Steel Frame construction with Building Codes & Certified Drawings

Steel frame generally refers to a construction technique which makes use of horizontal steel I-beams and vertical steel columns in the shape of rectangular grid to support the roof, walls and floors of a building. The development of easy and cost-effective steel framing techniques has helped realizing skyscrapers of today. Steel framing offers exceptional design flexibility due to the intrinsic strength of steel allowing it to spread over a longer distance than wood and also withstand seismic and wind loads.

The International Code Council’s (ICC) International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC) provide complete guidance for standard steel framing. These building codes are largely accepted as the governing building codes by most building departments in the US. IRC and IBC codes also reference a series of standards developed by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the American Iron & steel Institute (AISI) to furnish additional information for the design of steel buildings and structures.

Just like any other pre-fabricated structural components, floor sections, walls and roof trusses require engineered layouts and drawings for local building code approval. Steel truss and panel fabricators are required to supply engineered designs, in accordance with the contractor’s architectural drawings. Commercial or non-residential construction designs will require an engineer’s review as well as seal irrespective of material being used for construction.

The very first step in executing any project should be a formal discussion with the local building authority. This is the best way to find out specifics that will affect your project and building code jurisdiction in future.

The process of examining a steel frame is similar to what is encountered for most structural techniques – first the reviewer will ensure that all specifications are accurate and in agreement with local code provisions. Then Architectural drawings are reviewed to make sure that wall types are accurately marked and details are provided for important connections, and electrical, mechanical and plumbing drawings are matched with the structural drawings. Finally, Structural drawings will be examined for consistency with the architectural drawings to make sure that exact detailing is supplied for members like steel trusses, studs and bar joists.

I want to face a 4 foot exterior concrete wall with thin river stone. What is the best construction technique?

What type of mortar is best? What is the best way to apply ties to the concrete? If I don’t have a concrete foundation on which to place the stone veneer, will angle iron screwed into the wall be adequate?

I have just finished having a concrete stone wall installed at my home that is 6 feet tall that did not require a concrete foundation. The fence was supplied by AFTEC, who specializes in concrete fences. The whole wall is made out of concrete that has some awesome texture that can be stained. When it comes out, it is stronger than a stone wall and they installed it for less than what I could build it myself. Check them out at www.aftec.com

How Green Are You? – Keys to Sustainable Construction

There are as many definitions of  “green” as there are shades of color. Wikipedia defines a green building, also known as a sustainable building as “ a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner.”

Dade County Florida’s Website reads that, “Sustainable building practices go beyond energy and water conservation to incorporate environmentally sensitive site planning, resource efficient building materials and superior indoor environmental quality.” The website lists five key benefits of sustainable construction that seems to concisely capture the “spirit” of the green building concept.

- Lower electric and water utility costs
- Environmentally effective use of building materials
- Enhanced health and productivity
- Long-term economic returns
- Reduced environmental impact

The need to reduce costs associated with energy production and  importing building materials,  the importance of conserving water and natural resources and minimizing environmental impact are challenges that are even more paramount within our island communities. Green  initiatives provide excellent benefits but carry a pricetag asociated with implementation. We’ve looked at the benefits and the challenges, but what are the affordable solutions?

Lower Eletric and Water Utility costs
Thin-film solar and Atmospheric Water Generation are two affordable technolgies that fit expectioannly well in the Caribbean region. With the abundance of sunshine we receive intermingled with overcast days, it is still estimated that a solar radiation of 4-5 hours per day is typical for the region. Using lighweight thin-film solar, with a capacity of an estimated 5 watts/sq ft. a typical 1,200 sq ft home could easily support a roof laminted 3,000 Watt solar power system. A system of this size would generate an estimated 12-15kWh per day.  By reducing electiical lighintg, cooling, and appliance loads to less than 4k the solar system can also be recued in size.

