Please recommend technology to use

I'm planning on writing an app that is web-based but requires a fairly extensive GUI running on the client side. I want the ability to develop something as powerful as a SWING-based GUI, i.e. not just HTML buttons and textboxes. I also need the ability to upload multiple, large files from the client to the server, and will be using some sort of database solution (probably MySQL, though I'm flexible on this).
Can someone recommend a solution for me? I really want a seamless solution that installs/runs automatically without requiring the client to download a bunch of stuff and install/reboot multiple times. Even a regular Java/SWING app would be fine if it could launch automatically from the website. But if there's a better Java technology with a little more web-based integration to make my file uploads work easily, etc., that might be the way to go.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dustin

I was actually thinking about using web start. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need to download some kind of web start client first in order to use it? I was hoping for something a little more seamless, but if that's really my only option, I guess I could consider it.
Just curious, what aspect of JSP doesn't meet my requirements? Can I develop as extensive of a GUI with JSP, and also doing things like multiple file uploads, etc? I've seen some multi file upload hacks out there, mainly using html + cgi, that are so cumbersome to use for, say, 100 files, that I don't consider them an option.
I'm thinking I've seen some Active X stuff that runs automatically, something like that for Java would be great. I really dont' want to go the MS route, because I want portability and support in various browsers, not just IE. But I also don't want to get wrapped up with browser behavior issues, thus developing a SWING GUI is preferable to html buttons, not to mention I don't think an html-based solution has all the GUI features I need (like a tree browser for example).

Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

Hi - I understand I need to convert AVI and MPEG files for use within IMovie 11. I have one particular file that has a watermark stating "Created with Flip4Mac WMV Demo". Can someone please recommend the best program for a novice? Thanks!

Hi Susan,
It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
Do keep us posted please .

I need to generate a still shot from from a video. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase.

I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.

For FREE do the following:
When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause.
Take a screen shot: Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab. Will do the above with just a single click.
If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search. This way, you can find exactly what you want.

Looking for new All in One. Is Officejet as good as Photosmart? Please recommend an All in One.

I have the HP Photosmart C7180 All in One that's a few years old and is starting to give me a lot of errors (mostly ink level errors). I'm thinking about replacing it, because I want one that doesn't use as much ink -- and one that has a bigger scanner bed (at least 11 x 14 or bigger). I'm a budding artist and I want to have the ability to scan in my drawings.
However, I do print a few photos now and then. Does anyone know if Officejets will print decent pictures?
Please recommend an All in One (the newer the better) for my needs.

Thanks! It sounds like a potential nightmare. Does
anyone have a different experience? I'm not
committed to an all-in-one, but it does save space.
If you're willing to take time and effort into the process, HP's MFDs and Brother's MFDs work... mostly. HP has even improved their drivers. It took 'em long enough.
No, I repeat, no MFD I've ever seen has been trouble-free, Mac or Windows. That includes Epson, Canon, HP, Brother, and (ugggh!) Lexmark devices. They all give problems. Not necessarily the same problems, but problems. HPs and Brothers give the least trouble with Epson a close third... but YMMV. I know people who swear by Canon, while in my personal experience Canon devices have been... not so good. But it was a limited sample, and maybe I had lemons.
Most MFDs (that is, everyone but Brother) don't easily do networking unless it's a Specific Feature™. My HP PSC1350, for instance, does not believe that such a thing as a network exists, and is that way if connected to Macs or Windows machines. I can make it visible over the network, but it's a pain.
If you want wireless network printing, get a wireless router (hint: Apple sells something called an AirPort Base Station) or access point which has a USB port and supports putting printers on the network. Note that you'll likely not be able to scan over the network.
There are network MFDs; HP makes some. They're expensive. The OfficeJet 74xx is $500, and it's the cheap HP network MFD. I do NOT own one, so I have no idea how well they work, other than they're HPs... which means that the hardware will probably be excellent, and the software dreck.

