Best crossplatform language?

Hi
I'm interested in making a crossplatform gui application. SO I've started to try and learn java. However I keep coming across posts on ruby and python and there seems to be much talk about these being better/easier etc.
I'd be interested in hearing what people on this list have to say on the topic. The object is to be able to develop an application that can run on both a mac and a windows machine .. a write once run anyhwhere application .
Personally I like perl but making a crossplatform application with perl seems very difficult since my development platform is Mac and Perl/Tk seems to have issues with the mac.
I'm not so much interested in a flame war here as some pros and cons.
From what I have been able to deduce java seems a reasonable avenue since it pretty much runs anywhere and most users on windows allready have javaruntime installed. But maybe I'm missing something.
Ofocurse in the best of worlds I could make a gui using Xcode tools and with the push of a button port it to windows...alas that is not to be

Sounds like you recommend C# ..
No, not quite. I recommend not trying to go off on your own (relatively speaking) with user interfaces. C# was designed for .NET and vice-versa. If you use C# with .NET, you will be using the same language/architecture as the vast majority of new MS development.
There is still quite a bit of VC++ with MFC around, but don't start on that. It just isn't worth it. For MS, C# and .NET are the future. Don't fight the future.
ofcourse that still
means one has to learn two languages at the samt time
.. both C++ and C# .. at least if one wants to live
in the mac world. Seems a shame there isnt a C++
framework that could be used for gui on windows. But
am I right in understanding that C# is "newer" than
C++ ?
Not really. It is just that "vendors" (MS and Apple) "encourage" developers to use different tools for User Interface development. You can use whatever tools you want. But if you chart your own course, you will have to solve all your own problems. The user-base for non-standard development architectures is very small.
The point I'm trying to make is that the language differences between Java, C++, Objective-C, and C# are very, very minor. Minor is even too strong a word - insignificant is better. The various UI libraries are, however, radically different. Java Swing is nothing like the Java Eclipse SDK. Both are radically different than anything else. I haven't used QT, but I suspect it is radically different from everything else too. The same is true with MFC and Carbon. Cocoa and .NET seem to be relatively close.
That's all I'm going to say on the matter. You have asked for advice and I've given my humble opinion. People are already starting to get into Java "slowness" religious wars. I don't have time for that nonesense. I call 'em as I see 'em. I do my new development in Objective-C++ on the Mac and I plan to use C# and .NET on Windows. I have spent many, many years doing cross-platform libraries in C++. I don't think it was worth it and don't plan on doing that anymore.

  • What is the best program language for mass email (PHP,  ASP, Coldfusion)?

    I want to be able to send mass email (from a SQL db) with

    I've used Coldfusion for some time (CFmail tag) and have not
    been impressed.
    It seems, at times, it has a mind of it's own, and is a

    Is it PHP, ASP, XML, Coldfusion....what?
    You would think there has to be an optimum option out

    I've used CF to send out as many as 50,000+ emails in a
    single blast and
    haven't ever had any problems with it. Particularly with CF
    Enterprise,
    CF is an extremely high-performance mail generation engine.
    Remeber
    that CF itself doesn't send the mail so you're dependent upon
    the speed
    of your mail server as a large part of the equation as well.

    Morning!We run a customer counter for sales and service that has different pricing levels.

  • Best Programming language

    Well please tell me your opinion about programming language.
    Well Java is language i like the most...
    Well i don't like Visual Basics
    Please tell me is there any language better than Java
    and where to get a lot of computer languages ..??

    Actually every language solve the computer problem sooner or later,
    can be easy to code or difficult...,different apporaches or different techniques can be applied
    Actually languages we use like c++ , java , vb, perl ,etc these are commercially advertised.
    we come to know about them by tv , computer ads, books in stores, these are available and therefore they are used.
    Well computer books say that while there was a need of a complete programming language
    at that time many languages were made like pascal , C , etc and only one could succeed
    that was C ,all bcos it was good in coding.
    I want to search for those left languages , i want them just want them....
    and have a research on them , may be a will be hidden treasure on the ballubadshah's island...

  • Which alternative Programing Language do you suggest ?

    Except from Labview, which we all like, which other programming language do you suggest, and why ?
    (as a second option, for making projects)
    We make electronic devices for industrial control. (measurment, monitoring, data logging ....)
    As i can not make up my mind, any comments are usefull.

