its not as easy as you picture it, especially for Syrians. I wanted to send my sister (Syrian) to continue her education in medicine, the German embassy in Syria completely rejected the application. I tried in Dubai, they asked me to open a

I'm a Syrian hacker myself, and I can suggest you a better option. Go to Dubai, it is easy to get a visit visa first, if you are in damascus you can go through Beirut Airport as the path is still safe between the cities (got many frien

I strongly disagree, php 5 has introduced a lot of fixes, performance improvements and many nice and great new features. I'm a big fan of python and I think that very intelligent people are behind its architecture, but honestly most of
