This is the first in a series of screencasts demonstrating solutions to common problems found in today’s technologically complex world. As you will see, it’s not that complex after all. This screencast will demonstrate how to change your privacy settings in Facebook to attain the level of security you want. Facebook privacy settings are important so watch this screencast and let me know what you think. Add any more Facebook privacy hacks you know to the comments.
Of course you know what Skype is. Of course you know what teaching is. You may have even heard some people are teaching using Skype. Even if you are not a teacher and never plan to teach using Skype, watch these videos. These awesome videos will show functionality within Skype you may have not known existed. Even if you knew these functionalities existed they may also have been used in ways that you had not thought of before. The videos are quite impressive.
I cam across this article on Mashable, 14 Free WordPress Themes. I am a big fan or WordPress and free WordPress themes. Some of these are excellent themes and some even allow you to get your feet wet with more of a WordPress framework. I have started developing a WordPress site using this free theme.
Excellent screencasts demonstrating jQuery can be found at jqueryfordesigners.com. It also offers a nice glimpse into Javascript without being too technical and getting too lost in loops and iterations.
I have been spending a little bit of time trying to learn PHP. Now in my masters courses we have to learn PHP so I am speeding up the process. I have been using the tutorials on w3schools.com for PHP. They are great and there is even a quiz at the end, http://w3schools.com/php/php_quiz.asp. I struggled through my algorithms course last semester so I wanted to pay particular attention to loops etc in PHP.
On the W3schools site there are 2 great reference pages. One page lists all of the PHP array functions. Each item in the list is a link. click on the link to see concrete examples of that array function in action. Here is the link, http://w3schools.com/php/php_ref_array.asp
The second page that is very useful is a listing of all the functions. PHP has 700 built in functions, that means for many things you don’t have to write your own, although of course you can and maybe should depending on the context of your work. Once again, click on any item in the list to see it in action. Here is the link, http://w3schools.com/php/default.asp
I have a feeling I will be coming back to these pages a lot in the next few months in regards to my courses. What other PHP resources do you use?
I am doing another Masters Degree in Decisional Information Systems. I have been having a hard time with the algorithms class. Partly because of it being in French, and partly because it has been a long time since I have done complicated math, and partly because it is totally new to me. i found this great series on Academic Earth that makes so clear programming and algorithms that I will post the videos to each section I do.

I like this video a lot. It is inspiring me to use it in my English classes as well as suggest it to my professors in my IT Management class. Twitter can have a place in the classroom.
