I don't understand the question... However, Cores are just low-level API that allows you to program easily parts of your software that will use the power of the dedicated material directly.

Well, Xcode is an IDE that allows you to create projects, manage sources, targets (they allow you to link your sources the way you want, for example to create a framework or an application), coding your sources with helpers like code completion, refactor, code folding, etc.
The closest friend of Xcode is Interface Builder which allows you to build your... Yes, interfaces, but it's not like winforms, it doesn't generate any code, it actually stores in .nib files every attributes of used objects, the links between objects, etc. And when the application is load, the objects are unarchived and links are made.
Other tools alongside with Xcode are generally utilities to test the performances, memory usage, memory leaks, speed, etc. And you other kidn of tools, you'll just check.

also i would like to know if they are third party companies that do cool ready made controls to be added such as advanced grids and other controls if you have refrences to them or links please provide to me,
One advice, first look at what is already provided by Apple, then you search for those things, and maybe you can also build those things yourself, but first try out things that are already provided.

JSP demo PTS included with Oracle 9i Developer Release for Mac not working

Hello all, please pardon my ignorance, but I am an Oracle DBA not a JSP programmer.
I have installed Oracle 9i developer release for Mac OSX and it included a demo application in JSP called pts.
I followed all the instruction and it still doesn't seem to work.
When I try to login to the application I get the following exception:
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 3 in the jsp file: /oradev/pts/solmktinit.inc
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting.
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
[javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting.
[javac] /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/work/Standalone/localhost/_/oradev/pts/login_jsp.java:7: cannot resolve symbol
[javac] symbol : class DBAccess
[javac] location: package pts
[javac] import oradev.pts.DBAccess;
I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it. I'm sure it's something simple like modifying my classpath or something, but, as I said, I don't know where to begin.
Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can't you just use the 10g client ?
I have not tested the 9i dev. with oci calls but I would not be surprised if you try this on tiger. That won't work AFAIK.

Does anyone know a good developer magazine for mac development

Does anyone know a good developer magazine for mac development I will be happy to get multiple answers

And the fact that it's was a vertical, slow-moving, dead-tree, subscription-driven, ad-based business model has nothing at all to do with it... Mac mags died a long time ago, for good reason - get over it
I guess I don't really agree with that. There are still a few Mac magazines around. Interestingly, they are often magazines from the UK. I find it funny that there isn't a big enough market in the US to support homegrown Mac magazines, but they continue to print them in the UK with a much smaller market, and ship them over here. But I digress. I do think the points you cite for the demise of Mac magazines are all incorrect. The same system works just fine for any number of other magazines. The difference is the reader...
Google is your friend.
Now I greatly disagree. Not only is Google not your friend, but it (or rather the internet - it gets hard to tell the two apart anymore) is turning into a massive source of disinformation. There was a time when programmers were expected to read the manual, read magazines, and try things out in order to figure out how to do something. Now, we are expected to just Google it.
Well, I do Google things on a regular basis and I find the advice dispensed to be wrong or otherwise useless more than half the time. Google is on the way out. Information networks are the wave of the future. That is why people come here. Apple Discussions is more reliable than Google.

Best development platform for enterprise applications on the Oracle DB

We have been developing enterprise applications for many years based on Oracle technologies, right now we have reached a significant number of systems developed with Oracle Forms 6i and a few ones with Oracle Forms 10g. Although according to Oracle Statement of Direction of March 2012 Oracle remains committed to the support of Oracle Forms and Reports, there won’t be new features added to these products, and we can predict that eventually they are likely to be discontinued. Although we will continue using the Oracle Database, we have started to look for a replacement of our development platform, for the new developments and the migration of our existing Forms applications. Our Oracle database is installed on a Linux server. We are also planning to retain our existing programming staff and most of them have no experience with other tools or languages.
This way, I would like to hear from people who has faced the same problem what development platform (development framework, IDE, programming language, application server) they chose for developing their next generation enterprise applications and what factors they considered in making that decision.
Any suggestions, ideas, recommendations, considerations or advices you can give us would be welcome and really appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and thank you in advance for your answers.

