Tomato Cart – the new generation of eCommerce
By admin | 1 comment
1TomatoCart is a new and distinctive open source shopping cart solution. It is forked from osCommerce 3 as a separate project and is free to use and modify. From a technical viewpoint, it employs Web2.0 technology such as Ajax and Rich Internet applications (RIAs) in order to provide users with a system of its own.
The web desktop application is totally different from traditional web pages. Traditional web pages use plain HTML which only supports limited graphic control and takes several pages to finish one complicated task. The page-to-page loading time does really lower down efficiency. Even though using Ajax could improve the efficiency a little, it might not satisfy the increasing demands of customers for high efficiency.
Tomato Cart’s application mimics the user experience of desktop Operating System, offering features and applications similar to a PC environment. As such, it is fairly easy for both beginners and professionals to get acquainted with it, and even master it. Additionally, it supports multi-window operations and that enables users to work with several modules simultaneously.

Adobe BrowserLab: cross browser and platform testing intr-un singur browser
By admin | 1 comment
1Ever since the times of Netscape and the early Internet Explorer versions we have been discussing useful cross browser testing setups. I’ve seen through my career as (web-)developer, tech lead, test lead, project manager and account manager very different setups of addressing the issue of different behaviors of webpages and applications in different browsers because of different maturity levels of the software and different sets of standards and their interpretation implemented. Those include multi screen setups, two or more computers next to each other and virtualization on local or remote machines. I think one of the most popular setups by the way is to ignore cross platform and brower and hope for all on the team to only use standards that are well supported. 
Ever since the native support of Windows on the (Intel) Mac platform a lot of us have settled with a local virtualization engine on Mac OS that allows you to run most of the browsers and platforms out there today. It still sometimes remains cumbersome to connect all those machines to the dev environment that you are working on and keeping those environments up to date with virus protection and software support.
After all those years Adobe is now finally coming up with something really useful: Adobe BrowserLab.
BrowserLab provides web designers exact renderings of their web pages in multiple browsers and operating systems, on demand. BrowserLab is a powerful solution for cross-browser compatibility testing, featuring multiple viewing and comparison tools, as well as customizable preferences. Since BrowserLab is an online service, it can be accessed from virtually any computer connected to the web. Also, Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4 software users have access to additional functionality such as testing local and active content.
It is currently free to use, but the offering is limited and I guess Adobe will ask some money for this over time, especially when adding additional platforms and browsers.
As of today the service supports
- Firefox 2.X and 3.X (Windows XP and Mac OS X)
- Internet Explorer 6.X and 7.X (Windows XP)
- Safari 3.X (Mac OS X)
With Dreamweaver CS4, BrowserLab adds the ability to test local content and different states of interactive pages.
See details on the labs page here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/browserlab/, the service is available here: https://browserlab.adobe.com/
synkia.ro : fa-ti back-up gratuit la telefon

Synkia este un sistem de management al informatiilor usor de folosit pentru telefonul dumneavoastra mobil.
Cand va setati telefonul pentru a functiona cu Synkia, va setati software-ului de sincronizare deja instalat pe telefon de catre producator sa se conecteze la serverul synkia pentru a schimba informatii.
Prima data cand va conectati la server trebuie sa va transferati toate datele de pe telefon pe server. Data viitoare cand va conectati la server, telefonul compara informatiile, iar numai informatiile ce au fost modificate vor fi transferate. Aceste modificari pot fi adaugari, modificari si stergeri. Daca achizitionati un nou telefon si il setati sa se poata conecta la Synkia, telefonul va fi gol iar serverul plin, asa ca toate informatiile intrate pe server se vor transfera pe noul telefon.
Serviciul Synkia este gratuit.
Veti fi taxat doar pentru transmiterea datelor conform planurilor tarifare ale Operatorilor de telefonie mobila.
Mai multe informatii puteti gasi pe site-ul oficial www.synkia.ro
OpenSTA test tool review
By george | 1 comment

OpenSTA (Open System Testing Arhitecture) este un tool de testare automata construit in jurul lui CORBA si are ca scop principal rularea de “load tests” peste HTTP si HTTPs si masurarea performantelor acestor teste. In acest articol ne propunem sa face un scurt review al acestui tool, in speranta ca il veti gasi util necesitatilor voastre.
Lucrul care m-a atras in a-i face un review este bineinteles faptul ca e “free”, adica nu costa nimic 
si sincer mi se pare un tool destul de puternic desi are cateva limitari pe care le vom sublinia in randurile ce urmeaza.
