Lol, im a newbie. Completely new. Simple programming help, getting started.

Im completely new to programming, and i want to just figure out how to make a program that shows a bit of text, and just an about that shows an icon and a bit more text. Thats it for now. I figured out how to use Interface Builder to make the interface i need, i also figured out where to put the main.nib file and also how to turn a folder into an application, i just need to know how to make the other files. If there is a tutorial for the very basics of making a form and making it into an application, sorry i didn't find it. Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello,
you simply started with the second step before the first: A .nib file is part of a program, and not the other way round.
1.: Start XCode.
2.: Use File=>New Project...
3.: Choose "Cocoa Application"
4.: Give it a name, e.g. "SmallApp"
5.: In the "SmallApp" window, double-click the "MainMenu.xib" file
6.: Now you're in the IBuilder - here you can edit the interface
7.: Save & Quit IBuilder
8.: Back in Xcode - press <cmd>-<Return> (for Build & Run)
9.: Now you should have a working SmallApp.app

Internet: Xplonet satelite.
I am not very good at computers but I know that when I opened Skype I had a sign to press to make a call. Now nothing only Explore Prices Downloads and Help. But no help only answers that mean nothing to me. How can I learn this completely new system?
Thanks for help.

Are you sure that you are logged in to Skype application installed on your computer and not just to your Account page on the Web. The last will not provide you any access to your contacts or call option.
What exactly is the version of Skype installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.
If you have not yet installed Skype on your computer, then you need to do this now.

Simple Program Help - Start allowing focus requirement

Hello,
how do I Start allowing focus requirement: (eg: constructor). I am not sure what you mean by this.
I did what was recommended to complete this as follows:
public void start () {
     hoursInput.requestFocus();}
public void init ()     {
hoursInput = new JTextField ( 4 );
     hoursInput.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
     c.add (hoursInput );
I'm not sure where I can put this at though in my program:
add FocusListener (
new FocusAdapter()
Any suggestions?

Here is all of my code. I basically want to allow the insertion point to be placed in the jtextfield hoursInput. I have tried to code it, b ut I need to someone to take a look if possible at what i am doing wrong.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class calculatedCharges extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
     JTextField hoursInput, RunnTotal, CustCharge;
     JLabel hoursPrompt, RunnTotalL, CustChargeL;
     double fee = 0, total;
     String Fees, RunnTotals;
public void init ()     {
     Container c = getContentPane ();
     c.setLayout ( new FlowLayout () );
     hoursPrompt = new JLabel ( "Enter number of hours:" );
     c.add (hoursPrompt);
     hoursInput = new JTextField ( 4 );
     addFocusListener (
     new FocusAdapter() {

Need help getting started - I am a newbie and am royally confused

I have Crystal Reports XI and VB.Net 2005 with CR functionality built in. I created reports directly in CRXI and now need to be able to use them in .Net.
Here is where I get lost. When I created my RPT file it had me connect to a database (Access 2002) and then add a table and fields. It works great except now that I am porting to my .Net app the database it needs to connect to will always be changing (dynamic). The table and field names will always be the same. It is just the file name that changes, based on user inputs.
So are there any tutorials, literature, help that anyone can point me to so I can get on with my steep learning curve? I started programming in VB.net and developing CR's just a short time ago and would appreciate a 'dumbed' down explanation so I can get a handle on this.
Thanks for any help or advice offered.
Regards
TMA

I'm new, how do I get started?

I just got my BB Tour. It's my first BB. I'd like to set up Outlook or another program (is there a better one?) so I can have my contact list, calendar, etc on both my computer & phone. How do I do this? What do I need to do to get started?
I'm leaving on a business trip tomorrow morning, so I'd like to get this set up and start entering items today.
I'm working on a PC and I am self-employed, so I do not have MS Exchange or anything like that.
What do I need to do?

First, check your PC, do you already have Outlook installed to the PC?
If not, you'll need to get a copy of Outlook purchased and installed first.
Or you can use Outlook Express for contacts, no calendar.

