I want to go back to community college and take computer classes. What should I take, like web design, excel, desktop publishing, so many jobs are in computers! I need my skills to be up to par.

that's like answering, "i drive cars. Now I want to race in the indy 500. can you tell me how?"

How about learn just how to change tires first? Start small like desktop publishing and move up.

Debugging and programming is a art form, requiring an analytical mind of intense degree.

Learning a basic language (not spanish or french btw) as building block and give up personal hygiene
to become a real programming nerd and an indy pilot.

We are using MS Windows Server 2003 in our LAN. I am just thinking there must be some ways to publish web pages through our server, aside from the usual file sharing technique.

Use IIS and create virtual directory where all your pages exist

now you can access your pages yourip/page1.html

Put the page in IIS in you sever and tada !

Prep sports fans have a new way of following their favorite sports and teams this season.

BoCoPreps.com is now live, powered by the Longmont Times-Call, Boulder Daily Camera, Colorado Hometown Weekly and Broomfield Enterprise, all of which are publications of Prairie Mountain Publishing.

BoCoPreps.com will provide up-to-date coverage of all high school sports in the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley.

“The BoCoPreps site is an exciting new venture utilizing the reporting talent at all of our newspapers in Boulder County,” said Al Manzi, president and chief executive officer of Prairie Mountain Publishing. “This project is only possible because of the recent acquisition of the Lehman Publishing group. BoCoPreps will provide the most comprehensive coverage of all high school sports in Boulder County. I think users of the site will find it extremely useful and entertaining.”

BoCoPreps.com will combine the reporting efforts of the PMP papers to give fans complete coverage in one place. the site will provide feature stories and game coverage, as well as photo galleries and videos to enhance the coverage of all schools.

“I think BoCoPreps.com is a great opportunity for high school sports fans across Boulder County to get more of the best coverage and information about their favorite teams,” said Jennifer Osieczanek, sports editor of the Boulder Daily Camera. “By combining the efforts of the Boulder Camera, Longmont Times-Call, Colorado Hometown Weekly and Broomfield Enterprise, we’re going to be able to become a one-stop spot for prep fans in the area and I’m really excited about that.”

BoCoPreps.com invites fans to get involved and interact with the staff. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and give us your comments about how we’re doing. We also ask readers to send us any good news and story ideas about their favorite schools and teams. Our writers will also blog more news and notes that might not always make our individual print products.

In addition, fans will have an opportunity each week to vote on “The Game of the Week.” This will give fans the opportunity to tell us which games to cover.

“I hope that readers embrace the site and get involved — especially by voting on ‘The Game of the Week,’” Osieczanek said. “We know readers are passionate about their favorite high school teams and BoCoPreps.com is an example of how we share that passion — by giving them stories, photos, blogs, videos and more.”

For years, fans have followed their teams in their local newspaper. while they can still do that, the great coverage that has been provided in the past will be enhanced through BoCoPreps.com.

“Prep sports are an integral part of the fabric of Broomfield,” said Julie Baxter, editor of the Broomfield Enterprise. “We are so pleased to add this site as another resource, so folks can keep track of their favorite teams and players in one easy-to-navigate location. not only will they be able to see how their beloved Eagles, Lightning and Tigers are doing, but they also can check out how the seasons are going for rivals in the area.”

BoCoPreps.com allows readers to easily follow their favorite sport or favorite schools.

Every school covered by the four PMP papers — 22 in all — has its own page, giving fans the opportunity to easily find every story written about their favorite school.

In addition, every Colorado High School Activities Association-sanctioned sport has its own page on BoCoPreps.com, allowing fans of a particular sport to quickly see every story on boys soccer, girls volleyball, etc.

BoCoPreps.com will also have a page for statistics, powered by MaxPreps.com, so fans can go to one place to find area schedules, stats and more.

“I’m very excited about this web site,” said Brian Howell, sports editor of the Longmont Times-Call. “The fans in the Boulder and St. Vrain valleys have never had anything like this and it will be a fantastic addition to our area. I do believe that BoCoPreps.com will be the best prep sports web site in the state of Colorado. It’s exciting to be a part of bringing that to Boulder County.”

LinkedIn went public today in what many expect could lead to another wave of tech IPOs. just now the stock (NYSE: LNKD) for the social networking site for professionals is trading at about $104, representing a 100% pop (buy-in was $45) and a valuation of $11 billion. are we partying like it’s 1999 yet? probably not. but this is obviously the biggest liquidity event we’ve seen here in Silicon Valley in quite some time.

The busts are painfully memorable – most notably in 2001 when the sky and all the sock puppets along with it fell into a heaping pile of crap 2.0. back then Red Herring magazine used to publish their ratings on various IPOs. A thermometer would gauge the “hotness” factor. I remember reading the massive magazine (tech ad spending was through the roof) on flights to customer meetings and seeing: red, red, red, dark orange, red, red, red. There was no blue. it was 1999 and everything here in the valley was damn hot.

“Social Gold Rush”

Will our penchant for socializing on the web now pave the way for companies who apply Facebook-like models for the enterprise?

With the early success of the LinkedIn IPO, the easy answer is yes. however, remember that Facebook and Twitter sit pretty much alone atop the pyramid of riches for social networking. There are also-rans, but likely investor’s appetites for more than a few winners (at least on the public exchanges) is questionable.

Costco-size Line for IPOs

I think the more interesting trend we can perhaps glean from today’s news is that the tech IPO is back, but with a few caveats. in 1999 you just needed a hot idea. An idea with potential. Bru-ha-ha helped, as did moxie. things like business models (what do you mean shipping hundreds of pounds of dog food across the country or couriering a .75 chocolate bar 3 miles to a single buyer aren’t sustainable?!), paying customers and experienced management teams were all either non or secondary considerations. Today, that’s changed. When the markets blew up in 2001, and then the banks blew up later that same decade we realized all gold does not shine the same.

Nearly 2 billion people searched LinkedIn last year. Executives from all Fortune 500 companies are subscribers, and its hiring solutions are used by 73 of the Fortune 100 companies. this is what an IPO looks like in 2011, not 2001. these are solid, verifiable, quantifiable operating metrics. does it eliminiate risk or remove doubts over a valuation that is very rich? No on both counts. LinkedIn’s only been around for 9 years, and revenues were about $243 million (with 70% coming from subscription) in 2010.

No doubt companies such as Zynga, Groupon, Facebook, and Twitter are watching the LinkedIn story very closely.

My guess: all four of them (and others) will be spotted ringing out at the IPO register within the next 24 months.