How do we reduce our electrical load calculations? Design and retrofit with L.E.D. Lighting,  A typical home using high efficiency L.E.D. lighting would use just under 250 Watts for the entire lighting circuit and provide equal or higher lumen output than convenienal incandescent or CFL lighting systems. Heat pump water heating technologies provide an estimates 7,000 btu output and a max water temp of 135 while using less than 800 watts nominal. Air Conditioning units using proven ductless-split DC Inverter technologies provide remote controlled zoned cooling while using as little as 1,200 watts for a 11,000btu system. Energy efficient appliances are readily available and help to reduce overall electrical loads

A very natural solution for clean water production in the Caribbean has been around since the beginning of time. Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) systems use the natural humidity in the air to produce up to 6gallons per day of pure filtered drinking water without the need for any plumbing or realated  infrastructure. Dispensing 99.9% pure water, the AWG system can be operated directly from solar power or plugs into a standard household outlet.  With a built in water heating element the units dispense hot or cold water on demand without the need for maintaining an inventory of bottled water. Production costs are estimated between $0.06 -0.14 per gallon of water.

Environmentally Effective use of Building Materials
What’s needed is a building system that can resist high winds, is versatile, structural, provides a high level of insulation, minimim waste and is affordable. Concrete Structural Insulated Panels (CSIP) provide an excellent alternative to conventional concrete block construction in the Caribbean. Proven and accepted throughout the United States, CSIP’s are pre-designed, pre-cut, professionally engineered, insulated, provide a strucural frame and exterior and interior concrete fire resistant surfaces for finishing. These lighweight concrete panels are produced by manufacturers that are members of the Unites States Green Building Council (USGBC) such as T.Clear Corp of Hamilton  Ohio. Their ProTec® CSIP building system  provides less skilled labor, reduces Wall Construction time to a matter days verses months and is competitively afforadble when compared to block or conventioanl construction techniques. The company literature states the panels are “framing, sheathing, insulation and interior wall surface all in one. This equates to building more homes in les time with fewer associated costs and waste.

Enhanced Health and Productivity
Clean water, fresh air, low VOC and no off-gasing products should be the benchmark for homes built under the “green” design concept. Energy conservation and eco-friendly homes do not happen by accident, it takes planning and design guidelines to ensure homes provide comfort, style and are also affordable. Choosing off the shelf products that are eco-friendly minimize costs and help descrease the time required to source specialized products that add time and expense to the construction process. Despite the misconception, “green homes” can be stylish, affordable and built on a reduced timeline.

The Protec® Building System is currently used by HDC Development Corp  within the Bahamas to build as it describes, “Net Zero Energy Homes”. Recently receing apporavel from The Bahamas Ministry of Works, the Protec Building System®  is meticuoslesy engineered to design loads of up to 150 mile per winds. According to the information from the company’s website, these “Net Zero Energy Homes” gerernate more energy than they consume, have minimal environmental impact, resist high winds and are very compatiable to developers seeking higher Construction Productivity rates.

Long-term Economic Returns
Unfortunately, when green initiatives are initially introduced into some regions for the first time, typically there exists an entense amount of resistance  as traditional stakeholders, with  entrenched concepts and methods are challenged by the new technology. However, for the greater good of the entire Caribbean  region, traditional beauracratis “red tape” needs to be pierced so that a new generation may benefit from the advances in proven  technology and ensure our regions continued success in the renewable energy amd sustainable development sectors.
Openminded acceptance of proven “green technologies” will bring investment, trainig, jobs and prosperity to the Caribbean region. The region is ideal to capture the full potential of clean solar and wind power generation. Long-term economic growth is the fruit that’s harvested when we plant the seeds of green initiavtes today.

Reduced environmental impact
Waste reduction, resource conservation and matinainting pure water inventories are important issues that face any region, but even more so here in the Caribbean islands. As our population grow so does the need to pay more strict attention to the subject of  waste management and recycling. Education and acceptance of recycling is the key. Conservation is an adopted lifestyle and the population must see it as a benefit in order to embrace it. Tangible incentives such as reductions in Waste Collection rates for househgolds that recycle, reduced utility rates for homes with  Solar  or wind Power Generation systems and reduced municipal water rates for households with Atmospheric Water Generators would go a long way to helping the large public adopt and embrace “going green”. 

