a new breed of
technology-enabled consumer
focused enterprises. As an
early member and student of
companies such as Google, Amazon and Netscape the
opportunity to work with such
budding entrepreneurs to
develop businesses that can
grow from serving an
emerging domestic market to serving the global consumer
will be both fun and exciting. The following are some
thoughts that can help
entrepreneurs navigate the
early stages of starting a
business. Understand the market Entrepreneurs should be clear
about the market space they
are entering. Define the size of
the market, the current
competitors and any barriers
to entry. Market sizing is often a difficult step in new
industries as it can be hard to
determine a figure that clearly
states the size of the market.
Entrepreneurs should build a
“top down” as well as “bottoms up” model to
understand the scale of the
opportunity. A top down
model estimates the overall
size of the existing industry
and then tries to estimate the portions of that market that
can be served by the new
offering. A bottoms up model,
starts from the actual service
offering and tries to estimate
the number of consumers that will adopt the new service and
therefore the revenues that
will be generated. As you
assess the market potential be
sure to determine the
competitive points of differentiation and articulate
the clear benefits to the
consumer. Try to identify
technology based competitive
differentiators. Build your team around the
consumer pain points Clearly articulate the pain
points. Entrepreneurs should
be intimately familiar with the
drivers in the industry, the
consumer pain points and the
trends that are influencing change within the sector. In
order to thoroughly
understand the sector,
entrepreneurs should actively
speak to people who work in
the industry and perform a limited test with consumers to
elicit their feedback. As you
begin to understand the
consumer value, use this data
to build the product or service
proposition. Ensure that you build the knowledge and
expertise in your team to
effectively address the
consumer pain. Vision without execution is
worthless Execution is key. While you
may be able to size a market,
articulate a vision and rally a
team around an idea, day-to-
day execution is what creates
value. This is not a small or easy task and can often be an
entrepreneur’s biggest test of
courage, commitment and
conviction. Starting a business
is not for the faint at heart.
Entrepreneurs must define early and often the reasons
why they believe they will be
successful and continue to
organize their team around the
execution needs. That alone
will help them attain their goals. As you go through these
early stages of building the
business obsess about the
customer and ensure that your
first customers are happy, and
become strong word of mouth advocates of your proposition -
it is always more expensive to
try to win over a lost customer
than it is to retain a customer. Closing thoughts Being an entrepreneur is a
great opportunity to build
something that impacts
people’s lives in a positive way.
It provides you with a sense of
freedom, accomplishment and an ability to control your own
destiny. As you set out down
this path remember to be
passionate about your idea and
focus on the details of
execution. Keep your ego in check and manage your team
through inspiration, not fear.
As you bring people on in the
early stages remember that
the DNA of the founders is the
DNA of the company, so pick your team carefully and set an
example for all to follow. We are very excited and proud
to be in India and to play a role
in building the next generation
of leading global businesses.
Bharti on Fear, Mukesh Ambani returning into Communication services once again
After the document settlement between Anil Ambani and Mukesh Ambani in 2002 not to be rival and competitive in same segments, Mukesh went out of the telecom industry. But now he has eye on 4G. His(Mukesh) competitor Bharti has license only for four circles (Maharashtra, New delhi, Kolkata and Punjab), he(RELIANCE) got the license for All-India.
They are planned to launch their service in this august2012 because of infrastructure process. Great news is that it will launch their 4G plan as Rs. 10 per GB. Sound’s good. Yeah, it is said by reliance officials.
As Bharti is major player in Voice communication, Reliance says “We want to do in video what we did in voice in 2002”.
When Mukesh pronounced his return as rival to Bharti, Bharti is reorganizing and made hires for its data business and bet on a new technology for the first time in its history.
Other 4G license winners are
Tikona (five Circles) and Aircel (Eight)

Bajaj RE60
Bajaj unveils its new fashioned vechicle RE60. Trending everywhere that RE60 will give a competition to Tata Nano. In my concept of view, Nona appearance is good than this RE60. Here its First look.
Bajaj gave its inspirational growth.
