First acquaintance with Symfony

In spite of 5 years of experience in software development, I can’t boast of knowledge of any well-known framework for web development. I was using my own libraries. But recently I’ve heard a lot about Symfony and a few days ago my friend told me that at his work they use Symfony. I decided to check what it is.

Well, frankly speaking, my acquaintance with it has limited to reading some general information and watching some video clips on the topic. By the way, the videos are very demonstrative – you understand the essence of the system at once. And they claim that Symfony is the best tool for rapid website development (just with a click of a mouse). I’m not sure about it so I’m going to chak it and share my impressions and opinions.

Landlords are recovering

Recently the biggest landlord office in Los Angeles, California has claimed that they have reduced their debts and they have stored some cash. Nevertheless lot of work should be done before the company will become profitable again. The company which is famous for it’s skyscrapers has finished the year with profits only because they sold some of the buildings.

This is the largest landlord company in LA which owns many prominent building all over the country – Denver, San Diego and etc.

The president was really happy to announce that the staff managed to cut down the debts and to improve the company’s position.

The firm got into debts some years ago, but when the new president came, he started the aggressive politics to expand and to buy more property. But the nest president tries to get rid of all acquisitions made before and he sold lots of assets and made the company leave the part of the debt.

During the hard years of crisis the firm lowed the rent in their buildings and in such a way improves the situation inside the company. The current president is full of optimism that the worse is over.

Your legal way to earn money from a casino


There a proverb that the only legal way to earn money from a casino is to start your own casino.
Have you known that? If your answer is “yes” then could you explain what are you waiting for? The casino business is still one of the most profitable and reliable that means that if you manage to take the niche here you are going to be flush with money.
So what’s the right process to become a casino Master?
First you have to decide if you are going to start “brick-and-mortar” or an online casino. And once again you know the right answer. “Online” is an option of the 21st century.
Then you have to create a gaming site. That means every activity that should be performed from finding a domain to launching a site.
Decide on software. It’s the heart of your business. You may choose to rely on a turnkey solution for your personal casino or choose different providers of casino and poker software. In any case you have to think over the games you are going to operate. Wisely decide what gambling script you are going to use. I advise to have slots, video poker, some card games like blackjack or baccarat and of course poker. Consider to find cheaper prices from reliable providers of casino software. E.g. you may use this opportunity to buy slot games for sale. Also it would be better to create poker site that will live separately from your casino.
One more important thing about the gaming software is the verification of its quality. Pay your attention to the sign of eCOGRA or any other respectful agency that could certify that online game software technologies work properly and honestly. Remember that lack of trust is going to ruin your business.
Pay much attention to design gaming site properly. Remember that design is very important part of a casino site development. People that will come to your site have to make their decision whether to give you money or not. And the main factor of their choice is the design of your site.
Don’t forget that you need a gambling license before you start your activity. Those who are not licensed by respectful authorities don’t have chances to survive in this competitive world.
And after that marketing starts. Marketing (or it’s better to say the quality of your marketing) is the answer to the question whether you will be able to earn from your personal casino.
All of this demands a lot of management activity and money. That’s why there’s not so many casinos no matter what gaming software companies are saying :) .
