Two Days workshop on “Web Development with PHP/MySQL” at SPCE MCA Department – Visnagar

Two weeks back on 16th and 17th October, I went to visit Sankalchand Patel College of Engineering at Visnagar along with Aslam – CTO, Multidots Solutions Pvt Ltd. We were invited by Dr. Jayesh Patel – Head of the MCA Department to give a workshop to their students on open source web technologies. We thought, its an honor and noble task to educate the engineering & Information Technology students about what is going latest in this world. So, we decided to take this two days workshop for MCA students of SPCE. We have prepared a  very nice set of topics and materials for this two days workshop.  Here, is the list of topics we covered during these two days. We have provided a through understanding of subject and web development technologies.

  • Web Elements and Terminologies.
  • Web Development Tools.
  • PHP Language and Syntax explanation.
  • MySQL Database Information and education.
  • Open Source – WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Joomla.
  • Frameworks – CakePHP, Zend Framework.
  • Payment Gateways and APIs – PayPal, Google Map, YouTube.
  • Practical Exercise.

It was a very great experience and time there. We enjoyed a lot with students and very grateful to the hospitality they have offered. We played games with students, took test, honored the students with certificates and lot. We have received very nice feedback from students and professor of the Department.

Office 2007 file download as ZIP on Internet Explorer Browser

If you have ever faced an issue where you are trying to download any office 2007 files ( .docx, .pptx, . xlsx ) from internet explorer browser and it open as zip file then you are at a right place.

We had a same issue with on of our project recently. Actually, that was the problem with MIME type of server. I am not sure about windows IIS server but if you have server with Linux machine and Apache then this can be a trick. Here is the solution for this problem.


From Web hosting Panel or Control Panel


  1. Login to your Control Panel.
  2. Find an option to add/modify server MIME Type.
  3. Add this as an mime entry from your control panel.
    • Mime Type : application/vnd.openxmlformats
    • Extensions : docx pptx xlsx


From Command Line


  1. If you want to do this with command line open this file /etc/mime.types
  2. Add this line at the end of the file :
    application/vnd.openxmlformats       docx pptx xlsx
  3. Restart your Apache server and check the problem.


Let me know if this works for you or helped you. If you have any other issues with relation to that post it in comment.

India Unveils A Portable Computing Device Worth $36 approx Rs.1600

Today in New Delhi, union minister for Human Resource Development, Shri Kapil Sibal unveiled a low cost computing-cum-access device. The expected price of the showcased model is going to be around US$35 (approximately Rs 1,600) per unit, which is expected to gradually dip to about US$20 and eventually to around US10$. This device is going to be built with open source technology that may be the reason to lanuch that with such a affordable price. Awesome!

I could just found a couple of pictures of this device. I believe this will be a great revolution to improve education and communication system in India. This will be ofcourse a buzz on tech devices and technology world. We love technology and everything that makes this world better. But due to lots of circumstances and unaffordable platforms and devices it is little challenging for Indian students and engineers to show their talent. There are huge group of people, community, students and engineers, they can’t afford computer and laptops and similar devices for learning. I have a very strong feeling that this device will be a miracle for them. Information  and knowledge sharing will rapidly get improve and increase with device.

It’s been said over and over again that our education sector has been in dire need of a serious update. It seems like the HRD (Human Resource Development) Ministry has a breakthrough solution for taking our education system into the 21st century. Enter this, the yet to be named ultra budget computing device. The sole purpose of designing a device this cheap was to facilitate a better communication and learning experience for students and teachers. I am sure this will be an “Aladin’s chirag” for our education and communication system if it really happens.


The minimum expected capabilities of the device include:

  • Support for video web Conferencing facility
  • Multimedia
    content viewer for example .pdf, docx, .ods, adp, .doc, .xls, .jpeg,
    .gif, .png, .bmp, .odt, .zip, AVCHD, AVI, AC3, etc.
  • Searchable Pdf reader
  • Unzip tool for unzipping zip files.
  • Possibility of installing suitable firmware upgradation.
  • Computing capabilities such as Open Office , SciLab , cups (for printing support)
  • Media player capable of playing streamed as well as stored media files.
  • Internet browsing with flash plug-in, JavaScript, pdf plug-in java.
  • Wireless communication for Audio/video I/O.
  • Cloud computing option.
  • Remote device management capability.
  • Multimedia input output interface option (for allowing DTV, IPTv, DTH, streaming etc.)

Elaborating on how the device came into being

The ministry claimed it received only a lukewarm response from the private sector, and then approached professors from IISC, Bangalore, and a number of the IITs around the country. MSc and BSc students were then roped in to produce the main components, most notably the motherboard. Students from VIT were also involved at various stages of the product’s development, with the final motherboard design being fabricated at IIT Kanpur. (Full press release here )

Create GIF Ajax loader image online

I was hunting on the web for a nice GIF image that I can put while ajax request to server is on process. I found many good GIF images but then I thought it should be something matching with the theme of our project. Then, I thought I should create something from scratch. But, I was not aware of any of the quick tool that can create GIF animation image quickly and easily.  Suddenly, Narendra ( Our Web Engineer ) suggested me for a nice online tool which provides lots of templates for GIF loader animation image . It provides enough options to format the loader images to your choice of colors. Finally, I was able to create a GIF animation image in 2 minutes of time and something which I needed.
