Newbie needs to buy the right tool

I need to select a web authoring tool. I am very familiar
with the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 and Production Studio products.
Adobe GoLive is part of Creative Suite so I have that application
now. But I fear that with Adobes acquisition of Macro Media GoLive
may go the way of PageMaker.
I’m looking to learn the tool/s that will allow me to
best complete my work – not just the easiest tool. I am
currently creating multimedia training DVDs and associated print
materials. I’m looking at moving into areas of web-based
training/tutorials, and other emerging technologies –
podcasts, mobile devises etc. Fortunately money really isn’t
an object so I can get what I need. The question is what do I need?
Right off the bat I need the tool that will best set me up
for my first foray into the world of simple web-publishing. My
first project is an information website with a main page and two
sub-pages and links to other web resources.
Where should I start?

From what you've said, I would take a look at
Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver
8.

I need to know the right tools and java technology

Please help,I need to know the right tools and java technology to support what I need.
I had background programming in Assembly,C++,Visual Basic,SAP/ABAP 4.
All I can say, programming is about logic, now we are very helped building program using objects.
I'm very interest to SAP tech, where all screens, programs, reports are resides on tables, this is the real dynamic!
CUrrently I'm eager to do the same technic with java. I'm new to java....
What I know the J2EE is the core for me to start is it right? I was very interest with the Client-Server Tech. How can I impelemet this with Java?
I'm a bit confuse with so many java solutions. There is Java Applets, Swing, Java AWT, JavaBeans, etc...
I don't know what is the best if I want my Presentation/Client Application will run within browser (not standard html, using like windows gui). What should I do to make business logic objects, how to invoke it within the gui. how to make installation package whenever clients connect to the http server.
if you have a pointer to do it please let me know.... I'm very appreciate all your response...
Best regards,
Lucky Pangemanan

I'd say - don't get carried away with the heavyweight frameworks. Don't use EJB if Hibernate and/or Tomcat will do the job. There's a danger of winding up using a bulldozer to crack a wallnut.
What people mean by "J2EE" varies a fair bit.
Start with Tomcat, which has the virtue of being free. Try some JSPs and servlets.
Use Applets to do client side presentation only if you must; Applets create an installation overhead on end-users, and some of them can't cope, while others may not have the necessary installation permissions on their office machines. They are pretty rarely needed, IMNSHO, most client-side behaviour is better handled with html and JavaScript.

Process triggered by file upload - is GP the right tool?

Hello All,
I have a process I need to model that starts with a file upload from the user, followed by some manipulation of the file by some web services.
Is GP the right tool for modeling that process?
After completing the file upload action, how can I access the the uploaded file on the server?
Do I need to implement the file upload handling with Webdynpor?
Thanks!
Yossi

Yossin,
Based on your requirement, the GP process would be to use File Input CO followed by Web Service CO (in that order). Consolidate the output param of File Input CO (which is the File Structure) to the input for the Web Service CO (which is also a structure). I dont think you need to save the file to the local drive. The web service should be able to consume the uploaded file (which resides in the process context).
Thanx,
Mahesh

HT1711 Is buying the song on iTunes buying the rights to use the song in a video

Is buying a song on iTunes buying the rights to use it in a video

No, absolutely not. You are buying only the rights for personal use only. If you want to use a track in a video, you need to 1) get the track from a CD since the iTunes Store disallows any sort of commercial use and 2) obtain a license from the content owner to use the track in a video. There are usually clearing houses for that purpose that handle licensing for the major record labels.

Do I need to buy the Enterprise Suite or just Forms module?

Hello,
My company needs to use the funcionalities that Forms module gives, so we are planning to purchase it. But I'm not sure if it's possible to use its functionalities just having this module, or if we need to buy the Enterprise Suite because it includes the server and other things that are needed to deploy the applications.
Sorry for the newbie question guys. I'd very much appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the advice DadduPandeyLC. I contacted with LCsupport but they could not give me an answer.
The application is not complex, we have a pdf template and data in xml files and we have to merge them to generate the filled pdf files. The problem is that the number of files generated will be thousands, and I know LC Output is prepared to generate batches of many files but they are flat pdfs, not forms.
It doesnt have to be an online app, it will just be executed once to generate all the files. I know LC Forms can merge the data, because I tried it with the trial version, but I'm not sure if there is a way to automate this process for thousands of files.
That's basically why I doubt if we should use this module. Has anyone tried to do something similar with LC Forms?
Thanks

Adobe AIR for Video Wall project - the right tool?

