Lets examine the notion that SQLite can be a viable replacement for fopen(). To get your understanding, SQLite is an implementation of a database engine that is self contained, serverless, transactional and needs no configuration. On the Other hand fopen() is a function from the standard C library that opens a file for either reading and/or writing and returns a stream associated with that file.
Now and again I wonder why PHP is never or rather, why it is rarely used for developing desktop applications. I may not be the only one who wonders the same thing so I decided to delve deeper into this so that I can settle my mind and here is what I have come up with.
When Safaricom, Kenya’s leading mobile network operator opted to “aid” the growth of innovation in Kenya by initiating a process for welcoming and working with Vendors and Premium Rate Service Providers, you would be excused to think that there is a brighter future for developers in this East African nation. I beg to differ. There seems to be a problem that cannot be ignored.
After a couple of years of coding experience with both Qt and MFC, I’d say I am pretty confident in my credibility in deciding which of these two C++ frameworks would be best to use to develop GUIs on Windows. MFC has been around on Windows much longer but does that make it have an edge over Qt? Well keep reading to find out
The word “Viable” in this case is relative. For hardcore Ubuntu and other Linux distro users, it is not beyond reach to envision a viable desktop in use with occasional visits to Google or the Ubuntu help pages.

Ever seen a DBA having to deal with an application developers naive mistakes? Or could it simply be a case of developers just not knowing what should be done on a database and why it should be done. This issues arise straight from poor uses of SQL statements to sheer negligence in the total design of databases.
The question of when SQLite should be used and when MySQl should be used has come up again and again. To know when and where it is appropriate to use either SQLite or MySQL databases management systems, it is first and foremost important to know what the difference is between them, if at all there is any difference.
With the advent of the Internet, it is so easy for computer programmers to forget about the value reading computer books that a lot of them dumped in favor of online references. I took the liberty to recompile these gems. Some new and some old. Hopefully programmers will embrace the idea of revitalizing the reading [...]
