a stand alone free software under GPL and can be found

Koray's comment: "Similar server-side solutions
for simpleviewer were a little bit cheesy so I prefer

The Department of Communication
and Design is one of Turkey's leaders in the field
of media theory and media practice. The research of
our staff is at the forefront
of media and cultural studies in Turkey since the departments
foundation in 1998.
The Department of Communication and Design is a response
to the growing need of our increasingly globalized and
networked world in which mass communications and visual
technologies of various kinds play a fundamental role.
Therefore the Department of Communication and Design
aims to educate media professionals, with a special emphasis
on visual communication and visual technologies, specifically
in the fields of advertising, journalism, visual design,
video and TV production and new media. Our rationale
is to produce knowledgeable and responsible media professionals
who are able to respond to the urgent needs of development
and globalization in effective ways.
The departments curriculum is designed to give the students
a thorough grounding in basic professional skills and
competencies in the above-mentioned areas. As we believe
that such professional skills and the nature of the field
require students who are knowledgeable in social sciences,
humanities and arts, the curriculum includes several
courses in these fields.
