Daily Factoid: Web Development (22-Feb-12)

February 22nd, 2012

Discussing Web Design …

The most technically trained internet professionals are generally the web developers. Along with being proficient in HTML, XML and CSS, web-developers will understand other respected programming languages like Visual Basic, ‘PHP’, Java, ‘C#’ and ASP.Net etc. Many also have an effective understanding of ‘SQL’, the Database language – as the information on many sizable modern web sites is stored in this particular ‘language’. The majority of E-commerce internet sites aren’t the result of a sizable group of web designers who have created 1000s of web-pages in a layout form. Instead, a place holder template will have been created, and the details will be ‘dynamically’ inserted from a database. Besides being massively easier to construct, manage & update, it also helps with the ‘feel’ of the web-site remaining constant.

Daily Factoid: SQL Server (21-Feb-12)

February 21st, 2012

The leading database programs in use all over the world are MS ‘SQL’ Server and ‘Oracle’. Oracle is an older System which is still used on large scale installations, but SQL-Server is more common today in typical commercial-environments; SQL has become the de-facto standard for Databases on the internet. Microsoft has incorporated SQL Server technology in to all the MS programming languages & platforms – making it an obvious option over Oracle where Database training goes.

The MCITP (‘Microsoft Certified IT Professional’) and ‘MCTS’ (‘Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist’) programs have succeeded the older ‘MCDBA’ (‘Microsoft Certified Database Administrator’) certifications. Though ‘SQL’ Server ’08 is beginning to gain some foothold, the current widespread commercial edition of Microsoft SQL Server is 2005, and it’s this release that features in the ‘MCITP’ DBA certification. In order to attain the full MCITP accreditation, several MCTS modules have to be completed first.

Daily Factoid: IT Career First Steps (20-Feb-12)

February 20th, 2012

Get rid of a salesman who recommends a training program without a thorough investigation so as to understand your abilities plus your experience level. Ensure that they have a expansive choice of training products so they’re able to give you an appropriate solution. With a strong background, or maybe some live experience (possibly even some previous certification?) then it could be that your starting point will be different from a student that is completely new to the industry. If this is going to be your opening effort at studying for an IT examination then you might also want to start out with some basic Microsoft package and Windows skills first.

Daily Factoid: Microsoft Skills Training (19-Feb-12)

February 19th, 2012

To a lot of people, ‘Microsoft’ suggests ‘Windows’ (the Operating System which runs your family computer.) It might also mean Microsoft ‘Office’, which provides us with an array of common-place computer applications. ‘Word’ is Microsoft’s word-processing program, known to many millions all over the world. Whilst ‘Excel’ is the most widely used spreadsheet and Access offers database abilities to many organisations. The final one of the main 4 programs in Office is PowerPoint, which is widely used for delivering presentations. In reality though ‘Microsoft’ have developed their Office solution a lot further – for example with Outlook for messaging, diary formatting & emailing.

Daily Factoid: IT Skills (18-Feb-12)

February 18th, 2012

Practically all non-IT related roles (ninety two percent of jobs) which were advertised during late ’08 were deemed to need some level of IT user ability; yet practically 1/3rd of interviewers stated the required skillsets were lacking in the average applicant. The fact is that staff from all industries must now have the ability to use computer systems more proficiently. Not only will they need enhanced abilities in basic software & IT technology, they will also increasingly need to have a much deeper knowledge of IT security ramifications & technical support functions.
