I'm a newbie - Would you recommend using jdeveloper to build my website?

I am after some advice.
I want to build a website which will have a members area and several other bits of server-side functionality.
I have built 1 or 2 sites using dreamweaver - with PHP and MySQL.
I could simply build the site with the above but am keen to learn new skills. I have no experience of Java, but I've been advised that I could possibly build my site using JDeveloper. Taking advantage of ADF.
I have installed the most recent version of JDeveloper and a MySQL database.
I have managed to set this up and connect to MySQL using the third party jdbc driver.
Anyway could anybody please answer the following:
1. If I build my site using jdeveloper with a mysql backend - is there anything I need to know in terms of getting the site hosted. Most hosts I have seen offer a MySQL database with either PHP or MySQL. What do I need to look for?
2. Can anyone suggest any decent tutorials? I'm not sure if the learning curve is too steep. As I said I have no Java knowledge.
3. Can anyone suggest any decent samples I can install/run? I found one on otn about a toy store but this required an Oracle backend rather than MySQL.
4. Anyone other advice or words of wisdom....?
Thanks

Yes you can build Web sites with Java - and using JDeveloper and ADF will probably make it simpler for you.
One thing you'll need is a server that will host a Java application.
For a sample and a tutorial see the ADF Developer Guide and the SRDemo applicaiton.

Would you recommend purchasing a camera off a website?

I found a great camera, Canon GL2, on a few websites for 799. Do you think that it's legitimate? Places like Expecam and Best Price Cameras. What would you suggest, a Canon GL2 or a Panasonic AG-DVC20? Thanks!

I live in a small town and I buy things online a lot. If the price is way lower than the big sites(B&H Photo is a good comparison) then it's most likely a scam of some sort. Google the site and see what sort of comments you might encounter.

HT2589 I just bought an Imac. I have an ipad2 and an iphone 4s. My wife has an iphone 4s. Both of us have different apple ids. Would you recommend a new one or use an existing id? Why?

It is best to stop making all new apple IDs, as software is permanently tied to them, and you can't converge them. Make differnt ones if you plan to get divorced though....

I Mini with an i7 processor. I would like to use Boot Camp to install windows based CAD software on my MAC. Would it be better to use a plugin external hard drive to load my software on and if so what hard drive would you recommend?

Thank you for your quick response. I can then use a ZIP drive for data storage. I want to keep as much of my hard drive free of data as possible.

Which of these solutions would you recommend?

while trying to create a login system using JSP, I ran into several tutorials, and tried creating one by using java beans to keep track of the session.
The bean stores the username by using setUserID(String userID), and also sets a certain variable to true if the user is logged in.
To create different levels or types of users, and add more functionality to this login system, I believe I could add more properties to determine the level and other necessary information (with information taken from a database), and simply use a beanid.getProperty() to check for the information I need for example.
I know that another way and the more common way to create a login system while securing other pages on the website, is to use session tracking and the session variable to set different values, etc... and keep track of the user.
Now my question is, which one of these 2 solutions would you recommend? Which one do you believe to be more secure?
Thanks.

Arent both essentially the same? In the first, you set all properties in a single bean object and bind that object to the session. In the second, you bind each property individually to the session. So there is nothing to choose 'security' wise between the two options. Security, I believe, has nothing to do with how you track the user's session. Usage of SSL for example is a security technique.
Having said that, if we confine your question to which is a better option for session management per se, I would favour the first (a single bean). I am not a great fan of a bloated session object though. You can always query necessary info from the db using this id rather than storing it in the session.
Note you neednt set a variable to indicate that the user has logged in. The presence of the UserBean is sufficient to indicate the logged in status (assuming that you create such a bean only on successful login).
Hope this is useful to you.

Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema

Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema for e.g. apex_040100? Or would you rather a separate tablespace be used for the application objects? In addition to this we are integrating it with Oracle EBS? Are there any industry best practices for creating tablespaces and schemas for apex applications?

A BIG NO!!!, you should be using separate schema's

Web page video - what file type would you recommend?

I've stood up a web page for selling things (house, musical instrument, chipper-shredder, rent an apartment, etc.) and would like to have a few videos included. The plan is to save the video on the server and not use hyperlinks to places like vimeo and youtube. For one thing, vimeo doesn't allow a basic member to use their site for selling things.
A. Screen view size: I would like something, say, 2.5 to 3 inches high X whatever width the proportion would be (4:5 or 16:9), minimum.
B. Resolution: Most of what I've recorded is in 1440CBR but reducing the quality to keep the file size small is VERY important. I'm not looking for Full Hi-Def, just something that gets the message across.
C. It is very desirable for the visitor to be able to start viewing the video as soon after clicking on the hyperlink as possible. If they have to wait for a few MegaBytes to be downloaded they probably won't stick around. Also, there will be no advertising on my web page which should be nice.
D. The file format should be viewable by both Macs and PCs. Questions:
1. Is *.mp4 H.264 the most universal format?
2. Should I "Share" to a QuickTime format and assume the PC users will have QuickTime on their machine?
3. FCPx uses the "Share" menu in order to Export. What would you recommend for a Share setting (file type) so it will do what I would like to do?
Is there anything I left out that would be good to know???
Editorial comment: This has been a total struggle.

