Attended #CairoCodeCamp

Abdo — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:11:34 +0000

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back with some updates I attended #CairoCodeCamp http://CairoCodeCamp.com at the German University in Cairo, enjoyed it much and met some awesome people there.

Had the pleasure to attend couple of sessions for Miguel A. Castro The DotNetDude http://www.dotnetdude.com/ His comments about driving in Egypt and the belly driver cracked me up, plus his web security session playing with HTTP handles made a lot of sense.

I was also impressed by Scott Hanselman's presentation style, we all agreed that he's such an amazing speaker, the presentation's content was amazing and we felt like we're in a stand-up comedy show. Will be definetly keeping an eye on his activities and blog http://www.hanselman.com/blog/

Ahmed Essam gave us an introduction to the mobile development world, something I'm intending to invest some time on in the future.

How to add an application to your Facebook page?

Abdo — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:51:33 +0000

Hi Everyone,

I posted a blog before complaining about not being able to locate the video application in couple of my Facebook pages, @DeveloperMan and @Al-Adham Web Solutions.

While adding SlideShare, the guys there supplied an obvious link to the instructions in the application page, I was ignoring the application's fans page and rushing to the page itself, thinking that its obvious that such facility should be in the application page, not the fans page!

I didn't believe my eyes, when I saw that the link to add any FB application to your page is just below the link I was always rushing for!

I checked a lot of other applications and found that the majority of applications have the same link and could be easily added to any page, the same way.

So, If you want to add an application to your Facebook page, search for the application from here: http://facebook.com/applications/

Then from the application page click "Add to my page", chose the page you'd like to add the application for and you're done.

Good Luck

DeveloperMan is using Disqus

Abdo — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:01:14 +0000

Hi,

As I'm doing serious preparation to launch the blog by September, 1st. I thought about making the blog much more engaging. So, I added Disqus as the commenting framework to DeveloperMan today.

More info about Disqus could be found here: http://disqus.com/docs/about/

I decided to make Disqus installation and configurations a part of the upcoming WordPress tutorials series.

Still not sure about the blog launching date, but mostly will be September, 1st. As I get the Chromakey and screen recording tutorials issues sorted out. That will be my 22th birthday too

Stay tuned ..

DeveloperMan, Future Vision ..

Abdo — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:52:51 +0000

Hi All,

I had time with myself today, to plan a head for DeveloperMan and came up with the titles I'll be covering throughout the first phase of the project.

Indeed, I expect to boost my own skill-set and skill-level as the result of preparing for these tutorials, plus, positioning myself as a competent professional and getting more business.

Once that's finished, say by mid 2011 (22 months), I'll exceed to the next phase. Especially, I'll be graduated by then from my Engineering school.

There are going to be 2 main target audience:

Business Professionals:

I'll be going through some titles for business professionals subjected to taking development decisions, or want to manage their own websites, or a part of the process themselves.

Development Newbies:

That's the main target audience, as the product from DeveloperMan is going to be knowledge products and may be online services too, depending on how the project will develop during its initial phase.

Titles:

Going open source:

WordPress

Elgg

Joomla!

Drupal

OsCommerce

ZenCart

Magento

Design background:

Illustrator basics

Photoshop for web designers

Flash workaround

Dreamweaver

Web design concepts:

Layout, design and Usability

Accessibility

Web Standards

Coding basics:

XHTML

CSS

Using JQuery

Web administration:

Domain registration

Web Hosting & Server Configurations

Project management:

Web Projects Work flow

Ideal communication

Internet Marketing:

Search Engines Optimization (SEO)

Blogging

Social Media Marketing

Facebook as a Business Platform

Internet Advertising (FB/Adwords/Affiliate Marketing)

Web Development:

Programming Basics

PHP Basics ( Getting your hands dirty)

PHP Intermediate Technique ( OOP and Frameworks)

Advanced PHP (Web 2.0 Mashups)

Building a CMS using PHP

Building an Ecommerce site using PHP

More web development technologies:

ColdFusion

Ruby On Rails

Python

ASP.NET

Software Development:

Concepts, how to approach the problem

Software Development Cycle

Database Design

SQL Queries

VB.NET

C#

Packaging and Protection Programming

Couple of software projects

In case you think I'm crazy thinking about covering all that, check my profile, to understand that I personally went through all these technologies; acquiring so much knowledge, with not so much practicing in all technologies - not similar in everything -, but competent enough to carry out a professional level of training.

Stay tuned.

Experimenting with Chromakey videos

DeveloperMan Ecademy Club

Further planning – WordPress Tutorials

Abdo — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 21:51:37 +0000

Hey There,

As you see, I had been posting blogs about news and different ideas that pop-up to my mind at a certain time, trying to maintain one blog post per day, I think we're approaching the stage of starting the real work.

The main planning for the blog was to produce quality tutorials for both novice developers and business professionals, next week I'll be going through a stage of planning to present how to use some of the most famous open sources applications like WordPress & Joomla!

WordPress seems the candidate as the first framework to experiment with while preparing the tutorials as, lately, I worked with 5 active installations (abdo.me, developerman, al-adham, egypt-designers, egypreneur).

So, I think I'll be making a trial video tutorial and publish it by tomorrow, while still will keep experimenting with videos and Chromakey.

All the best
