As I promised about 4 hours ago, here is my introduction to Hyper Text Transfer Protocol in form of a mind map.
It is to be intended as a really short introduction to this protocol. Like the previous one about computer networks, the mindmap summarizes materials copyrighted by Tanenbaum and also material taken from Wikipedia.

The topics covered are:

• Scope of the protocol
• HTTP connection
  • HTTP/1.0
  • HTTP/1.1
• HTTP request methods:
  • GET
  • HEAD
  • PUT
  • POST
  • DELETE
  • TRACE
  • CONNECT
  • OPTIONS
• Message Headers
  • Request Headers - all
  • Response Headers - all
• Status Codes:
  • 1xx Information
  • 2xx Success
  • 3xx Redirection
  • 4xx Client error
  • 5xx Server Error
• Sessions:
  • Cookies
  • Server-Side sessions
• Secure HTTP - HTTPS:
  • By URI scheme
  • HTTP Upgrade Header
  • SSL/TLS

You can browse an HTML version online.

You can download:

• Mindmap source file (Freemind)
• An export in PDF format
• An export in PNG format

As always, you are free and encouraged to contact me in case of errors or anything else.
Hope you like it!

As I promised, BD-incollo 0.1 is finished and the source code is available in the project page under the GPL 3 license.
Every MUST requirement has been done and just two MAY requirements could not be developed in just 6 days. But They will surely be in the next releases.
Sourcecode is well commented using xP standards and there are few comments where necessary, but is should be clear. If not, drop me a mail.
I will write a map that describes the source code tree tomorrow!
The conclusions of this experiment are that Django is really a web framework for perfectionists with deadlines! I spent more time playing with templates and CSS than with the whole python coding! It's a valid alternative to Ruby on Rails, and built on a programming language I really like.
Go and grab the code!

As I promised, I would like to announce the start of a new BD-thing! I'm currently learning Django because of job needing and because of fun. The best way to learn a new language (even if a framework) is to apply it for solving a problem.
That's why I decided to start BD-incollo!
BD-incollo will be a kind of pastebin clone written in Django. Totally free. Free meant as free software. You may download the sourcecode and use it by your own.
Ok, what's difficult with this? I'm planning to release a decent usable version in less than a week.
This means, I want to release the sourcecode on Sunday, 2008-09-28 and also to launch the service on Monday, 2008-09-29.

I believe in Django and I know it will be possible to make it!

As I promised more than 2 months ago, I've just released the sourcecode of the wordpress theme on my blog. BD-theme 0.8 is a set of experiments that will bring me to the final release, I cannot promise that it will work perfectly on every browser, but it will almost do the job. Meanwhile, I'm working since 7 days to the next release, 0.9, that should bring to the blog a final layout.
UPDATE 2008-08-22: The theme you're actually seeing in the blog is what will become BD-theme 0.9. I'm testing it.
