Gary - just a little FYI - in regards to Open Source. One example is OpenOffice. Its equivalent to MS Office. However, Office is a "closed" type platform - in that they keep all the code - and all the code is developed at MS. An open Source application is generally free, the code is freely available, and many people spend their own personal time adding code to a project. There are many, MANY types of open source projects out there. Although, even if you use an open sourse App - it doesn't mean you have to contribute additional code to it. You could simply use the application. But, if its an App that really interests you, and is developed in a language you work with - then you might want to consider working on the project.
Goodluck! -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary Jeurink Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2011 4:23 PM I am handicapped and somewhat homebound. I have learned what programming skills I have by reading the books you guys write. I am trying to learn php/mysql right now and have gotten stuck in the same area from two separate books. Uploading/files. The open source thing sounds like some Uploading/files. The open source thing sounds like something I'd like to learn more about.

As a benefit, you might get the chance to learn how an open source project works and learn a bit about an open source language (perl, python, php, or...) > Kids compete on 4 to 6 events plus all-around depending on boy or girl. I'll bet this happens in communities world-wide and you can find code you can build on. -- Ted Roche _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a1409df1...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
