What is Service-Now and how is it related to ITSM?

I'm new to Service-Now, can anyone help me to find out what is ITSM and how Service-Now is related to it.
What is the best way to learn this tool so that it is easy to know and understand.
Service-Now started out as an Cloud ITSM Tool, now it contains much more and you can also create custom application on the Platform. But I would suggest you check out there Wiki and Community which is actually pretty good.
http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Get_Started
https://community.servicenow.com/welcome
ITSM is broad topic, it's about Incident, Change, Problem Management and a proper CMDB. You will find enough on the web. Like on Wikipedia.

QlikView Resources

I want to add Qlikview Development to my skill-set. I have a C# and SQl background. Are there any free online resources to getting me going at developer level not end-user? What's the best starting place for me and the level of difficulty involved.
I am looking for resources that can help me to expert level. One resource I found is the Udemy course and if anyone has done it please share your review of the course content.
You can find good videos on youtube (like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_BigFXCis).
When you install qlikview, you have there a qlikview tutorial directory. Follow the pdf file and do everything on that pdf. it is very extensive, but after that you can start developing intermediate solutions. The PDF actually covers the whole QV official course.
After that, go to the qlikview cookbook site and start exploring more possibilities.
Find more blogs on QV and subscribe to them.
QV community is amazing. use it!
Qlikview is relatively easy to "get" at first, but don't be fooled by its simplicity - its a whole platform. I've been developing in QV 7 years now and still learn something new once in a while.
And I have to say it - its a very good choice! QV is amazing and very popular.
There isn't much I couldn't do with it.

Project management and bug tracking software [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:

Project Management tool for bugs and projects together?
I've been looking for a service that offers bug tracking + project management and maybe a place where we can write ideas ( like an idea repository ).
We're a small start-up consisting of only 2 people ( developers ). We're looking for a free service, doesn't matter if it's hosted online or if we have to host it on our servers.
By the way, I've really looked a lot and I just couldn't find the perfect solution for us, so any help would be really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
For such a small group you can get the atlassian software for something like 10$ I think. With Jira (Issue tracking) and Confluence (wiki) you would have a solid base to grow from.
GitHub is a good alternative to check. Does everything you asked for. There is a free option for open source projects, and you can pay for private repositories as well.
If you're looking for an idea repo, why not use an online note-taking site/program? Evernote is great for this as it also syncs with other computers, web, phones, etc. It arranges/categorizes them neatly, lets you take pictures.
For a quick and simple project management tool, I use Wedoist. It's really easy to set up; suitable for very small teams. You can use a tag/folder for bugs, and prioritize it if you wish. Almost no learning curve.

How to keep track of bug progress and feature request in web development projects?

I am trying to find the best way to maintain a bug tracker and feature/upgrade requests for clients on web development projects. Ideally it would be an open source system we can have installed on a sub domain of our site.
This will then allow each client to login and add bugs/features/upgrade which we can hopefully keep track of.
I have been trying to use and implement trac but it just feels too "techy" and a little too complex for setup.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Shadi
UPDATE
Just to clarify, we do want a system to install on our servers, the trouble with trac is the install process in relation to what you get and how clients feel about it is a little poor. But if something is awesome but has a complex setup, that isn't a problem...
Mantis is another. Simple UI.

If you have Linux boxes, trac is much easier to install. Config takes a bit, but wasn't a problem in my experience.
I've heard good things about FogBugz. :)
If you don't want to install it yourself they have a hosted solution also.
Have you taken a look a Bugzilla? Not sure if it meets all your needs but it is free but you can get paid support. It's an open source project AFAIK.

A good framework for easily creating a social networking site

I was just reading about Magento, a free framework for easily creating an ecommerce site. I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar, easy to use framework that is designed specifically for social networking sites.
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
I've seen a few people mention MonoX (based on ASP.Net), but I've not had a chance to evaluate it yet myself: http://www.mono-software.com/Pages/MonoX-ASP.NET-Portal-Framework.aspx
Ning.
Edit. The Ning business model is, they host your community for free and they get the revenue from adverts on the site. If you want to host it yourself you can, but you need to license the software.
Edit 2 I recommended Ning because I participate in a community hosted there. A minute's Googling through Elgg which seems to be more what you're looking for, but I haven't had an direct experience of it.
Laconi.ca (micro-blogging - which could be considered a subset of social networking). It's an open source option on which you could base a project (plugins have already been developed).
You could try something like JomSocial, which is built on top of Joomla.
Having just looked at this question again, you might find that Drupal is pretty useful in building a social networking site too.
We have recently built a private social network for a client, based on Drupal, and lots of the functionality is a pretty good match, particularly if you include modules such as User Relationships and Organic Groups.
I hope that helps!
