IBook for Graphic and Web Design

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying my sister's iBook (since she doesn't really use it). I was talking to a mac rep about using the iBook for Graphic and Web Design purposes and I wanted to get other people's opinions on how Adobe Creative Suite and Dreamweaver have performed in other people's iBooks.
Thanks!

Running a lot of applications simultaneously, or a few high processing type applications such as Adobe's is what takes up RAM. OS X utilizes Hard Drive available space to make up for memory (RAM) deficiencies. This will "slow down" a system's ability to manage the files. So if you like to multiple applications opened at the same time, buy more RAM. Personally, 1 gb ought to be the minimum for today's systems.
By contrast, a computer's processor, including logic board, video board, etc. are the engine of the system. The iBook has a small engine. So no matter how much RAM you feed it, it's still going to operate like a small engine. If you want more processing power, you would need to purchase a more powerful notebook (eg Power Book) or a more processor oriented machine such as the Intel iMac or Mac Pro.

Which monitor to use for graphic and web design?

I've tried searching these forums in vain.
I work as a Web/Graphic Designer and I've been using my ancient Samsung SyncMaster 740N plugged in to my Macbook-2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo for the last five or so years. I need to upgrade my monitor pronto.
Any recommendations for 22-24 inch monitors? Btw, where do I check to see if my MB has DVI?
I was thinking about the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 or the Samsung P2370.

I recently purchased, from BB, a Samsung 23" LED monitor that has made my life so much better! I intended to buy the new external monitor, but my MBP is two years old and not compatible with the monitors. The Samsung is comparable and far less pricey.

Using same project for Desktop and Web (?)

Is it possible to manage a same codebase/project for compiling both for AIR and web release (?) Also, on a distant thinking, can ANT able to help on this way?

To elaborate further, in Flash Builder create:
Core Library : Actionscript Library Project - This project contains 90% of your code as CWBenccw mentioned.
AIR Core Library : ActionScript Library Project (Linking AIR libraries) - This project contains AIR-specific implementations of core functionality.
Web App: ActionScript Project (Web) - This project links with Core Library and contains a basic entry point for web (a Main Sprite)
Desktop App: ActionScript Project (Desktop) - This project works like the above, but with a Desktop entry point and Application descriptor, and links with AIR Core Library
Mobile App: ActionScript Mobile Project - Same as above, but for mobile
The way you use your AIR Core Library is to provide overrides for things that are different in AIR. For instance you might want to be able to save files differently, but transparaently to the Core Library. In this case you create an interface for saving in Core Library, e.g.
interface Saver
function save(filename:String, data:String) : void;
You also create an implementation for your non-AIR core:
class FlashSaver implements Saver
function save(filename:String, data:String) : void
     var so : SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("something");
     so.data[filename] = data;
     so.flush();
And then an AIR implementation that might use AIR features like direct File IO.
Your various entry points are responsible for providing the correct implementation of Saver to your Core Libraries via some form of dependency injection.

Security for SOA and Web Services

Dipak Chopra's 09 Dec 04 "Security for SOA and Web Services" piece has been a terrific starter for me as I start to delve into this topic. Does SAP/the SDN plan to publish an SAP-specific roadmap to show the adherence to and adoption of these standards in NetWeaver? (Or maybe there is such a published roadmap that I am unaware of?)

Hi Randy
SAP follows and participates in Security and other Web services standards very closely as we recognize the opportunity they present our customers for developing solutions and integrating systems faster at lower cost.
However many of the standards are still in development and so are not quite yet ready for "prime time". This means that we can't really publish a "road map" as it would be continually changing. However, if you want an idea on which standards SAP thinks are important, please take a look at this presentation [1] which was delivered at the last Tech Ed.

What hardware should i consider using if i am a graphic and media design?

I am a Graphical and media designer who is also into coding so i like producing websites. However, when it comes to reccommending hardware or even knowing any hardware at the slightest, i get really muddled up when choosing the right componants. I would like to know what good stuff i can use such as
Desktop
Hardware
Processor
Memory
Power Supply
CPU ?!?!?
these are just examples but it would be good if you can help me out!
Thanks.

If you're considering purchasing a Mac, why not go to an Apple Store and talk to one of the people there. Tell them exactly how you'll use your Mac. You'll get good advice and no sales pressure. If you're not near an Apple Store, you can call the Apple toll-free number where you live and get the same good advice. You can find out about hardware and software that you need to do the job.

First time using inDesign for multi-page web design. Trying to "print" a pdf or jpeg to show client. But it comes in blank (white) but file size is 1.8mb. help!, First time using inDesign for multi-page web design. Trying to "print" a pdf or jpeg to show

Have created a web design using Master Pages. 5 pages in all. When I try to create a proof with pdf or jpeg the result appears blank (or white). How do I create something that I can send my client?

Hello all,
I appreciate your willingness to help.
Did a test. Copy and pasted a page of my graphics into a new indd file and into a new master. New file works fine for exporting jpeg as well as pdf.
Must just be something wrong with the original. gremlins. No time to wonder why.
but....Thank you again.

Is Dreamweaver the best web design software to learn for an aspiring web designer?

