1. Introduction 1.1 Project Background

I started development from the scratch and kept on learning technology and features to be added. I was fascinated by the open source technologies as lots of support is available on net. These were features, which bobbled by mind and then search for technologies and then shaping the website called http://www.iprofile.in An online Identity for everyone.
