VIJAY MUKHI'S TECHNOLOGY CORNUCOPIA
"If you're short on kicks, there's always the latest way to break your neck."
And then there were the days when a good old desk used to be a waste paper basket with drawers where you could conveniently lug around slitting wrists at the edge of the piles-a-files. The first glitch is we, as human beings, have made too many wrong mistakes. Like inventing the outlandish gadget, which does little more than redefining a desk to a waste paper basket with circuits, popularly known to mortal souls as a computer. Sooner than you could spell the word 'Integrated Circuits', it became another paraphernalia of the Kooky. The second glitch is that computer technology has begun to move faster than anything else . Which brings us to the amorphous blob of the Internet and the vast scaffold of the World Wide Web. One of my idiosyncrasies is to be o n the dashboard of state-of-art techie lore and like it or not, that can be as intoxicating as a goblet of golden ambrosia. So while my human equivalents out there cavil over Gulf wars and gorky WhiteWaters, I am cosily ensconced in my chair, blanket and all, lurking in the rigorous techno-wilderness of cyberdom.
Here I have a wagon load of caboodle on the latest technologies of the world (which are known for their propensity to send the most geeky of nerds somersaulting) all shoehorned into one page.

Enterprise Resource Planning
Our new focus is on ERP. Within a short span of time we plan releasing books and online tutorials on Baan, Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft and SAP (BOPS) . The first of these tutorials, that will totally unravel ERP, is on PeopleSoft and is currently up for comments and feedback.
Java
All the Java related tutorials we've got have been collected right here. A must read!
Core Internet concepts and Protocols
Learn about TCP, IP, ICMP, UDP, Ethernet and others at the byte level, not at just the WinSock level. See the actual bytes which flash across the lines when you use the Internet. This may not be as practical as using the WinSock, but it's just about as deep as you can dig into the innards of the Internet. A must read for any serious Internet enthusiast.
A WinSock Tutorial with Source Code and Demos of simple servers and clients. Everything you wanted to know about the WinSock, but were afraid to ask.
NOTE: By the time you're through with these tutorials you should know enough to write you're own
TCP/IP stack! Along the way you'll also learn to code a SYN flooder, a Ping of Death utility and a WinNuke program.Internet programing that refuses to die.
The material available at this site covers one section of the entire course conducted by Mr. Vijay Mukhi at his Computer Institute. This course comprises an entire spectrum of technologies. All that you need, to understand these technologies, is a little knowledge of any programming language. If you already know a little bit of C, that's great. But if you don't, at this site, you will be able to start off from the basics of C , move onto C++ and lead onto Java, ActiveX and DCOM . Along the way you will get onto the meaty stuff like Sockets Programming, TCP/IP and the other protocols, in order to write your own browsers, servers, email programs etc.
The lowdown on OLE and COM
The concepts of COM explained through small, step by step programs.

Microsoft's C++ compiler now understands COM. Read all about it!
ActiveX
A lot of people compare Active with Java. That's a bit like comparing apples with oranges. True, they're both fruit, but only one keep the medic away !!
Distributed Computing
A more eligible successor to HTML on the relatively arid pastures of the web, Javascript is stuff even that motor-mouth female neighbor of yours can work on!
The bare-bones shebang about Netscape Plug-ins
Lets face it, programming with the everybody's cup MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) is not of eggnog. Meant preferably for the people who swig down Classes faster than Budwieser, feel at home on the C++ turf and nibble on Precompiled Headers for grub, this section on blistering barnacles is a plug-ins breaks the ice about what in plug-in anyway (if you are not feeling pa rticularly ornery, however, it might have you wishing for a crystal ball!)
Everyone's told you how difficult this topic is, but if you click up there, you're going to discover how stunningly simple Server Side Programming really is. This tutorial is still being worked on, so keep coming back to check up on our progress.
A new Network Operating System from the guys who wrote C.
If you thought Java was a good idea, this is going to blow you out of your socks !! Sun has just pioneered a new concept, TClets ! These are programs written in the Tcl/Tk scripting language and which can now be used on the Internet, thanks to a Netscape Plugin by Sun. The effects are mind-blowing !!! Web pages never looked this good before and programming TClets is far easier that writing Java applets. And with Sun's legendary marketing department behind it, it won't be long before this relatively unknown language becomes an international celebrity !
Projects with Source Code
Multimedia on the Internet
Stuff that can be ignored....
A bunch of guys who get together to talk about the latest Microsoft technologies. For die hard fanatics and Bill fans only.
India takes a sip of hot sizzling Java...
A lot of the pages we've put up recently are Preview Releases. That means no grammer checks, no editting and speeling mistakes galore! Check these pages out at your own risk!
We would like to thank Ms. Meeta and Mr. Prashant Ajjampur for giving us some space on NecaNet (www.neca.com) and Mr. Vishal Doshi for giving us space on NetworkGenie (www.networkgenie.com)

I will be more than delighted to know you. :) Seriously though, feel free to get in touch with all the comments, suggestions etc you might have regarding these no-holds-barred endeavors.
