These days, it’s a rare occurrence that a web-based application is only ever going to remain web-based. What starts as a website usually ends up taking on a life of its own and expanding into mobile apps, GUI-based interfaces, and so on. Unfortunately, the vast majority of websites are still built with the old “web-only” approach in mind—which, in today’s world, introduces by-design limitations in what your software can do: when the client comes calling and asking for, say, an iPhone version of your application, or a client-based management console built in Flex and AIR, mixing your presentation and business-logic layer is going to become a very expensive decision

We are starting to use Google Docs quite a bit more at work and unsurprisingly the question of backup and offline availability comes into play.

Hola! Instalé el PostgreSQL en el Cpanel, y aparentemente todo funciona perfecto, como pueden ver en http://www.nuestroweb.com/prueba.php: PostgreSQL Support enabled PostgreSQL(libpq) Version 8.1.21 Multibyte character support enabled SSL support enabled Sin embargo, al querer correr, desde el mismo Cpanel, el phpPgAdmin, me manda el siguiente error: “Your PHP installation does not support PostgreSQL.
