Cost of Becoming an iOS Developer

 

So you want to know the upfront cost of programming apps for Apple’s iOS?

• Php52K MacBook (http://www.istudio.ph/macbook/)
• $99 Fee for Standard Apple Developer Program

That’s all you need: no more than Php 60K.

BPI Branch Locator

Sometimes you want to find the BPI Bank closest to your area and here’s a self-service URL:

Displaying Custom Error Messages / Enabling Detailed Errors on IIS 7

 

I was deploying an ASP.NET MVC 2 default application to one of my GoDaddy hosted sites when I encountered the below screen:

How can I know the underlying problem?

Simply edit the web.config file.

(1) Inside <system.webServer> node add

<httpErrors errorMode=”Detailed” />

<asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser=”true” />

(2) Inside <system.web> node add

<customErrors mode=”Off” />

<compilation debug=”true” />

 

Wasn’t that so easy?!

 

NOTE: Remove the said lines after you have found and applied the fix to your problem. You don’t want your regular website visitor know the internals of your application, right?
