Define Open Source Products??
I am dam sure you already know what is meant by open source but even then just wana explain it in one line.Open source products are those which you can use for free and distribute it and even sell them but whenever you made some changes in the core product features you will have to make it available for the open source community to download it Well this is not the complete definition of open source products and not the only definition on earth. So if you prefer some thing more on it I prefer Google it.
Some Open Source Products which I have used personally... (Using
LAMP)
LAMP stands for Linux Apache Mysql PHP
Joomla and several components
of Joomla which u can download from
http://extensions.joomla.org Joomla is basically a content management
system and infact its an excellent content management system having
comprehensive list of features with complete user-friendly backend
environment. Complete modular approach and the most importantly its has such
a easy installer that a non technical user can just simply copy the files to
his or her hosting service and can install it in few minutes hmmmmmm yah its
true. You wana learn more about joomla go there official website.
www.joomla.org/ Well for business
prospective Joomla is differnt ball game as different companies and
freelancers build extensions / components for joomla and they offer them for
sale or for free. So if u r good developer and having good experience in
developing php u can exercise ur skills in building components / extensions
for joomla and then publish them on
http://extensions.joomla.org and let people find you and hire you for
business hmmmmmm Do you like my idea???????????
