Creadores de sitios - Site builders


The differences between Wix and Weebly are very noticeable.
http://www.weebly.com/
https://es.wix.com
Wix seems to have adopted the “advanced features” approach, giving you all sorts of tools to play with within their website builder.
Weebly seems to have gone the opposite way of adopting the minimalistic approach, keeping things as streamlined and as simple as possible.  This makes Weebly much easier to use.
Also, even though Wix gives you a lot more advanced features, Weebly gives you more flexibility (such as changing templates, important external templates, being able to edit its CSS / HTML codes, and also exporting your website).
At the end of the day, you should consider what features are better suited for you.
Wix has a lot more advanced features for you (especially with their App Market), which can be very useful for you if you are building a website that requires a bit more bells and whistles.  But as I mentioned above, overloading your website with advanced features is not necessarily a good thing.
I have to admit though, that the fact that Wix doesn’t make it easy for you to change design templates is a concern.  Having said that, their templates are beautiful.
I’d encourage you to sign up for free accounts with both Wix and Weebly and spend a bit of time playing around with each one of them.  Only through these free trials that you can form your own conclusion as to which website builder is better for your own unique needs.
Just another quick note – both Wix and Weebly offer money back guarantees (14 days for Wix and 30 days for Weebly), so if you want to upgrade and test their advanced features, you can do so without taking on risks.

How Much Data is Created Every Minute 2014

It is amazing the amount of data internet users are creating each day! The majority of data is created by individual users via social media. It is a never ending feed of information. Let’s take a deeper look with the help of this awesome infographic.

The Amount of Data Created Each Day on the Internet in 2014

From 2011-2013, the overall global population of people using the internet grew more than 14% to more than 2.4 billion people. Amazingly, in those same two years, the number of Facebook posts quintupled from 685,000 pieces of content, to more than
2.4 MILLION FACEBOOK POSTS PER MINUTE!

Each minute of every day the following happens:
– 204 million emails are sent every minute!
– 4 million Google searches are made every minute!
– 277,000 tweets are sent each minute!

If we do some quick calculations we can see the amount of data created on the internet each day.
There are 1440 minutes per day…that means there are approximately:
– 294 BILLION emails sent every day!
– 6 BILLION Google Searches each day!
– 3.5 BILLION Facebook messages posted daily!
– 40 Million Tweets shared each day!

Coding Isn’t For Everyone: 7 Tech Jobs You Can Get Without It

 

[De: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/coding-isnt-everyone-7-tech-jobs-can-get-without/]

Programming isn’t for everyone; it requires a very specific kind of quantitative, analytical thinking, and the learning process can be a tough one, even with some of the fun ways to learn to program. But don’t be discouraged if you want to be a part of the tech field: there are plenty of jobs for people who don’t know how to code!

These seven will give you an idea of what’s out there.

 

Designer

graphic designer   Coding Isnt For Everyone: 7 Tech Jobs You Can Get Without It

Coding can be more art than science, but graphic design is all about art. If you’re artistically inclined and you’d like to be involved in tech, being a designer is something you may want to consider. There are a number of areas that you could specialize in, or you could be a jack-of-all-designing-trades and do a bit of each. Designing products and packaging for companies that produce tangible goods, designing ads and brand imaging for ones that don’t, and designing web pages for both are all necessary.

Design is one of the areas on this list that you could be successful in without any coding knowledge at all. Although everyone can benefit from a few basic coding skills (especially inweb design), many designers have no programming knowledge whatsoever. If you’re interested in both design and coding, you’ll be happy to know that there’s a programming language for designers called Processing.

 

User Experience (UX) / User Interface (UI) Specialist

There are a number of roles that fall under this category, but they all have to do with how users interact with a website, program, or app. This role can involve skills from design, psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), and others. When websites, programs, and apps are being developed, UX/UI specialists sketch out wireframes and mockups, test models on users, and provide guidelines for designers to complete the user interface.

Survey results released earlier this year showed that UX experts come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and have degrees in all manner of things — many had relevant master’s degrees, such as in HCI. When asked which skills they found most useful, they said web design, writing, programming, psychology, design, and research methods.

