Publishing/Hosting Your Web or Desktop Software For People To See.

No matter how good you are as a software developer, if people don't see your work, it is very bad. Putting a software on the internet and allowing the users of it to send you feedback is always helpful because it gives you the opportunity to learn more. If people don't criticise your work, then you have not started.
This post is particularly for web developers because as a web developer,  the main way people get to see your work is when your publish it by hosting it on the internet. A web application that is hosted on a localhost server within your computer is only useful to you not others. The worst part of it is that not everybody knows how to install a web application on a localhost server and if you want this to be done you have to make the installation process easy for the end users by developing a program that does the installation for them.
But why on earth would someone want to install a web application on a local machine? Of course there are many intranet applications out there but these applications are being packaged and deployed with Windows Installer or similar programs. They are often developed to run within a coperate environment or so. You, as a web developer, you need to publish your work for people to see on the internet. Publishing your work is not free because you get to pay your hosting provider on a monthly basis or so but, nonetheless, you must publish your work for people to use and you can generate revenue by placing ads or beg the users of your program to donate for you. Hahaha, that is funny, isn't it?
Aside from web developers, other program developers are also advised to share their programs either via internet or other means. At first, I thought I was doing everything right until I published an open source project... Yes, the user experience of the program is not so bad but the coding itself was hell and I received so many criticisms and these criticisms have come to make a very good impact in my coding skills. Please share something and let those who are better than you or have been there before you, punch holes in that One-Million-Dollar-Program you think you have made.
Thanks for reading.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO INSTALL BLOGENGINE.NET WITH VISUAL STUDIO.

Yes there are lots of article on the internet that already describes how to do this, but that wont stop me from sharing my own idea on how I got mine rocking with visual studio 2012. Now here is the story, I woke up one morning and discovered I was departing from being a beginner programmer to a programmer who is at least worthy to be called a programmer. So I felt I needed to share my programming experience and the only known way I could do that, was to start blogging, hmmm... Just like you, I didn't like blogger, I needed  to be my own boss. So, I started my own blog project, but wait....  Why was I doing that when there are open source blog projects being developed and maintained by developers who are more "programmatically" experienced than I?. BlogEngine was the one I chose and the installation was a breeze. All I did was go to the site, downloaded the first zip file which is tagged "web", extracted it to my visual studio project directory, opened vi...

How to Check Logs or Journal of a Specific Service on Linux

Monitoring logs is an essential part of system administration. On Linux, logs help diagnose issues and track service behavior. This guide covers various ways to check logs for a specific service. Using journalctl for Systemd Services Most modern Linux distributions use systemd , and logs are stored in the journal. To view logs for a specific service, use: journalctl -u service-name.service Example for Nginx: journalctl -u nginx.service Viewing Real-Time Logs To follow logs in real time, use: journalctl -u service-name.service -f This is similar to tail -f for traditional log files. Checking Logs with a Time Filter To see logs from the last 1 hour: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "1 hour ago" For logs between two timestamps: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "2024-02-01 10:00" --until "2024-02-01 12:00" Using Traditional Log Files Some services log to files in /var/log/ . Check: ls /var/log/ For example, Nginx lo...
