Application development environment setup

Setup for application development right click and save images for bigger version Installing Java JAVA JDK Download In my experience I have found that starting your enviroment setup with java is best. In the system variables I made a new variable called it JAVA_HOME , and I set the value to: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79 . After that, I edited PATH , which is also in the system variables and I added : ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin . In command prompt enter javac -version, if you see a return message javac 1.7.0_79 or something similar you can continue, I cant tell you how important it is to get this right, just know that things will go wrong at unexpected times.

Review : The new Pushtape Installation profile for Drupal 7 - Yay or nay?

AuthorRank: Google Have you heard of Pushtape?  Don't worry me neither.  But after this blog post we will definitely be sure if its a Drupal yay or nay.  The reason I chose this Installation profile as the theme for my post is simple, to make sites for bands in your community is an easy way to get your foot in the web development scene if you are just starting out.  All band sites basically works in the same way which means that you can just duplicate your site structure every time. OK so here we go. Pushtape is a new Installation Profile for Drupal 7 that focuses on musicians, it comes supplied with a discography framework, you can very easily post new events like shows, there is a custom photo gallery where you can upload multiple photos as a set and of course a nice looking news type blog for all those quick updates. The installation was really easy, clean, very well customized and quick. I use WebMatr...

SEO and Online Marketing made easy thanks to McGraw!

Probably the best SEO and online marketing book for beginners.   Buy this book now! About 6 months ago I was wondering around aimlessly on the internet trying to figure out how to start my own online marketing campaign, it was really hard finding the right articles to read, to my frustration they all said the same thing over and over again, I was a total noob, and the masters of SEO wasn't going to be much help.  It was hard getting all these new terms, what they meant and how one was suppose to use them, looking at google analytics made my eyes hurt and webmaster tools almost made me pass out,  I had no idea what keywords and key phrases were, what country meta tags came from and if we were destined to be friends at all. Then out of the blue an Angel( www.amazon.com ) saw my suffering and handed me a book that would open my eyes forever. I promise you, that this book will help even the most computer illiterate person out there get to a point ...
