Looking for a book that would teach me Java from the ground
Hi! I'm a high school student looking to learn a lot about Java Programming. I'm taking Computer Science III right now and I took Computer Science I last school year (My school don't offer Computer Science II). However, my Comp. Sci. I teacher was really bad and barely taught us, this resulted in a lot of people failing that class. So, I barely know anything about Java Programming and I'm slowly starting to understand it a bit by bit in Comp. Sci. III class. I thought it would be helpful if I purchased a book about Java and study on my own at home in addition to learning at school. Does anyone know a good book that teachers the basics of Java and beyond? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
"Head First in Java" book I've heard is highly recommended. I wouldn't suggest certification books since in my opinion they are for developers who have taken several programming classes and are preparing to pad their resumes with certifications for jobs
. You can go to the bookstore to see if its the book you want, then order it on-line a lot cheaper (www.amazon.com). After reading it, you have it on your bookshelf for reference (the index helps a lot to re-locate information). After you compile and run a few programs from the DOS command line, I would suggest downloading Eclipse Europa (search google for it). Its a free development environment many professional developers use. You'll have to install JDK first (its free, search google for it).
If you want to eventually develop web applications, here are the books I would recommend (I dont expect you to read them until you're in college, but it gives you some idea):
HTML
JSP
Servlets
JDBC
SQL
Javascript

Help needed: I teach neuroanatomy and am looking for an app that would allow me to use a stylus on the iPad screen to label diagrams in wordforMac or powerpoint format. Any suggestions?
I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...

I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen. I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email. Does this app exist? It seems like we were doing these same types of things with Palm Pilots years ago, one would think this would work with iPads?

Hi. Looking for an app that would allow me to verbally dictate ideas and then edit them on the screen. Uses for journaling or short stories. Anything like that out there?
HI,
I'm on OS X 10.6.8
Are there any less expensive or freeware versions or other programs? I too am just looking for a really SIMPLE talk to type thing, just for writing stories, NOT for opening secret programs or giving commands to other programs, just writing stories...
Thanks!

Looking for a preloader that would work with my fullscreen (liquid) flash
Hi!
I'm building my own Flash website using a fullscreen (liquid
layout) Flash tutorial that I found somewhere (can't remember
where)...
I was having problems with a preloader that I've been using
(modifying) for my Flash jobs... I decided to keep working on my
website anyway and get back to that later... But now it's just
annoying me and I'd really love to figure out how to get a
preloader to work with my site.
My site is not complete yet, and it's probably not built the
best way it should (my first full-flash website!.. plus I'm a
designer, I really suck with code) but here's a link to download my
zipped .fla file (Flash CS3) + fonts (don't know if you need that
but anyway):
http://www.studioorangedesign.com/SOD_site.zip
Hopefully, you guys can tell me how I could get a preloader
to work with my site.
All I really need is to have a really simple clean font that
shows a percentage going up or a bar filling up... nothing fancy
needed here...
Thanks!Hi there,
The following code is what I use for preloading. You have to
put it on the first frame. I think you will be able to attach it to
your own code.
//Actionscript 3
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,testInterval);
function testInterval(e:Event):void{
var nLoadedBytes:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
var nTotalBytes:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
//trace (nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)
percent.text = Math.round(nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)+
“% complete”;
//trace (nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)
if (nLoadedBytes >= nTotalBytes) {
trace(”load complete”);
this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,testInterval);
play();
//End

Looking for an app that takes presence!
Hi,
We are looking for an APP that would allow us to copy a contact list from an excel file and then strike the name if the person is present at the event.
When the event is over, I would like to save that list and export it back to my computer.
Is there an app that would suit my need?
AlexWhy not just open your excel file in an app that edits excel documents? That app would be far more useful than a specific use app, in that you could use it for all kinds of documents other than your attendance.
Jason
p.s. unless you have a mac with iWork on it, I wouldnt suggest Numbers on iPad because it cannot export back to excel yet from iPad. -
Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!
I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:
http://www.switcheasy.com/products/CoverBuddy/
I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination. -
I am looking for a device that will answer a landline phone. I have a Phonevalet, which answers, takes messages, has call block and is pluged into my Address Book, but it was discontinued, and I would like to add another line. Ovalabs made a similar device, but it also is gone. Is ther a way to use an Apple Modem to take calls? Any other product? The best part of the PhoneValet for me was it would announce the caller ID over my stereo (pluged into my Mac) and I could hear who was calling in my workshop and decide if I wanted to interupt the call.
I know I'm talking about expensive apps, but having been in prepress for about 30 years now, I really don't look at anything other than Quark XPress or InDesign for page layout apps. Your printing vendor will also be much happier with you when you use these products. Some areas of the U.S. tend to be mostly Quark oriented; others, InDesign. Ask your vendor what they would prefer, and if there are any free or cheap alternative apps they'll accept documents from.
Apple's Pages app (part of iWork) is a decent page layout program, but hasn't been updated in four years. It also doesn't support CMYK. If you place a CMYK image in the app, it will export out an RGB version of it. Not good! You can work with RGB images if you prefer, but your CMYK translations will be left to the skill of the print shop you use to do the conversions.
Don't even think about using Word. It has what it calls a page layout option, and does pretty much work like one, but there's no good way to import it into a real layout app such as InDesign. You end up paying the printer for their time to rebuild your entire project in either XPress or InDesign so they can actually do something with it. -
Looking for some assurances that I haven't made a mistake switching to Mac.
Bought an intel-powered IMac 9 days ago and love everything about it's look, functionality, etc.. Only problem: I've had a bout of "Application has closed unexpectedly" occcurrances while using Safari (while at AOL.com deleting emails from aol account) and while editing pics in iPhoto. As this happened time and again, I got a sad, sinking feeling that I'm headed for the same frustrations that I've had w/ every Windows machine I've ever owned. Ugh!..I switched to Apple for the specific purpose of avoiding crashes!!! Apple support walked me through steps to fix (removed/updated Quicktime, and check a few other things..). They were very helpful, but... I absolutely detest having to do this. Other than Office:Mac, i've added nothing to this machine! I'm really stressed about this. I paid far more for this than I would have for a Windows machine simply because I had heard that Apple machines don't do this sort of thing!!
Please tell me that this is normal and expected with a new machine and not a harbinger of more complicated problems to come!! I'm hoping that once resolved, I won't much more of this.. On the other hand, if many of you feel that this issue is a bad omen, I'll take the machine back while I still can. ..What a pity though, it's truly been a joy to use so far.

Deleting AOL Mail, crashes Safari (Consolidation)
It seems the most recent Safari, and or 10.4.4, update has created this problem.
Apple & AOL are both aware of this, but, as far as I know, no correction has been implemented.
Here are some of the work arounds, that I have been able to discern from the various posts regarding this issue.
Use the FIREFOX BROWSER.
Use your AOL Mail program.
Use this utility AOL SERVICES ASSISTANT, to set up Apple Mail, to access AOL Mail.
Access the AOL Mail thru Classic AOL Webmail.
And here are links, to the various threads, discussing this issue.

I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..
thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue. -
Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.
Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
that does it with expertise.
Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
Thanks in and advance for suggestionsHi,
I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files
I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?
Hearns
Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
This question was solved.
View Solution.Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld. -
Looking for an app that will alarm on specific text messages.
Looking for an app that will alarm on specific text messages. The idea is to use the message as a pager without a monthly subscription. There is a similar app for andriod called firealert.
I could not find any app that would do this. There are different types of message apps but nothing that I could find to do what I am looking for. For a specific contact I would like the message to have a notification that will not go away until I acknowledge it. Just like you would do if it was a pager.