Hi Everyone,
Perhaps difficult to get an unbiased answer to this in a
Dreamweaver forum but I'm sure most of you considered other web
development software before you went with Dreamweaver. Of course
the answer is not as straight forward as just choosing one piece of
software over another. I understand that there isn't really one
piece of software that ticks every box for the web designer. What I
mean is that there isn't one standalone piece of software that's
best for web design (HTML, CSS etc.), graphics and animation etc.
and that's why we have things such as Adobe Creative Suite. Anyway,
sticking to web design and development in the Dreamweaver sense,
would I be correct to advise someone who wants to work in the field
of web design to use Dreamweaver as their main tool? Particularly,
I would be interested to know if Dreamweaver really is the industry
standard as it's important to consider future job prospects.
I hope you understand what I'm asking.
Thanks, in anticipation for your help.
P.S. Has anyone heard of Enterprise Works?

LOL... sure!

15 macbook pro retina and web design

Hi
any web designers here that can give me a breakdown on how retina MBP affects their web design process? I use illustrator and photoshop, exporting to pngs and psds. I understand that there are a bunch of issues for the process as a whole - like not being able to see exactly how the site looks on most people's computers.. how do you solve this? (using an external monitor is not a good solution.. as I cant really come to my client's office and work maily from my own computer)
any other issues to be aware of?
this is the only thing that holds me back from buying a retina mbp... any thoughts?
thanks in advance!

Best file formats for graphics and photos for iWeb

What is the best format to transfer files from PDF's, JPEGS, Illustrator CS3 & InDesign for best resolution display in iWeb

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. JPEGS should have the sRGB color profile. I don't know of anything special for PDFs. You might compress them to make them load quicker when viewed but those that I've added I've not done anything to them. For Illistrator and InDesign it probably would be best to take screenshots of them and use those. I don't think iWeb can import those formats but since I don't use either I could be mistaken. All graphics in web sites are displayed at 72 dpi so having large graphic files are not needed. Resize to approximately the size you want to display on the web page at 72 dpi and use that.

Simultaneous development for desktop and web

What I'm looking for is simultaneous development of a desktop client and a web client (as an applet). Basically, the desktop client and the web client should provide the same functionality. What I'd like to do is develop these two concurrently; with the same tool, using the same codebase with build-specific changes being kept to the absolute minimum. To estimate the size and difficulty of the project.. JDBC, sockets, graphics.
From what I read, Java Studio Enterprise would be OK for working on both aspects. Functionality would be provided by a set of special Beans I'd write. What I'm wondering about is that how well could this succeed. Question time!
* I'd like to have the desktop client use SWT and the web client Swing. It should be possible to wrap these to provide a common API for myself, but how much work am I looking at?
* Regarding the question above - if I use a visual RAD tool like Sun Java Studio Enterprise, how easy/much work would it be replace the widget library with their "cross-platform" widget library equivalents (so that in the code, it'd reference my own versions and all)? This is about reducing the build-specific changes again - when I drag and drop a button to a form, I'd want it to be one of my own magical SWT/Swing buttons.
* I'd imagine the application would get fairly large - how much unavoidable change should I expect between the desktop client and web client? Are there any serious pitfalls/caveats?
* Would it be feasible to realize the desktop "client" through Web Start - just make the applet and have it launched through that?
I'm evaluating different views and ideas for a possible project and would like to know how Java would fare in something like this. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your input!

Maybe something like OpenID Connect built on top of oAuth 2.0 would be applicable?
Users can manage their identities with an Identity Provider. Your Web and Desktop applications become Relying Parties and they will be given an ID Token and possibly an Access Token when the user is authenticated with the Identity Provider.
The Identity Provider could be extended to federate onto other Identity Providers such as ADFS, Google, Facebook...

Company code restriction for dashboard and webi reports in BOBJ

Hi Friends,
We have a requirment where we need to restrict user on company code level in bobj.
we have some dashborads and webi reports which need to be restricted at company code level, hence i have created a role in BI and restricted the queries (bex queries) on company code level and same role and user i have imported in BOBJ.
Now i can see the role and user in BOBJ and also i can login to BILAUNCH PAD with authentication as SAP But unable to run the webi reports and dashboard hence i have added those reports to this user in bobj and now i can run the reports, but restriction is not working.
In BI I am able to restrict user but in bobj its not restricting. kindly let me know if i am missing anything?
We are having BO 4.0 SP6.
Thanks
Basis

Hi Saurabh,
In BI its wokring perfectly fine.
I can run the query for specific company code and data is being populated as the respective compay code.
I have also configure SSO between BI & BO using below link
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/How+to+setup+SSO+against+SAP+BW+with+SAP+BO+BI4.0+Common+Semantic+Layer+%28UNX%29+or+BICS
but when i am trying to create a olap connection in IDT with SSO connection test is getting failed with belwo error.
com.businessobjects.mds.olap.OlapException: [Internal] SSO token or User password is empty.
I checked STS is already there in APS .
Thanks

I want to create a document in Illustrator that i can use for Print and Web - using 2 different colourspaces.

Is it possible to do this? I need to create a document so that I can export as a high quality CMYK for print and export the same file as RGB jpeg / pdf for web and email use. Do I have to create the document with 2 different colourspaces, or can I change / convert the colourspace after I have created and finished the document? or is there some simple way to select an RGB / CMYK option when saving/exporting?
look forward to your reply!
Tom

Tom,
In addition to what Monika said, the document can be either CMYK or RGB Colr Mode, but not both.
And you are right in starting with the CMYK because that will ensure (to the degree possible) that the CMYK and RGB versions match in colour (gamut, the CMYK gamut being the more linited and almost entirely included in the RGB gamut); this will prevent more vivid RGB colours which will make the CMYK colours seem duller.
