dont spent money for any computer books!!! particularly for java. costly, level, all it has!!
many free e-books are available.
have one such collection learn, put it in system. do modification, enhancements, fix bugs, etc master java.
one very basic to advanced is java tutorial from sun site itself. free to download. use java tutorial to learn, javadoc for reference while doing programming in system.
tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial.
doc:http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/
no book can cover all the domains like fundamentals, database, networking,gui, datastructures, etc fully. highly impossible. u need to get specially for every thing. but this tutorial is complete, free, simple,
all the bestSeconded. Save the trees! :)

Looking for Aperture Book Recomendations for partial Noob

Looking at Amazon there are 3 books on the app. Each one brings something to the table. I have experience with Photoshop Elements and Iphoto. I do not think I am interested in the tutorial lessons available through "Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 3." Any suggestions are appreciated. I have been looking at the online help and the various videos available on Apple and YT and find those helpful.
Thanks

If you are not into the APTS tutorial type book, then I would probably recommend using the Portable Genius book combined with both the User Manual and Apple's online tutorials.
The Portable Genius is a good desktop reference book with quick to the point outlines of what a specific feature does and how to use it on a basic level (with some tips thrown in). IMO, an inexpensive and efficient way to go.

Dymamic site - book recomendations

Hi,
Can anyone recommend any books for learning PHP for beginners? I have HTML experience, but have not done dynamic sites before. I want something that will take me from setting PHP onto MDW8 through to setting up databases and working them through PHP. There are so many on the market, it's difficult to decide on something that will be at the right level and of use throughtout building the site.
Any suggestions appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

check out David Powers books, excellent collection to get you started on php and mysql

Book recomendations for CORBA using Java?

I need to use CORBA communications between 3 different tools. Each tool should be written in Java. Each tool reside on different servers. Here is the communication flow of the tools:
Tool A will pass data to and receive data from Tool B
Tool B will pass data to and receive data from Tool A
Tool B will pass data to and receive data from Tool C
Tool C will pass data to and receive data from Tool B
I did a search on "Java Corba" at some online book stores and there a many choices. Could someone recommend a book title that would work well here? Thanks.....

Pure CORBA by Fintan Bolton (ISBN: 0-672-31812-1) is an outstanding reference, albeit very "heavy" as someone else said about another book previously in this thread. The book always gives C++ and Java examples; never one without the other (except for a chapter on memory management, but the topic is applicable only to C++). It can be difficult to use as a tutorial as it is very much written as a reference though.
I don't have any recommendations for CORBA instruction-oriented books.

Instrument I/O Assistant blank

I have been having problems getting a code to work. So, I purchased LabVIEW for Everyone (a book) to see if I could figure out how to get the code to run right. (here is a link to that thread )
I just redownloaded and installed NI-Visa. The book says to use Instrument I/O Assistant to configure a device (PmodsGPS in my case). When I insert the assistant, I get the a gray blank screen. (see below) what does this mean? Why do I not see any options to configure?

Thanks Dennis.
I believe the book recomends it to avoid having to use the write functions and PMTK code. It basically says to use it to make life simpler. This is a beginners book and it really doesn't get into Visa functions very much. I was hoping it would dive a little futher into them.
I still don't know why you had me close one string and then open another config file only have insert another write function. I know I'm lost, but I was hoping this might shed some light on the whole situation...

Building fault tolerance into Oracle Reports

I have a report that I am working on in Developer 2000 that loads images from a filepath stored within my database. This works great but the report bombs out if the image does not actually exist or the filepath is wrong.
While the obvious solution is to make sure the files are present, it would be nice to trap an error message for this situation as it occured and to simply carry on as if nothing had happened.
Is this a possibility ?? ... I'm new to this and have a learned a lot quickly, if it where not for time constraints I'd be picking through the weak Oracle supplied documentation, with that in mind a good book recomendation would be wonderful

This seems to work for text files. It should work for bitmaps as well:
1) create a function and set it to char, read from file
2) add the code
function cf_rowFormula return Char is
in_file TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
file_nm varchar2(30) := 'c:\myfile.txt';
begin
in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN(file_nm, 'r');
text_io.fclose (in_file);
return file_nm;
exception
when others then
text_io.fclose (in_file);
return 'c:\empty.txt';
end;
If the program doesn't find myfile, it will load empty. I'm not positive but it has to load something for it not to get an error. Hope this helps.

Reason - multiple stereo rewire to logic song templates anyone?

