Remodelaciones de Sitios Web - Analogía July 30, 2008

Posted by developpeur in : Español, Internet Hispano, Web Development , add a comment

A veces es difícil explicarle a un cliente los procesos, terminologías y situaciones colaterales implícitas en el desarrollo web, las analogías son una forma de explicar de una manera más coloquial de tal forma que sea sencillo su entendimiento.

Para el caso de este post, o sea Remodelación de un Sitio Web, tomaremos como analogía la remodelación de una casa. Así que primeramente hay que contextualizarnos asignando equivalencias. Para el caso de esta analogía solamente tomaremos 3 elementos del proceso de construcción de una casa: Planos, Obra Negra y Acabados. Equiparándolos con los procesos de desarrollo web: Diseño, Programación, Integración.

Explico cada uno:

A fin de aclarar las situaciones que confunden en las remodelaciones, he asignado una escala de acuerdo al nivel de modificación que se requiera:

Por lo anterior es sumamente importante al momento de crear o remodelar un sitio web (como lo es en una casa) observar los siguientes detalles:

XML-RPC the pinging core November 8, 2007

Posted by developpeur in : Blogs, English, Web Development , add a comment

Ok. A fast note on XML-RPC just in case I ever need a server implementation of this kind, this application tracks changes to news-oriented websites. Should be useful when developing a blog’s directory or a pinging service.

XML-RPC it’s a spec and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet.

It’s remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned.

Also note that there are 2 methods: weblogUpdates.ping and weblogUpdates.extendedPing

Unzip and run SWF files in your hard drive November 6, 2007

Posted by developpeur in : English, Flash, Web Development, Xcelsius , add a comment

Ok. Here goes a small tutorial… I made a video of the process, then upload it to YouTube, and it got a little blury, anyway you may watch it here and I’ll describe the steps below (BTW all this happens on Windows XP):

You will need the latest WinZip version:
http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm

And the latest Flash Player version:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

The steps to unzip and run:

  1. Right-click the *.zip file and select “Extract to here”
  2. A new folder will be created with the zip’s file name and folder stucture.
  3. Open that new folder and find the SWF file.
  4. Right-click the *.swf file find the “Open with” menu
  5. Click on “Choose program” and scroll-down to “Macromedia Flash Player 8” (or higher version).
  6. File should open.

You may also choose Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) instead of Macromedia Flash Player 8 for opening the file, which is usually the default option but it will probably take longer and send some security messages or errors, and maybe won’t open some linked elements in the SWF file.

I strongly recommend the Macromedia Flash Player option.
