Hit brick wall with "Getting started with DW"

Hi Guys, i am totally new to web design and DW, working
through the "Getting started with DW" under the “help”
banner seemed o.k at first until one leaves the comfort of table
design, once into the css and xml the environment the Getting
started tutorial is very shake and waiting for a reply from DW
would test even the patience of a Buddhist monks.
Can someone please recommend a good book/video/dvd or is it
best just to ask questions on this forum, it does seem faster than
DW.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bal

To be honest with you, the very best way to get started is to
start with
HTML and then CSS. A week or two spent learning the basics of
both of these
will make DW seem like a walk in the park afterwards.
Ask your questions here, though....

Help Needed with getting Started With Office 365 Development C# Rest API

We have a O365 Tenant Setup with a Federated Active Directory Setip we want to be able to right code that will connect to our tenant and perform basic CRUD operations against it (ex. Creating mail boxes)
The problem is we want this to be contained in a CLR trigger In SQL so say if a new user is added to our user table then we would create a new AD account for that user and also create a mailbox.
But I cannot find and example on how to connect to Office 365 using the REST API (Not the SDK because you can not add the connected service to a class library) and before the required actions that we need to do. All the example I have found are with the
SDK API and/or require window 8 and that is also not an option.
Please help I do not know where to start, and I would love to see some examples done in c# and not using the SDK.
Thanks,
Andrew Day

Hi,
>> Instead of SharePoint URLs I would use the O365 API URL?
Yes, in my sample code, I was accessing the File resource by using the O365 File API. In your case, you need to acquire the token to access the Mail resource and use O365 Mail API.
By the way, I think the article
Understand Office 365 app authentication concepts will help you to understand the authentication process in Office 365 Development.
>> Why can I not use the SDK API with a class Library?
Actually, you are able to reference the Office 365 .NET SDK in the class Library. But the class library project type was not supported by Visual Studio Office 365 Development Tool. As a workaround,
you can reference the SDK manually in your project.
Since your original question is about “getting started with Office 365 Development C# Rest API”, if you have more questions about the Office 365 SDK, I will suggest you posting a new thread
to discuss the Office 365 SDK. It will involve more other community members to share their ideas and experience on a specific a question and for others who had a similar question could also find the valuable information quickly.

Problem with getting started with the SQL Developer in oracle 11g

I downloaded the oracle 11g from the oracle site and installed it on my machine.Now i want to write the sql queries and practise them......so i tried this:start\oracle11gHome\ApplicationDevelopment\Sqldeveloper . But I get a messagebox with a browse button asking me to "Enter the full pathname for java.exe"
what is this all about?Do i need to install jave in my host machine?
how to solve this problem?

hi
If you are asked to enter the full pathname for java.exe, click Browse and find java.exe. For example, the path might have a name similar to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java.exe.

New User: Needs Help with getting started with the Z

Hi, my son got a creative Zen for xmas, only getting round to getting it together now, and having some problems with the manual. All this is new to us -technology etc. We have managed to rip a CD but cant get any further! Downloading from internet sounds like such a good idea, but 'know-how-to do' seems light years away in this house! Is there an easy start manual or step by step directions that I've missed out on somewhere? the quick start manual is fine for learning how to use the player but doesn't give any info on ripping CDs and whatever comes after. Can any of you 'experts' bring yourselves back to the begining and explain what to do in simple english?

Mother,
I moved and edited your message as your are more likely to get help out here. As far as suggestions go for downloading from the internet goes, there is not a lot of difference between getting it from CDs. The main difference is the process of actually getting the music.
First off there are several music stores out there and some that are free. Here are a few suggestions (this is all personal knowledge, this is not an official endorsement of any of these):
Napster - Integrates into Windows Media Player if you desire and can transfer directly to most Zens. Also allows a user to subscribe to an account that allows for streaming and computer only downloads of music (must purchase song to transfer to the player...usually around .99 a song)
Buymusic.com - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
Wallmart music store - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
There are others but these three are the mains ones (outside of itunes, which is designed for the Ipod).
Basically once you download them, you go into MediaSource or Windows Media Player and add the files to the music library. Then you just transfer like you do with CDs.

Getting Started with FCE - Problems with my imported files

Hi,
I'm trying to get started with Final Cut Express, but I'm experiencing lots of problems when I import my project from iMovie.
My project contains video, which I imported into iMovie at 960 x 540. It also contains some keynote animations, which I exported from Keynote as quicktime files.
When I export my files to FCE, I instantly get problems.
1) When I add the imported file to the sequence, I get an "Attention the clip does not match the sequence's setting or any of your sequence settings" error.
2) Whether I choose to translate my settings or not, I try to play the video in the timeline, but there is a continuous beeping sound, no audio from my video and when it hits the keynote animations, it just says "unrendered" or "media offline".
Please can you offer any advice on how I can get started with FCE more successfully.
Thanks!

