Using a single language as your client is the basic rule in the use of language. That’s just simple. If we use a consistent language, it contributes to a better understanding ofthe requirements. Let’s put it this way, a recent project has product catalogue for seeds. In the initial draft, we categorized the seeds inyo “types”, “categories” and “sub-categories”.

While this made sense for us, the client and others involve in the project use the terms “crop”, “type” and “variety”. This might mean confusion if we don’t use the same terms as the client. So therefore, a useful technique to avoid this problem is to include a glossary of terms and definitions in the requirements document.

There is a common requirement of hosting the WebBrowser Control. It is the ability to override or add to the context menus that are displayed as the result of a right-click in the browser window. This is of particular interest to applications that are using the WebBrowser Control to view rich content but do not want the user to know that HTML is being viewed. This is also advantageous for applications that do not want the user to be able to view the HTML source for the content.
To achieve this, there are two techniques. First involves the use of the IDocHostUIHandler interface and allows an application to disable or replace the context menus. The second technique involves the use of the registry and allows the existing context menus to be extended

PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint Server 2010 is a performance management service that you can use to monitor and analyze your business. By providing flexible, easy-to-use tools for building dashboards, scorecards, reports, and key performance indicators (KPIs), PerformancePoint Services can help everyone across an organization make informed business decisions that align with companywide objectives and strategy. Scorecards, dashboards, and KPIs help drive accountability. Integrated analytics help employees move quickly from monitoring information to analyzing it and, when appropriate, sharing it throughout the organization.

Prior to the addition of PerformancePoint Services to SharePoint Server, Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 functioned as a standalone server. Now PerformancePoint functionality is available as an integrated part of the SharePoint Server Enterprise license, as is the case with Excel Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. The popular features of earlier versions of PerformancePoint Services are preserved along with numerous enhancements and additional functionality.

New PerformancePoint Services features
PerformancePoint Services now can utilize SharePoint Server scalability, collaboration, backup and recovery, and disaster recovery capabilities. Dashboards and dashboard items are stored and secured within SharePoint lists and libraries, providing you with a single security and repository framework.

New features and enhancements of SharePoint 2010 PerformancePoint Services
• With PerformancePoint Services, functioning as a service in SharePoint Server, dashboards and dashboard items are stored and secured within SharePoint lists and libraries, providing you with a single security and repository framework. The new architecture also takes advantage of SharePoint Server scalability, collaboration, backup and recovery, and disaster recovery capabilities. You also can include and link PerformancePoint Services Web Parts with other SharePoint Server Web Parts on the same page. The new architecture also streamlines security models that simplify access to report data.
• The Decomposition Tree is a new visualization report type available in PerformancePoint Services. You can use it to quickly and visually break down higher-level data values from a multi-dimensional data set to understand the driving forces behind those values. The Decomposition Tree is available in scorecards and analytic reports and ultimately in dashboards.
• You can access more detailed business information with improved scorecards. Scorecards have been enhanced to make it easy for you to drill down and quickly access more detailed information. PerformancePoint scorecards also offer more flexible layout options, dynamic hierarchies, and calculated KPI features. Using this enhanced functionality, you can now create custom metrics that use multiple data sources. You can also sort, filter, and view variances between actual and target values to help you identify concerns or risks.
• Better Time Intelligence filtering capabilities that you can use to create and use dynamic time filters that are always up to date. Other improved filters improve the ability for dashboard users to quickly focus in on information that is most relevant.
• Ability to include and link PerformancePoint Services Web Parts together with other PerformancePoint Services Web parts on the same page.
• Easier to author and publish dashboard items by using Dashboard Designer.
• SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 support.
• Increased support for accessibility compliance in individual reports and scorecards.
• The KPI Details report is a new report type that displays contextually relevant information about KPIs, metrics, rows, columns, and cells within a scorecard. The KPI Details report works as a Web part that links to a scorecard or individual KPI to show relevant metadata to the end user in SharePoint Server. This Web part can be added to PerformancePoint dashboards or any SharePoint Server page.
• Create analytics reports to better understand underlying business forces behind the results. Analytic reports have been enhanced to support value filtering, new chart types, and server-based conditional formatting.

To conclude, PerformancePoint Services, by becoming tightly integrated with SharePoint Server 2010, takes advantage of many enterprise-level SharePoint Server 2010 features. Unfortunately, SharePoint Foundation 2010 doesn’t include this feature. There are still many choices in SharePoint family of products that include SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Server 2007 and associated free SharePoint web parts and templates.

Your computer stores files and cookies that are related to the website that you visit. As a result of this, your browser may actually store malicious software that you never intended to download in the first place. Therefore, it is important to cache files on a regular basis as well as clear your cookies and browser history. And while it may slow down your computer, consider leaving little storage as much as possible – because the malicious software files won’t be downloaded if there isn’t space. Most of these programs do not do more than just record the URL of websites that you visit for advertising purposes.

Even though other computer security applications and firewalls are meant to protect your personal information, they are not foolproof. There are many bugs in your programs that can be exploited by hackers, since incomplete software programs don’t really protect every area of your computer. In some cases, the operator error makes it easy for hackers to get into a computer. One of the easiest ways for these hackers to circumvent a firewall or other security software is to slip dangerous codes into something that you want to download. It is impossible to be 100% protected, but you can still do something to protect your computerized information from identity theft.