Your question is not an uncommon one. However, my opinion is that which product or technology you use for an application should not be solely based on what is "cool" today. Some of today's most popular product may not be able to do what you need them to do or at least may not allow you to do it easily. You need to use a product and/or technology which falls into this group:
1. Does the product/technology offer the features our application will need?
2. Does the product/technology scale to the level we need? Both in user base and application size?
3. Does the product/technology offer the level of security we need?
4. Does the product/technology fall in line with our development team's skill set?
5. Does the product/technology fall in our budget?
Whether you are speaking of an Oracle product or competitor's product, all have their advantages and disadvantages.

How to decide the development platform for developing portal content?

Dear Experts
There are several platforms on which we can make
portal contents for SAP Portal.
1)Web Dynpro for Java
2)Web Dynpro for ABAP
3)PDK for .NET
I am trying to find out which of them would be most
efficient while developing system for the client.
It may be that for one who knows Java, Web dynpro for
Java would be efficient and so on.
However, when there is a situation where the developers
need to be trained before the project, which of these
platforms would be the most efficient.
Beside the evaluation based on language of development,
are there some other evaluation based on criteria like the
ease of development, deployment and debugging, cost for the
softwares and hardwares needed for the projects, contents
of the class library, templates provided and so on?
Does anybody have some supporting document that describes
on which circumstances which of these technologies would
be efficient while making systems for the client?
It would be of great help if you could share your insights.
many thanks,
Sudeep

hi sudeep.....
whatever technology, you work in , the output is going to be the same and he ecnd user cannot find out what technology you have used.... ABAP would be better because its growing up fast and many applications are being created using web dynpro abap.

What programming language should a beginner use for developing apps for mac and I phone etc

Hi all
I have just made the transition from pc to mac, years a go I dabbled in visual basic and was going to give it another go but having made the move to mac, now owning an iMac/ iPhone and iPad I am now thinking I would be better off learning a programming language that would enable me to create program's /apps for apple products. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

If you want to develop apps natively, you'll have to go with Objective-C (language), Xcode (IDE), and the Cocoa Touch libraries. Objective-C is a super-set of C. So, if you've no background in C, start there. In fact, here are three books I recommend:
Dave Mark, Learn C on the Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Learn-C-Mac-Dave-Mark/dp/1430218096
Aaron Hillegass, Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide:
http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/objective-c_programming_the_big_nerd_ranch_guid e
Joe Conway & Aaron Hillegass, iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (3rd Edition):
http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/ios_programming_the_big_nerd_ranch_guide_rd_edi tion_
Dave Mark's book covers C, and you probably don't need all of it. Once it gets to really elaborate storage issues (for which you'll end up using Core Data on iOS), you can skim. On the up side, you have some programming experience, which will make learning C easier. On the downside, it's in VB, which isn't as similar to C as most other languages are. But, it's a start.
Hillegass covers some basic C in his book on Objective C as well. So you might can start with that. The final book only touches on Objective-C lightly and is really about using the iOS frameworks to do real work. It's entirely project based and will get to you building things and testing them and really creating iOS apps.

Concerns with choosing a free development platform for industrial use

Hi,
There are concerns at my company over the notion of using free applications (Apex and 10g Express) to meet our needs, since they are both free. Both applications can clearly handle our database that may grow to at most 10,000 records in 10 years.
The most common concern is that Oracle may charge for one or both of these applications in the future.
Has anyone else had issues convincing others that Apex is a good choice?
What other concerns were brought up and how were they dealt with?
I am not in our IT department so computer-related suggestions are a tough sell in the first place.
From my perspective, even if we continued to use the current version of Apex and 10g Express our future needs would be met. The Oracle forums provide a great deal of support for both products. It still seems difficult to rationalize however. The old saying “nothing is free” comes to mind. To make matters worse, I have had several individuals respond to the mention of the name Oracle with statements like “they are far too expensive.”
Regards,
David