 

Business Analyst

business analysis meeting tablet   Coding Isnt For Everyone: 7 Tech Jobs You Can Get Without It

From the outside, it might seem like the software development cycle is pretty simple: a customer (within or outside of a company) tells the developers what they need, the developers create it, and that’s that. But it’s a lot more complicated. The requirements that the customer has rarely translate to technical requirements smoothly — there’s a lot of interpretation and translation that has to take place before everyone understands each other.

This is where the business analyst comes in: they bridge the gap between customer and developers by gaining a solid understanding of what the customer wants the software or product to do and turning that into a series of tasks that the developers can deal with, one at a time. After going through all of these tasks, the developers will have created a product that satisfies the customer. (That’s the idea, anyway!)

 

Project / Program Manager

Project and program managers often have related responsibilities to business analysts, but need to have a higher-level understanding of a company or project group. The best managers in the tech world learn to understand programmers and complement their needs rather than get into the nitty-gritty of coding. Project managers are in charge of specific projects, and often have to coordinate the priorities and actions of a range of parties, from developers and engineers to marketers and salespeople.

Program managers have a similar job, but generally work at an even higher level, managing a number of projects across an organization, ensuring that the projects help further the company’s goals. This could involve helping to determine the course of development across different products, as well as working closely with a number of project managers to oversee the progression of multiple projects.

System Administrator

Sysadmins, as they’re known, are often viewed as the handymen of an IT department. They take on everything from unboxing and setting up servers, to backing up files across the entire company, to creating firewalls to protect the network, to getting an email server back online when it goes down. Some companies have a number of sysadmins with distinct specialties, while others have a single sysadmin that takes on any project needed.

As you might imagine, having some programming experience — especially with scriptinglanguages, like Perl or Ruby — and having a solid understanding of how to run a wide range ofcommands through the terminal are very useful in this position. Successful sysadmins have a wide range of skills, including people skills for working with frustrated users who can’t check their email or submit their project reports.

Technical Writing

technical writer   Coding Isnt For Everyone: 7 Tech Jobs You Can Get Without It

If your talents lie in crafting concise, useful prose instead of in crafting apps or databases, technical writing may be a great career path for you. Programs, websites, scripts, and nearly every other type of product need extensive documentation. It can be instructions for users, requirements for developers, press releases, technical reports, specifications, or a wide range of other types of documents.

To be an effective technical writer, it’s beneficial to have an understanding of the sort of thing that you’re writing about, whether it’s an app or a set of mechanical engineering blueprints. Being concise, descriptive, and well-organized are also very useful writing skills to have in this field. Many technical writers get their start in the field that they work in, but others begin as freelancers or writers of other kinds.

Marketing / Sales

marketing sales concept   Coding Isnt For Everyone: 7 Tech Jobs You Can Get Without It

When it comes down to it, almost every tech company’s goal — like companies in any other field — is to make money. Which means they need to sell products. And that means that people who have the skills to market and sell those products are in high demand. What sets marketing and sales in the tech world apart from many other fields is that companies are often in tune with up-and-coming methods of marketing and advertising, and this can be appealing to many people who want to work in tech without programming.

For example, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, pay-per-click advertising, content marketing, web production, and social media marketing are all important fields that are relatively new within marketing and advertising that tech companies are likely to be hiring for. Some of them require more technical knowledge than others, but they all benefit from having a good understanding of the technology that the company is selling.

Get a Job!

Just because you don’t like coding doesn’t mean you can’t have a job in the tech sector and be involved in all the cool projects that entails — these seven areas, as well as many others, are open to you if you’re willing to work hard and prove yourself. As previously mentioned, having at least a basic understanding of the principles of programming can be very helpful, but for most of these jobs, you won’t need to know more than the basics.

Do you have a job in the tech sector? How much do you know about coding? What advice do you have for people trying to get into the field without programming knowledge? Share your thoughts below!

SQL Server Express: Hacer backups programados y con retención

[Tomado de http://www.jasoft.org/Blog/post/SQL-Server-Express-Hacer-backups-programados-y-con-retencion.aspx#comment]

by Jose M. Alarcon — Categorías: SQL Server

SQL Server Express es una excelente opción para trabajar con SQL Server en proyectos pequeños y medianos sin tener que pagar licencias. Es una versión gratuita pero totalmente funcional del gestor de base de datos relacionales de Microsoft. A cambio tiene ciertas limitaciones. Por ejemplo, no permite utilizar más de 1 GB de RAM por instancia para caché de datos en memoria y el tamaño de cada base de datos gestionada no puede superar los 10 GB (que es un tamaño considerable para aplicaciones normales). Carece de otras características de alta disponibilidad y replicación, pero ofrece toda la funcionalidad habitual (incluyendo integración de datos y reporting) y las herramientas de administración. Aquí podrás encontrar una comparativa de todas las ediciones de SQL Server.

