Web Designer V/S Web Developer:Differences in the Work Pattern

Website is quite a common term to everyone these days. Even children at their teen have access to the term.

The reality is that both terms are separate entities having some relatively close connections.   For making things more simple, let us put it in such a way that a website has two faces; one the front end that is visible […]

15M People Worldwide Can Now Access Web Via Internet.org

Facebook’s controversial free Internet project, Internet.org, has now brought 15 million people worldwide online who would otherwise have remained offline, according to comments from Mark Zuckerberg at a Townhall Q&A in India on Wednesday.

Popular PHP Frameworks

t seems that the most popular PHP frameworks are: Laravel (1st), Phalcon (2nd), and Symphony2 (3rd). I found the following graphic (from December 2013) that highlights popularity by percentage of the market (though I can’t guarantee its accuracy). As far as jobs go, on Dice.com only Laravel had more than 3 positions referring to the framework by name.