Hi(Bonjour)!
(please specify iMovie and FCE version)
Well, your sequence settings in FCE should be DV-PAL 48 Khz.
Create a new sequence.
From iMovie and Keynote, export your movie with quicktime conversion andd select DV-PAL 48 kHz (*And Not* DV Stream...). This material should play without rendering because his format and codec match the sequence's codec.
Import your files and everything should be OK.
Michel Boissonneault
The audio should be AIFF 48 kHz 16 bit linear PCM

Problem with Getting Started

Alright I'm having a problem with the Mac instructions for Getting Started with Alchemy (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Alchemy:Documentation:Getting_Started)
Basically step 13 when I type :
gcc stringecho.c -O3 -Wall -swc -o stringecho.swc
gives me the following output
Macintosh-3:stringecho aman$ gcc stringecho.c -O3 -Wall -swc -o stringecho.swc
stringecho.c:10:17: error: AS3.h: No such file or directory

From what I gather it seems that some files are missing (AS3.h) which is why the errors and warnings are caused... is there anything I have to do to get that file
If anyone can help explain whats wrong and how to fix the problem it will be greatly appreciated

Just updated to latest version , getting started with Mozilla Firefox opens everytime not homepage , how do I get rid of unwanted page

I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox , when I hit the icon and firefox opens the first page that comes up is the Getting started with Mozilla Firefox and not my home page , I have checked everything I could find and nothing keeps this page from opening like it's my home page . also I unloaded download helper for the same reason , it keep opening up wanting me to upgarde to the latest version , I already had upgraded , I don't know what is going on , My home system was upgraded early last week and works fine , I double checked all setting between the two systems , nothing , Please let me know where to look , thank you , a longtime fan of Firefox.

Hi Romulus949,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. Then you can set your homepage to anything you like.
If that doesn't work you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!

Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch.
Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
More details below.
Thanks,
Fab
Here is a video showing the steps I followed
If you don't want/can't see the video. Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far:
GratestCommonDivisor.lvproj C Generation build specs Information:
C Function prototype definition:
I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
Then to run it I just type
I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.

Hi Kevin,
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.
Thanks,

Getting started with an iBook G3?

Hey,
I just got an iBook G3 (500mhz, snow, airport, 10gb hd, upgraded ram), to compliment my iMac (G5 rev c) and I'm a little new.
It was used, I got it via trade.
Does anyone have some tips for me to get started with it ? I'm wanting to upgrade the HD to at least 20 GB, and to max out the ram. Any hints on that ?
Also, where can I get a new battery and charger ?
Also, what else should I know about it ?
It will mainly be used for writing (novel, fan-fics), surfing the web (wirelessly), and when I'm traveling...
Oh, it has OSX10.2 installed.

Hi, Josh. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
How much RAM is installed?
Does it have the original AirPort card installed? (You may want to install one, if not, to enable wireless access to the internet.)
Did the original system CD's and the OS X 10.2 software CD's come with it? If not, try to get the person you got it from to give them to you. You will need them if you intend to upgrade the hard drive (and for maintenance, even if you don't upgrade the hard drive).

Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from a logic board problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and be aware of how this logic board problem manifests itself.
It has been suggested that you can minimize the chance of a logic board failure of this sort by never picking it up by the front left corner alone. Pick it up with both hands or in the center under the trackpad.
It's also a good idea not to close it any more often than you need to in order to minimize the chance of the backlight cable (and other cables and wires) becoming pinched in the hinge or broken. When you have some time, check out the Discussion thread in the Displays Forum entitled 90 degrees and black out!!!!
Information on using the battery to maximize both life and lifespan can be found here.
You can download the manual for the iBook (Dual USB) from this page:

Good luck, and happy iBooking!

Java Applet HelloWorld "Getting Started With Applets" example not working

Hi there,
It's been ages since I ran my Linux CentOS boot of Linux but I am going through the official oracle java applet tutorials, just every time I try and run the "Hello World" applet in Firefox 17.0.3 and I am running the Iced Tea thing for java applets.
Every time I try and run the example from the following code:
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class HelloWorld extends JApplet
// called when the user enters the html page:
public void init() // keep apps within the init() function very small as per the http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/appletMethods.html
    try{
      SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
        public void run()
       JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Hello World");
       add(myLabel);
        } // end running the application
      }); //end of swing invokeand wait
    } catch (Exception error){ // end user running the app in page
       // System.err.println("GUI didn't work on initial run");
}It keeps bringing up the error "Start: Applet not initialized" I did google that basic error and from what I found I should consult the JavaConsole, I know the console was removed from the Firefox menu quite a while ago. So went to find a way of loading it using the IcedTea one but it keeps bringing up a load of errors in even trying to run that.
Is there anyway of sorting this out? I mean I have even tried installing the one on the oracle website, the plain JDK but nothing seems to work.
Is there anyone that can help me get applets working? I was even going to go as far as to reinstall my distro but I want to avoid that as much as possible.
Thanks and I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.