Hi David,
I understand the argument...however surely there are equally valid counter-arguments to that -
1) The logic used would say that your company would be much happier about using the same tool now if they had to pay for it rather than not have to pay for it.
2) I believe there has never been a precedent of Oracle trying to charge people retrospectively for a tool that was initially free but then became 'pay-for' afterwards. In other words, use it for free today, sure anything might happen in 5 years time, but until then enjoy the product.
3) If Oracle dropped APEX tomorrow that would still not 'break' any of the applications that you have already developed. If Oracle drops APEX in 5 years time, think how productive you could be between then and now.
There are countless shops out there still running 'business critical systems' on de-supported hardware and/or desupported software. Remember just because something has been de-supported isn't the same as it stops working (although sure, you'll need a plan around that).
If your company is trying to get some sort of guarantee that APEX will be around in X years time, then I think they're going to be out-of-luck. No company can really guarantee a statement like that in practical terms...even with the best will in the world, anything can happen in those sort of timescales.
I'd say use the best tool for the job right now and for the immediate future, predicting longer term than that is an impossible task (and personally I think anything who knows otherwise should send me next weeks lottery numbers).
Also bear in mind that Oracle does have a precedent of giving their customers a lot of advance notice before de-supporting a product. If you take a walk through Metalink you could probably do the statistics on what that period is (or perhaps it's documented somewhere?).

Captivate for MACs?

I just read some posts from 2006 and 2007 about Captivate not
being available for a MAC. I was checking to see if there has been
any change in direction for developing Captivate for MACS.
I am going to be videoing several training classes, and then
reusing some of the content for other audiences. The video and
audio editing of the MAC will make this project much easier. I
would like to use Captivate and a MAC. Any chance this could be
accomplished?
Larry

Larry, I realise that this response may be a little late for
you, however others may come across this with the same question.
You can use Captivate on a Mac (using a virtual windows
installation) however this will not allow you to record Mac
applications, only what is in the Windows OS.
For details on performance of Captivate CS4 in a virtual
environment see
here.
(There are also some mention of Mac screencasting
applications in that post - if you need to record Mac stuff)

Quick Question... About SQL Developer for MAC - MAC Users please help.

Hello everyone, I hope that someone out there can tell me that I am not crazy.
I have installed SQL Developer for Mac OSX to access a MS-SQL database, and perform simple query operations. For the most part, I have been thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured.
Details on my current setup:
SQL Developer
Version 2.1.1.64
Build MAIN-64.45
Mac OSX V10.6.3
JTDS-1.2.5 JDBC driver
Database connection is SQL Server 2005
Anyway, my problem is this... I cannot locate the Query Builder function within this software. I have found the tutorials on how to use it, and it would appear to be located when you right-click the SQL worksheet to open the context menu. This option is not present in my software, and I need to figure out why. This screenshot is what I see when I right-click.
Does anyone know if this is related to MS-SQL-2005?

Any assistance you could provide would be AWESOME! Thank you!
Edited by: user13118614 on May 23, 2010 3:05 PM

First of all you need an active connection in the worksheet (upper right drop-down).
But even then it might not work. Sorry you were "thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured", because even if it is, MsSQL isn't. The tool is mainly focussed in providing a migration platform to Oracle, so a lot of the cool stuff is Oracle only.

We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used. Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash. If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first. Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control. Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

Just bought Creative Suite 5 for Windows, but I want to install it on a Mac. Can I change the platform for a serial number?

As the title says I want to change the platform for a serial number so I can install it on my Mac. I know from searching on Adobe's help pages that you can request a platform or language swap, but the link they instruct you to use has been under maintenance since october last year? Is there another way around this? Thanks for all your help.

CS5 does not qualify for a platform swap. Adobe allows platform changes for the latest version only, which is CS6. The information regarding that is available thru the foillowing page...
Order product | Platform, language swap
If you just purchased the software then you should be able to return it to whatever third party vendor sold it to you for an exchange for the Mac version.

HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1. Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional. Advice?

I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number. If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

Making a java browser component for Mac platform(Urgent)

I was trying to make a simple java browser component from scratch for running on Mac platform. I was using JFrame/JEditorPane. Although JEditorPane can open web pages but it can't support Javascript, flash and other interactive features of many websites. Does anyone know any way to make JEditorPane support javascript?
I also researched on JDIC java web browser, but unfortunately they don't support for Mac yet. Is there any free third party tool available which I can use?
Any quick help is appreciated. Thanks.
