Best way to build own website? mac specific...

Hi,
I want to build a website on my mac - I have seen a couple of websites where I can pay $7 per month and that includes web hosting software, the domain, email, etc. Or I have seen a couple of Mac softwares that seem advanced but they don't seem to come with the website.
How do I do this?
I signed up at work for a free site on Microsoft Office Live. It was very user friendly and I had a site up in minutes. Anything similiar for Mac that also has the advanced design and graphic capabilities?
Also, can anyone recommend a good place to take a one time web design course in Long Beach, CA? Or on a web site?
Thanks!!

Hi Danielle,
A great way to learn about Macs and creating web sites is to attend a Mac User Group meeting. I Googled for a group in your area:
http://mac.meetup.com/cities/us/ca/long_beach/
There are probably more groups in your area, just go to the Apple site and do a search. You can meet other Mac users, get discounts on software and learn a lot!
An option for creating a site my advice would be a .mac account. Here is info on that: http://www.apple.com/dotmac/ Purchase iLife software, approximately $79.00 for either PPC or Intel based, here's info on that: http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/
iWeb is very cool and easy to use. You can create sites, blogs, and you can do this in minutes!
Make sure and read the system requirements for iLife 08:

Hope this gets you going!

Best way to build a website with hundreds of pages

What is the best way to build a website with hundreds of pages that include businesses in every city of the U.S. I will be building it in Dreamweaver CS4 and pulling the data from an MS Excel spreadsheet.
I started building it by building the first page and then saving a new page with new data and so on.
There must be a way to pull from the Excel doc without copying and pasting each page of data, and there must be a way to build this site smaller and easier to make changes when needed.
Thanks

You already have other people addressing the DB issues - so I will bring up the other... You are just saving a copy as a new page and then copy and pasting the changed content into it?
What you want to do is take the first page, once you have your design done - and save it as a template (file - save as - Dreamweaver Template).
Then you want to select the areas (most likely the divs you have content in) that will have content changed, and select the div or p or whatever element... and go to Insert - Template Objects - Editible Region.
Make sure you don't made editable the areas that are the primary design - such as a logo element, a header image, the navigation etc. If you want to change those - you would do so by making the change on the template, and then it will automatically update all pages made based on that template.
Once you are done setting up the templates - go to your new page and choose Modify - Templates - Apply Template To Page
Select the template you just created (note it will be placed inside of a new folder titled "templates" automatically by Dreamweaver).
Now, any of the areas you selected to add different content into will be selectable, and you can copy/paste or however you are doing so.
Good luck

What's best way to build a website on OS Lion

I have a Mac with OS Lion. I want to build and launch a business website using iWeb. Is that still possible and a good idea?
Did the switch to iCloud make iWeb unusable or inappropriate?
What would be a good alternative to website building and web hosting for a intermediate user?
I already have a domain name.
Thanks.
Jim

iWeb can still be used to design web sites here are a couple of examples of sites I have done with iWeb:

iCloud does not support the hosting of web sites. So a 3rd party web host is needed in order to get your web site up and going on the Internet. I personally use IX Web Hosting (for a little over 4 years) one of the nice things about them is you can host multiple sites on 1 hosting account.

I also have a few how-to videos:

Best way for building an application main frame

I'm about to program a desktop application.
The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
My question is which is the best way for building it.
Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
P.S.
The application makes extensive use of RMI.
What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

Hi,
I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

Best way to build an web-based voice record player

Could anyone please guide me on what technology to use to
build a online voice recorded that would record a users voice using
a flash player from a website and then the voice is saved on the
server side. What would be the best way to build something like
that.
Thanks,

Use Flash or Flex for the client side, and Flash Media
Interactive Server on the server side.

What is the best way to create a website on a imac g5 (2005)

After reading a variety of reviews of Life 08 I want to know
what the best way to create a website. Should I buy ilife 08
or do something else? There is no iweb on my g5.

If you are a novice then iweb is a good place to start. It will allow you to create a site quickly with the minimum amount of work. You can then learn more as you go along if you want to. To publish you will need web space somewhere. Thats how I started and now I am studying web design with the Open University and am learning xhtml and CSS, then progressing to Java etc. Good luck and have fun - it is quite addictive once you start.

What's the best way to completely wipe my Mac?

I'm selling my 17" iMac G5 as I've just replaced it with a shiny new 24" Intel iMac [droool!]. Anyway, I want to know what software or what's the best way to wipe/clear my Mac and start from scratch so the person buying it doesn't have all my rubbish on there - plus can't retrieve any of my private files.
What have you guys done in the past in situations like this? I know you can do a clean install off the original installations CD's but will this be enough to get ride of all preferene files and folders etc etc?

Hi
The easiest way is to put a new installation of your OS onto the Mac.
Insert your Install disk 1 into to the drive and then Restart, and hold down the C key to take you to the installation windows.
Select your language, the start up Volume and choose Erase and Install.
At the point your registration process starts, abandon the registration, quit and eject the disk and switch of the computer.
This will allow the new user a freshly installed system, whereby they can complete the registration process themselves. Make sure you hand on the disks.
If you want to be extra thorough, you can, booted from your Install disk use Disk Utility to Zero All Data, before doing the Erase and Install described above, and if you want to be paranoid thorough, you can choose to overwrite the disk with several passes before doing the installation described first. Note this latter process can take from several hours to several days depending on the selection and the size of your internal hard drive.