I need to decide whether Adobe AIR is the right tool for a Video Wall project. The Video wall would be one of only 4 installations.
It would need good offline capability.
The application would play back both canned video as well as twitter feeds.
The other option is to go all HTML with perhaps the Canvas element to display video, graphics.
I'm biased towards using Flash, AIR but am open to new ideas.
What are the pros, cons of each approach?

Pros of the Adobe route would be a little more control and reliability. You can easily go fullscreen, preload other videos easily in the background and display them on the hardware GPU decoded StageVideo (with the right video card, almost all of them at this point). Twitter feed loading would have some robust error handling to assure it goes smoothly but if you need offline capability you'll need some canned material for the feeds in that situation.
HTML can go fullscreen but the caveat would be drawing your twitter feed over the video at that point. Because it's fullscreen I don't believe you can have your text over it from a <video> element but you'd need to use <canvas>'s fullscreen and actually mux the text into the video.
The long haul of Adobe's roadmap clearly states video and games are the future of FP and AIR. I've done tons of kiosks in Flash and AIR, many of which just act as a video wall, attracting people to very large screens. I've had nothing but success doing this. I'd only even approach HTML5 if you have some reason to desire to put this on the web, and even then, Flash is still fine in that situation too.

Have I got the right tools?

Hi all,
I need to acquire/buy the following tools for a lot of my network related activities. I need:
1) A tool that checks for cable splits/breaks, DHCP functionality and troubleshoot basic network problems and last but not least should be very portable. Ofcourse this could do other things but this is a minimal scope of functionality that should be supported.
2) A protocol anaylzer.
Upon doing some research I have basciallly outlined the fluke netool device and wireshark (formerly ethereal). I wanted to know if this is a good choice and if you guys have any better recommendations.
Thanks a lot.

For #1 I use the Fluke one-touch and for #2 Wireshark, I am happy with both and used them both for years.

Is SSAS the right tool to replace SAS Enterprise Guide?

I am in the process of studying the feasibility of replacing one of our custom built SAS Data Warehouse with Microsoft BI/DW stack.
I have one specific question that I hope someone here who knows both SSAS and SAS Enterprise Guide can tell me. Feature by feature, in what extent can SSAS replace SAS
Enterprise Guide?
To those who has less knowledge of SAS Enterprise Guide, it is a client app that let power users query against database tables/views and apply various statistical analysis
to the data then output (print/email/save) the result (grid/chart/etc.).
To name a few of these statistical analysis,
Under Describe, there are Distribution Analysis; One-Way Frequencies; and Table Analysis;
Under ANOVA: t Test; One-way ANOVA; Nonparametric One-way ANOVA; linear Models; Mixed Models.
Under Regression: Linear; Nonlinear; Logistic and Generalized Linear.
Under Multivariate: Correlations; Canonical Correlation; Principal Components; Factor Analysis…
And if SSAS along is not enough, what else are needed?
Thanks!

Hi Hommer,
Based on your description, you said that “SAS Enterprise Guide is a client app that let power users query against database tables/views and apply various statistical analysis to the data then output (print/email/save) the result (grid/chart/etc)”. Since
we are not expert about SAS Enterprise Guide, we cannot give you an exact conclusion. However what we can give you is that there are many adventures of SQL Server Analysis.
High Performance.
During cube processing SSAS will pre-calculate and physically stores aggregations of facts. Therefore, when the query is fired SSAS does not have to calculate the outcome from the underlying details but can take the values directly from the stored aggregations.
High Security
You can use the security setting to give end-users access to only those parts (slices) of the cube relevant to them.
Multiple Access/Frontend-tools
End users can use Microsoft Excel as a power full front-end tool on top of the cube. Besides that the same cube can at the same time be used as a data source for SSRS and SharePoint (KPI-) Web Parts.
For analytical applications, performance management, or just about anything with a KPI, Analysis Services is the perfect companion for SQL Server. These are complementary databases that do different things well. Using the right tool for the right job will
make development faster and usability easier.

Hope this helps.

SUBINACL - the right tool for the job?