    As has been said before, that's a little too open-ended of a question. However, we can give you some insight to answer it for yourself. I think languages such as C are what assembly language was to C a few years ago. Many higher-level languages have been written in C (including LabVIEW) but I wouldn't waste my time learning it unless you have a lot of time to learn it and need to develop algorithms that work under the hood in a dll and such. If you want to invest heavily (and I mean heavily) learning C learn C++ instead since it is the industry standard and is object-oriented. If you want to learn a higher-level, text-based, useful, easily learned and cross-platform object-oriented language with a quick development time I would go with Python. Python is not the best performing language out there, but it is powerful, compiles on-the-fly, can be used with LV and there is huge open source community supporting it. And Python is used just about everywhere. And I started learning it myself just a few months ago.

  • Maxdb - programming language interface

    Which is the best programming language to interface with MAXDB database ?
    Is there any framework that provides easy integration of MaxDB with the programming language ?

    Ok, I admit, I'm not a professional java developer but....
    STRUTS is a general web application development framework.
    VELOCITY is a language for using templates to use java objects.
    RUBY ON RAILS is also a language/framework for creating web applications.
    None of them is specifically a database integration framework.
    If you want an example for a application framework that works seamless  with MaxDB and all other major databases - go for SAP NetWeaver
    It has a lot to offer, a huge user/developer base, professional support, really is mission-critical-proof and you can download the developer version here in SDN as well.
    > I am a beginner in using maxdb database. And I want some proper guidance in using Java for interfacing with the database.
    > Agreed that the documentation has already been made available, but it is not user-friendly especially for beginners.
    Ok, the documentation may be a bit more extensive - but it already covers quite enough to get started.
    E.g. [Example: HelloMaxDB|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/46/7bb199e97150d1e10000000a155369/content.htm].
    Make sure to check the [Java Manual|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/46/7bb193e97150d1e10000000a155369/content.htm].
    > hence, requested for baby steps to build an java application.
    You've got the 'baby steps' right there.
    But there's not going to be anybody taking them for you - programming is not following screenshots ...

  • Looking for some advice regarding an image related program

    Hi fellas, Im looking for some guidance here. I want to write a program that will read an image (image will be an xray image of a square), convert the image to black and white, and measure the length and width of the square. Im looking for the best progamming langauge to make this happen. Anyone have any recommendations? I know c++ has a good imaging library that would be helpful so im looking into that at the moment. And Im pretty sure I can do this with matlab, but Im writing this program for a doctor so I need it to be portable. Thanks in advance for all the help
    Cliffnotes:
    Whats the best programming language to:
    -read an image (of a square)
    -convert image to black and white
    -measure length/width of square
    -GUI would be good but not necessary
    -easy to write

    HashBox wrote:You might want to look in to DPI and what The GIMP does in terms of that, also I found this which might be of use as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixels_per_inch
    Thanks HashBox, I think Im off to a good start on this. First, I wrote the program (majority of it) using matlab, and now Im trying to convert it to C++. So far I have:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include "CImg.h"
    using namespace cimg_library;
    //main program
    int main()
    CImg<double> img("xray.jpg");
    //converts the image to black and white
    img.RGBtoYCbCr().channel(0).resize(-100,-100,1,3).RGBtoLUT(CImg<>(2,1,1,3).fill(0.0f,255.0f),false);
    //displays image
    CImgDisplay display(img,"Black and White");
    while (!display.is_closed)
    display.wait();
    return 0;
    So right now, I have the black and white xray image. How do I find out the size of the image using c++? Is there a function for that or do I have to write code to find it manually?
    Heres the original matlab code I wrote that Im trying to write my c++ code after:
    %read the image
    [filename,pathname] = uigetfile('*.*', 'Select an image');
    %assign image to film
    film=imread(filename);
    %threshold the image
    level = graythresh(film);
    %convert image to black&white using the thresholded value
    BW = im2bw(film, level);
    %display image
    imshow(BW);
    SIZE=size(BW);
    counter=zeros(1, SIZE(1));
    for x=1:SIZE(1)
    for y=1:SIZE(2)
    if (BW(x,y)==1)
    counter(1,x)=counter(1,x)+1;
    end
    end
    end
    SUM=0;
    lines=0;
    for counterarray=1:SIZE(1)
    if counter(1,counterarray)>0
    lines=lines+1;
    SUM=counter(1,counterarray)+SUM;