Please Recommend - AIO/MFP Printer

Hi,
i'm looking for a AIO/MFP printer that support "scan to email" and "scan to network folder".
the above functionality should not require the printer to be directly attach to a pc via USB/LAN/WiFi.
the printer should only need to be be configured as network printer with a fixed IP, and the above requirement can be achieved.
other than that, it should also capable of fax and scan.
there are 5 users, and monthly usage is around 500 pages & above.
please recommend me relevant models in these 3 categories (if available):
-black & white laserjet
-color laserjet
-inkjet
thanks & regards,
LauCN

Well here's what I've done and learned.
Shane - I should have listened to you (ultimately I did!).
I went out and bought an Epson Artisan 810 thinking maybe most of the problems had been solved. Long story short - printed a test page and one other page and then went dead - so two pages out-of-the-box it became a beautiful black brick. Epson was less than useful on the phone - suggested they would send a replacement in 5-7 days. I got a case number from them, and returned the printer to OfficeMax.
While there I mentioned the Lexmark '05 series - and looked at a couple choices. the salesman was very friendly, says the Lexmark rep had spent a lot of time with them. Ended up buying a Lexmark Platinum Pro905 series multifunction machine, with two paper trays. Was discounted down to $299 at OfficeMax along with some free stuff and OfficeMac bonus dollars thrown in.
Snow Leopard 10.6 drivers were available from the Lexmark website, downloaded those and used them along with the install disc that came with the unit.
So far - I'm in printer/fax/scan/copy heaven! Working great. Only glitch for me so far is the second paper drawer does not seem to be adjustable down to photo paper sizes, basically it's a letter paper sized drawer (I think?). It still will suit my purpose, my plan is to keep my checks in the second drawer so I can easily print out on check stock from Quicken, QuickBooks, etc. - so really that solves my problem.
I did play with some 4x6 photo paper in the top drawer and the quality of the photo prints were very much to my liking.
So thanks for everyone's comments, let's keep our fingers crossed.

I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. Please recommend an address/shipping label program that works with Avery labels. Thanks.

I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. I press print, and the program closes. I press save, and the program closes. I press print and the program closes. I have had an email exchange with Pabel Printer Pro 7, but the best they could offer was to go to Utilities and click on fixed permssions. I have done that several times, and the program still doesn't work.
Can you please recommend an address.shipping label program that works with Avery labels that I can purchase, and that is also simple to use?
Thanks,
Paula

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks). It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch.
A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta. I switched to iBank. I used it for more than a year. It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works". I found ONE feature that I liked: you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back. I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view. Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction). No such help in iBank. Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank. I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either. The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account. (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25 yielded $2,250,000.) Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank. I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

HT202807 I have a MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.3.3 Photos. Please recommend an external drive best for connecting to TC and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD

I have a 13" mid 2011 MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.10.3 Photos. I have reduced apps and files as much as possible so the only thing left is to move the photos. Please recommend an external drive compatible for connecting to my TC 802.11ac and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD which will free approx 15 gbs. of space. I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice. I know the "optimization" is supposed to adjust for this condition but I don't trust that assertion.I only have 2gb free space remaining.

I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice.
If you really only want such a small capacity drive.. what about just buying a 32GB or 64GB USB memory stick.
You should still have a back up to the internal hard disk of the AC TC.
Or just buy a WD Passport.. don't waste your money buying 500GB as it is only a bit more to buy 1TB and a bit more again for 2TB.. For future use if you do buy a USB hard disk buy 2.5" type.. and buy 1TB or if the budget stretches 2TB..

Please recommend a good tool to make JSP page.

Hi, can someone please recommend me a good tool to make JSP page? Until now, I use notepad which I found is not professional.

Hi kvols:
Thanks a lot for your reply. I had used JEditor before I switched to JCreator. I found both of them quite good. I also tried to use CVS sometime back, but got totally confused about it. I will try to search for the other toolkits you mentioned. Just now, I find one named XMLspy from google. Yet I don't know whether or not it is really as good as stated on its website. I will try it out soon.

Would somebody please recommend a good personal budget app for me?

I have researched this quite a bit and even made up my own budget, but I'm looking for something that I can control myself, is easy to use and that is flexible enough for me to add as many different items or categories as needed. It would also be helpful if it has columns and keeps the columns neat and straight. What I'm using right now does not do that and can be problematic. Please recommend something simple for recording cash flow and expenses in a real easy manner.

I need digital outs so I can plug in the signal from my pre-amp, use the A/D convertors on the Audio Interface to make it digital, then send it to my Mac using the best possible means. If I lacked the digital outs, there would be no point in having the thing, as I would only be using the A/D convertors in my Mac anyway!
I was looking at the Hercules 16/24 FW Audio Interface. It seems to do everything I need (plus more), and I can get it for £200. - Does anyone have experience of this Interface? - Is it any good?
Thanks for all the suggestions so far, - keep em coming please

Please speed up Lightroom using OpenCL/GPU acceleration and/or AVX support!