Lets hope the islands of the Caribbean region can by careful and wise use of our startegic natural  resources become the worldwide leader in the adoption and implemntation of proven green technologies. It is clear we have the most to gain and success will equate to increased toursim, investment, training, jobs and prosperity for our region.

How can I get a job in sustainable building?

I’m interested in working with green architecture and design, such as straw bale construction, etc. I have a B.A. in Geologic Sciences and have been working in education for the past five years, so it’s a bit of a change. What should I do to get started?

If you know how to build sustainable buildings and have experience you can be self employed. If you want to have hands on experience search out balers in your area.

The perfect time to use patriotic party supplies

The Fourth of July is the perfect time to use patriotic party supplies. This is a very important holiday for Americans and people love to celebrate it. They get to show their love for party decorations for their country while also having fun. If you are planning a get-together for the next Fourth of July, then you should include some patriotic themed party supplies. Not only will it make your party look good, but your guests will also appreciate the effort that you put into this.

The main kind of patriotic craft that you can do will use flags. The American flag is used in almost all decorations for this kind of event. To make your party look the best that it can be, you should try to incorporate flags into the party decorations. If you have children, you can enlist them to make the flags. They can use paper and markers or cut shapes out of Construction Paper. Then you can put their creations out for all to see. They would work well on the side of your house and on tables.

Another patriotic flag craft would be to make flag inspired cupcakes. Create them as you normally would, except use the red, white and blue colors when you are frosting them. Not only will they look the part, but they will also taste great. When you pair the party decorations with the great food, as well as some well placed fireworks, you will have one great Fourth of July patriotic celebration that everyone will remember.

Patriotic party supplies is just what you need to make your holidays special. The food at this patriotic party should also fit the theme as well as be quite tasty.

You can also go down the classic picnic route with your Patriotic party supplies. That means you’ll make up plenty of deviled eggs, potato salad, ham and cheese croissants, and pie for dessert. You can also set up the old grill and put a few sides of beef out to cook. Grilled veggies are a great side dish for these treats. A good old red, white and blue Jell-O mold is just perfect for dessert.

How long would a tuna fish sandwich stay good for in a place where there was no sun but it was like 80 degrees

With mayo mixed,like if you were at work and it was in a baggie that was in a paper bag,like at a construction site in the shade but still very warm.

My husband runs heavy equipment on a mine-site and he takes a chicken-salad sandwich ( stay away from too much tuna; the mercury is bad for you ), “every” night. Now, it stays a good 75-80 degrees here during the night. He doesn’t take a “cooler” per say, just a regular lunch bucket and I pack it in aluminum foil.

Once you decide to build the base of your shed, there are certain things that you need to verify before you actually begin the work. At the beginning you should check if there are any regulatory problems. Also you will require ascertaining with your local zone bureau if there are distance specifications to be maintained between the shed and your property. After you know all the regulatory requirements, you can decide upon the construction site.

At the time of selecting the site, it is important to take into consideration the drainage system. Effort should be made to select a site where there would be little or no chance of water logging. To ensure this you need to make the ground level sloppy so that the water flows down.

If you are planning to go ahead with skid foundation, putting in around two inches deep and approximately a foot wide trampled gravel will help prevent the shed from any damage due to moist.

A skid foundation is quite temporary in nature. On the other hand a concrete foundation is more durable since it is not possible to move it after constructing. The process of constructing a concrete shed foundation is initiated by first levelling the location. Once the levelling is completed, a layer of welded wires is put to make it strong and then the concrete is poured on it.