Hi,
I'm a recent convert to (intel) iMac/Logic Pro/Reason from PC/Cubase/Reason.
After a whole weekend of head scratching, manual reading & forum browsing I've finally managed to set up a working environment with reason 3.05 rewired to logic - I have setup the main stereo L&R & Multiple mono channels from reason as well as a number of internal rewire objects to act as instruments.
I've read that its possible to go further & actually create rewired 'stereo' channels, which only need 1 effect added per pair. As far as i can understand this is done by creating two mono channels, panned hard L&R then linking to aux object/buss object then only making the aux (or buss?)object available in the arrange/track mixer page?
Only thing is.. i can't get these stereo channels to work - As i mentioned, I'm new to MAC & logic (although have studied manual in depth) so it may be a rudimentary error in my environment set up or my understanding of aux/buss object behaviour, but i need to get working with reason asap so wondered if anyone has done this already & could either post a simple walkthrough or maybe email a song template so i could copy & paste the stereo rewire layer?
I've already found a page online for some one (http://www.stormchild.net/music/reasonwithlogic.html ) who had done this but with Logic 6 but doesn't seem to work with my intelmac & logic 7.2.1 (& in fact when i loaded his autoload it 'removed' my focusrite saffire from available interfaces & i had to unplug it & restart the mac to get it back)
Any help would be much appreciated

Intel iMac 20' Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi,
Apostol, I do a ton of midi programming & although I'm a massive reason fan the sequencer doesnt do it for me - I've used reason for sounds & beats very happily rewired to cubases sequencer (on PC) for years now.
Got Guitar, I'm impressed (if a little scared!) at your local knowledge of my little hometown, & thanks for the book recomendation & offer of your templates. The rewire templates in logic (on 7.2.1 at least) don't deliver the goods for reason, at least with my intel iMac.
I've since sucessfully set up an environment with a number of mono chammels (& L&R rewire on masterL&R) which works well in that it shows the reason device name in the channel menu on arrange page but it's just creating these 'stereo' tracks that i'm stuck on.
I think I have made some progress late last night as follows.... Obviously reason (with the exception of hardwire interface 1&2 (L&R)outputs isn't designed to output in stereo but so far I've created a number of 'stereo tracks' (2 x audio objects panned L&R), assigned their channels to reason hardware interface outputs 33-34, 35-36 etc etc, & I've then connected each of these 'panned pairs' in the environment to a stereo aux object by assigning the in/out on their audio objects to a buss number then assigning this buss to the relevant aux (so i only have to use one effect/fader per pair).
This setup works great in that i just need, in reason, to assign an instruments output directly to the suitable hardware interface outputs (ie 33-34) & it plays through this new stereo pair.
All i need to do now is to 'clean up' this set up so i can only see these single stereo aux's in my & track mixer (& arrange page if possible?) so there aren't 3 x tracks showing as playing per instrument? - I feel like i'm nearly there, anyone able to help with this last chapter in the saga????

Javac trouble

I have searched the forums and have found others with my problem but the solutions are not helping me with my problem. I am new to Java and am trying to use "Learning Java 3rd Edition" by Patrick Niemeyer & Jonathan Knudsen. The book recomends we learn to write Java using the command line and I agree with that but I am not able to do anything in my shell window because when I start my shell and type javac HelloJava.java I get a message stating
'JAVAC' is not recognizable as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I have installed and uninstalled JDK 5.0 many times with the same result. I have searched my disk for any javac files and I have found 5
JAVAC.EXE-042C5E09.pf path = C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch
JAVAC.EXE-1D15F5CB.pf path = C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch
javac path = C:\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin
javac path = C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\JVM\bin
javac path = bin
When I start my shell I have to cd\ to change directories because it defaults to C:\DOCUME~1\TIMSHO~1> I don't know if that is any part of my problem but I can't find any folders with DOCUME~1\TIMSHO~1 as the name. I just cd\ to the C:\> prompt.
I have installed the JDK to my C drive and not to my program files but I have also tried installing to Program files as the default installation recomends. Neither way has had any different results.
I have seen some instructions on this forum for others with this issue that talk about setting javac's path in the control panel but I don't know what file I am trying to set the path for.
I am sorry for sounding so helpless but I have been trying to get this working for a few days now and am becoming frustraited. I do not want to use Eclipse or NetBeans for the exercises in the book. I would like to learn the hard way and then work with the different IDEs.
I have the JDK and the JRE both installed but the JRE is in my program files and JDK in my C root. I have tried to uninstall the JRE as other posts have recomended and the book's trouble shooting has mentioned but that is not doing anything for me either.
Can someone please help me through this so I can start learning Java?