Here is the scenario:
DomainA and DomainB
Full Trust both ways
Windows File Share in DomainA. Created a windows server in DomainB. Used Quest Migration Manager to migrate users and groups from DomainA to DomianB, keeping SID history. Xcopied files from DomainA server to DomainB server, keeping the permissions from DomainA.
Now, the Trust will be broken and we need to change the permissions from [email protected] to [email protected] Thousands of shares and permissions, so can't do manually. So far I have tried SUBINACL in the following context:
Subinacl /noverbose /output=e:\ntfs_perms.txt /subdirectories e:\Share
and then
Subinacl /playfile e:\ntfs_perms.txt
This changed some of the permissions to DomainB, but removed a lot of permissions.
Is this the right tool to use for this? Is this the right syntax for this scenario?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
It seems like you have enabled the SID history.
Based on my experience, after we completing the migration, sIDHistory should be removed from migrated principals to minimize management complexity. Microsoft has provided a sample script and
Powershell command to remove SIDHistory.
So, please first confirm if the migration process completed or not, then plan to remove the SIDhistory.
How To Remove SID History With PowerShell
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ashleymcglone/archive/2011/11/23/how-to-remove-sid-history-with-powershell.aspx
Before we do this, please backup the system state to making any important change to avoid any risk. After clearing the SID history, please try to run the subinacl command to check if it
works.
Regards.

Creating simple slideshows - is Catalyst the right tool?

I am a photographer and I want to create a slideshow of 100 images or so to promote my business. I was doing this with iDVD and it's simple - but doesn't support HD and has no provisions for a "Ken Burns Effect". I've used iPhoto and it does everything I need, but can't really burn a disk of the slideshow that works on PCs or Macs (that I know of). I am fairly proficient in Photoshop.
Here's my needs:
- drop in a series of photos
- create an order of the slides
- a simple transition between slides (could be just a fade)
- be able to do a manual Ken Burns on each slide (define start position and zoom / end position and zoom). So as that image is displayed it is moving somehow.
- automatically fit the slide duration to a mix of music
- burn a disk of that slideshow in HD (1080p or 720) give it to potential clients - they should be able to pop it into their Mac or PC and be able to play the slideshow just as I created it.
So is this something I can do easily with Catalyst? Is there a tutorial specific for this kind of need? Is there a better app for this kind of thing?

Robert-
If you are looking to create DVD that is viewable on a TV or something that is viewable on a computer? Either way, Flash Catalyst is not the right tool. It might be part of an overall solution, but it might get very messy to develop. I would take a look at what Lightroom might offer, or try asking in a photography forum. They might know a tool that might fit your needs.

Why do i need to buy the same app for each device over and over again??

why do i need to buy the same app for each device over and over again??
and why cant i just pay for the app ones for all devices as long at it is with the same account??
i hate that i have to oay for the same game or app three time one for ipad ones for iphone and ones for mac please do something about that apple..!!!

First, you posted in the Mac App Store forum which are apps for the Mac OS X, not iOS devices.
You do not need to re purchase your apps. Connect your iOS devices to your computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Apps then click Sync
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2 I want to buy iDVD and I Movie, but bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet. Hesistant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?

I'm hesitant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first? They are probably on my Snow Leopard install disc, but I am now running Mt Lion that I bought, and downloaded a few days ago...so I don't want to insert the old OS disc, thinking it might want to reinstall the old OS...

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

I use Pro Logic 9.1.8. and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

Old saying applies here most of the time......
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..

Avoiding the need to reselect the editing tools (underline, highlight, strikethrough) in acrobat x

i have long wished to find a way to avoid the need to reselect the editing tools (underline, highlight, strikethrough) in acrobat x. this was the case in version 8, it meant that you could make multiple underlines etc in a document without returning to the toolbar each time to select the tool.
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
thanks
elias

Bring up the Properties toolbar (Command+E) and select the tool you want. You should see a "Keep tool selected" check box.

Do we need to buy the license from SAP for EACH 'Z'form

Hello
I heard that, we (company) have to take license for the development of EACH adobe interactive form (even though its totally custom brand-new interactive form created from scratch), on individual form basis, is it true? (i know, its free of cost to play around with interactive forms in DEV and QA, but, if we want to move them to PROD, in that case do we need to buy the license from SAP for EACH form individually?)
Thank you

Thats true...license based on end user usage is required for SAP interactive forms. For more information read SAP note number 750784. The license comes in package like per 1000 users one time payment.