If the do-it-yourself approach in building concrete slab appears complex you can ask for professional help to get it done. Inspite of concrete slabs being more durable, most people prefer to make storage sheds based on skid foundation.

While building a skid foundation shed, opt for a pressure treated lumber as this makes the shed decay proof. You can start by taking off 6-7 inches of mud so that it is at least one foot wider than the shed. Put gravel in the emptied space. It is easy to build a shed foundation if you have the necessary skill set, tools and adequate time at your disposal.

If you can build the shed on your own, you will definitely be able to complete the task at a comparatively lesser cost. You will realise this once you get the cost estimate of all the required materials. When you hire external help, most of your money is spent in paying the labour cost. Thus if you build the shed on your own you might just be able to make a bigger one without spending more money.

how much does it cost to build a foundation for a house?

Ok so my husband and I own some land down by the lake and were thinking about putting a manufactured home on it for a vacation home! I’m just wondering how much would it cost to build a slab foundation for a 1500 square foot modular home? I don’t know very much about construction We live in Kansas and the property is near Warsaw. I know this is not nearly enough information so any ballpark idea will be great! Thanks!

When you say foundation do you mean basement too? It all depends on what you are doing with it and the price for concrete and block in that area. I would contact a concrete outfit in your area explain to them what you are looking for and they will give you a more accurate estimate than you are likely to get on here

Air source heat pump design case study – air source heat pump, heat pump, air conditioning – HVAC Industry

First, heat pump types and their characteristics:

  1. Scroll compressor heat pump units:?

Scroll compressor capacity compressor, a stable operation, little vibration, low noise, used air – air heat pump units, suitable for medium and small projects. ?

2. Piston compressor heat pump units:?

Piston compressor capacity compressor, complex, low speed, vibration, noise, big, small unit capacity, multi-head combination can be assembled into a 1 million kcal / heat pump units at about, COP = 3.0 ~ 3.5;?

3. Screw compressor heat pump units:?

Screw compressor compressors for volume, simple structure, stable operation, little vibration, low noise, long life, COP = 3.5 ~ 4.5, suitable for medium and small projects, multi-head pump Units can be used for larger projects. Single screw for the balanced one-way operation, wear a small, non-axial thrust, the exhaust efficiency is slightly lower than the twin-screw. ?

2, Heat Pump Design: 1. Selection principles:? Heat pump has advantages and disadvantages, with the same capacity compared to single cold water unit, its power capacity, high cost, with air temperatures in winter heating capacity of attenuation serious, severe frost, etc., so, When a steam source in a project, the air conditioning cold and heat source should be “single cold water heat exchanger unit plus” program. Wuxi city steam heat network is being formed, we should be given priority over programs. I think that hospitals, hotels and other high temperature requirements of the winter heating projects not suitable for heat pump units, office buildings, hotels and other projects are more appropriate because they are generally used during the day, heat pump heating capacity decay is small, even heating and less effective indoor staff can wear more clothes and affect smaller. ?

2. Selection method:? Although the southern region of cooling load is greater than the general engineering thermal load, but the designers should calculate the cooling load in summer and winter engineering thermal load, press the unit cooling capacity cooling load to select the heat pump model, and then look The following inequality is established: Heat Pump outdoor air temperature for the winter (such as: Wuxi area -5 ) heating capacity under construction in winter heat load. If the inequality holds, the selection of appropriate heat pump unit. If the inequality does not hold, should be located in the air conditioning pipes on the auxiliary heating device or increase the capacity of heat pump units. Inequalities in Southern China over the general project is set up. ?

