Web Development Resources
We’re pretty particular about the tools we like to work with: Magento for Ecommerce, WordPress for CMS, jQuery for enhanced UI. Under the hood we like driving with the LAMP framework (Debian Linux, Apache Web Server, MySQL and PHP). Everything we do here at Sycha relies on open source so hopefully we can give back something through this collection of web development resources.

If you need to add a custom State / Province / Region to a Country in Magento, you’ll need to modify the database manually as there currently isn’t a means to do this from within the Magento admin. Fortunately it’s pretty simple.
