Yii PHP Framework

If you are looking for a website to be developed and don't know where to start?
Web development is pretty easy, unlike software development on mobile devices and desktop web development easy to learn.

There are many softwares/scripting support to develop websites,  Today I am going to discuss how to start to develop a website using php. PHP is a one of the best technology so far. You can learn about php/mysql by doing search on Google. But my target to give you a idea how to use Yii PHP Framework to develop a website.

What is Yii PHP Framework?
PHP is a scripting language, To do script you can either use a framework or your own code. But using a framework will help you in so many ways. For an example if you try to create a user using php and mysql. Normally you have to create a database and tables on it. Also you need to write a script to connect the database, and make insert or update. To to do this you have to write your own code. But Yii PHP Framework is come with Rich features like MVC, DAO/ActiveRecord, I18N/L10N, caching, authentication and role-based access control, scaffolding, testing, etc.

How to work with Yii PHP Framework?
Before you start with Yii PHP Framework, you should have a basic idea in PHP, HTML, CSS and Mysql.
You can learn all from http://www.w3schools.com/.
Once you have idea about all, you can just download the framework from http://www.yiiframework.com/download/ and follow the guideline which are available in http://www.yiiframework.com/tour/.

Start to do your programming and enjoy!

Impact of Global HRM Issues on IT Industry in Sri Lanka

The Information Technology industry is a service industry. Some of the HR challenges that the Sri Lankan IT industry faces are in Headhunting, Recruitment, Talent Retention, Compensation Management and HRM as whole.

Headhunting

While many research have indicates that nine out of 10 in the top positions of companies are selected by head hunters in recent years.  In the busy world going through hundreds of application and selecting right candidate for the job is not practical. Sri Lanka's business and corporate culture most of the IT companies doing the head hunting. These days most of the garment industry companies also try to get the best IT people from IT companies to use their IT expertise to garment industry.

Recruitment & Talent Retention

It is not surprising that in today's dynamic business environment, the challenge of maintaining a competitive advantage relates to the minds of many entrepreneurs.  But according to Department of Census and Statistics the unemployment rate in Sri Lanka is currently less than 5%,  many companies and government agencies are struggling to find and retain these valuable employees. The main problem would be to get the right kind of person. Finding someone with the skills and experience needed is very challenging in Sri Lankan IT industry.

Migration & Skill shortages

Migration is a key challenge for Sri Lankan IT industry.  Qualified Software Engineers are trying to migrate to developed countries.

Page redirection using several scripts

While we do programming we are facing issues with redirecting pages. We can redirect the pages using several methods, 

Normally we face issues when a page moved to new domain, 

Using  javascript

window.location.href="http://www.yoururl.com"; 

or:

window.location = "http://www.yoururl.com";

or:

window.navigate("http://www.yoururl.com"); //works only with IE

PHP header redirect

header('Location: http://www.yoururl.com/');

exit;

Classic ASP

Response.Redirect "http://www.yoururl.com"

ASP.Net

Response.Redirect("http://www.yoururl.com");

or:

Response.Redirect("http://www.yoururl.com", false);

JSP

response.sendRedirect("http://www.yoururl.com");

Ruby

redirect_to "http://www.rubyonrails.org"

I will update soon with more useful javascript.
