Chinese President Xi Jinping to make first visit to India



BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping will make his first visit to India as head of state on a regional visit starting this week which will also take in Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Tajikistan, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

Xi will begin his trip in Tajikistan where he will attend a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on Thursday and Friday, the ministry said.

China, Russia and four Central Asian nations — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan — formed the group in 2001 as a regional security bloc to fight threats posed by radical Islam and drug trafficking from neighbouring Afghanistan.

After that Xi will travel to the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India, on a visit which ends on September 19, the ministry said, without giving exact dates for when he will be in each country.

The ministry provided no further details, though over the weekend it said that Xi had postponed a trip to Pakistan which had originally been part of his tour due to ongoing unrest in the country.

From economic parity in 1980, China's growth has outstripped India's fourfold and Beijing has sought to recycle some of its vast export surpluses into foreign investments in resources and infrastructure in South Asia to feed its industrial machine.

That rising economic presence in the Indian Ocean region has stoked concerns in New Delhi that China is creating a "string of pearls" that surrounds India and threatens its security.

While China and India have close economic and historical links, there is deep suspicion too, fuelled in part by a festering border dispute.


Asian great-power diplomacy has stirred to life since the rise to power of Narendra Modi, who announced his intent to play an active role on the world stage by inviting regional leaders to his inauguration in May.

Although Modi seeks pragmatic economic engagement with China, in Tokyo earlier this month he criticized countries with an "expansionist" mindset, a coded jibe against Beijing's assertive behaviour in Southeast Asia.

Open Source Provides Some Good Accelerators To Enhance PHP Applications


php developers india

Now PHP is a very popular programming language with an ever expanding universe of users. The fact that the language could be used for building some really cool websites/applications means more and more developers prefer the same as compared to others. A number of PHP extensions exist that help improve the performance of software applications written in PHP.

1.Alternative PHP Cache (APC)

Alternative PHP Cache is a free, open source framework that caches the output of the PHP bytecode compiler in shared memory, thus reducing parsing and disk I/O overhead for later requests; and a shared memory cache for user data. For an application consisting of a large source code base such as Drupal, a 3x increase in page generation speed is possible as a result.

2.XCache

XCache is a fast, stable PHP opcode cacher that has been tested and is now running on production servers under high load. It is tested on Linux and FreeBSD and supported under Windows, for thread-safe and non-thread-safe versions of PHP.

3.Nusphere PhpExpress

PhpExpress is a free PHP opcode cache that loads both Nu-Coder (commercial) encoded and plain PHP files directly into the PHP engine, saving loading time and boosting performance of PHP applications. It's available on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.

4.Zend Opcache

Zend Opcache is an open source component of Zend Server and Zend Server Community Edition. Zend Opcache speeds up PHP execution by opcode caching and optimisation. It stores precompiled script bytecode in shared memory. This eliminates the stages of reading code from the disk and compiling it on future access.

5.Windows Cache Extension for PHP

A free, open source (New BSD License), PHP accelerator developed by Microsoft for PHP under Windows. The extension includes PHP opcode cache, file cache, resolve file path cache, object/session cache, file change notifications and lock/unlock API's.

HTML5, CSS3 Tricks That Web Geeks Will Love!


HTML5, CSS3 Tricks That Web Geeks Will Love!


HTML5 and CSS3 are the two foremost tools for web geeks nowadays. In case you had a doubt about the same then here’s how. These 10 web tricks will show you exactly how powerful these two languages can be. Take a look, you might find something useful for your own websites.

1. Pure CSS3 AT-AT: The animation here has been created without any coding. No programming languages have been used for this. It doesn’t do anything special, but you can use such a trick to make your website more attractive. 

2. Keylight: This is a nifty trick. What happens here is you click on the background to create small dots and based on the placement of the dot, a tone is played. Multiple dots make a full track. Further, once you’re done, you can share your track. How? Just copy the URL and send it to whoever you want to share it with. Your track is saved in the URL only.

3. CSS3 Man: This is another animation that doesn’t use Flash or any other similar platform. 

4. Sinuious: This one is a simple game that can be addictive for kids. You have to avoid hitting the red dots, while picking up power-ups on the way. The more you can avoid, better will be your score. 

5. Cubescape: This is all about cubes. Click on the screen to place the cubes wherever you want them. You can choose different colours for the cubes, move them and edit them. When you’re finished, you can watch an animation of what you just did.

6. Darkroom: This is actually one of the more useful tricks in this list. While the others are for fun, Darkroom actually works as a photo editor and comes with a number of editing tools along with an easy interface. You can edit brightness, contrast, exposure, tin/temperature, saturation, colour blindness simulation, red-eye and other aspects of your picture. You can do this to images that are saved on your hard drive.

7. Apple Gallery Demo: From the makers of the iPhone, this is a photo browser that lets you rotate images across the page, through 3D space etc. 

8. The Wildnerness Downtown: You have probably already heard of this experiment. This one asks you for your hometown and then creates a video using three things: Google Maps, CSS3 and HTML5.

9. Water Type: This is another nifty trick. It asks you to type in a message and it appears as if it’s being created out of water.

10. Destructive Video: You see a video in this one, but when you click on the video it blows up. Interestingly, the video is still playing. Stop for a few seconds and the video will automatically reintegrate.
