User names and passwords in PHP can be encrypted using md5 function.

MD5 function calculates the md5 hash of a string. It is basically used for encryption. It is also used for digital signature applications, where a large file must be "compressed" in a secure manner.

Example:

Md5($str);

Crypt() function can also be used to encrypt a string,. It used MD5, DES or blow fish algorithms for encryption.

Syntax:

Crypt(str, salt)

Salt is an optional parameter used to increase the number of characters encoded, to make the encoding more secure

Retain -Specifies that retain should be invoked on the object upon assignment. takes ownership of an object

Assign - Specifies that the setter uses simple assignment. Uses on attribute of scalar type like float,int.

An OOK-Rec is a one of a kind record set, used to get to another record set.

In WF 4.0, the following two types of workflows are used:

 
     Flowchart workflows - Helps you to create workflows using the common flowchart elements. In WF, the Flowchart activity is generally used to implement a non-sequential workflow, and occasionally it implements sequential workflows in case the FlowDecision nodes are not used. The Flowchart activity contains a collection of flow nodes, which inherit from the FlowNode class. The following types of nodes or elements can be a part of a flowchart:
                 => FlowStep - Executes activities of a flowchart in a sequence.
                 => FlowDecision - Shows the execution on the basis of a Boolean condition.   It is similar to the If construct.
                 => FlowSwitch - Shows the execution on the basis of an exclusive switch. It is similar to the Switch construct.


      Procedural workflows - Helps you to create workflows using basic and sequential execution standards. In WF, procedural workflows use flow control constructs, such as While, Switch, ForEach, and If, to execute activities. These flow control constructs are similar to those found in procedural languages. Procedural workflows can also contain other flow control activities, such as Flowchart and Sequence.

View:

- Tail raid data representation is provided by a view to access data from its table.

- It has logical structure can not occupy space.

- Changes get affected in corresponding tables.

Materialized view

- Pre calculated data persists in materialized view.

- It has physical data space occupation.

- Changes will not get affected in corresponding tables.

An Android Intent is an abstract description of an operation to be performed. It can be used with startActivity to launch an Activity, broadcastIntent to send it to any interested BroadcastReceiver components, and startService(Intent) or bindService(Intent, ServiceConnection, int) to communicate with a background Service.The intent itself, an Intent object, is a passive data structure holding an abstract description of an operation to be performed.
Android provides many ways of storing data of an application. One of this way is called Shared Preferences. Shared Preferences allow you to save and retrieve data in the form of key,value pair.

In order to use shared preferences, you have to call a method getSharedPreferences() that returns a SharedPreference instance pointing to the file that contains the values of preferences.
