PHP Applications: Pt 4 – SquirrelMail

by Robby Pedrica 19 October 2011 Applications

Squirrelmail is one of the old guard, starting life out in 1999 already. Written to HTML 4 specs, SqM tries to be as compatible as possible with the widest range of browsers. This also alludes to the fact that SqM is bare-bones at the core, with standard email functionality and not much more. The idea [...]

PHP Applications: Pt 3 – Dokuwiki

by Robby Pedrica 11 October 2011 Applications

Wikis have come of age in the last few years, and provide a means of collating and storing documentation in a shared manner without the overhead of a full document management system. Dokuwiki itself is a flat file-based solution making backups, management and installation straightforward. Installation is as simple as transferring the installation files to [...]

PHP Applications: Pt 2 – phpMyAdmin

by Robby Pedrica 22 September 2011 Applications

No discussion of MySQL is complete without mentioning phpMyAdmin, ( in my opinion ) the best web-based management tool around. PMA has grown from a simple web client to a full featured MySQL management interface with a lot of bells and whistles. The current release of PMA ( 3.4.x ) requires at minimum php 5.2 [...]

PHP Applications: Pt 1 – Mantis

by Robby Pedrica 19 September 2011 Applications

I’ll be doing a series of articles on PHP applications over the next few weeks and months. As a preface to these, some background is necessary. PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that was inked with Web development in mind, and it produces dynamic web pages. PHP pages are interpreted on the fly using a [...]

The Cloud, Security and IT skills

by Robby Pedrica 6 September 2011 Applications

Seeing as everyone is writing about Cloud Computing lately, I thought I’d rehash some of my concerns about this ‘new’  technology. New in parenthesis because the idea is actually quite old, coming from the time-sharing Unix systems of the 60′s and 70′s. Cloud obviously takes this to a new level ( supposedly with non-stop availability [...]

Feedback: Debunking the Cloud in SA

by Marlon Duminy 5 September 2011 Applications

For my first official contribution to ITPRO Africa I deemed it appropriate to comment about the ITPRO Africa Cloud Computing Event held in Cape Town on Thurs 1 September. As a server and network administrator for a fairly large South African corporation, it’s not something that gets discussed. Cloud Computing is generally referred to in [...]