3. Reciprocating and screw-type heat pump units a number of performance comparison:?

Sales for many manufacturers to commercial interests, often one-sided or even malicious slander a brand or piston, screw-type heat pump units, we designers can not be blinded by the trivial, careful understanding of the performance of various models to make Selection of the right to judge. ? burn compressor problem: One reason is that selection does not result evaporator, for example, piston or screw-type heat pump units (taken

With the F-22 refrigerant) selected over evaporator difficulty due to back easily burn compressor oil; second reason is that impurities cause oil lubrication system is dirty, or compressor suction filter for admixture was broken causing smoke inhalation compressor impurities, impurities are easily damaged electrical insulation; The third reason is overheating protection, overvoltage protection, short circuit protection, defective;?

liquid impact problems: In fact, liquid impact on the piston and screw compressors are negative, both compression efficiency should be reduced;

efficient control of the compressor: piston-type and screw-type heat pump cooling (heat) quantity by capacity control solenoid valve control, when the piston compressor part load operation can be reduced to adjust the number of cylinders, screw compressor is adjusted by sliding valve. In the part of the load, both shaft power were lower COP values run almost [1];?

oil problem: piston and screw compressors are required in the summer and winter on heating oil, so that the refrigerant oil

Volatile out to ensure the normal lubrication of the compressor;?

maintenance problem: piston compressor parts about 268, the vulnerability of more than 1000 hours of the repair, maintenance, large; and screw-type compressor parts about 26, wearing of small, trouble-free operation a long time. Under normal operation, after a number of years if you replace the oil, filters, bearings, etc.;?

noise: screw-type heat pump units are the main sources of fan noise, noise in the unit generally 80dB (A) so, so units should use low-noise, low speed, vibration (via static and dynamic balance test) fan products, such as the Xerox 100 German companies use axial flow fans, 100RT screw-type heat pump noise can be controlled within 74dB (A) left and right. The piston pump units generally noise 80dB (A) above. We should note that the standard noise measurement method and measured tone chamber and the difference between normal environment issues;?

we also need to sample the heat pump manufacturers in winter heating capacity is 8 ambient temperature value, not the winter air temperature, the value calculation. ?

3, Heat Pump Design Case Study:

The following to the last few years I encountered in the design or see case study on heat pump units, after discuss it with colleagues. ?

Case : A project is a long history and has local characteristics of foreign business hotel, located in the roof of the six units central air conditioning heat pump model YCA90H (cooling capacity: 81KW), water pump model SB-X80 -65-155K (90T / H; 31M; 11KW)

The system, that some heat pump will not start. I would first check on the chilled water pump, water pump running current was found half of the rated current, water pump factory recognize quality problems, changing the parameters of the basic close impeller design value. The system running again, individual heat pump unit will not start the problem persists, indicating that the root of the problem is not a pump the size of the maintenance issues before and after the chilled water flow. At this time, some designers began to suspect a drag pump heat pump units 6 program No, no frozen water lines for the different programs, application pump, heat pump units correspond to the program. I think that the above two options are feasible. I found that after the heat pump units and even individual outlet pipe on the flow switch adjustment screw adjusted to minimum, still have not start, hard to use screwdriver to open unit pressure balance sheet. The construction site after repeated research and the flow switch, flow switch finally found a balance sheet in the other end of a very modest little screws with adjusting screw described above forces the contrary, they are a

what is lean construction? one of the case study of implementation of lean construction in building project?

what is meaning of lean construction ?
how these production management concept applied into construction industy.
case study is basically for building project, how that concept is applied into small firm

Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery — a new way to design and build capital facilities. Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly.

Applied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system – maximize value and minimize waste – to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process. As a result:

* The facility and its delivery process are designed together to better reveal and support customer purposes. Positive iteration within the process is supported and negative iteration reduced.
* Work is structured throughout the process to maximize value and to reduce waste at the project delivery level.
* Efforts to manage and improve performance are aimed at improving total project performance because it is more important than reducing the cost or increasing the speed of any activity.
* “Control” is redefined from “monitoring results” to “making things happen.” The performance of the planning and control systems are measured and improved.

