Getting Started PERIOD....

Not asking for tips (YET). I just want to know which programs I would need to create a 3d chatroom, with audio capabilities. Not live streaming audio but user uploaded audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanx - Buji

> Okay, I see I'm not going to get anywhere here.
You'll get a long way here if you're willing to listen. I'm trying to save you a great deal of frustration. If you enjoy frustration, by all means, don't listen and continue along your path.
> First off, I'm 22 I already have a degree in music.
I don't see how that has anything to do with your problem. Neither your age nor your degree in music changes the fact that you are asking about how to complete a project that is out of your scope.
> And I plan to return to college for programming.
> It's not like I'm asking what software I can use and expect to
learn it from thin air. I'm asking for help not
criticism, although it may be constructive.
What "help" are you asking for? If you want to begin learning Java, go through this tutorial for starters:
The Java? Tutorial - Lesson: The "Hello World!" Application
> I just want to make sure I dont waste my time learning
something I'm never going to use. There are twelve of
us working on this project. And as far as being
practical, you had to have started SOMEWHERE. I'm
just asking for a little insight. thanks.
I don't disagree that you have to start SOMEWHERE. What I'm trying to get across to you is that you've expressed that you want to start at an inappropriate level. Do you have any development experience at all? The project you mentioned is not something you'll be able to just throw together in a couple months with no prior experience using Java. It's simply unreasonable, just like the Army analogy I mentioned earlier.
If you want to learn Java, start by learning the basic syntax. Familiarize yourself with object-oriented programming fundamentals. Learn something about concurrent programming. Get to know sockets. Here are some good resources for you:

  • Consolidation not getting started in Task Flow

    Hi All,
    I am using Task Flow to run the HFM Consolidations in 9.3.1.. when i select "Run Now", the task flow is getting started and is in "Active" mode but the consol never starts. I checked in "Running Tasks" and in the grid for the cell status, both tells me that the consol never started.
    The same task flow if i use for sending Email alerts, it sends email and change the status to "Done".
    Also i manullay ran the HFM consolidation using web grid whcih also works.
    Does anyone have faced this kind of issue in the past or can help me with any suggestions??
    Thanks for your time & help,
    Regards,

    HI
    Plz check in Sm37 whether the background job of the start process has started or not. If not find out why it has not started.
    To find out the background job of the start variant. Right click on the start variant and select display scheduled jobs and it will take you to SM37 where you can check the job status.
    As pointed out, if you are using immediate mode then you dont need to give date and time. IF you want to execute the process chain on a periodic basis then change the start variant by giving date and time and select the periodic option based on your requirement.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards

  • Why do I get a period when I type the first letter in the search box

    Every time I type a letter in the search box to start a search I get a period. If I leave it there Firefox will not give any returns on the search. This not a huge problem, but it is pain to have to remove it every time

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Mdx expression to get previous period month

    My dimension table has a column for current period month, where every row has the same value, updated at the end of the month. I am using the following expression to get current period month.  "Jan - 2009" is randomly chosen, as every
    cell on that column will have the same value.
    [Time].[Time].[Month].[Jan - 2009].Properties( "Current Period" )
    Result of the above expression is "Feb - 2015".
    Current period month will always be previous month of the current year. example: During Jan - 2015, current period month is Dec - 2014.
    I need to use this expression or any function to get the previous month. For example if the  current period month is Feb - 2015, then the previous period month should give me Jan - 2015.
    How can I accomplish that?

  • Why do I get trial period has expired when the elements is new today?

    I purchased elements  12 today.

    Did you try the suggestion at the link? Following its instructions resets the sign in process (it does NOT extend the trial) so that you can start the software, enter the serial number and sign in.

  • How to post a XCelsius in the BPC Web Application Getting Started page

    Hi Experts,
    I'm new using BPC 7.5 on NetWeaver. When opening the Getting Started tab in the BPC Web Application there is a white page that I would want to fill with content. This content should be a XCelsius Dashboard linked to the Query or InfoCube on which I`m planning. Creating the XCelsius Dashboard is not the problem, but to insert it in the Getting Started panel of the BPC Web application. Has anyone an idea how to do it or how to proceed. Ideas or a little how-to would be perfect.
    Thanks very much in advanced,
    Àlex

    Hi.
    Try this...
    const string LIST_PAR_NAME = "lu";
    string listName = string.Empty;
    if (this.Request.Params.AllKeys.Contains(LIST_PAR_NAME))
    listName = this.Request.Params[LIST_PAR_NAME];
    else
    throw new ArgumentException("Par lu is not present.");
    SPList listExport = web.Lists[listName];
    However take a look at this
    http://zsvipullo.blogspot.it/2013/10/get-splist-from-internal-name.html?q=getlist
    to check how GetList method is faster than web.Lists[].

  • With Open ESB CD in hand, how do I get started?