“Last century was scooters, this century was motorcycle. We have made a remarkable transition from a scooter to a motorcycle company. We’ve gone from selling cheapest scooters in the country to some of the most expensive motorcycles. For the last 8-9 quarters, Bajaj Auto has been the world’s most profitable auto company. There has been valid criticism that Bajaj has not done justice to its 3 wheeler business even though we are largest in world. We have been urged to do something dramatic for the 3 wheeler business, as dramatic as the transformation from Chetak to Pulsar. These are a host of features that are not normal for this segment just like when we launched Pulsar. It’s a testimony to our engineering,” Bajaj added.
Open Source Social Network Platform
Wow! Imagine that you can built a social network platform. sometimes, i think why we should try giving a shot at creating social network but the coding is hard for me. See, now the dream comes true. Guys, start creating your own social network platform and mail me. i will join in your network.

What i learn from Jonah Lehrar’s “How to be creative”
Getting feedbacks, sharing our problems and ideas with other expertise may lead to a good answer. That is cross pollination with experts outside the field.
He says a story for hardest problems. “How POST IT NOTE paper formed” Sometimes, Epiphany view help creating innovation.
Relaxation might help you. Sometimes many breakthroughs happen in the unlikeliest of places.
Einstein once declared, “Creativity is the residue of time wasted.”
Mind it relaxation only won’t help you, you just need to keep on working,
“All great artists and thinkers are great workers” Creativity consists of lot of sweating and failure. It known as Rejecting process.
he only discovered the design because he refused to stop thinking about it.
“feelings of knowing” This ability to calculate progress is an important part of the creative process. If we don’t feel that we’re getting closer, what we can do is forgot about the work for a while. But when those feelings of knowing are telling us that we’re getting close, we need to keep on struggling.
If you’re trying to be more creative, one of the most important things you can do is increase the volume and diversity of the information to which you are exposed.
Steve Jobs famously declared that “creativity is just connecting things.” Although we think of inventors as dreaming up breakthroughs out of thin air, Mr. Jobs was pointing out that even the most far-fetched concepts are usually just new combinations of stuff that already exists. Under Mr. Jobs’s leadership, for instance, Apple didn’t invent MP3 players or tablet computers—the company just made them better, adding design features that were new to the product category.
Mr. Jobs argued that the best inventors seek out “diverse experiences,” collecting lots of dots that they later link together. Instead of developing a narrow specialization, they study, say, calligraphy (as Mr. Jobs famously did) or hang out with friends in different fields. Because they don’t know where the answer will come from, they are willing to look for the answer everywhere.
Found that entrepreneurs with the most diverse friendships scored three times higher on a metric of innovation. Instead of getting stuck in the rut of conformity, they were able to translate their expansive social circle into profitable new concepts.
the ability to be alone with your thoughts. And yet I submit to you that solitude is one of the most important necessities of true leadership.
Kissing up to the people above you, kicking down to the people below you. Pleasing your teachers, pleasing your superiors, picking a powerful mentor and riding his coattails until it’s time to stab him in the back. Jumping through hoops. Getting along by going along.
Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it
You do your best thinking by slowing down and concentrating.
When you expose yourself to those things, especially in the constant way that people do now—older people as well as younger people—you are continuously bombarding yourself with a stream of other people’s thoughts. You are marinating yourself in the conventional wisdom. In other people’s reality: for others, not for yourself. You are creating a cacophony in which it is impossible to hear your own voice, whether it’s yourself you’re thinking about or anything else. That’s what Emerson meant when he said that “he who should inspire and lead his race must be defended from travelling with the souls of other men, from living, breathing, reading, and writing in the daily, time-worn yoke of their opinions.” Notice that he uses the word lead. Leadership means finding a new direction, not simply putting yourself at the front of the herd that’s heading toward the cliff.
So why is reading books any better than reading tweets or wall posts? Well, sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes, you need to put down your book, if only to think about what you’re reading, what you think about what you’re reading. But a book has two advantages over a tweet. First, the person who wrote it thought about it a lot more carefully. The book is the result of his solitude, his attempt to think for himself.
Second, most books are old. This is not a disadvantage: this is precisely what makes them valuable. They stand against the conventional wisdom of today simply because they’re not from today. Even if they merely reflect the conventional wisdom of their own day, they say something different from what you hear all the time. But the great books, the ones you find on a syllabus, the ones people have continued to read, don’t reflect the conventional wisdom of their day. They say things that have the permanent power to disrupt our habits of thought.]