The reliable release of work between specialists in design, supply and assembly assures value is delivered to the customer and waste is reduced. Lean Construction is particularly useful on complex, uncertain and quick projects. It challenges the belief that there must always be a trade between time, cost, and quality

5 Benefits of Using Residential Construction Software Applications

Some years back, the use of construction software applications wasn’t too well known and encouraged either, by people who oversaw and supervised construction projects. Building a home, they thought, was a relatively easier affair, which it was. But with time, as the complexity of the architecture increased and with the advent of newer technological advancements, a residential construction software application is considered paramount to any Construction Project setup.

Here are 5 benefits of using residential construction software:

1. Help in maintaining books and facilitates easier record keeping process - The verdict is if a Construction Company doesn’t have a good book and a record keeping practice, the chances of it going down are high. With a lot of modern day residential construction software, you would find that the entire process of maintaining the books is easy.

2. Works as an excellent estimating tool - It is important for construction contractors to have an accurate estimate of their budget and also be able to stick to the forecast. For an activity as varied as residential construction, you would find new variables setting in, which needs to be tackled by a good estimating tool. The good news is most construction software applications are good at this.

3. Easy to use - Given the fact that, contractors are good with constructing buildings and are not so much computer-geeks by nature, these applications don’t knock off too many grey cells. They are very simple to use, so any contractor who has some money would be able to use them.

4. Allow you to work backwards - Now, with these software applications, you could start with the prospective completion date and track the project back to milestones that need to be accomplished on the way to meeting the end objective. This is a new advancement in most of these applications, which is welcomed by contractors.

5. Residential construction projects get completed, without many delays - Post the mortgage crisis when housing developments stagnated, a lot of developers and contractors have used these software to increase the efficiency of their execution of the building projects.

If more than 50% of developers and contractors are clamoring to invest in these software applications, we know why! These applications make the life of contractors so easy that in some years from now, they could be termed indispensable tools.

What is the normal commission a residential Construction Estimator/sales person should make per sale?

I am a REALTOR in the state of Louisiana. Where I work, a normal commission is 6%. This 6% is divided in 4. 1/4 goes to the selling agent, 1/4 goes to selling broker, 1/4 goes to buyers agent, 1/4 goes to buyers broker. If it’s w/the same agency- 1/4 goes to selling agent, 1/4 goes to buyers agent, 2/4 goes to broker. If it’s same agent- 2/4 to dual agent…2/4 goes to broker. So let’s say it is the first example…If I sold a house that sold for $135,000.00-and I only represented the seller-My commission would be: $2025.00 The total commission would be $8100.00. I hoped this helped! Let me know if you need some help figuring out something!

IT audits: best service provider venomit

IT Audits are essential for companies large or small in order for you to identify what you have in place, why, and also to help identify improvements and system vulnerabilities. An information technology audit, or information systems audit, is an examination of the controls within an Information technology (IT) infrastructure. An IT audit is the process of collecting and evaluating evidence of an organization’s information systems, practices, and operations. The evaluation of obtained evidence determines if the information systems are safeguarding assets, maintaining data integrity, and operating effectively to achieve the organization’s goals or objectives. These reviews may be performed in conjunction with a financial statement audit, internal audit, or other form of attestation engagement.

An IT audit should not be confused with a financial statement audit. While there may be some abstract similarities, a financial audit’s primary purpose is to evaluate whether an organization is adhering to standard accounting practices. The primary functions of an IT audit are to evaluate the system’s efficiency and security protocols, in particular, to evaluate the organization’s ability to protect its information assets and properly dispense information to authorized parties. The IT audit’s agenda may be summarized by the following questions:

• Will the organization’s computer systems be available for the business at all times when required? (Availability)
• Will the information in the systems be disclosed only to authorize users? (Confidentiality)
• Will the information provided by the system always be accurate, reliable, and timely? (Integrity)

Types of IT audits

Various authorities have created differing taxonomies to distinguish the various types of IT audits. Goodman & Lawless state that there are three specific systematic approaches to carry out an IT audit:

• Technological innovation process audit. The aim of this audit is to construct a risk profile for existing and new projects. The audit will assess the length and depth of the company’s experience in its chosen technologies, as well as its presence in relevant markets, the organization of each project, and the structure of the portion of the industry that deals with this project or product, organization and industry structure.
• Innovative comparison audit. This audit, as its name implies, means conducting an analysis of the innovative abilities of the company being audited, in comparison to its competitors. This requires examination of company’s research and development facilities, as well as its track record in actually producing new products.
• Technological position audit: This audit reviews the technologies that the business currently has and that it needs to add. Technologies are characterized as being either “base”, “key”, “pacing”, or “emerging”.