    I spent time at the Open ESB booth at JavaOne 2007 talking with the Sun representatives and engineers about Open ESB.
    I'm glad I did, but I'm having a heck of a time getting started.
    I have all of the requirements set-up running on Solaris 10 development server.
    I've used the Service Oriented Architectures using BPEL from Java BluePrints, which really helped, but I feel I don't know enough yet to apply it towards real world projects yet.
    What other resources are recommened to learn more about SOA, BPEL on the JBI Framework?
    Thanks,

    Pinstriped_Dude: That's a very good point which I totally overlooked, thanks.
    I've been tasked to learn (not really tasked - I'm always happy to learn) about ESB, SOA and JBI - so far I'm taking baby steps and making progress.
    Thanks again,

  • Pages 2.0 will not get past the "getting started" screen

    i just updated pages to 2.0 on ipad 2 retina (ios 7.0.2) and now i cannot open pages, it will not get past the "getting started" screen
    has anyone else experienced something similar?

    Had the same problem. This sovled it for me:
    Just let it load.
    In Keynote, I didn't have so many documents, so the freeze didn't take too long- that's how I noticed it's just a freeze while loading.
    For pages it took much longer. You can also turn off iCloud in settings for Pages, Keynote, etc. open it, re-enable iCloud in settings app again and quick switch back to pages (double-click home button). It will freeze up again, but after a while after all documents have been pulled from iCloud, it will be back to normal.

  • When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

    Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
    I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.
    Thank you in advance

  • Cannot connect to GET STARTED page

    Hello,
    First off, I am sorry, I did a search and saw numerous posts on this issue, but about all of them either ended their replies after a user asked "Did you do this or that ?" or they just stopped posting... at most I saw some topics where it magically worked later on, but no real step-by-step instructions.
    So, the problem: I installed XE 11g, no apparent problems during install (no warnings so I assume everything is OK), tried the GET STARTED link, but it said it can't connect.

    AUD: OS Error = 1717 encountered while writing audit recordFrom what I could gather from other posts here (and on other sites) the problem is I don't have anything listening on 8080. Other than that, all seems OK (I think).
    So, can anyone tell me\help me on why that one isn't starting ? I reinstalled this 6 times and still can't figure out the problem... (as you saw, I even replaced the tns hostname with 127.0.0.1 out of paranoia). It's seriously driving me mad. Every topic I searched for (from the problem itself to even a step-by-step for dummies) shows an install, then the interface working... I see some questions regarding "I can't connect to..." but most are unanswered :(
    Thanks in advance!
    P.S. let me know if I forgot to mention anything relevant

    jgarry: I believe what you explained may be related to the fact some reported the DB doesn't work properly when the event log is full (I just emptied mine so it doesn't apply). Normally I disable it but without it started, the DB is not working properly (not that I can get it started anyway).
    There was a post on a site I found hinting at 3 things:
    1. ORACLE_HOME must be defined as an env-var
    2. ORACLE_SID must be defined as an env-var
    3. there might be a problem with spfile
    Regarding those:
    1. shouldn't the setup declare it automatically ? I don't have it declared, but I added it (no change)As Orafad pointed out, Windows is different. It does have a search hierarchy it follows to figure out what the environment should be. So first, unset what you set and go into a cmd window and:
    sqlplus sys as sysdba
    Edit: Oops, I meant
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    startup
    2. same as above, except I am not sure what SID to add so I didn't declare it ... The only 2 I have are PLSExtProc and CLRExtProc in tnsnames by default. I tried with each but the only thing that changes is instead of getting the shared memory realm error I get a TNS adapter error... trading one error for another is not funFor XE, the ORACLE_SID is XE (unless you do screwy things to change it). So now that I see you had some other db installed before, I suspect an environment collision. Delve into your registry and see what oracle definitions you have - this is a lot of work, things are spread around some, but searching for oracle is usually a good start. I'm not up on the 11.2 details (or others, really, I just have vague memories of seeing MOS notes that purported to explain clean up entirely, without truly doing so, and I avoid Windows as much as possible). I would uninstall XE, uninstall the other one, then search the registry for any leftover stuff, then install XE and see if it all magically works. But that is a fairly brain-dead way to deal with it.
    So that said, you can set up a little batch file to set your environment in a cmd window (specifically ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID), and go into sqlplus / as sysdba and give the startup command. If you get the memory realm error, you have one of those wrong, if you get the tnsnames errors you can fix those following the advice in Ed Steven's blog. You can run tnsping to see which tnsnames.ora you are using, if you use one (which is determined by an @ sign in your connection string, which you should not need to connect locally, but if you do, you need to have XE defined in the tnsnames.ora, and may need to set TNS_ADMIN to get the right one).
    Your tnsnames.ora should have an entry like this:
    XE =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Yourcomputer.yourdomian.whatever)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
          (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
      )You might want to search for any tnsname.ora on your computer, the default correct one would be: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
    3. I don't have that file in the folder but I suspect it might be created on a first successful launch of the DBWithout an spfile you need to use a pfile, then create a pfile from spfile. But there should be one at C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEXE.ORA (if you used default installation).
    >
    Other than that I didn't find anything helpful in logs (or don't know where else to look), nor on sites.
    I did have WAMP installed at a point (uninstalled it) but if it were to conflict I guess SETUP would tell me (since the XE license doesn't let you use 2 DBs at the same time)Is that some mysql thing? That shouldn't interfere. It's only installing multiple Oracle products related some what to the Oracle database that can be a problem, and normally isn't with the more recent stuff.
    I swear to god this is killing my neurons :(When you find the solution, you will slap your forehead.
