I am new in portal development . From where to start

Hello !
I am new in portal development .
i have installed 8i db on Linux and 9iAS on win2k . Now i want
to start developent through oracle portal .
For that purpose i have downloaded PDK .
Now what to do .
I am still unable to find the platform where i have to start
development .
Can somebody tell me which steps are required to start
development.
i am more interested doing development in pl/sql.
Where i have to type the code .
Where i have to execute it.
Where and how to run it.
Can somebody tell me with small example .
Regards

Seemab,
I feel your pain. After having been at this for a couple of
months, here's what I have to offer you.
0) Watch every single one of the portal tutorials on this
website. They are little movies and slide shows with tutorials
and actual application walkthroughs that were EXTREMELY HELPFUL
to me and my team in the absence of formalized training. They
were really great.
1) Take a few days and read every single white paper that you
can about Oracle 9iAS Portal and its architecture.
2) Use the portal interface to create groups and users.
3) Experiment with as many aspects of the portal interface that
you can. This will help you see the strengths and limitations
of portal, and where you may need to focus your development
effort.
4) Create database objects like tables by using the portal
interface. Create an LOV off of one of the tables, and use it
in a form. This is all just general stuff that helped
familiarize me with portal.
5) Publish different kinds of documents to the portal.
6) Create a PL/SQL item in a portal. Educate yourself on the
HTP and HTF procedures and functions to print things to the
screen dynamically.
7) Most important of all, download as many pieces of sample
code as you can and install it to portal. On this website you
will find numerous instances of sample portlets and
applications. You will learn what it takes to install Java-
based providers, servlets, and others.
8) Using a good PL/SQL tool like SQL*Navigator or TOAD, browse
your way through the PORTAL30 data dictionary, going through all
of the tables and especially the packages. This will help you
learn where you need to write code to interact with the
underlying objects in Portal.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific than that, but you can really
be on your way to becoming a well-rounded portal developer by
experimenting with these things that I have listed.
Good luck!
Sincerely,
Adrian Klingel

Oracle Portal Development from different geographic locations

Hello,
Have anyone done the development with Oracle Portal from different geographic locations, our customer want to know is there a way we can develop Oracle portal application from different geographic locations and merge it one place.
One reason is because the portal is in the database. If you have two separate groups work to build a single portal, it reason that each team would have their own installation. When these two groups are done (or periodically), the development efforts must be merged into the final complete portal. Is this possible using Oracle Portal (merging portal installations)?
Second reason is that typically other systems owned by the customer are exposed or accessed by portlets. Access to these portlets would probably be required for development. If nothing else then for unit testing.
How do you typically see off-shoring done with Oracle Portal, if at all? Or am I incorrect in my thinkings. How does the Portal meta-data stores the portal configurations is it possible to merge different portal schema into one and make it the main portal environment.
Please let me know if anyone successfully done this. Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kathir

What to check or can say from where to start?

Hi Gurus,
I've a situation, have been given a Dev db, a copy of their current Prod db, kind of a warehouse, not core and now my task is to check this db from all perspective and tell the application what is right or even wrong too.
Can any one please assist, advice/guide here, how to move about it, kind of struggling.
From where to start and what to look for, would like to start with parameters and the most important have to implement my suggested solution too on this Dev db and try to convince and coordinate with the Prod dba too, in order to implement there.
Looking forward for a favorable response, thanks in advance.

I came across information that Firefox has turned off the development for Windows 64-bit.
That is incorrect. There is a plan to stop producing 64-bit nightly builds, which are tests versions of Firefox.
You are using the release version of Firefox, which is 32-bit, and will continue working unaffected by the aforementioned change. 32-bit programs work without a hitch under 64-bit Windows. The default Start Menu shortcut for Internet Explorer points to the 32-bit version, and Firefox's main competitor Chrome is also available only in a 32-bit variety.
Even if you were using the 64-bit test version — and you aren't — the plan is to silently move testers to the 32-bit version, so as long as you have automatic updates enabled, you wouldn't have to do anything.
Technical details about 64-bit builds can be found below.

This is one route. Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support But I am wondering if your previous chat was within the 90 days allowed in the guarantee period ... a different situation entirely to what you now want. Why not Google Kindle to see if your interests appear there.

From where to start designing logo

Hello everyone I know how to work with flash and photoshop but I am not sure about the good program to make the logo If I want to learn designing logo professionally from where should I start??????????

I could not have said it better my self, you always should put alot of thinking, sketching before ever actually going into the program of choice. ( I would always recommend Illustrator to get most or all of the logo done in, espitially if your ever going to use the logo for print! vector is key! )
- Excellent post!
Re: from where to start designing logo
Very good link!
I
feel that logo design starts long before any sort of graphics program
comes into play. It is done with pen and paper, or perhaps a word
processor, where the concept of the logo should arise from a lot of
discussion and heavy thought. Many questions should be asked, and then
answered, before the first designs are even committed to a sketch. A
logo can convey a lot about a company, and should do so. A lot of
thinking, mostly in words, is where I would urge anyone to start. Do
this homework well, and first, and the rest almost becomes mechanical.
When
the concepts are nailed down, it's time to begin the actual process.
The into PS as a rough, is a good one. One can try a lot of treatments,
to refine the concept. Then, for a usable logo, I feel that AI is the
next step, as has been stated. From there, one has complete control, and
depending on the use at that moment, PS can often help with getting
that AI file into a Raster image. InDesign can also be very useful to
the implementation of the logo.
Again, good article, and thanks,
Hunt

I'd suggest you to read [OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-007|http://www.sybex.com/WileyCDA/SybexTitle/OCA-OCP-Introduction-to-Oracle9i-SQL-Study-Guide-Exam-1Z0-007.productCd-0782140629.html] It's wonderful book and it has helped me a lot to pass this exam
Moreover, you should attent an Oracle University and read some SQL docs from http://tahiti.oracle.com
Good Luck!

