OT: Just some general advise on tools

Hi there.
I have Vista Ultimate SP1, CS3.
Seeing that many hardcore developers as well as hobby web
developers
most here, I want some help, please.
I am a hobby/free time web developer which see developing web
sites the
same as someone playing golf for a hobby. I have about 3
sites with ASP
& Access databases and the rest are all mySQL & PHP.
I need to setup my machine to develop & maintain these
sites. What are
the most userfriendly applications I can use for this?
I have used mySQL, PHP and phpMyAdmin to do my few jobs. I
have used IIS
for this.
I was just wondering what else is available for us
non-hardcore
developers who makes 99% use of auto coding.
Thanx for your help.

Hello,
When you say installation problems, do you mean installation problems with the DB on Solaris, or installation problems related to APEX specifically (if so, what were those problems?).
You can certainly use DB links from another instance to integrate with your LIVE system, however if those applications are going to be 'high volume' (where 'high volume' is a very subjective term), I would probably advise that you consider fighting through the problems and installing APEX into the Live machine so that all the transactions etc happen locally (from the LIVE machine perspective), purely to minimize the overhead of the DB Link traffic and to simplify the infrastructure.
However, of course there are reasons/arguments why people might not want to install something like APEX into their live DB server, so it depends on your particular environment which method is most feasible for you.
John.

  • Just Some General Info. Questions

    I was just wondering how many songs, videos, podcasts, movies etc. are in the iTunes store worldwide. The US iTunes page says 3.5 million but thats only US.
    By the way, I'm posting in the mac section because I own a mac. (for those of you who wondered...)

    Okay, 512MB RAM, is your issue, you need at least 1GB to run OSX with any resemblance of snappiness. Using 80% of your drive is a fair bit, but not bad. Its good to have 10% of your drive free at any given time (the system will at times use about that much for virtual memory, although maybe more in your case since you have so little RAM). You might want to start looking through your files and see what you do an don't need, since you can fill up a few GBs fast in some situations (such as installing new programs, etc.)

    The current iPhones can all download 3.0 when it is released this summer.
    Also in the iPhone plans I was wondering whats included in the allocated data (Web Browsing, Maps, App Downloads, etc.)?
    The data plan would cover all data. It doesn't differentiate.

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

    We're sorry.

  • Aperture as a general photo managment tool

    Hi
    has any one used aperture as a general photo management tool, i mean has any body used to manage 40 gb of RAW photos on their hard drive. does any body has any tip on how to manage large volume of photos using aperture.
    using the vult would only back the libarary photos and i am not sure how i can export photos to clear some harddisk space at the same time be able to access them using aperture.
    is there any web site or books about "how to manage you photo library "
    thanks

    Jeff - I have a PB and have no issues using the external Lacie FW800 with this. What's really neat is once I have it mapped right in preferences on both the G5 and PB, I can go anywhere and still have the most updated records go with me, eg ratings etc. The problem with running dual systems is when you for example add a keyword on one system - it is written within the local system, not in the Aperture library, so it is not in the menu when used on the other system.
    Also, what's totally awesome (although somewhat slower) is when I can't be bothered disconnecting the Lacie from the G5, I simple turn on the G5, grab the PB and go sit in the lounge or wherever. I can then map (through wifi) the Lacie as one of my drives and HEY PRESTO it still works as if it was hooked up (minus the faster speed, as stated above). It maybe slower but less clutter for sure.

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

  • How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

    Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums. How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

    No backup is a huge mistake.

  • Back up just SOME of the music library to an external hard drive

    I want to move just some of my music from my iTunes library onto an external hard drive (reason? the music cannot be got again, but right now I am not sure if I need it all or not).
    So I want to move, say, 50 albums from the main iTunes libraray to an external drive and then be able to move some or all of them back again at later date.
    Do I have to copy the whole library over to the external drive and then delete the albums there that I did not want to copy over?  Or is there a better way?
    And how will I copy back just some of the back-up albums at a later date - is it the normal "Add folder/file to [main] library command from the File menu?

    OK, I don't think I have been making it very clear what I am trying to achieve - let me try putting it differently!!
    I have one iTunes folder and, at the moment, that is all backed-up via SyncToy.  I only have music in iTunes.
    Think of that music as being of 2 types - part A that I want for definite, and all that music is also on my iPod (I have my iPod set to Sync manually with iTunes) - this is probably well over 100 albums; and Part B music, that is on iTunes, not on the Ipod, and that I am not sure yet if I want to have in iTunes and on the iPod or not (this was a load of music copied over from another iPod several months ago) - this might be a further 50 albums.
    So - part A, I want to keep and want to be fully backed-up.  OK, SyncToy does that currently by backing up 100% of iTunes.
    But part B - I want to copy the part B music to a different copy location, and then just keep there the part B stuff which, album by album, I will either delete completely (if I don't want it) OR want to copy back to iTunes.  Once this second copy is set up, I would delete from this copy all the Part A stuff, and also delete from iTunes all the part B stuff.
    I would then have:
    - part A stuff on iTunes, iPod and back-up location 1;
    - part B stuff on back-up location 2.
    So the main question is - from what level in the iTunes folder do I need to copy over to the part B back-up so as to ensure that, when I subsequently try to copy albums back from the part B back-up to iTunes, I get all the information, artwork etc that already exists for the albums?  Do I copy the music file; the media file, or the whole iTunes folder?
    This may sound all terribly longwinded but, for various reasons, I am not in a position to be able to decide all at once which of the part B albums I need to keep.
    Is that any clearer?
    Cheers!