Una de las cosas que no están disponibles con SQL Server es el Agente SQL. El agente nos permite programar tareas que se ejecutarán sobre las bases de datos cuando nosotros queramos. Esta carencia dificulta un poco, por ejemplo, la realización de copias de seguridad, especialmente si queremos mantener un periodo de retención concreto (por ejemplo, las copias de los últimos 7 días).

Por suerte esta carencia en concreto es muy fácil de solucionar, y en este artículo voy a explicar cómo lograrlo de manera sencilla.

Lo primero que tenemos que saber es que todas las ediciones de SQL Server incluyen una utilidad de línea de comandos que nos permite ejecutar instrucciones T-SQL arbitrarias contra cualquier base de datos. Se trata de SQLCMD.exe, generalmente ubicada en esta ruta:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE"

en el caso de SQL Server 2012 Express.

Esta utilidad tiene muchos parámetros que nos permiten controlar su forma de trabajar. Dos que nos interesan especialmente son:

  • -S: nos permite especificar contra qué servidor/instancia se ejecutarán las sentencias T-SQL.
  • -i: permite especificar una ruta a un archivo (normalmente con extensión .sql) que contiene las instrucciones T-SQL que queremos ejecutar contra el servidor. Así podemos incluir scripts más complejos que una simple línea.

Sabiendo la existencia de esta herramienta, conseguir backups gracias a ella es muy sencillo.

1. Construir las instrucciones T-SQL base para hacer el backup

Lo primero es conseguir las comandos T-SQl para hacer un backup. Lo más sencillo es usar las herramientas integradas en el Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (MSSMS). Ábrelo, busca la base de datos que te interesa copiar en el explorador de objetos y pulsa el botón derecho del ratón sobre ella. En el menú contextual elige la opción de "Tareas·backup…":

SQLServerExpressBackups1

Esto abre una nueva ventana desde la que podemos definir cómo queremos realizar el backup:

SQLServerExpressBackups2

Desde esta ventana elegimos la base de datos a copiar y la ruta en la que queremos guardar dicha copia de seguridad (normalmente le damos como extensión al archivo .bak, pero puede ser cualquiera o incluso no tener extensión).

Además si pulsamos en la página "Opciones" en el lateral podemos configurar algunas cosas más, como por ejemplo (muy recomendable) que se verifique el backup al terminar de hacerlo:

SQLServerExpressBackups3

OJO: la edición Express no soporta la compresión de los backups, así que si seleccionamos esta opción en la lista desplegable de la parte inferior de la figura anterior, se producirá un error al realizar el backup.

Una vez que tengamos seleccionadas todas las opciones que necesitemos, podemos obtener el código necesario para realizar el backup usando el botón "Script" de la parte superior de la ventana anterior. Por defecto nos copiará el código generado a una ventana del MSSMS, así:

SQLServerExpressBackups4

Con esto obtendríamos una base de datos que se sobrescribiría en cada nueva copia, Lo interesante de las copias de seguridad es tener copias con una retención de varios días, para poder comprobar datos anteriores o restaurar los datos a un estado anterior.

2. Retocar el script para darle una semana de retención

Supongamos que queremos hacer una copia de seguridad diaria y que queremos mantener las copias durante 7 días, de modo que podamos recuperar los datos desde cualquier copia de seguridad de la última semana. Para ello vamos a retocar el script anterior de modo que cada día le cambie el nombre al archivo de copia de seguridad. Para ello vamos a declarar una variable que servirá para guardar la ruta y el nombre del archivo de copia de seguridad, cambiándolo en función, en este caso, del día de la semana en el que nos encontremos. En este caso sería así:

DECLARE @dest nvarchar(255)
SET @dest = 'C:\BackupsBBDD\SELF_' + CAST(DATEPART(weekday, GETDATE()) AS nvarchar(1)) + '.bak'

La función DATEPART con el valor weekday para el primer parámetro nos devuelve un número para cada día de la semana, empezando por el domingo (un 1)  hasta el sábado (un 7). Como le pasamos la fecha actual (GETDATE) como segundo parámetro lo que obtendremos en la variable @dest es cada día un nombre diferente para la base de datos, añadiéndole el número de día de la semana para obtener nombres estilo: SELF_1.bak, SELF_2.bak, SELF_3.bak y así sucesivamente.