Hi again,
I'm happy with the Audioengine 5 which I have on the computer desk about 2' ~ 3'
away so I'd call them 'near field'. You should have a shelf on your desk so the speakers are roughly at your head height. I'm also using a 12" Velodyne powered sub in this set-up which sits on the floor to my right.

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

Would you recommend the AppleCare plan for iPad?

Hello, All
I got an iPad for Christmas (my first Apple product), and I'm trying to decide whether to buy the AppleCare plan for it.
Does anyone have any experience with using the AppleCare plan, or getting support for a broken iPad without the plan? Would you recommend getting it?

In the past, with computers that could be opened and fixed by replacing parts, a service plan was not particularly advantageous for those who could swap out a dead HD and put in a new one. When laptops arrived, many thought that since it was a "closed system", it would be best to get a contract. I'd say with the iPad, it's really a closed system for most of us, and buying a plan may be as prudent as for laptops - but then there's the price to consider, given the price of the iPad. I think you can buy a plan anytime before the original warranty expires, so you could hold off.

What kind of camcorder would you recommend for FCE HD 3.5?

Hello everyone,
I'm very new here and have been trying to search for the answer to my question without having to bug anyone, but now I am under the gun, as it were.
I need to purchase something within a week and a half and would truly appreciate suggestions from anyone here. Here are a list of my questions and I hope you all will be kind of enough to help me. Thank you in advance.
1- I would prefer a camcorder that records to a DVD, but if tape is way better, please let me know.
2- I see that FCE does not support AVCHD. What other pitfalls are there to avoid in purchasing a camcorder that is compatible with FCE HD?
3- My dream is to have a camcorder that can record in 24p, but can't seem to determine whether FCE HD can support it. Please help!
4- Am willing to pay more for CCD sensor range - is this helping?
5-Would like to shoot in 16:9 ratio and with lines of resolution of 720 and higher, this possible with FCE?
5- With the questions above...what camcorder would you recommend?
I know some of the camcorders that have these features are ranging from $900 to over $1,000 but would consider it a good investment for things I would like to do in the future.
I hope the information I've given is enough for you all to give your suggestions. Thank you again.

They are not bad - just unsuitable for FCE and all good editing programs.
There are several totally different kinds of Digital Video - many people mistakenly think all "digital" is the same.
DVD, Flash Memory or Hard Disk camcorders produce video in a version of the MPEG format.
FCE etc. only handles video in the DV or QT format which is totally different from MPEG.
One analogy would be to buy a diesel powered car and then find that all the filling stations in your area only had petrol (gasolene) pumps. Your car would be pretty useless !
The only way MPEG can be used in FCE is by converting it to DV or QT which wastes time or money and results in slightly reduced quality.
All these cameras are produced for the mass market (where the money is), to be used by people with no knowledge or interest in film-making or editing.

Would you recommend Macbook Pro?

Hi folks,
I've been an owner of an iBook ('snow' model) for about 5 years and I'm in the market for a replacement computer. My past experiences with the iBook have been stellar, it's never had a major problem (there are some minor gripes btw). However because of the tiny screen size, I've sworn off of buying another 'non-pro' apple notebook.
I mainly use my computer for typing papers and surfing the web and occasional photo editing. I just want something that will last me a good number of years and still be usable. Would you recommend the macbook pro?