  • I am facing problem zooming and in slide as i think there is some general setting got changed help to rectify.

    i am facing problem zooming and in slide as i think there is some general setting got changed help to rectify.

    If the screen appears zoomed in then try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers (with zoom 'on' you need to use 3 fingers to drag around the screen), and then go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn Zoom 'off', and possibly also change what Triple-Click Home is set to.

  • Just some child in a webform?

    Hi,
    Please somebody of you can explain to me how to display in a webform just some child (not all child) related to member of a dimension.
    Example:
    Dimension: Account
    Member:
    Generation1: Product
    Generation2 : Sales
    Generation3 :
    - Quantity
    - price
    - 711111 (Revenue)
    I want to display in my webform just Sales, Quantity and Price. How can I do that?
    PS: I tried Ichildren(sales) but it didn't work
    Thank you

    Can I assume you have thought about using the Descendants function with missing blocks and data are suppressed? Otherwise, the only option that comes to my mind is to manually select members, but I know it is not ideal.
    Also, I would post this on Planning and Budgeting You may get more responses.
    Cheers,
    Mehmet

  • Just some thoughts

    Just some thoughts.
    Adobe says that piracy is one of the reasons for going to the cloud.  CC has to verify the subscription periodically why not add that process to the perpetual license for a nominal yearly fee.  On the other hand, why can't a user subscribe to CC for a month to get the latest version and then go on the web to get a crack?
    I also own, unless they go to a subscription, Elements 10.  Lots of functions that CS6 has for photo enhancements.  I found some plugins that really enhance Elements. e.g. ElementsXXL adds new menu items, icons, buttons, key shortcuts and dialogs, so they seamlessly integrate into the user interface of Photoshop Elements. ElementsXXL bridges the gap between Photoshop Elements and Photoshop and greatly enhances the image editing experience in Photoshop Elements.
    I am sure other plugins will appear to make Elements more like Photoshop.

    "Adobe says that piracy is one of the reasons for going to the cloud. CC has to verify the subscription periodically why not add that process to the perpetual license for a nominal yearly fee."
    Why on earth would anyone want to pay a "nominal yearly fee" for another nuisance created by Adobe.  They can already shut down perpetual license holder's software if they pull the plug on the activation servers.  Don't you know that their servers check our software now as it is?
    Just recently with the release of the CS2 software to previous owners, many people could no longer use their already-installed CS2 software because Adobe's CS2 servers were shut down.  What does that tell you?
    I'm not going the way of cruising the internet for cracks.  That's for disillusioned kids who think everything should be free.  When my CS6 software no longer works I'm going with another company.  Probably Corel for some of the programs.  CorelDRAW was always better than Illustrator anyway.  Industry standard doesn't always mean it's great.  It just means everyone is using it and they expect you to do as well.  Personally, I think Macromedia made better software before Adobe took them over and MM software was a lot cheaper.

  • How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?

    Hello,
    I am using HttpURLConnection to establish a HTTP connection . The connection pass through a proxy, and it requires security.
    I know that I can set the proxy settings in the system properties, and this works perfect.
    But I don't want to set the proxy settings in the system properties, because this proxy settings will be for ALL the URLs, and I just want for a few URLs.
    How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?
    Thanks

  • Who could you give me some general idea

    hi all
    who could you give me some general idea about that
    developping a web service that may be used for monitoring the performance of the Windows PC on which it runs. The web service will return key performance metrics, such as peak performance,maximum memory, current load, and current available memory. A secondary aim will be to develop a portlet that will provide an interface to the service.
    Tomcat or J2EE web server, JSR-168 compliant portlets, and Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) should be metioned!
    thanks
    with regards

    First of all, if you want to create a chess board, create a panel with a grid layout. The grid layout will carry the number of rows and columns that you need.
    Second, you will have to set the color of each grid alternatively to black and white.
    After you have done this, your chess bord is ready.
    Now...coming to the mouse events:
    You will have to implement a MouseListener and implelemnt the method mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) attached to the container.
    So when you use the methods getX() and getY() based on the MouseEvent e...
    e.getX(); //Returns the horizontal x co-ordinate
    e.getY();// Returns the horizontal y co-ordinateHope this helps.
    Vijay :-)
