DRUPAL

DRUPAL is a CMS ( CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ) that I use for most web projects. It is a web development framework, but its not the same as something like RAILS. Best idea is to review the links

Keep something in mind when reviewing DRUPAL vs. other CMS's. Its true that there are more Joomla and WordPress sites out there. But they are simple sites that really dont do much. DRUPAL runs the largest, most sophisticated projects on the net, with organizations that have almost limitless funds that could have chosen any platform they wanted.

With that in mind, DRUPAL an more than handle just about anything that you are interested in doing. Its just a matter of finding some one that knows how to use DRUPAL.

 

iPHONE and iPAD - iOS

Mobile links that discuss iOS development for iPHONE and iPADS. The native language for iOS is objective c. However, there is a lot of chatter about other methods of development. I list them here. Personally, I consider doing Native Objective C the best solution.

ANDROID DEVELOPMENT

ANDROID DEVELOPMENT is developed using JAVA and the DALVIK JVM, but its not a typical JAVA environment. The code syntax is JAVA, but it is compiled. Doing Native is the best solution in my humble opinion.

ECOMMERCE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING

Accepting Credit cards is a major decision with E commerce projects, but is not well understood.

Scenarios include...
a... DONATION MODEL : taking small payments for non-profits
b... SUBSCRIPTION MODEL: AKA the Dating site model, the user pays a monthly fee for access.
c... SHOPPING CART:

Other considerations...
a... hosting environment ( multi tennant, aka shared hosting usually does not qualify)
b... Shopping Carts ( DRUPAL COMMERCE, DRUPAL UBERCART, MAGENTO )
c... PayPal solutions.

A very good starting point is to study PCI compliance rules.