From where to start android programming ?

the question pretty much explains it. i have almost completed java programming. i have completed half of java essential classes from oracle java tutorials but what i mean is which ide should i download and from where should i learn it. for java programming i have been using netbeans and i think it also supports android programming. any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would start from here: https://developer.android.com/training/index.html
This is where I started 2-3 years ago, when Eclipse was the preferred (only?) IDE.
I have no idea if they still base the tutorials on Eclipse only, but if it is so, I would not mind learning another IDE for the sake of learning Android programming.
Advice: do not get too deep into Java GUI programming, because Android does not use AWT/Swing. Most of the rest of your Java background will be very useful.

New on Game Develop - I need a Start Point :)

Hi,
I know that this must be the topic most common, I develop applications to client/Server and I want to venture me in the development of a game (RPG). The problem is that I do not know where to start! Which are the class that I must use? Already exists some api in java to help me? If yes, which are they? The map, the players. I intend to make a basic game in 2d, as lufia (SNES), Final Phantasy VI (USA III - SNES). Which must be my starting point?
Thanks for all !

The beauty of Java is, pretty much everything you need is right there available.
There are other API's apart from the java standard, but I have not used any as of yet.
Java2D API is part of the standard edition java. It will handle transparency and everything else you may need to do an snesRPG clone.
Instance modeling will save you scads of time, make sure you know how to make and extend abstract classes, they will make your life easier, make sure you know how to time Threads properly.
The map will be a class, the class will actually serve as a sort of database for inividual tiles on the map. The class will be instanced from a 2 dimensional array with x and y values being the dimensions. You will need to have 3 or four layers of this map. The class will store the possition, image, and other important iformation about the individual tile.
You need to learn MediaTracker, you will most likely want to use AWT instead of Swing, you will need to learn how to use BufferedImage, etc.
Plan Plan Plan, and Plan more. RPG's are big projects, if you use linux, dia is your friend.
Work on little things like logic while you learn the other stuff you need such as Randoms, how to implement monsters and characters, and make them do battle, how to tell if they are dead, attacking, etc.
An RPG takes a very stubborn individual to successfully complete as one man project, if it doesn't work, there is a reason, find out what it is, and yes it has been done before in java. :-)
I have been assuming you are a good programmer, therefore I just scartched the surface for you to show you some of the things you need to plan for to get into game programming.

How / from where to start on Solaris Driver developement?

Hi,
'm a User domain developer, want to also learn about driver developement.
Please give me pointers so that I can start with
Thanks,
-Vikrant

First of all you should download the following two documents:
- Writing Device Drivers
- STREAMS Programming Guide
If you want to develop USB drivers you must have USBA 1.0 installed (Solaris 8/9 has 0.8 as default) and additionally download the "USB DDK" from Sun.
A device driver is an object file (created by "ld -r ..."). You cannot decide if you use 32 or 64 bit. On a 64 bit OS you MUST use 64 bit code.
If you use GCC: On Sparc machines 64 bit code is generated using "-m64", not using "-xarch=v9".
The driver must provide three functions: "_init", "_info" and "_fini" (see first document).
There are two types of drivers:
1) Streams drivers (described in the second document) are drivers for stream devices. These are all devices that implement a character stream and can be used with "streamio" ioctls. Examples are: All terminals and serial ports, printer ports, mice, keyboards, ...
These devices communicate with the system calls (e.g. read, write, ioctl) using special data packets. Therefore programming Streams drivers is very different from writing other drivers.
All streams devices are character devices.
You can also write streams modules (see man streamio, I_PUSH). Such modules are "filters" that can modify the data between the device driver and the application.
2) Other drivers. They may be character or block devices. These drivers have different functions for different function calls. Example: The "ioctl" function call will call the function "MyDriver_Ioctl" of your driver.
I think writing a non-streams driver is way more simple than writing a streams driver. I had some system crashes when running instable self-written streams drivers. However some drivers must be streams drivers e.g. if you want to use the device as a terminal device or if you want to push modules using I_PUSH.
Unlike Linux the OS detects the presence of hardware and decides when to load a driver. You create the file /kernel/drv/NameOfYourDriver.conf with driver settings. This file also contains the information that your driver does not require hardware (e.g. ram disks). You must add your driver to the system by typing "add_drv NameOfYourDriver". Use the "-i" option to tell the system which hardware is handled by your driver.

OFR directories setup:
Input mode:
batch-root directory:
c:\Program Files\Oracle\Document Capture\Commit