Newbie : Complete Connect java program to DB2

Dear all,
I am failry versed with java and jdbc. I did a lot of google and searched a lot of forums but no one gave me all the details. I have done a lot of oracle jdbc. I would appreciate if some one could give me all the details please. I dont even know which jar files should be in the classpath.
Oracle Comparision :
place ojdb14.jar in classpath
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        // Create a connection to the database
        String serverName = "127.0.0.1";
        String portNumber = "1521";
        String sid = "oracle";
        String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;
        String username = "scott";
        String password = "tiger";
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
        // Create a result set containing all data from my_table
        Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM sometable");
    I am just about clueless on db2 .. (was able to scape through the install and the install is fine.).... to the limit that I hope my db2 is running on port 50000.
TIA

TIAHello Sarvanand,
You seem a champ in JDBC-ODBC programming...
I am fairly new in this .....
I am writing a basic code in java to connect to oracle 9iR2 database...
following are my questions
1) for oracle 9i ,is the jar file same ...i.e.. ojdb14.jar .
2)Do i need to create a driver first and then used it
i.e ...class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
here OracleDriver is your drivername existing on the server ? is'nt it ?
if yes could you provide me instructions to create this driver in WINXP ?
Please let me know .

New to Programming: Where to Start?

Hi
I'm 15 and just want to get a small start in the programming area for mac and iPhone/iPod Touch. I heard to be able to make apps for the App Store I need to have knowledge in Objective-C. Could you recommend any good video tutorials, books or things i need to learn for someone who doesnt know anything about programming? Thanks, any help much appreciated.

Start with a book and actually trying to write programs. Writing programs is the best way. If you strictly want to focus on iPhone development, you'll need two books, one on Objective-C and the another one to learn to use the different frameworks available on the iPhone. Objective-C is the language used to write iPhone programs.
Before you invest in these books, do a search on google for something like "iphone sdk tutorial." Theres a few out there. Try to follow a long. If you're still interested after a couple of weeks, invest in the books. It's important to have good reference books.
They way I go about it when I start studying a new subject and I want to find out what the best books are, I do a search on amazon.com. I just type in the subject of what I'm interested in. For example, I'll search for "objective c." Typically, the top results are the books that have sold the most. Most of the times these are the titles you want to check out. Read the comments people have. A good way to tell if a book is decent is by looking at the spread in the price of the book. If a new book is $50 and used is around $40, then it's a good sign the book has high demand and people tend to keep their copies and not sell them. If the new book is $50 and a used copy is $5 or $10 or something along those lines, then it might not be as good of a book since people are practically giving away their copies.
Good luck.

After reinstallation on a new computer program did not start

Why did the program not start after reinstallation on a new computer????

If my memory serves me correctly you can only have Aperture 3 installed on 1 computer at a time so if you have it installed on the original Mac and this new system at the same time it may give you a multiple installations detected warning or something of that nature.
Best of luck.
That is correct however Aperture does allow multiple installs to allow a user to have Aperture running on one computer at a time. For example a photographer may have a MacPro notebook and and Mac Pro desktop. He can use the license when he's on a shoot in the field using the MBP while the Mac Pro sits dormant at home. The software is sophisticated enough to detect he's trying to run one license on multiple machines simultaneously. I have successfully migrated Aperture myself and use it on my iMac and MacBook Air however as stated only one machine at a time.
The OP mentions the machine is new to him, which complicates matters quite a bit. I hope he got the original media from the seller if he did not then there is a good chance he is running illegal software and was duped by the seller. The OP doesn't say where he got the iMac so I'm assuming he bought it used, if I am correct then this is one the problems of buying used, caveat emptor. If I'm incorrect (like maybe it was a hand-me-down from a relative) then all he needs to do is get the media and key code.
Apple is careful on it's licensing on it's professional software.

Simple program help

Mission: Create a Java-program which asks and reads three words separatedly. These words will be printed starting from the shortest. If the length of two or more words is the same, whatever can be printed first.
Ive only recently started programming and I should submit this program on thursday. If you can give me instructions where to start or direct to a page which explains it, or code the whole thing ready since it should be pretty easy, Id be grateful extraordinaire.
-renney

This is one of those rare cases where having the class textbook really helps. In order to do this assignment, you need to learn how to read a string in from a prompt (that you specify) or from the command line, how to print a string to the screen, how to compare two strings, and some very basic flow control.
The online java tutorials and APIs here are really good at explaining how to do all this except for the read a string in from a prompt task. I have seen maybe four or five different ways of doing this because most Java programs don't require this sort of input.
Unfortunately, if we give you an answer, your professor may realize that you didn't learn from the textbook and flunk you for cheating. (Why didn't you use the method outlined here? If this is your first time studying Java, why are you writing code like 5 year veterans?)
But relax. Three days is plenty of time to learn how to do this. :)

Completely new Macbook Pro 13'' wont start!

