It brings me joy to finally make the WarrantyTrack software public. I hope this project turns out to be the most leading open source project of its kind.
I’ve hosted this project on sourceforge and it is ‘GNU GPL’ed. Here’s an introductory video to the software. Please look forward to more news on this product.
You are encouraged to try it and send me your feedback so that we may make this a better project.
The WarrantyTrack project has a fantastic roadmap and I hope to reveal this soon.
First, it is nice to see our past participants making great progress in software development. Well done to all of you!
Now in this batch I hope to introduce CodeIgniter and Joomla. So it’s going to be a little more hectic than usual – smiles…

Finally, after a lot of brainstorming and evaluations, we’ve decided to put Visual Basic into our books of history. Thanks to the Mono platform and Apache servers, we now have more choice with ‘cross-platform’ languages and tools.
So with this in focus, we’re directing our language training workshops to the following:
C/C++ : This is primarily based on the G++ compiler. And the availability of this compiler on nearly all platforms makes it possible to compile the code with little or no change for various Operating Systems (OSs).
Once you’re ready with the basics, you can move on to GUI coding with various platforms like CodeBlocks, for example.
Mono (C#) : Want to develop .net apps on Linux? This is the way to go. You can easily take Windows projects to Linux and vice versa with (often) zero change.
PHP+MySQL : I don’t think anyone needs to know the benefits of using this superb combination of tools for web-based apps. In reality, it doesn’t have to be web-based applications. We’ve built systems running on LANs over browsers. They can be nearly anything from Accounting to Payroll and so on…
Pascal : We mean FreePascal for obvious reasons. A very few people know the power of Pascal because of the ‘VB hype’. But in reality, once you get the grip of Pascal (which is probably the easiest language to learn), you can move on to Lazarus, and build Delphi-style applications.
Should you need to attend any of our workshops in the above areas, please feel free to contact us.
After much planning, evaluation and brain-storming, we’ve decided to implement our official blog using Word Press.
What’s “Empress”?
In one word it’s “branding”… But really, we had to come up with a name for the Word Press installation on Marha Online. So initially we thought of mpress and instantly came up with the ’em’ prefix to indicate ‘m’ for Marha… Thus Empress!
