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 MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...

HOW TO APPLY FALLING TEXT EFFECT IN A CONSOLE PROGRAM WITH THREADING IN C#

"A thread is defined as the execution part of a program. Each thread defines a unique flow of control. If your application involves complicated and time consuming operations then it is often helpful to set different execution paths or threads, with each thread performing a particular job.", says the smart guys behind Tutorials Point.Well, our program is not going to be complicated and we are not going to be performing any time consuming task, we are rather going be creating a camouflage application that gives us the effect similar to what you get when you ping a site or an IP address with the "-t" option in cmd or the effect you see in movies like Blacklist, 24, Person Of Interest and the likes.Now let's stop the ranting and get started.We are going be building this application upon our existing code, one we started in the previous article "How to grammatically Change the background and foreground color of a console Application".Now open up the code in...