What is the best way to 'clean up" a Mac that has been going for about 2 years. I reset safari frequently but need to be sure stuff I don't want is gone.

I'd gather by your "reset Safari" and "clean up" you mean by sites you rather not have your mom see.

What is the best way to build an app?

what is the best way to build an app?

I've never done it, but sure, all sorts of companies will contract to code up an application for you - big companies like Honeywell and General Dynamics to Joe Programmer free-lancing out of his house will contract for computer coding projects. Without knowing details of the app to be developed I have no idea what it would cost or how long it would take. Some of the free-lance programmers I personally know bill out at over (some, well over) $100/hour.
If you really think your idea is great, then be sure to approach discussing it with a developer as a business transaction. Almost every company will have an unsolicted ideas policy in place (Apple explicitly does under their legal information page) and any unsolicited ideas sent in become the intellectual property of the company (by sending the idea unsolicited, you have legally "given" it to them).
P.S. as to how long to learn how to program well? Some people spend an entire college degree's worth of time and effort to master that.

What is the best way to build a career path where I can evolve into an SAP role instead of one that is Customer Service based?

In October 2011, my previous employer converted to SAP, as the rest of the worldwide entities were already using SAP. At that time, I was an Order Coordinator, where my job role was to process all of the Inside/Outside Sales Representatives orders for the US. Because of my keen attention to detail, the speed in which I learn new roles and general IT knowledge, I was asked to be the SAP SuperUser for our Financial Operations team. I quickly began to learn the roles of Order-to-Cash, Customer Master Data, Pricing Conditions, Contracts, some Material Master Data, and even Customer/Material Pricing Audits. I also performed manual customer billing in SAP until the automatic modules were implemented. Knowledge of these roles created a need for me to become a trainer to my team, where the SAP Consultants left off. After only working in SAP for the few months after the conversion started, I evolved out of an Order Coordinator rights of access and was given a not-so-typical role as an "analyst". I had more than a firefighter role in SAP, as my normal log in credentials gave me full rights to all of these modules and even special reporting. Our parent global company realized necessity for my role and followed proper protocol to authorize the access changes to still meet the SOx regulations. Prior to using SAP, I never thought I'd fall in love with it and enjoy my job so much, but it happened! Despite my previous employer's less than perfect data that was copied into SAP, we managed to have an efficient ongoing process to clean it all up. I became more of a liaison between Financial Operations and our IT Dept/SAP Consultants. I "translated" the technical steps that IT/SAP Consultants were trying to teach everyone and trained my Financial Operations team in a way they would understand. I truly enjoyed my job, even at our most difficult moments.
However, after all of the fun I was having while working in SAP and truly gaining a ton of useful experience and knowledge, "life" happened and I had an opportunity to move from Atlanta, GA to southern California. I've searched for months to find a new career here in California with a company that I could continue my learning experiences and become more proficient in SAP, but I'm a little lost. My search to find jobs have only given me possibilities in Customer Service positions or ones that are SAP sales/programming based. I'm floating in limbo and looking for help from the SAP community on where I can go from here to get back into a career path with SAP.
I'm 28 years old and I'm currently finishing my Associate degree in Business Administration. I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), certified with the Help-Desk Institute as a Support Center Analyst, and also completed my previous employer's Quality Advocate Certification which focused on Six Sigma and Lean concepts. Prior to leaving the company, I was being considered for a company sponsored training in the Six Sigma Green or Black Belt program. I've recently started working a contract position as a Customer Service Rep, processing orders, but the company will be completing an SAP conversion in May 2013; so only a few months away. The problem I have in this position is that I feel frustrated in learning their current software when their entire team seems to have their own personal ways of doing their job. I prefer to have structure and perform job duties the right way, then building on that to make the job more streamlined. I spoke with my recruiter but he feels I may be a bit premature on feelings about working in this contract position. I may be just feeling a little impatient in having to wait another 3 months to see if the company may even hire me on permanently and what role I would have with SAP, beyond Customer Service Rep. I'm hoping to get some direction from the SAP community on where I might focus my attention in learning SAP. My hope is to find a position working with SAP like the one I enjoyed so much back in GA. I'm even considering options to learn the programming side. I think SAP is a great software package once people understand how it's designed, or can be designed, to work.
Please help!!
I'd be happy to provide my resume to anyone willing to review it and give me some pointers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I appreciate the length and detail of your post. I struggle answering questions from folks who give too little info. It's refreshing to have too much info for a change.
I'll summarize your post and give suggestions:
You have very strong end user experience, almost bordering on support level SD knowledge. You have experience with the way that at least one company implemented SAP SD but don't have many years of experience with different approaches, so you can't pitch yourself as someone who's "been-there, done-that" outside of the SD world and you can't bill yourself as having SD functional knowledge to the extend that you could be a consultant for SAP SD. (See FAQ: Different Career Paths in SAP for descriptions of different traditional SAP career paths.)
You've moved to Southern California, which is chock full of companies using SAP, by the way, and you're having a hard time finding the right job. Your education is probably going to be problematic at this point. Most SAP related jobs require a Bachelor's Degree at a minimum. Definitely keep on going with your degree. I don't know where you're doing your associate's degree, but you might want to look in to Cal State Fullerton, which has an *excellent* SAP focused business degree program. (http://business.fullerton.edu/).
You've found work at a company but had to start over at a lower level of responsibility. Since the job you just landed will be transitioning to SAP in 3 months, you have an opportunity to repeat your previous rise by volunteering to be a super-user again. Alternatively, you could talk to the group within your company and express your desire to help out supporting the system from the back end. Traditionally, companies lose a few folks immediately following an implementation, so there's a good chance that if you make your desires and skills known, that you'll be able to move onto the support team once a position opens up.
All of the above assumes that you want to continue on the functional side of SD. You didn't mention any aptitude or preference for programming. It is certainly easier to get programming jobs than functional jobs (see How did you get your start in SAP?), but it seems like you really enjoyed the functional side of SAP. I do *not* recommend learning an SAP skill for which you have no desire simply to get a job, hoping that you can switch later. Use the skills you have to get the job you really want, doing something that really excites you. It's far to easy to fall into a job simply because it's there and get trapped and burned out.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

