One developer's view of the pros and cons of the two most popular means of building web applications
When it comes to Web development these days, you have a lot of options. Many of these methods involve preprocessing—that is, embedding code into HTML pages with special tags that signal to a preprocessor that they contain code, and that it should do something with it. Much like a CGI, this code is then run on the server, and it returns some content, which then assumes part of the shape of the resulting HTML page sent back to the browser. Both the open source scripting language PHP and languages within Microsoft's ASP.NET framework fall into this category; JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Perl/Mason operate this way as well.

A step-by-step guide to developing online courses.
Abstract
Many institutions of higher education (IHE) are grappling with ways to implement and manage online instruction by using local personnel and resources, purchasing some components of management, or outsourcing distance education entirely. While each institution will make decisions that meets its unique needs, it is important to know about the range of possibilities available to university administrators today. The major problems confronting IHE's are twofold: (1) the lack of technical skill among faculty members to convert their courses into online formats, and (2) the need to support and manage distance education. This article provides an overview of the most popular online educational delivery applications.
This document represents a compilation of fundamental principles for designing user interfaces, which have been drawn from various books on interface design, as well as my own experience. Most of these principles can be applied to either command-line or graphical environments. I welcome suggestions for changes and additions -- I would like this to be viewed as an "open-source" evolving document.
You'd be surprised. I don't know about Cambodia, but I was surprised at the number of tvs in homes in Guatemala. Homes that had no toilet, dirt floors, and no running water, nonetheless had tv. Some with antennas, but one group of homes had satellite.
