Screen Scraping

Screen Scrapping is how we can use server side code issuing an HTTP request to some other Web site, retrieving the returned results, and processing these results in some manner.
Use System.IO and System.Net to accomplish this task.

string url = string.Empty;
WebProxy prxy = new WebProxy("http://1.0.0.0");
url = "http://www.abc.com";

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);

req.Method = "GET";
req.Proxy = prxy;

try
{
HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
}
catch (System.Net.WebException ex)
{
TextBox1.Text = ex.Status.ToString();
}

PMP Exam Format is Changing

Changes to PMP Exam

Last day to take exam is 30-August-2011

Eligibility Criteria

the eligibility criteria will remain the same. Only the multiple-choice examination content of the PMP is changing.

PMBOK

The update of the examination for the new RDS does not affect the PMBOK® Guide, so candidates should continue to study the Fourth Edition, as well as other current project management titles.

Score Report

At this time, PMI does not anticipate any changes will be made to the PMP score report.

Major Differences New and Old Exam

the Professional and Social Responsibility content area (Domain 6) will now be tested in every domain rather than as a separate domain on the examination. As such, PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct is now integrated into the day-to-day role of a project manager, emphasizing its importance in each phase of the project lifecycle.

Matrix Organizational Management

I am opening this topic with the question

What is Matrix Organization Management?

The understanding I get from different aspects.

In Matrix Structure Management there is a pool from where resources are assigned to the Project Manager for a particular project. The Line Managers of the resources remains the same. The resources has atleast two reporting line.

1)Line Manager
2)Project Manager

This approach has its Advantages and Dis-Advantages. We will discuss them later.Lets focus on defining Matrix Organization Management.

Autoractic Management also driven by Racialism.

• This is a delima faced by some talented individuals expatriate working in different parts of the world. Some places has unwritten law that expatriate cannot take the leading role no matter how much qualified he/she is.
• The people sitting above him/her are either incompetent or inexperienced which adds to his/her frustation while listening to some of the elementary ideas and inexperienced mistakes.
• I want people views about it and their experiences and what are the steps/suggestions to take for career growth.

Note: I am discussing general behaviour so I didnt mean to hurt anyone. For me every Individual is free human being and he/she must be treated as human irrescpective of his color, ethnicity etc.