.> It
has nothing to do with javac.exe being missing or
misnamed.
javac: file not found: HelloJava.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options>
I have read this but aparently what it seems to say
to me is not what it really is intending to express.It's expressing exactly what it means to. You're just not understanding it.
Looking at that error message I see it saying javac
is not found, I don't agree. It would not have displayed the "usage" message if it couldn't find javac.exe. That's what is printing the usage message.
therefore HelloJava.java is moot. Not moot - the whole point, really.
I see
usage javac. So being confused about what the message
says and not reading the message are two entirely
different things.No, it's only about one thing. You keep confusing it with the other.
.> If you would like to help me understand what is
wrong, that's wonderful and I thank you. All I can
say about this exercise is that it is the 1st thing I
am told to type into the command prompt. What it
means is not explained. I guess the author assumes
someone new to java knows what that means. This is
supposed to be a beginners book. Right, but they're supposed to be beginners who can think for themselves a bit and don't assume that they're correct in every thought they have.
I have an associates in CS. I have learned other
languages like C++, VB 6.0 and VB.NET, etc... to name
a few but I am still new to this and brand spanking
new to Java. We see that. Your associate degree in CS is meaningless here, because you're on new ground. It's valuable in the sense that it says you've learned in the past, but that's not helping you now. Leave your credentials out of this.
I have never programmed from the command
prompt. I had one course on DOS and that was over two
years ago. I am glad people want to help. Be gentile.
=) I love to learn.I think people are being gentle. This is hardly a flame job.
Right now I do not know what the solution is. I have
downloaded the JDK as directed. I learned how to set
the path, which was my origional problem. Thanks guys
for the help on that. I still can't write code in the
command prompt. Why? Because I do not have any more
instructions beyond the ones I have done thus far.
Type the given command and press enter.
C:\> javac HelloJava.java
javac: file not found: HelloJava.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible optionsYes, it's appropriate for this stage.
That is better than,
'JAVAC' is not recognizable as an internal or
external command, operable program or batch fileBut the original message was appropriate for what you were doing wrong.
but still not where I need to be.
Message was edited by:
TazimshiJoe gave you a good suggestion: if you're editing with Notepad, you might have a .txt hidden at the end of the file type that keeps javac.exe from finding that HelloJava.java source file.

HDV DVD

I captured footage from my sony Z1U and edited the project in FCP. I exported it to QT the final movie is 1:36mins 1920x1080) It is 18gigs. I sent it to compressor as every book recomends and it is in the 8th hour of processing and still going completing only 51% so far. According to the H264 that I chose it will allow me to fit 119mins of video on a standard DVD.
Is this going to work? or am I just wasting time. I used to downconvert my footage in my deck and then edit and produce my dvds in SD , which by the way was much easier but I figured I would give my client something different by providing an higher quality widescreen. If this does work, will the DVD play in standard decks? Will the video look good?
Im new to most of this,even though I have succesfully created dvds before with little problem? So Im sorry if these questions sound dumb, but since it looks like I may have another 20hours to go, I figured I'd post here.
Tks for your answers.
George

the apple H264 for HD DVD codec is probably a waste of time for you. first, it is 720p & going from your Z1U 1080i HDV quicktime to 720p H264 is going to take forever, not look that great, and only be playable on a (powerful) mac computer. burning an HD DVD to play on the toshiba player would be useless because:
1. the toshiba player has problems with H264 from DVD SP (I have the player, I've tried it, footage plays back at about 10 fps).
2. the toshiba player beautifully play the 1080i HDV quicktime if you drop that straight into DVD SP 4, but your project is way too big to fit on a disc.
3. your client probably doesn't have an HD DVD player.
If you want your client to actually be able to watch your DVD, I suggest export using compressor straight from within FCP and choose best encode (2 pass) 120min 16/9 SD DVD.
It will take 20 - 30 hours but it should look okay.
And your client will be able to play it. They tend to like that.

Recomend Internal Drive For Mac Book

i'm looking to change out my internal drive for more space. looking for the largest size which i think is 250. can any one recomend a drive or ones to stay away from. i see a seagate 250 2.5 serial ata/300 note book drive advertised for a good price. will this work? and is super duper the best cloning program, i don't want to do a fresh install
thanks

I don't have any personal experience with that Western Digital hard drive, but from all the reviews I've read on newegg and other sites they've all been positive. I'm actually thinking of getting that hard drive myself, that's why I brought it up.

Can i install windows on a mac book air?, if i can, do you recomend it?

I want to buy a new macbook air but i need to use windows, but i dont know if i can install it on a macbook air and if i can install it, is it fast? Do you recomend it?

You can but if it's on a disc you would need a way to get it to your MacBook Air such as a USB Superdrive.
For the recomendation I can't really say but if you use programs that only work/work better on Windows then sure. All the Macs I put Windows on worked fine but you should consider the 8GB of RAM upgrade for the MacBook if you plan to run both at once.
