Prado : Component framework for PHP5

PRADO is a component-based and event-driven programming framework for developing Web applications in PHP 5. PRADO stands for PHP Rapid Application Development Object-oriented. The sole requirement to run PRADO-based applications is a Web server supporting PHP 5.1.0 or higher. PRADO is free. You can use it to develop either open source or commercial applications.

PRADO provides the following benefits for Web application developers:

• Reusability – Codes following the PRADO component protocol are highly reusable. Everything in PRADO is a reusable component.
• Easy of use – Creating and using components are extremely easy. Usually they simply involve configuring component properties.
• Robustness – PRADO frees developers from writing boring, buggy code. They code in terms of objects, methods and properties, instead of URLs and query parameters. The latest PHP5 exception mechanism is exploited that enables line-precise error reporting.
• Performance – PRADO uses a cache technique to ensure the performance of applications based on it. The performance is in fact comparable to those based on commonly used template engines.
• Team integration – PRADO enables separation of content and presentation. Components, typically pages, have their content (logic) and presentation stored in different files.

Skout™: a bookmark sharing platform with design resources!

Working on the web, where quality resource links are seamlessly scarce these days and where the value of a single link can be multiplied if used for a different purpose, with Skout™’s capacity, it means that designers will no longer have the trouble of searching the entire world wide web to identify awesome resources.

Skout™ is a bookmark sharing platform with design resources for designers , by designers! . Skout™ also, aims to become a one-stop-resources-shop for designers with great resources on just one page.

The site currently has of over 500 listed links, — the objective is not to have the most links though, but rather to list a reasonable number of great links. Users are allowed to submit their resources links to get them listed (and) to share with other Skout’sters.

Skout™ was founded about 6 months ago by Mokokoma Mokhonoana — a very talented graphic designer and web developer from Pretoria. He says, he decided to build up design resources links to ensure that designers will always have great resources available on just one page and to eliminate the process + frustration of ‘googling’ for resources. According to him, there are a lot of sites with good resources that are not always easy to find as their Google rank isn’t that good.

Skout also promotes resources from African creatives wherever applicable. However, Listings are not limited to African design resources websites only. But a part of this Skout project , i think, will only be a success as more resources from Africa are exposed to the rest of the world.

Free Antivirus Software, Free Online Virus Scan

The free antivirus programs listed on this page allow you to detect computer viruses, remove or repair infected files, prevent infection, detect and remove email viruses, etc. There are also free online virus scanning services available for those who prefer (or need to) scan for virus that way.

Note that a number of the free antivirus software listed have limited support for scanning spyware and other types of non-virus malware that their commercial equivalents provide. If you are looking for commercial antivirus software, the ones that come highly recommended by security-conscious people are Avira Antivir Premium (very light on resources), Kaspersky Anti-Virus and ESET NOD32 Antivirus (also light on resources). Popular among average computer users is Symantec's Norton 360, a version of their antivirus program that includes a firewall, automatic backup and restore program and general all-round protection.

If your system is already infected, you may also want to take a look at the Free Antivirus Rescue CDs and DVDs page.

The free version pops up an annoying banner each time it updates, and does not scan/remove spyware that the Premium version (commercial) does. (Incidentally, the Premium version is a well-regarded anti-malware software.)
