In my experience the top DB platforms are Microsoft and Oracle. I have come to learn that MySQL is trusted in start-up companies and DB people who know this platform could make higher salaries, but I honestly rarely ever encountered MySQL in job searches.

One reason I like MS SQL Server is because it also includes the SSRS BI platform which is powerful and popular. DB folks who know SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) have become very sought-after candidates in many companies. In most cases, companies end up needing to buy licenses for third-party BI (Business Intelligence) applications that may cost a lot of extra money.

With SQL Server, BI and ETL (extract, transform, load) tools come with the initial license. I understand that maybe the interest in databases is mainly to understand DB construction, however you can't predict when or if you branch out and find out more.

Wordpress is more than a blogging platform, and here is one of its amazing application : Support tickets and Bug tracking. Quality Control is a Wordpress theme which allow you to turn a basic WordPress installation into a simple and straight-forward ticketing system. With Quality Control users can create tickets, assign statuses, milestones, categories, and tags. Other users can then interact with the tickets, updating their state, milestone, or any other property.

The theme require a lot of customization to make it usable for real world applications, and support the basic workflows for ticketing support systems, however I think it's a great platform that you can build on and customize easily.

VANCOUVER, Canada - October 18, 2010: Divcom Software today announces the release of HelpSmith 3.3, an important update of the help authoring tool for professional technical writers and software developers. The new version of HelpSmith includes improved Unicode support, the ability to use Flash and QuickTime animations in help projects, better compatibility with recent versions of Google Chrome, and other new features. The update is available immediately at http://www.helpsmith.com.

HelpSmith, a help authoring tool that combines a professional feature set, slight learning curve and comparatively low price, continues to receive new features, providing its users with up-to-date technologies and standards in help authoring.

One of the most important requirements for modern help authoring software is the ability to work with multiple languages due to support of the Unicode standard. HelpSmith 3.3 introduces improved support for Unicode: now not only the built-in word processor allows you to type text in multiple languages simultaneously, but all text controls that store numerous parameters of a help project. Such an approach meets the today's highest software standards and makes it easy to create, distribute, and view help projects written in different languages.