Others describe the spectrum of IT audits with five categories of audits:

• Systems and Applications: An audit to verify that systems and applications are appropriate, are efficient, and are adequately controlled to ensure valid, reliable, timely, and secure input, processing, and output at all levels of a system’s activity.
• Information Processing Facilities: An audit to verify that the processing facility is controlled to ensure timely, accurate, and efficient processing of applications under normal and potentially disruptive conditions.
• Systems Development: An audit to verify that the systems under development meet the objectives of the organization and to ensure that the systems are developed in accordance with generally accepted standards for systems development.
• Management of IT and Enterprise Architecture: An audit to verify that IT management has developed an organizational structure and procedures to ensure a controlled and efficient environment for information processing.
• Client/Server, Telecommunications, Intranets, and Extranets: An audit to verify that controls are in place on the client (computer receiving services), server, and on the network connecting the clients and servers

I HAVE BOTH PROFESSIONAL INCOME & CONSTRUCTION INCOME , THAN WHAT IS THE REAL LIMIT OF TAX AUDIT?

If the gross receipts of your profession exceeds Rs.10 lakhs or if your Construction Business exceeds Rs.40 lakhs. Both are different and cannot be clubbed. Say your professional income is 9.9 lakhs and construction business turnover is 39.9 lakh. That means you have not exceed the limits of 10 lakhs and 40 lakhs. So no tax audit for you .

1.       eConnect.  Yes, this tool is the simplest to start professional software development and programming, especially if you are thinking about integrating add-ons.  eConnect is easy to understand for C# or VB .Net developer, who is familiar with SQL stored procedures.  MS SQL scripting is recommended, but not required, it is good for letting you in to eConnect architecture, as at the lowest layer of eConnect platform you will see SQL encrypted stored procedures.  eConnect is especially helpful if you are ecommerce programmer, who are sending customers and invoices to GP Sales Order Processing Module

2.       Great Plains Integration Manager.  For version GP 10.0 IM has new connector, based on eConnect, and if you are familiar with VBA, you can extend IM integration with such programming constructions, as data translation, pre and post integration, document scripts, allowing you to add or replace data, provided for integration

3.       VBA/Modifier.  This tools is a way to consider if your company still deploys Great Plains Dynamics of older versions: 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0.  For newer versions VBA, as being pre Microsoft .Net legacy scripting programming language, is sort of deemphasized.  If you are comfortable as computer programmer with old Microsoft Visual Basic, VBA (or Visual Basic for Applications) should be understandable for you right away, as VBA is in essence subset of VB.  VBA works together with GP Modifier, Modifier allows you to add existing fields to the modification dictionary (Dynamics.VBA), where you can append scripts to new or existing fields.  If you need access to GP tables, use ADO mechanism

4.       Microsoft Dexterity.  We already mentioned this EDI and programming tool above.  Dex in our opinion requires certified programmer to be engaged in the project, including end coding.  GP Dexterity is proprietary programming language (Sanscript), and it is tightly integrated and interlaced with GP tables, forms, triggers, windows and procedures, so you can not expect newly trained programmer will help experienced Dex developer to leverage programming and add value

What is the construction of a boot program, how does it work? Talking about yahoo messenger booting.?

I get booted from yahoo messenger repeatedly by people who are egotistical. I don’t swear, or use sex terms, call names. These booters seem to be either random or wishing to eliminate reason.
