Does Real Developers Need Designers?

Whether a developer could be mutually work a desktop developer and a Web developer?

“Desktop Developers do not have designers! Inquire anybody that who designed the application and we will scrape our heads and mumble….”

It is very fascinating to imagine about the distinction between desktop and web applications and the level of design each acquires. There is some fact that Desktop applications do not need designers to the level that Web applications do. Actually, the majority of desktop applications have released without the involvement of designers.

While you sense about it, nearly all consistent desktop applications make use of standard windows colors, margins, and controls. That is the beauty with an operating system like Windows. Each and every O.S has its place. But Windows facilitate us with its style. There have built-in Ok and Cancel buttons, and they are normally positioned on the bottom of the page. If you go after the standards for design that have been developed by Microsoft and other operating systems for constructing Windows applications, you hastily understood that there is not that much scope for design. Relatively, you land at creating quite colorless, tedious applications.

Obviously, the monotonous design comes at the benefit of usability. While the application might look dull in general, it will be alike and thus well-known to people. Such resemblance formulates an application much easier to use.

Web applications are not restricted to the equivalent standards as desktop applications. While they are commonly restrained to browsers, the set of laws pertain to desktop applications are not being useful to the web. Actually, with the development of RIAs that use technologies such as AJAX, Flash, and Silver light, there is a bit of a deviation from the standards set for Windows applications.

Without having a designer, Developers have gotten away with building desktop applications. With Web applications, abruptly having a designer is much more essential. By just following the desktop design standards, would not give you a very good looking Web application. In fact, many times it is likely to be seen as gory.

While you can escape with creating desktop applications with the absence of a designer, you cannot do the same, when it comes to Web applications. That’s why, most of the developers who got away with “designing” desktop applications, really require to think twice before believing they are Web application designers.

Rss Feed ColdFusion

ColdFusion is an application server and scripting language used for Internet application development such as for dynamically-generated web sites. ColdFusion is like Microsoft Active Server Pages, Java Server Pages and PHP. Similar to other server-side scripting languages, ColdFusion permits developers to build active WebPages driven by database back-ends.

We can also create Rss feeds using ColdFusion.We can customize the code as per our wish. We can list all the titles of the postings or we can list a posting title with some content.

Here is a sample coldfusion code for listing the blog titles.

To get the rss feed xml file
<cfhttp url=”http://www.yoursiteurl.com/blog/rss.xml” method=”get”>
Then parse the xmlfile by using the code given below.
<cfset variables.objRss = xmlParse(cfhttp.filecontent)>
Search for the “item” tag in the xml file.Assign it to a variable.
<cfset variables.items = XmlSearch(objRss, ‘//item’) />
Then in a loop display all the titles.It will display 5 titles.To display all the titles, give #ArrayLen(items)# instead of “5”
<cfloop from=”1″ to=”5″ index=”variables.i”>
Print all the titles in an anchor tag.
<cfoutput><a href=”#items[i].link.xmltext#” mce_href=”#items[i].link.xmltext#” title=”#items[i].title.xmltext#”>#items[i].title.xmltext#</a></cfoutput>
Loop ends here.
</cfloop>

After using the above code, Output will be as given below.

Php Tools

PHP is the commonly used open-source server-side scripting languages among all exist languages today. PHP has in depth credentials, a vast community, plenty of ready-to-use scripts and well-supported frameworks. It’s very easy to begin with PHP than with other scripting languages like Python, etc… That’s why PHP has huge community. PHP makes the development process easier and more effective with its tools and resources.

A lot of debugging and testing tools were available. Some of them were listed below.

Debugging Tools
MacGDBp	PHP_Debug	DBG	Gubed PHP Debugger	Xdebug	Webgrind
Testing Tools
PHPUnit	dBug	PHP_CodeSniffer
