Open Source, Java Script and PHP


ShareThis
I am fond of reading about new technologies and happenings in the software development world.
I am sharing about the new things I find on the web now and then...


Open Source:

Open Source is the buzz-word today ! Even Microsoft is going the "Open Source" way.
Microsoft has introduced full support for PHP in its Web Server Product called IIS. MS now help you install and configure PHP in your IIS by its Web Platform Installer.

Microsoft is promoting Open Source community and products on its site also.
Check out these Ope Source projects in PHP and Dot Net on Microsoft website.


Microsoft has earlier included JQuery (a open source Java Script Framework/ library)

In Dot net platform Open Source projects are increasing day by day.