Emerson meant when he said that “the soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude
Introspection means talking to yourself, and one of the best ways of talking to yourself is by talking to another person. One other person you can trust, one other person to whom you can unfold your soul. One other person you feel safe enough with to allow you to acknowledge things—to acknowledge things to yourself
The Trouble With Non-tech Cofounders
This is a guest post by Scott Allison, CEO and founder of Teamly.com.
It seems learning to code has become a theme in 2012, and the demand is being met by Code Year and others. I want to reflect on my experience as a non-technical founder and reassess my original decision - almost two years ago - to stick to what I’m good at, and not waste time learning to code.
SaaS, PaaS and IaaS! What They Mean, and Why You Should Care?
I love talking about business which is billions. that’s how the cloud impressed me. May be you have heard of it already what the cloud means. but this will explain the basics of different cloud services..
knowledge pays a big! So know whats this
What is SaaS?
Software as a service (SaaS) is aptly referred to as software “on demand.” SaaS solutions offer subscription-based access to enterprise applications that service a vast range of functions and departmental needs and are hosted securely in cloud data centers. Many, if not all, of the enterprise products offered by Google and Salesforce offer prime examples of SaaS solutions.
Organizations that operate on SaaS solutions such as Google Apps and salesforce.com are no longer burdened with the time-consuming and costly task of managing software updates, security patches and a host of other administrative duties for on-premise software solutions. SaaS ensures that these tasks are managed quickly, efficiently and affordably on the back-end so that IT teams have more time to work on projects that propel the business forward.
What is PaaS?
Platform as a service (PaaS) is defined in its name; it is the platform that hosts applications provided in software as a service. For example, Google App Engine is a PaaS that hosts Google Apps and a multitude of other softwares-as-a-service. PaaS provides all the infrastructure needed to run applications over the Internet, and is delivered in the same way as a utility like electricity or water. Users simply “tap in” and take what they need without worrying about the complexity behind the scenes. And like a utility, PaaS is based on a metering or subscription model so users only pay for what they use. Examples of PaaS are Google App Engine, Force.com and Heroku.
What is IaaS?
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) enables businesses to move information from on-site servers into the Cloud. It provides a remote virtual hosting server for file storage, as it enables a user to save all of their file types in a virtual host and retrieve them from anywhere with an internet connection. Examples of IaaS are Google Compute Engine, Google Cloud Storage and Google Big Query.

Impressing Story from Our OpenERP founder, Fabien Pinckaers
I was in the process of searching a good CRM software for my company. I have to skip SugarCRM and Vtiger as the interface very old and muddy. Zurmo is something clean and simple. I already came across OpenERP, but this time there is a title impressing me with slapping SAP organisation. Here is that Image
It was shocking to see “sorry SAP”. I had google that there might be a expansion for this SAP. but nothing. Then i switch to older version of OpenERP site, there i found the the article of Mr. Fabien. Just read this, you would understand everything. Really his words are very interesting.
Start>
I needed to change the world. I wanted to … You know how it is when you are young; you have big dreams, a lot of energy and naïve stupidity. My dream was to lead the enterprise management market with a fully open source software. (I also wanted to get 100 employees before 30 years old with a self-financed company but I failed this one by a few months).
To fuel my motivation, I had to pick someone to fight against. In business, it’s like a playground. When you arrive in a new school, if you want to quickly become the leader, you must choose the class bully, the older guy who terrorises small boys, and kick his butt in front of everyone. That was my strategy with SAP, the enterprise software giant.
So, in 2005, I started to develop the TinyERP product, the software that (at least in my mind) would change the enterprise world. While preparing for the “day of the fight” in 2006, I bought the SorrySAP.com domain name. I put it on hold for 6 years, waiting for the right moment to use it. I thought it would take 3 years to deprecate a 77 billion dollars company just because open source is so cool. Sometimes it’s better for your self-motivation not to face reality…
To make things happen, I worked hard, very hard. I worked 13 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no vacations for 7 years. I lost friendships and broke up with my girlfriend in the process (fortunately, I found a more valuable wife now. I will explain later why she is worth 1 million EUR
Three years later, I discovered you can’t change the world if you are “tiny”. Especially if the United States is part of this world, where it’s better to be a BigERP, rather than a TinyERP. Can you imagine how small you feel in front of Danone’s directors asking; “but why should we pay millions of dollars for a tiny software?” So, we renamed TinyERP to OpenERP.