Hello,
for those, who don't look at the feature request site:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/please_speed_up_lightroom_using_open cl_gup_acceleration_and_or_avx_support
Hello,
I enjoy using LR. But there is still one thing that lacks: Performance, especially in the Develop Module and Zooming...
So please speed up LR using:
- OpenCL/GPU acceleration. Capture One pro 6 is doing this. If they can do this, Adobe can also!
- AVX support: Nik Software is using this. Processes got 1,5 to 2,6 times faster than before. So again... if Nik Software is capable of implementing this, Adobe should be able as well!
So, I am no expert, but from what I have read I think it is possible for Adobe.
Would appreciate to hear from other people who have more inside knowledge if this is possible for LR!
Thanks, Adobe for hearing us.
Christoph

Hello Keith,
thanks for the info!
It well might be that OpenCL causes some problems. On the other side sometimes I don't know how good a forum is to measure the problems.
Remember when a new LR Release comes out and the forum is flooded mit posts about the problems? If you just read alle the posts in the LR forum you could come to the conclusion that the new LR is completely unuseable. But in reality I never had a problem upgrading to the new LR version...
I understand your point and it might really by to early to implement this technology in LR.
But I still hope for the other direction: AVX .
I just think that we have the hardware possibilities to improve speed and LR should take advantage of this.
Kind regards,
Christoph

Please recommend a best practices book

Can someone recommend a core java best practices book.
I have read several books and yet when someone says use a tagging interface... I just look at them and wonder what they are talking about.. then I google and find out.. There may be several such terms that I am not aware of... How do I learn about these terms like POJOs etc.. People keep using words like POJOs and then I find out its nothing but a java class object.. but how do I know that?
Someone once said "You know only 5%, 20% you know you dont know, 75% you dont even know that you dont know".. Which book can give me that 75% ?
I know basic datastructures etc.. but when to apply what is what I want to learn.
A book which talks about when to use which datastructure, good usage of interface examples, and best practices that are used in real application production environment. Can someone please recommend a good book like that ? Is there any ? Real cases?

Maybe this should be a different thread but how do
programmers organize folders for projects?
Every company has a common java classes shared by
programmers I presume? That must be located in a
central access place and I am curious how they
organize folders?Folders? Maybe. Version control system, with a "commons" tree? Better.
Have a look at Matt Raible's AppFuse. It's a fine example organization for a project.
As for me, I do something like this:
I build with Ant: http://ant.apache.org
/source is the directory where anything I check out of version control will go.
Under that:
/java - .java source files.
/lib - 3rd party JARs (e.g., JDBC drivers, etc.)
/jsp - JSPs
/etc - deployment descriptors, like web.xml, etc.
/xml - XML files
/xsl - XSL stylesheets
/html - HTML files
/css - cascading stylesheets
/sql - SQL scripts for creating, altering, populating relational tables.

Please Recommend reliable USB Hub?

RE: Please recommend reliable USB Hub?
It seems not all "Hi-Speed-give-me-a-break-where-are-my-firewire-ports-Steve-dangit" USB devices ports are linking up so easily as advertised these days, at least not for me.
1.0_I Am Looking for a reliable USB hub to expand the port set on a Mac Book Aluminum 2.0 13" Recommendations?
Specifically a USB hub that can connect Little disk drives via the USB extractable cable.
Tried a BELKIN Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Mini Hub (Grey zippo sized case with flip-up section reveals extractable USB cable plus extension) no such luck.
Thanks to all who reply

Indeed Apple recommends you rfirst option, which seems best. the 7 port model is just "wild"
The USB spec says that there can't be greater than 4 ports per USB hub, as well as a limit of five hub extension. There's a reason why it's typically 7 (and not 8) ports. It would be possible by making an 8-port USB hub, with one internal hub using two ports for two four port hubs for a total of 8 ports. A typical 7-port model would internally be considered two 4 port USB hubs, with the second hub connected to one port of the first hub. It could make a difference if more downstream hubs are connected (running into the limit of five consecutive), and there might be some differences in the host granting requests depending on which devices are connected to which ports.
As for recommendations - I can't fine it right now, but I remember using an unpowered hub sold by Targus. It was 4 port, but I liked that it had three side-by-side ports along with a single port at the end. The single one was ideal for non-standard sized USB devices like some really wide USB flash drives. I never really assume that the label corresponds to the manufacturer, since there are a host of lookalike hubs which are made by one company and relabelled by others.
One thing that irks me about all MacBook designs is because of the 13" screen they've placed the USB ports really close to each other. It makes it impossible to use a standard sized plug along with something like a USB flash drive. My older iBook had the USB ports spaced maybe 3 mm further apart, which was enough room to insert a SanDisk Cruzer micro.
