I was at Barcamp Cameroon 2010, where my company www.afrovisiongroup.com was privileged to be one of the sponsors and I went there to present my new project www.camerborn.com.

Show Ya Sef Networks Africa (SYSAfrica) www.sysafrica.com is one of those things that made me happy in the year 2009.

Recently my love for Android OS has gone over the bar mainly due to the vast penetration of mobile technology in Africa and the FOSS nature of Android which permits any entrepreneur(even those in the developing world) to start their own smartphone manufacturing company like Nokia, HTC, Apple etc. So I am getting more and more into Android and smartphone applications development waiting for the

Getting up from bed this morning after a long holiday trip to limbe yesterday, I cant be more happy when the first thing I see is an article putting my name on the light along with other top 49 Cameroonian personalities worth emulating in 2010 by Ducle Camer .

Once more, the results have been released and still not legal for someone to host them online.I wonder why, but I am still hopping that one day this will change.

Kohana is not only my new found love when building applications with php, its also rock solid MVC (Model View Controller) Object Oriented Framework for php developers.Just like the .NET Framework and Java SDK, Kohana can be referred to as some sort of SDK for php developers, it brings a lot of order into php codes which have been referred to as spaghetti codes for years .With Kohana php or other

Nowadays I am more of a developer than a designer though I love doing both. A few days back I tried coming up with some designs as required by clients but I was always stuck and not liking the things I did.

Buea is fast becoming a hub for information and communicatin technology (computers, software,internet) in Cameroon. This is due to an increase in the number of small business startups dealing in Information Technology, which leads to an increase in the number of software solutions at lower costs than Douala and Yaounde (alot of competition just like MTN, Orange and Camtel).AfroVisioN Group (

Google or "Big G" has finally decided to own the internet by releasing the linux of browsers. Microsoft has not finished fighting linux now they have to fight Chrome. Google used the power of linux, put thousands of computers together and built what Microsoft could never be able to kick off and in other words, build what will be the internet monopoly. I don't blame them because its always said "

For a couple of weeks now we have been in talks with two Software firms in Switzerland. The Swiss firms are having a lot of work and they are willing to outsource some of it to AfroVsioN Group, Cameroon ( www.afrovisiongroup.com ) . This means AfroVisioN Group's revenue will increase greatly and also the number of employed Cameroonains will also increase. We will have to train more young talents

I watched 'blood diamond' the scary movie about the war in Sierra Leone and I found out this TLA (three letter accronym) DIA which stands for "dis is Africa". The whole movie revealed to me that whenever something is discovered in Africa it leads to blood shed. Things like Ivory, Gold, Diamond, and Oil have all led to brutal killings here in Africa.So I was wondering if this DIA ( dis is africa )

One of the worst things about tabbed browsing is the ability to open many sites ( in tabs ) at the same time while navigating them easily without switching the windows.The Mozilla Firefox browser has strongly pushed tabed browsing due to the ease of use it brings to web surfing.

Yesterday(May 31st 2008( I had a good trip to Douala where I met soo many interesting friends of mine, including FEE ( kerawa.com ), Enstine Muki of Njangi Host Cameroon ( betterplanning, enstine.net njangihost) , DJ Rene Cool ( So Sound Records), Mr AkoAkere Che Mone ( MTN Cameroon ), Mudjock Judith ( weboptimal.net), Suh Calvin ( a friend and prospective software developer ) and a couple of '

I wanted to continue "why web 2.0 ventures are not making it big in africa", so I decided to drop this post. Please read on ...There are soo many issues why a social network/media site cannot get to millions in Africa as a whole, although the number of internet users in Africa is up to 50+ million.[Challenge: can your venture make an African who is not interested in the internet use the internet

I was on nairaland the other day and someone asked if the idea of setting up a Nigerian or African wide social network was a good idea.Personally I think its a good and bad idea. Its good if it helps people share what is valuable to them but it will be bad if its just for fun like facebook.com or myspace ( Africans dont have money and they dont have free internet ).These are some of the things to

I guess today is one of those days where I get up with one mad Idea ( my bad ). Well I have this strong feeling that the whole internet can be considered some sort of a rival to myspace, facebook and or hi5, just to name a few of such social networking sites. Imagine the following: - Personal blogs or personal sites are to become your profile on this social network - emails from your blog to

Google Adsense the biggest ads network on the planet, which is also known as the "Google money making machine", seems to be a total failure in Africa[IMHO - anyway thats why its on my blog...].Dont rush to comment yet, read on to get my points.I have been running www.ubstudents.com and its having atleast 20 unique visitors per day, with such traffic in USA I guess I will be having atleast 2 USD

Codeigniter - www.codeigniter.com , the best php web development framework, is far better than the .NET framework's ASP.NET.I have never used the .NET framework before but php appears to be much more efficient than all Microsoft technologies such that even Ballmer wants to buy facebook.com (php) and yahoo.com (php).When I started programming some three years back, I was contemplating on using php

Microsoft has been investing billions of dollars to catch up with Google on Internet Business.But I think they have all the money and power to catch up but they have been doing so the wrong way. To me they are not getting it right because they have never had such a rival before.Microsoft did not grow up with the internet, so they dont understand how to fight someone who actually made the internet

I personally think, Remix and Featuring, two concepts that originated from Sean "P Diddy" Comb's Badboy Entertainment, are nice cultures that can help the Information and Technology Industry grow very fast.For example if Google could team up with Facebook to release a social web property(hosted on a seperate domain name), all Google fans and facebook fans will use the site and the resulting

Google the internet giant who uses open source technologies to make billions of dollars every month is actually an enemy to open source just like Microsoft.Google embraced open source technologies that were geared against Microsoft, and trampled on Microsoft to become web King. But right now their core business (Google money making machines: - Adworks and Adsense) are not open source.You might

I guess everybody on the web knows the new kid on the blog, Mark Zuckerberg and his facebook thingy. Its cool and I personally think its the best design I saw on the web in 2007. It is said that "when you build a good thing the money will follow", but its not the case with facebook.The case of Google.com the giant, they did a cool thing (better search results) and the money followed but with

Well I just turned 22 some days ago and I have been busy working on strange web applications that have been taking my time to the point that I could not tell how the days go by. Today is a great day because I am like halfway done with the application (that will take me the next 6 months to complete ). While I am working on it , am also working for AfroVisioN www.afrovisiongroup.com .Guess this is

After roaming arround for some time I realised I had some skills in blogging. From now on I will be informing the world on anything that comes acros my ears, eyes or my fictitious mind.

To me Microsoft Intermidiary language was not to make programmers hangon to microsoft but to make you realise the way forward. And the god ofprogramming blessed us with GWT and the WEB INTERMIDIARY LANGUAGE. withjavascript we are blessed, So I AM CALLING ON GOOGLE TO USE ITS MONEYAND MAKE ALL DEVELOPERS START CODING IN GWT.This is my approach:gwt, has done a great job to compile java to
