As I was researching a little for code generation solutions used mainly to generate code for ORM-based solutions in .NET (which are great for web developments based on databases, CMS, etc), I’ve stumbled upon a new architecture called PLINQO. This so called improved LINQ-to-SQL is interesting enough for me to check.
The real bonus is that by publishing this article, I would allegedly get a free $200 CodeSmith Professional license. Well, it’s worth the shot.
I will update regarding this offer and PLINQO when I get the chance to examine it more closely.
Update: I received a free CodeSmith Professional license for this post. It’s FREE! Go get yours!

When you install Joomla for the first time, you discover an annoying sentence on top of your articles “Welcome To The FrontPage”.
Joomla, being a complex Content Management System, does not make it easy to locate and destroy that hazard.
In order to remove or replace that text with a new text, simply log in to the administration interface.

So what is my MySQL database version?
Whether you’re interested to know that your MySQL database has strong Unicode support or you want to verify that the CMS you’re installing is supported by your server. It’s always good to know your MySQL version.
There are many ways to check. In this article I will demonstrate a few. Hopefully, at least one will work for you.
1. PHPMyAdmin
PHPMyAdmin is the most popular administration web tool for MySQL. It is free, and thus installed on most servers that use MySQL. Enquire your hosting service for the web address of PHPMyAdmin installed on your server.

WordPress is one of the most exciting Open Source Content Managemant Systems (CMS) currently on the web. It started in 2003 and became popular as people discovered its simplicity and usefulness. While still not perfect, numerous plug-ins already exist, or you can write by one yourself (with a little knowledge of PHP).
WordPress was designed at first as a personal publishing system. It’s best working on a Linux-based server, although a Windows Server would do just fine as long as it has PHP & MySQL database installed and running. WordPress is an Open Source project which means that you can freely use and modify it for personal or commercial use, which is another reason that makes it so popular.
As of today, the current version of WordPress is 2.85.
WordPress 2.9 introduce an upgrade for system requirements which kick out MySQL 4.0 as the minimum in favor of MySQL 4.1. This may sound like a small requirement change, but for some it’s a hazardous one. If your server doesn’t run at least MySQL 4.1, you will probably not be able to install, not upgrade to next version of WordPress.

This website is dedicated to evolving web development, content management systems and various web technologies popular today. Web developments are changing quickly, now more than ever. You must stay up-to-date as often as possible if you don’t want to fall behind.
It may be sad to say, but the internet as we know it will not exist in the far future. That said, most of the technologies and systems we’re dealing with today, as well as most of the websites will become obsolete. Everyone who remembers what happened to the ancient bulletin board systems (BBS) is able to comprehend that the same future awaits for our internet. It will not happen during the following decades, but eventually, everything will be gone, replaced by a revolutionary technology.
