Mozilla’s chairman Mitchell Baker on the rapid release process

Friday, August 26th, 2011

firefox6Web developer’s community is actively discussing the new approach of Mozilla, where it delivers a new version of Firefox every 6 weeks. The main issue is compatibility of the popular add-ons like FireBug, FireShot, PixelPerfect, SeoQuake and others with the newer versions, that may lead to certain troubles in website design and development. At present moment all these important plug-ins work rpoperly only with Fireforx 3.6. That’s why the news that version 3.6 of the world’s most popular browser won’t be supported after the next Firefox release does not add optimism. (more…)

Our Irish guests

Friday, June 24th, 2011

racecallerYesterday at our office we’ve had a meeting with the representatives of Racecaller - an independent website for the horse racing community based in Dublin, Ireland. It was agreed that Softheme will do redesign and add powerful social module, that will be integrated with all popular social networks.

We’ve been successfully working with the client for as long as 5 years. Softheme developed the portal, did its performance tuning, redesign, provided QA services and created multiple white labels.

Racecaller.com is part of Horses Mouth Limited, a registered Irish Company based in Dublin. It is an independent website for the horse racing community - it is free to use, all we ask is for people to register to access certain areas of the site (we operate a strict privacy policy ensuring your details are never shared with any third parties).

So what’s better: Linux PHP or Windows ASP.NET?

web-devEach time when a company needs to create a website, it’s managers consider (at least) three Web development platforms: Microsoft’s ASP.NET/IIS/Windows Server, Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (the LAMP), and Sun Java J2EE.x.

What are the principle differences between them?

J2EE requires expensive high-power servers and it’s hard to implement it in most shared or dedicated hosting environments.

ASP.NET is usually chosen by Microsoft-savvy coders. The development tools are similar to every other MS application and the learning curve is relatively short. But the deployment of such systems is more expensive, than with the LAMP, because requires licensed Microsoft software.

LAMP has become so popular both for its functionality and the fact that it’s all open source (no licensing fees!). The installation of both ASP.NET and LAMP is not complicated, and we can’t say that in this aspect one of them is better than the other.

So what’s better for your web solution? (more…)