As we worked hard, things started to evolve. We were developing dozens of modules for OpenERP, the open source community was growing and I was even able to pay all employees’ salaries at the end of the month without fear (which was a situation I struggled with for 4 years).
In 2010, we had a 100+ employees company selling services on OpenERP and a powerful but ugly product. This is what happens when delivering services to customers distracts you from building an exceptional product.
It was time to do a pivot in the business model.The Pivot
We wanted to switch from a service company to a software publisher company. This would allow to increase our efforts in our research and development activities. As a result, we changed our business model and decided to stop our services to customers and focus on building a strong partner network and maintenance offer. This would cost money, so I had to raise a few million euros.
After a few months of pitching investors, I got roughly 10 LOI from different VCs. We chosed Sofinnova Partners, the biggest European VC, and Xavier Niel the founder of Iliad, the only company in France funded in the past 10 years to have reached the 1 billion euro valuation.
I signed the LOI. I didn’t realize that this contract could have turned me into a homeless person. (I already had a dog, all I needed was to lose a lot of money to become homeless). The fund raising was based on a company valuation but there was a financial mechanism to re-evaluate the company up by 9.8 m€ depending on the turnover of the next 4 years. I should have received warrants convertible into shares if we achieved the turnover targeted in the business plan.
The night before receiving the warrants in front of the notary, my wife checked the contracts. She asked me what would be the taxation on these warrants. I rang the lawyer and guess what? Belgium is probably the only country in the world where you have to pay taxes on warrants when you receive them, even if you never reach the conditions to convert them into shares. If I had accepted these warrants, I would have had to pay a 12.5% tax on 9.8 m€; resulting in a tax of 1.2m€ to pay in 18 months! So, my wife is worth 1.2 million EUR. I would have ended up a homeless person without her, as I still did not have a salary at that time.
We changed the deal and I got the 3 million EUR. It allowed me to recruit a rocking management team.
Being a mature company
With this money in our bank account, we boosted two departments: R&D and Sales. We burned two million EUR in 18 months, mostly in salaries. The company started to grow even faster. We developed a partner network of 500 partners in 100 countries and we started to sign contracts with 6 zeros.
Then, things became different. You know, tedious things like handling human resources, board meetings, dealing with big customer contracts, traveling to launch international subsidiaries. We did boring stuff like budgets, career paths, management meetings, etc.
2011 was a complex year. We did not meet our expectations: we only achieved 70% of the forecasted sales budget. Our management meetings were tense. We under performed. We were not satisfied with ourselves. We had a constant feeling that we missed something. It’s a strange feeling to build extraordinary things but to not be proud of ourselves.
But one day, someone (I don’t remember who, I have a goldfish memory) made a graph of the monthly turnover of the past 2 years. It was like waking up from a nighmare. In fact, it was not that bad, we had multiplied by 10 the monthly turnover over the span of roughly two years! This is when we understood that OpenERP is a marathon, not a sprint. Only 100% growth a year is ok… if you can keep the rhythm for several years.
OpenERP Monthly Turnover
As usual, I should have listened to my wife. She is way more lucid than I am. Every week I complained to her “it’s not good enough, we should grow faster, what am I missing?” and she used to reply; “But you already are the fastest growing company in Belgium!”. (Deloitte awarded us as the fastest growing company of Belgium with 1549% growth of the turnover between 2007 and 2011)
Changing the world
Then, the dream started to become reality. We started to get clues that what we did would change the world:
- With 1.000 installations per day, we became the most installed management software in the world,
- Analysts from Big 4 started to prefer OpenERP over SAP,
- OpenERP is now a compulsory subject for the baccalaureate in France like Word, Excel and Powerpoint
- 60 new modules are released every month (we became the wikipedia of the management software thanks to our strong community)
Something is happening… And it’s big!
OpenERP 7.0 is about to be released and I know you will be astonished by it.
The official release is planned for the 21th of December. As the Mayas predicted it, this is the end of an age, the old ERP dinosaurs.
It’s time to pull out the Ace: the SorrySAP.com domain name that I bought 6 years ago.
