Nearing the end.


I finished the final project.

I could solve all the problems that the database and registration.

 I think it is a good web application, the database had a big role at the end. The website and the database "communicate" through the programming language known as PHP (Hypertext Pre-processor ). It is one of the programming languages ​​that I liked the most to learn during these two years. Surely I started learning it further on my own.

 I hope the "FCT" go well. I wish all my classmates good luck.

The ailing Polaroid brand looks set to earn a second wind, thanks to the very force that nearly killed it off in the first place: the Internet.

Click HERE to see the gallery of Instagram camera fan art - including a camera made from crackers.
The iconic camera company will lend its name and heritage to a brand new instant digital camera with impressive web integration – and an Instagram theme.
Planned to hit the shelves some time in 2014, the camera, which is currently calling itself Socialmatic in lieu of a snappier moniker, takes pictures using the full range of filters for which the Facebook-owned picture-sharing service Instagram has become so popular.

Users will then be able to post their pictures online to their various social media via WiFi or 3G, or print them out and share them 'IRL'. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and email integration are all promised, while Socialmatic is also hoping to create its own picture-sharing network.
Socialmatic was originally proposed as a concept in May 2012. The idea went viral, due in part to the camera’s distinctive looks, which resembled Instagram’s logo, and its popularity has inspired Socialmatic to press ahead with bringing the concept to market.

The camera is promised to have 16GB of internal storage, WiFi and 3G connectivity, an SC-HD slot for external mass storage, and snazzy touchscreen interface. Slightly obnoxiously, each photo will come with its own QR code, allowing users to ‘follow the photo in real and virtual world’.

"This mix of hardware and software, together with our brand new photo social network, will fill the gap between virtuality and reality," claimed Antonio De Rosa, CEO of Socialmatic.

MY NEW WEBSITE


Hello, I'm back with a new blog post.

I've spent the last week developing a registration and login system for my website.


 I had several problems with the code. First, I am not able to make the php and html code work together. The writing was bad, all in the same file. When I realized I was wrong, I separated them in a html file and other file for php code, redirecting from one to another. Then, when I maked codes that work well, it took me some extra time to develop the code to store data in a database. Once finished with that, I started with the login system. This code is the one that gave me the biggest trouble, because I could not make the web recognize the current user but the previous.


Fortunately I managed to solve all the problems and develop the code.


Now I have to develop the main content of the website.

Electronic skin


Tiny, nearly invisible devices stick to skin, ‘talk’ to computers


James Bond and his enemies would be interested in the goings-on at the laboratory of John Rogers. So would Batman, the Spy Kids, Darth Vader and their enemies. That’s because Rogers, a materials scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, mixes electronics with the human body to create new devices not found even in science fiction.
Rogers and his collaborators have built an electronic device that’s smaller than a postage stamp and sticks to the skin like a temporary tattoo. The device’s possible users — patients, athletes, doctors, secret agents, you — are limited only by their imaginations.


Tattoos you can use

Rogers doesn’t have any permanent tattoos. But he says he’s been wearing “more and more” of the temporary kind to hide the stuck-on electronic circuits. (He even concealed one device behind a blue pirate tattoo.) Temporary tattoos use a simple and inexpensive way to adhere, or stick, to skin: a good sticky backing that stretches and flexes with skin’s natural motion.


More than skin deep

The scientists have found a way to extend the technology deeper than the body’s surface. In 2010, they introduced an electrical plastic wrap that can be attached to a person’s heart during open-heart surgery. Electronic circuits and instruments record blood flow and electric current, which means the material can alert doctors to hidden problems with a patient’s ticker. The team has already shown that a device attached to the surface of the brain can capture the electrical signals of an epileptic seizure.


Silicon: The problem and the answer

Scientists have been attaching electrical gadgets to skin for more than 80 years. In 1929, a German doctor named Hans Berger invented a device that attaches to the scalp and measures the brain’s electrical activity. His invention, called an electroencephalograph (EEG), lets doctors 

Facebook offers $20m to settle lawsuit

Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook

Facebook has agreed a settlement worth $20 million in a class action lawsuit after it was accused of using the names, profile pictures and photographs of users without permission.
As part of the settlement, the social networking site distributed an e-mail notice to users in the United States from its “legalnotice@facebookmail.com” address over the weekend in a move to avoid having to take the case to court.

What I liked the most in DAM



For this new blog post, I wnat to talk about what I like the most in this vocational training cycle about applications development.

After receiving Java, Android, ObjetiveC, and other programming languages classes​​, what I like the most and what I feel most comfortable with is web page development.

I think what I've learned about web development will be very useful in the future and I will be able to find a good job.

Maybe I start a new blog to write some tutorials about design and develop websites as uploading them to internet. But I think that I don't have enough experience yet.

This is my first web ever developed on my own.
