Why pay for Microsoft Office when Star Office is free?

September 23rd, 2008

It is a common myth that the more expensive an item or service is the better it is. In the software world most expensive programs has a free counter part.

Free alternatives to Adobe Photoshop
“At the point this article was created, Adobe Photoshop CS3 still cost about USD $649 per copy. I think it’s safe to say that not everyone will afford to get a copy or willing to get a copy if all one need to do is just basic image editing stuff. That’s probably one of the main reason why there’s still a fairly large crowd out there actively looking for free alternatives to Photoshop to help them in their daily basic design jobs. If you are not going into advance image editing, you should know that there’s always free software out there capable to perform what Photoshop can.” More

Keynote is a free note taking program ideal for students and teachers
“KeyNote is used by screenwriters to draft screenplays, by medical doctors to keep patient databases, by developers to store source code snippets – and to everyone it serves as a place to put all the random pieces of information that have no particular structure of relationship to other data, and do not fit easily in task-specific applications such as word-processors, databases or spreadsheets. As you use KeyNote, it will tend to grow on you and every day you will discover more ways to use it.”
This page lists its features while you can download it from here

Don’t let school stop you

September 18th, 2008

I’ve never let my school interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

A school can only offer a limited amount of subjects and topics within the subjects. But don’t let that stop you! If you want to learn php programming or swahili, most likely there is a free Internet course for you.

Hewlett Packard just opened their free online courses to run 24 hours a day all year long. 

HP offers a variety of free, online classes for both the Home & Home office and Business customers. Enjoy the self-paced lessons, expert instructors and active message boards. 

The W3Schools is ideal for anyone interested in learning programming in any web shape or form.