En el script generado por el MSSMS bastará ahora por sustituir la ruta por el nombre de esta variable y ya lo tendremos listo (ojo: hay que susituirlo en dos sitios: en el backup y en la verificación del backup en la parte inferior).

Dado que en caso de que un archivo exista de backup se sobrescribirá, en la práctica con este script lo que conseguimos es que siempre haya 7 copias como máximo en el histórico.

3. Crear un bat para realizar el backup

Ahora que ya tenemos el código necesario para crear las copias de seguridad lo que debemos hacer es crear un archivo .bat que nos permita ejecutar este código T-SQL cuando queramos. Para ello usaremos SQLCMD.EXE, escribiendo esta instrucción:


"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" -S SERVIDOR\INSTANCIA -i "C:\BackupsBBDD\BackupSELF.sql" >> log.txt


Debemos sustituir SERVIDOR\INSTANCIA por el nombre de nuestro servidor y la instancia de SQL Server sobre la que queremos trabajar. En el parámetro -i debemos indicar la ruta al archivo .sql con las instrucciones para la copia de seguridad que acabamos de crear.

La última instrucción ">> log.txt" nos permite guardar el resultado de la ejecución en un archivo de texto que podemos consultar para ver cuándo se ha realizado cada copia, cuánto ha tardado y cualquier otro mensaje que se derive de la ejecución del script. E spor eso que me gusta colocarle al principio del script una instrucción más como esta:

PRINT CAST(GETDATE() AS nvarchar) + ' - COPIA DE SEGURIDAD INICIADA AL ARCHIVO: ' + @dest

De este modo aparecerá en el archivo Log.txt un mensaje al principio de cada copia de seguridad indicando la fecha de creación y el nombre del archivo. Podemos incluir del mismo modo cualquier otra información que consideremos relevante.

4. Programar la tarea

Ahora que ya tenemos un script para hacer la copia de seguridad, y además hemos creado un .bat para ejecutarlo, lo único que nos falta es crear una tarea programada para poder lanzarla con la periodicidad que nos convenga (en principio cada día).

Para ello abrimos el administrador de tareas programadas del sistema y creamos una nueva tarea. Lo único que tendremos que hacer es indicar que queremos ejecutar el archivo .bat del paso anterior así como a qué hora del día lo vamos a hacer:

SQLServerExpressBackups5

Con esto habremos conseguido que todos los días a las 2:00 de la mañana se realice una copia de seguridad de la base de datos, con una retención de 7 días:

SQLServerExpressBackups6

Cada uno de esos archivos se corresponde con la copia de seguridad del domingo (1), lunes (2), martes 83), etc…

Si quisiésemos un periodo de retención de un mes, por ejemplo, sería tan fácil como cambiar el parámetro de DATEPART por "day" de modo que se pusiera el número de día del mes. Podemos jugar con los distintos valores del primer parámetro de DATEPART para conseguir otros periodos, como por ejemplo, si hacemos más de una copia al día, añadirle la hora de modo que tengamos más de un archivo diario.

¡Espero que te resulte útil!

Expotar Notas de Outlook a una carpeta de Windows

[De: http://www.syncdroid.net/export-outlook-notes-to-folder]


There are a lot of people who want a free way to export their Outlook notes to text files.  From there they can do many useful things like send them to Google Docs or put them in a Dropbox folder, both of which can then sync them from a PC to an Android device.  Here is a step by step method of exporting those notes.  It may seem tricky, but it really is simple and should take all of 5 minutes to complete.  The notes will be exported into text files with the same name as the notes.  The exception is that note names with "/" or "\" will have those characters replaced with a hyphen ("-").
  • Create a folder on the root of the C: drive called "Notes" (C:\Notes).
  • Open Outlook.
  • Press ALT-F11 which will open Outlook's Visual Basic window.
  • Click on Insert (top toolbar) and Module.  You should see a new window pane open labeled something like Project1, Module1.
  • Copy the following code and paste it in the Module1 window pane: 
Sub NotesToText()
    Set myNote = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder
    For cnt = 1 To myNote.Items.Count
        noteName = Replace(Replace(Replace(myNote.Items(cnt).Subject, "/", "-"), "\", "-"), ":", "-")
        myNote.Items(cnt).SaveAs "c:\notes\" & noteName & ".txt", OlSaveAsType.olTXT
    Next
End Sub
  • Click on Run (top toolbar) and then "Run Sub/Userform".
  • A window will pop up asking you to select the folder where your notes are located.  For most people, this will simply be your normal Notes folder.  Select the Notes folder and then select OK.  The Notes are exported at this point.
  • Close the Microsoft Visual Basic window.
  • Close Outlook.  You will receive a popup window asking if you want to save the VBA project.  Answer No.
  • Look in the Notes folder on the C: drive to find your notes.

