5 Business & Design Tools Every Tech Freelancer Should Learn Guest author Danny Groner is manager of blogger partnerships and outreach for Skillfeed. When you work as a freelance designer or coder, your success or failure is entirely reliant on you. Since there's no one else you can blame for missed deadlines or shoddy work, it's incumbent on you to keep your skills fresh, your attention fixed and your ideas polished. The people who excel working for themselves are more than just good networkers - they make themselves marketable through the array of tasks they can tackle and complete.

Fiches de préparation - Livret Scolaire Numérique :: Edumoov Mieux former les développeurs Open Source aux questions juridiques La Fondation Linux estime que l'Open Source nécessite des connaissances juridiques que ne possèdent pas toujours les développeurs. Afin d'éviter des difficultés juridiques de gestion de propriété intellectuelle concernant les projets Open Source, des développeurs mieux formés à ces questions sont indispensables, estime la Fondation Linux. Mais leur formation ne constitue pas l'unique solution, ont fait valoir d'autres membres de la communauté du libre lors de la conférence européenne LinuxCon qui s'est déroulée cette semaine à Edimbourg. L'adoption de l'Open Source engage des connaissances juridiques qui dépassent parfois celles des équipes qui développent des projets et qui ont souvent des difficultés à se débrouiller avec les problèmes de copyright, de brevets, de licences et de compatibilité, selon Jim Zemlin, directeur exécutif de la Fondation Linux. Une grande complexité sur le plan juridique
How To Create a Windows Live Writer Twitter Plugin That Supports bit.ly - Game Theory Don’t get me wrong; I love the Twitter Notify plugin that you can download for Live Writer (which is itself the most amazing piece of software in existence today). However, I track almost all of my stuff through a bit.ly account and I tweet about every blog post. I want the option to use bit.ly instead of tinyurl. So, a new plugin must be created! Looking for more tips on Writer plugin development? Right now, Writer supports plugins that run on the .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0.

Solutions d'entreprise Emanant d'un concepteur unique, un ERP est un progiciel qui permet de gérer l'ensemble des processus d'une entreprise intégrant l'ensemble de ses fonctions comme la gestion des ressources humaines, la gestion financière et comptable, l'aide à la decision, la vente, la distribution, l'approvisionnement, la production ou encore du e-commerce.

Duncan McKean | How non-programmers can contribute to open source projects I get asked a lot by people who are interested in helping out open source projects, but have absolutely no programming skills. What can they do? Well, here’s a few ideas how non-programmers can contribute to open source projects. * It is worth noting that it is best to contribute to software that you actually use yourself. Use the Product The best way to contribute to open source projects is to use the products themselves. Bug Test Because you are now using the product, occasionally it’ll crash when you try and do something. Get in touch with the developers and tell them. Each projects will have a link to submit a bug. Write Documentation Help write the documentation for the project so it is clearer and easier to understand. Most of the time the developers are too busy developing and so the documentation needs some TLC. Translation There will be a lot of people the world over using this project and some of them might not speak the language the project is released in. Evangelise Donate