artfart (Josh):
My reply may be a little late but I thought I'd throw it in just the same. There are some very good replies here, especially those from Digital Dude and cgerrells. My apologies for what will likely be a lengthy reply because I have yet to share my story with this community. Perhaps now is the time.
I would certainly recommend a Macbook Pro to anybody that had the budget, was looking for a near-desktop replacement computer, and was into prosumer-level capability for an audio and video editing (and similar duty) workhorse. This could be for anything from a hobby-level to professional level or both. Mine is a 15-incher with 1GB (needs to bump to 2) and the 7200RPM 100GB HDD. I tried BootCamp, which was very good, but I hated restarting. I decided to run with the Parallels Beta, purchased the pre-release license, and now that it is released, I haven't looked back. I absolutely LOVE it. My XP-only stuff is great. Some people still have issues with Parallels and some people have some lingering problems with the MBP itself. But I am fortunate, I guess. For now, this is my second MBP (first one was DoA), and I am very, very happy with it.
My very, very long story. Skip it, if you like:
I too was once a hardcore PC-only user. Never would an Apple grace the insides of my home or office. I could never consider the artsy-fartsy-ness of a Mac, no matter how well they were made or how good the customer service was supposed to be. They were just too expensive and too exclusive. I was basically a PC snob, much like many Mac users are Mac snobs, you know? I was/am not a PC novice, either. IT Pro doesn't exactly describe my profession; it's not exactly that simple. I have more than a decade of experience in MIS and a graduate degree but I'm more on the high end of my company's IT shop. MS SQL and management and stuff like that. So I was a Windows guy through and through. I do audio and video editing both for a hobby and semi-professionally. Digital photography is the same kind of deal for me. But I did all that on the PC just fine. My house was like a server farm. I had 4 or 5 PCs at any one time. There were even a few Linux distros just for fun. Windows 2003 domain for testing with Exchange 2003 in there for good measure. I guess there was a Toshiba laptop or two.
Then one day last year (some time before they announced the plans for the switch to Intel CPUs) I got a wild hair to buy a Mini. They were so cheap, I just wanted to try out the audio softwares and such. And with a simple KVM switch, I could add it to my desk here at home.
I had trouble at first. It just didn't make sense to me. After a while, I let the Mini just sit. Maybe six weeks went by. I got back into it and learned how integrate the Mini into my production studio. Things were looking up. I began to like OS X.
Then I began to need a new laptop. Back then I didn't know Apple had changed the meaning of the word.
But I had the feeling I should wait until I saw what Apple would come up with. They had announced the Intel CPU deals. People had begun "hacking" together ways to run Windows on these new Macs. Things really began looking good. Then Apple announced the MacBook Pro. I really wanted one of those very much.
When was that? February?
So I started to figure out if I could buy one.
By April, they announced Boot Camp. This sort of (un)officially supporting dual-booting XP sealed the deal. I ordered the sucker.
Aside from the terrible ordeal of spending the $$$ and then having to return the DoA and waiting for the replacement (and dealing with the scumbags I had to deal with at Apple Care) I am very happy with my laptop.
If you chose to read this terribly long story, thank you very much.

Would you recommend ClenMyMac 2 for cleaning up my hard drive on my old Mac Book Pro?
My Mac Book Pro is running very slow and I noticed I don't have much memory left.
Next step is to put some more RAM in.
Any other suggestions for speeding up my old trusty Mac would be appreciated.

Would you recommend I install adobe flash on my mini?

I would like to have adobe flash player on my mini but don't want the hassle of getting a million virus' that I had on my PC's...would you recommend it? Just realized that one of the websites that has employment videos uses adobe exclusively. Just want to know the pro's and con's...
Thanks in advance.

Adobe Flash in and of itself is not really problematic with viruses.
(doesn't mean that Flash itself works real well). The big issue as of
late are malware sites that put up an Adobe Flash update window
hoping people will click on it and install some nasty software. Most
of these exploits were Java based. But there can still be others
that tell you you need to click the update and then download the "installer".
Then people unwittingly run that installer, again infecting the machine.
In general with Macs, if some site says you need to download
something you didn't ask for, don't do it. If it says you need an
update, go to the vendor site for that app/plugin to see if you really
do.

What case/cover would you recommend?

Hi,
I've been looking into iphone case covers like the ones advertised in iskin.com and case-mate.com . Those two are advertised in the Macworld magazine. These are the slip covers that the iphone "wears" around its sides for added protection etc.
Does anyone have any hands-on experience with any of these already? Or would you recommend another, completely different brand?
I have an 8gb Iphone if that makes any difference.
Many Thanks for any suggestions,...Frank B.

I ordered the iskin revo case last week when it first went on sale. It just arrived today and I am very impressed. This is the 4th case I tried and I think the revo is nearly perfect. The silicon is of very high quality and adds some much needed grip to the iphone as well as some more shock and impact protection. I don't know about the plastic screen shield it comes with, it is supposed to stay on and then you take it off and it clings to the back while you are using the iphone, I probably won't use it. Another thing I really like is that it covers all the ports, some people mentioned it looked like it covers the headphone port totally. Well this is true, but the piece over it peals right back giving you instant access and it is still covered when not in use in your pocket, I was starting to notice a lot of dust build up in there but now it is covered so that is nice. It also comes with a dock cover that isn't attached but I will probably use also.
If you want a nice case I say this is the best, I got another silicone case that was cheap feeling and didn't fit very tightly. The revo fits tight and feels great, and it won't be covered in dust, it also still allows the light and proxy sensors to work while in the case. Only draw back is that if you want to use the dock you have to remove the case, but I don't see that as much of a negative. It is worth the price.