  • Deprecation guessing game

    Good day,
    As per the title of this forum "New to Java Technology", I'm expecting to find information for the new comers
    Regardless how powerfull Java is/could be, finding clear and precise information is a real nightmare!
    I have an applet which attempts to set the cursor of a frame via :
    wrkFrame.setCursor(3);
    Unsurprisingly, "setCursor(int) in java.awt.Frame has been deprecated".
    In the deprecated listing, a mention says :
    java.awt.Frame.setCursor(int)
    As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Component.setCursor(Cursor).
    What would be the syntax then ?
    Where can I find a sample of that "Component.setCursor(Cursor)" non-sense.
    With all those deprecated things, and a very poor or too well hidden information for the the newbie, this situation is aggravating.
    I have a bunch of that crap to sort out and searching this site for meaningful information, at least for the newcomers like me, is simply pathetic.
    Regards.
    Note : I'm actually compiling with JDK v1.3.

    Me again,
    I'm sorry, but when I followed the links of the jungle docs, I reached a point where the word "Component" was in small italics, which lead me to believe that I had to define a component first, therefore thinking that I wasn't dealing with a class, subclass, superclass as such.
    Since the initial syntax threw out a warning, I was under the impression that a component needed to be created in relation to the frame, which was something I didn't have the fuggiest idea on how to do.
    By looking at some of the files part of the JDK 1.3, I found something like this :
    setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    I tried it, and it worked. However, I was darn suspicious about the validity of it, since it wasn't referencing the frame in any way, shape or form.
    The "setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));" syntax worked too, but again, no reference to the frame in that statement, nor to any component thing of any kind.
    Prefixing the above statements with "wrkFrame." lead me to the same results, however with a hat full of question marks!
    How come it worked with and without referencing the frame ?
    What's the logic behind this ?
    To "play safer", I stood with the prefixed statement, leading me to a statement like this one :
    wrkFrame.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    This is working as expected.
    "Java is one of the best documented languages around."
    Perhaps, however this is a journey just to find what you need. The situation above is a good example. There was no link to the "Component.setCursor(Cursor)" thing, so how a newbie like me can figure out how to get to the information if there isn't even a search feature for many megabytes of docs ?
    "Do you really need to see an example for anything?"
    Ideally yes. A good example for that is the post of "twupack". He/She has a simple example that I could start to play with, although I didn't see the component relation, but seeing the second statement, I figured that the component was in fact the frame, which in turn arose another question mark, since you mentioned that Component was a superclass or something like that.
    Keep in mind that the relations between classes, subclasses, superclasses are simply a bunch of words for beginners like me. I need to relate to something more "visible" to have a better understanding. Throwing a load of Java technical words to someone starting in the field is simply leading to more confusion than help.
    "Have you considered using google to find code samples?"
    Give me a break. If in almost 100MB worth of documentation I can't find a lazy example, someone is missing the boat somewhere! Also, Google, like many search engines, are simply aggravating with their stupid popups here and there. I don't need those popups on top of irritations caused when trying to learn the darn Java. Also, it's now because I'm working on Java that I absolutely need to be online, or is it a must ?
    On top of that, I created a servlet to be used with IIS 5. When compiled with JDK v1.3, everything works like a charm. When compiling with JDK v1.4, this is a no go. How would you find the cause of that situation on Google ? I posted a question about it here, and still unanswered.
    The main thing here is to get more fluent and have a better understanding of what the documentation is presenting. If someone can't interpret it properly, it is simply useless. Having an example, as simple as possible to cover the topic, would be simply priceless and alleviate a lot of frustrations when trying to figure out what is going on.
    "Component is a superclass of Frame"
    Thanks for telling me, however with the level of knowledge I have in Java, I wasn't able to make that conclusion.
    "So it's a method available to your Frame object."
    Perhaps, however when looking at the syntax of the sample provided by the other fellow, I wasn't able to make that link.
    "Look at Component's API..."
    Only God knows how much time I spent at trying to find things in that documentation. I can hardly believe there isn't a search for that amount of information, this is simply pathetic!
    Anyhow, 1 deprecated API call down, 1 zillion to go. Feel like re-inventing the wheel.
    Bye for now.