What is the best way to build a news system?

Hi everyone,
I am building a website using webcenter and I need to do a section called "News". The Editor user is going to put on this section some news about the company.
The doubt is: What is the best way to do is? There is a way to integrate the webcenter with Content Server and store the news as a content on it? Or the best thing to do is treat each news as a page (by using the task flow - Page create new)?
Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I'm not shure if that is the best way, but we're using the Page Service Task Flow and scope.
If you want to use Oracle Content Server(ucm) probably your user must create a doc(news) and upload it by using something like the Library Task Flow.

What is the best way to clean up your mac and make it faster and run to an optimum level?

Hi Everyone, Hope all is well
Iv been running my mac pro for a long time now, its a Mac pro, 2x 2.26 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon. 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Ram
Over time now it has become slower, at the moment its still running fine but im sure over time it has probabally collected unwanted data etc. i just dont want it to become a problem as its only going to be used more and more... i now notice that some of the regular programs which i open do take a little while longer to open and i sometimes see that little round Mac loading the sign (the round multicolor wheel).., is there a way to clean the mac up? so that it can run more smoothly and just a better over all feel.,,, the machine is still running beautifully but its time i give it more care and revive it a little more..
What are the best ways to do this, i dont trust any of these non apple based products which claim they can clean ur Mac etc.
Any solutaion and advice that u guys can give would be great and i would be very thankful
Thanks in advance

For immediate speed improvements, upgrade to a Solid State Drive and upgrade your conventional hard drives to new ones, because the newer ones are faster at reading and writing than the ones from 5 years ago.
By Re-installing your OS onto a solid state drive, the system will boot much faster, and your programs will launch much faster.
I use a small SSD (only 60GB) which contains only OS X and all my apps. All of my personal files are on the large mechanical hard drive. If you still use the drive that shipped with the Mac, then it might be a good idea to replace it.
Depending on what kind of work you do, then additional RAM will help. Swapping CPUs should only be done if you are really in need of the improvements they would bring.
You appear to have the 2009 dual-CPU Mac Pro, which is the most challenging model to swap CPUs into.

What is the best way to start SAPGUI in a specific transaction

Hello,
What I'm trying to do is to run a Java program that will start SAPGUI (in windows format, not HTML) and present the user with a specific transaction with some data already inserted.
I already managed to start the SAPGUI and I know how to fill in data using the SapJCo but my question is: what is the best way to navigate to a specific transaction? I can activate an RFC of BAPI_CALL_TRANSACTION but it seems like a big overhead. so, can any of you tell me what is the best way activate a specific transaction in SAPGUI using JCo?
Thanks,
Uri Lifshitz.

Uri
JCO are mostly used to executed a RFM on the Destination.
I don't think we could call a Transaction using JCO.
Thanks

Best way to set up a Mac laptop for multiple users with AD logins

I am setting up a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 that will be used as a "loaner" notebook for meetings, etc. The computer will be used internally at our company, so users will be logged into our network. Active Directory is set up on this computer to allow all domain users to log in using their own user name and password; this approach helps meet our company's security standards (we want to avoid using one common login or account for all users).
While this approach seems to fit our needs, it causes problems when it comes to running applications. For instance, each new user is prompted to enter first-time usage information when launching an application (forcing them to contemplate registration information, various settings, etc.). I've given "everyone" read-write privileges to the HD > Library and the Applications folder, but this does not solve anything and may not be a good approach anyway.
I would welcome any advice on the best way to set up this computer for multiple users logging in via Active Directory. Thanks!

Where are you installing the third party applications? It sounds like they are being installed in the 'User 1' account, rather than the /Applications folder (admin or not, one user normally can not see into another user's folders). Repairing permissions only works for applications that have a file in /Library/Receipts, not on folders in general, so you would need to check the permissions for the folders in question.