If you received a "Run time error", click End and then check the following:
  • Did you REALLY name the folder "Notes" in the root of the C: drive?
  • If you changed the name of the folder, did you REALLY end the path name with a backslash?
  • Select Run and then "Run Sub/Userform" again.

Can I install multiple SkyDrive apps on my desktop?

[De: http://askludwig.com/2012/06/02/can-i-install-multiple-skydrive-apps-on-my-desktop/]


The short answer is “no, you can’t”, but the longer answer is, “there is a way”.
If you have two Microsoft accounts (Windows Live IDs), you have a SkyDrive for each. The SkyDrive app on the desktop makes managing the files and folders in the SkyDrive as easy as any other folder. So you might want to have access to both right on your desktop.
imageYou cannot install the SkyDrive app multiple times on the desktop, that simply does not work. There is a work-around, however, and once established, works just as you expect – two folders on the desktop, each accessing its own SkyDrive. Not only that, both get synchronized automatically.
Here is the how to install two separate SkyDrive folders on your desktop. Assumed here is that the computer is running Windows 7.
  • Create a user account on your computer for the second Microsoft account. In this article I will call the original user “user 1” and new user “user 2” and the SkyDrive belonging to that user SkyDrive 2. User 2 can be a “Standard user” (and really should be).image
  • Switch to user 2. Start > power ►> Switch user
  • Start Internet Explorer, sign in with theuser 2 credentials. Click SkyDrive in top menu.
  • imageClick Get SkyDrive apps (navigation pane, bottom). Follow through and download and install the SkyDrive app.
  • Switch back to user 1.
  • Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to Local Disk > Users >user 2. This is the default location where the local SkyDrive folder is located.
  • Right-click on the SkyDrive folder listing. Click on Send to in the drop-down menu and click Desktop (create shortcut).
That’s it. You now have a desktop shortcut to SkyDrive 2, the one foruser 2.
Note that I did not ask you to log out either user. So long as both users are logged in on your computer the synchronizing of the SkyDrive folders will proceed for both. Keep in mind that downloading and especially uploading of files takes considerable time as determined by your Internet connection.
Both folders will be accessible, of course, at all times, including when the Internet connection is not available. Synchronization will resume when the Internet connection is reestablished.

Nothing incredible is accomplished alone. You need others to help you, and you need to help others. With the right team, you can form a web of connections to make the seemingly impossible practically inevitable.

The Instigator:

Someone who pushes you, who makes you think. Who motivates you to get up and go, and try, and make things happen. You want to keep this person energized, and enthusiastic. This is the voice of inspiration.

The Cheerleader:

This person is a huge fan, a strong supporter, and a rabid evangelist for you and your work. Work to make this person rewarded, to keep them engaged. This is the voice of motivation.

The Doubter:

This is the devil’s advocate, who asks the hard questions and sees problems before they arise. You need this person’s perspective. They are looking out for you, and want you to be as safe as you are successful. This is the voice of reason.

The Taskmaster:

This is the loud and belligerent voice that demands you gets things done. This person is the steward of momentum, making sure deadlines are met and goals are reached. This is the voice of progress.

The Connector:

This person can help you find new avenues and new allies. This person breaks through roadblocks into finds ways to make magic happen. You need this person to reach people and places you can’t. This is the voice of cooperation and community.

The Example:

This is your mentor, you hero, your North Star. This is the person who you seek to emulate. This is your guiding entity, someone whose presence acts as a constant reminder that you, too, can do amazing things. You want to make this person proud. This is the voice of true authority.