  • Happy birthday with the SX270

    Hello employees from Canon,
    hello Users,
    first sorry for my bad english. But I'm from Germany and it's not my best foreign language.
    Our son Pascal, today is his 14th birthday, wish a new camera for his hobby. We're not rich, so our budget is not open-end. In Germany the camera costs about 160 EUR (round about 220 USD) Our sons were reading tests and reviews, told us to buy this camera. He thougt it'll be too expensive, so today was a verry happy day, when he opened the present.
    Now we're testing the camera. Very good. But then Canon crashed this day. We select the video mode. After 3:30 minutes the camera shut down. Thomas, our older son, told us, that for this bug there is a firmewareupdate and in the magazine they told, that this will fix the bug. So I checked the Firmware: It is the latest!
    So we'll send the camera back to the dealer. Now our son is very sad about this at his birthday.
    How long is this camera sold and why don't you fix this problem? We paid for that, so you have to produce functional products. Why are you cheating your consumer?
    I look forward to hearing from you, Canon.
    Yours faithfully,
    Jan

    @Stephen,
    Shame on you for posting a CYB response on the forum. It does not help Canon's image and further reinforces the perception that Canon wishes to wash their hands off this whole issue and not accept any responsibility for the problem.

  • I was confused

    Hi to all the java programmer here! You guys are great!
    Im a college student of **I College, I start programming with java on 2003 when I take my computer programming 3.
    At first I hate java coz it takes a lot of code to perform a specific tasks compared to rad vb6 and vb.net.
    Eventually I started to loved programming with java bcoz of its capabilities that other programming languages don't have, backward compatibility, cross-platform, etc...
    Right now I really love programming with Java and Im eager and hope someday I'll be a great java programmer like you guys!
    Im developing an enrollment system /* and I know its a simple system to you guys */ using java as my thesis project.
    My classmates and programming instructors ask me why I used java, why not vb6 or .net?
    And I answer them "java is the best programming languages for me and I want to write my code only once... etc"and then they ask me again java is the best? how? is there any OS written in java? I returned to them their question "is there any OS written in vb6 or .net? hehe...".
    They told me Im the first one in **I college that used java to programmed a thesis project /* they all used vb6 and .net */ and ask me to switch to vb6 or .net. I was confused. I dunno why they want me to switch, but no matter what, as I said I'm eager to be a great java programmer like you guys, I wont switch. I've been programming with java almost 2yrs, no turning back now.
    * this is not really a question, I just post this message coz I feel like Im the only
    * person in **I college that loves java programming.
    * Im sorry, Im having difficulties with my english. I guess english dont like me...
    * hehe...
    */Thanks!!! God bless. More power to you guys!

    Right now I really love programming with Java andIm eager and hope
    someday I'll be a great java programmer like youguys!
    God that's cute. It's sad to think that in ten years
    your enthusiasm will be all dried up and you'll be an
    embittered code monkey like the rest of us.so, w/c lang do u prefer?
    Thanks.

    Apparently, you cannot download a podcast larger than 10MB over 3G/Edge; however, you can still listen to it by clicking on the title in iTunes on the iPhone. 3G is having issues in my area right now so I'm using Edge for the next couple of days; I tested it this morning and I can listen to all the podcasts just fine as it is streaming them instead of downloading them. Nice, eh? Hopefully they don't change this...I like being able to stream them instead of downloading them.

    Well, if you want Java - then Adobe only has server-side options for you. We don't offer desktop Java APIs.  Our server-side options are part of the Adobe LiveCycle family of products.
    For client-side, we have the Adobe Acrobat SDK (which also requires Adobe Acrobat to be installed) or the PDFLibrary SDK (for stand-alone applications).  Both are C/C++ based.

    Hi Arturo,
    The file name which you had specified below should be changed.
    ExtTrail ./dirdat/ra
    RmtTrail ./dirdat/pa
    add extract replica1, Tranlog, Begin now
    add exttrail ./dirdat/ra, extract replica1, megabytes 100
    add extract prep1, exttrailsource ./dirdat/ra
    add rmttrail ./dirdat/pa, extract prep1, megabytes 100
    The path you have mentioned is wrong. Since you are using windows, it should be mentioned as .
    EXTTRAIL dirdat\ra
    RMTTRAIL dirdat\pa
    add exttrail dirdat\ra, extract replica1, megabytes 100
    add extract prep1, exttrailsource dirdat\ra
    add rmttrail .dirdat\pa, extract prep1, megabytes 100
    Change the path also in the Manager parameter file.
    purgeoldextracts ./dirdat/*, usecheckpoints
    purgeoldextracts dirdat\*, usecheckpoints
    Example from Oracle Doc.,
    Regards,
    Veera