in the Getting Started with Java DB tutorial they
tell u how to set ur "DERBY_HOME" (what is that?).
once i press enter after typing this command:
set DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java
Phonebook\javadb in my command prompt do i get
any message or does it just go to the next line?type env or set or whatever in the command line to see what your environment variables are set to
they also tell u how to set ur "JAVA_HOME" (what is
that?). The Java installation you want to use
in their example they give u this: set
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05but in my java folder i have jdk1.6.0 and jre1.6.0
but no j2se1.4.2_05, so which 1 must i choose?It's up to you. I'd go with 1.6
also once ive done this: set
DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java Phonebook\javadb this
set JAVA_HOME=D:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0 and this set
PATH=%DERBY_HOME%\bin;%PATH% and then type
sysinfo to verify that the variables were set
correctly i get these errors: 'D:\Java\Java' is
not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file and '""'
is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file any help would
really be appreciated because this is really killing
me!you need to set your path variable - so something like:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05\bin

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

Error, in Getting started with Labview. Chapter 3, part 4.

Hi.
Still struggling on, trying to find the time to work through the "Getting Started with LabVIEW" document.
Only 19 days left to go, and I'm still only in chapter 3!...
Right. In the "Saving Data When Prompted by a User" exersise, part 4...
4.   Right-click the Signals input of the Write To Measurement File
      Express VI and select Insert Input/Output from the shortcut menu to
      insert the Comment input.
Problem is, that option is greyed out, so not available!...
I did what the instructions said, I right clicked on the "Signals" input, and it doesnt do what it says on the tin!
Any pointers?   Please don't mention search the help, I've crashed the entire LV environment 3 times now, trying to search for something in there. It's OK if it finds someting, but it seems to bomb at times, when there is some ambiguity when searching.
Also, I won't be able to do anyting with any replies for a day or two, as I have to go up country to a customer, and mess about with hot oil, high volts, and lots of RF. It never ends.   (I've still got the day job to do, while trying to fight my way through this "evaluation". 30 days of "Use" would be better, than 30 calendar days for some of us.)
Regards.

OK... Who let the smoke out?

Hi Dennis, and everyone else..
That is not how it looks when first dropped on the BD. On my machine, it is partialy expanded by default, after you clear the Configure dialog that pops up ocupying most of the screen.
Again, if it makes a difference to the way the Right Click shortcut menu works, it should be documented in the Getting Started document, especialy as it seems to be a critical point.
OK, explain this...
I've just rubbed out the save to file VI, cleaned up the broken wires etc, and then planted a new one on the BD. Once I cleared the Configure dialog that covers up most of the screen before you see it the first time, the VI was partialy expanded. I forget the exact list, but "Signals" was not at the top.
I did *EXACTLY* the same again, deleted it, cleaned up, and then planted a fresh new one. That DID appear that time with nothing but the "Signals" item showing, and two down caretts below that, indicating more items.
So......
Why the different behaviour each time, on the same BD, in the same session. Some underlying working data not being correctly initialised when invoked? Of course, that never happens, right? ('C' programmes eh?)
Trying some more, it seems the behaviour loosley depends on just how close to the edge of the While loop grey border you place it.   Odd.   I have a 1280x800 screen to play with, and a 1280x1024 second screen I use for the Getting Started document. That is the absolute maximum I can have, due to hardware limits.
I also find, that if you fully expand the "Write to Measurement File" VI block, then fully collapse it, then expand it again, all the items in that list have changed places! Why?
I had noticed earlier that there is no uniformity in the layout of even the items common to many if not all VI blocks (error in, and error out to name but two) Sometimes one is above the other, sometimes the other way round, sometimes they are not even ajacent to each other. Has that been done as a source of minor ammusement or something?
Talking to another colegue here, who just wandered in to see how I was getting on with this. Seems he also has tried the introductory entry into LV (V8.something) in the past. But he too, found too many things that behaved differently from one time to another, so abandoned it as a lost cause, then decided to learn how to use Visual Basic with NI-GPIB IO instead.   Not without issues either he said, but at least it all behaves exactly the same, each and every time.
End of the day now...
Regards.