Hey there. I'm pretty desperate now. After waiting for some time for my new(first) macbook pro, I finally received it today. My problem is now that it's stuck in the window with the Apple logo and the spinning loading wheel at the first start. What can I do? I've tried SMC, but that didn't help. Now I really hope that you guys can sort it out for me!
Thanks
The model is MBP 13.3/2.4 ordered a week ago

Started working after some tries! When i held the C-key during bootup, I got to the installer!

Newbie to JSP/Struts: Where to get started

I would like to begin experimenting with JSP and the struts framework. I'm a java newbie but a relatively quick learner.
First, what products do I need to use struts/JSP ?
I have 9iAS standard edition release 1.0.2.1 and an oracle database std edition without the JVM installed. Do I need the JVM in the database ? Can JSP use a JVM outside the database ? Do I need enterprise edition ?
Do I need Jdevelopper 9i or can I learn to use JSP with simple tools (HTML editor) first ?
Does struts need JSP 2.0 spec or the JSP 1.1 that comes with iAS 1.0.2.1 is OK ? Is JSP 2.0 = JSP 1.2 (Like J2EE = JDK1.2 and up) There is a lot of version/naming confusion going on in java, you got any site that can help me untangle this mess ?
Thanks a lot
You can reply to [email protected]

Thanks for your response.
We actually use oracle 8.1.7 and 9iAS (PL/SQL gateway and http server). We would like to jump on the Java Bandwagon before we are left in the dust. We first need to be able to understand a lot of technology/concepts/buzzwords.
We started basic Java programming (Applications) but would prefer to get an idea of "The big picture".
By that, I mean, we need to be able to understand/design/architect sound applications and be able to talk to the community and understand what they are saying. Right now, reading the media or forums is just a big bunch of buzzwords that are ever changing and we cannot get a grasp on it.
We not only need to get aquainted with the concepts, but we also need to be able to determine wether product xyz fits in the architecture, etc...
If you were to get a couple of good books to answer some questions, where would you begin ?
Kind of questions we might have are:
- What is the difference between Jserv and Tomcat ?
- What excatly is tomcat ? A replacement for Jserv ?
- Can Jserv be used as a container for struts apps or do you need tomcat ? If you need tomcat, does it come with some version of 9ias ?
- What is a java web service ?
- I read a lot about Enterprise Java Beans etc.. What are they, what are there purpose ? It seems like it is a standard, what are they used for ? If it is a standard, does this mean that If I buy a set of EJB from a vendor, it would offer the same beans as another vendor ? Is Oracle BC4J an implementation of EJB with added functionality ? Is it proprietary ?
- Buzzwords everywhere: MVC, EJB, J2EE, BC4J etc.. What are the definitions.
- Is oracle's java vision proprietary or are they really following the rest of the world ? For example, is BC4J compatible with EJB ?
- What is a Framework
- What exactly is JSP.
- Can STRUTS be used to access an oracle database ? If so, what are the required components (I guess you need JDBC or SQLJ) but does the oracle database need to be java enabled ?
- Even if you use oracle 9ias as an application server, can you use non-proprietary development methods/architectures/techniques that could be easily implemented somewhere else using another vendor's application server (Ex: Apache + Tomcat, WebSphere, etc...)
- Struts seems to be an interesting thing. I see that it was developped to encourage code reuse and prevent everyone from reinventing the wheel. But I cannot understand what exactly a developper had to write before struts was there. I mean, there must be alternatives to strut, if so what is the purpose of the framework ?
A lot of questions, but we need to understand the basics before we jump on the java bandwagon. If we wait, we'll be left in the dust and we need to keep current.
Thanks in advance.

Lol, im a newbie. Completely new. Simple programming help, getting started.