  • MP3 player code help.. slight tweaks

    http://www.clairmonthumphrey.com/Site/
    The flash mp3 player I've done for this site is giving me a
    few problems...
    The code is attached but this is what happens though...
    ..In this line...
    sa.push(nodes.attributes.url);
    when it stays like that the song plays fine but the trackInfo
    doesn't come up but when I replace it with this code.. the song
    doesn't play but the trackInfo comes up..
    sa.push(new Song(nodes.attributes.url,
    nodes.attributes.track));
    This is what the songs.xml file looks like...
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <songs>
    <song url="AmazingGraceMedley.mp3" track="Amazing Grace
    Medley" />
    <song url="MidnightCry.mp3" track="Midnight Cry" />
    <song url="YouareSoWonderfulRemix.mp3" track="You Are So
    Wonderful" />
    <song url="TrustIntheLordFirstVersion.mp3" track="Trust In
    the Lord" />
    </songs>
    What am I doing wrong...
    A few other quirks need straightening out...
    The volume bar only increases the volume the first time..
    after subsequent tries it neither increases nor decreases...
    The playPause_mc button pauses but doesn't play again when
    pressed...
    Everything else is under control.. Can anyone help?
    See below the action script....

    Hi
    I too am interested in writing a Mp3 player but am unsure what is the best programming language to write it in. Java is my prefered language, but it seems that it will not be posssible as their are no mp3 libraries that support mp3 file playing in the current version of java.
    I could use javazoom support classes but I prefer to write the programme myself.
    So when will Sun re-release java, so it can play mp3 files?
    Or what other language would be apporiate for a mp3 player?
    Thanks
    Ron

  • Enthusiasts 2

    Some of us have been missing the old "Enthusiasts" list. Thanks to Molly et al., we now have better infos (even if sorting is sometimes ackward, with Aaron after Enrique for instance ) and we also know that NI is preparing a new list with enhanced functionnalities. But for those (like me) that can’t wait anymore, here is a provisionnal synthetic document.
    I apologize for any mistake or omission. If you feel that something should be modified, just do it and post the document again.
    There is an annoying bias since some people have been recorded with more than one identity. For instance, Jean-Pierre Drolet was registered 3 times and should score 93 more contributions. RolfK, Kyle V and Bill B appear twice in the new NI “Active members” list. The most terrible thing is that this situation will induce some unbearable uncertainty about the moment when Dennis will cross the “4000 answers” absolute barrier... (before the end of the month), since he also has been registered 3 times, and should score + 9...
    Some additionnal comments about the 3 boxes rating (discussed here http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=130&message.id=275) :
    The first metric is “ratings”. The three levels are unnamed, Trusted, and Proven.
    To be Proven, you only need to have an average rating over 4.5. Means that you can become “proven” just by asking an interesting question, whatever your contribution to the forum. On another hand, Filipe, Jeremy, and some others, with nearly 1000 answers and over 150 ratings on average, are only “trusted” members, and do not even appear on NI list ! The idea that Ben, with a score of “only” 4.5, might turn “unproven” is quite seductive... just give him a few more 4 stars...
    The second metric is “posts”. The three levels are unnamed, Active and Enthusiastic.
    Dennis and Ben are the only two official Enthusiasts. Apparently, 2000 contributions are required to enter the Sanctuary. Even Greg the Great could not reach the beatification level. Ben took about 4 years to post that much answers. Seems that Ray second mug is on the upper shelf, quite out of his reach...
    The third metric is “logins”. The three levels are Member, Regular and Veteran. Don’t know yet if it’s a matter of login number, or connection time, or number of opened pages... Molly, Philip C., Matt F, Robert M and JRA, all from NI, have reached this stage.
    Some suggestions : apply a PID strategy to the rating operation :
    1/ the “ratings” metric should be a function not only of the average rating, but also of the rating number.
    2/ the “posts” metric should be also a function of (answer number)/time;
    3/ the “logins” metric should take into account not only the login number, but also the activity. (BTW, the page read parameter is useless since it depends on the number of posts that are displayed on each page).
    Thanks to all of you. Without your continuous contribution, Labview would not be the best programming language, whatever the skills of NI engineers !
    Have fun and keep wiring !
