Recommend web development app

Hi All,
Though I have an aging G3 iMac, I don't really consider myself a Mac guy. I run a design and development studio and run all PC's. My computers are getting near to end of life and I have to start investing in new hardware and would like to do a slow switchover to Mac's.
The one thing that has stood in my way is that I use a product called HomeSite for web development and encourage my employees to do the same. It's a true html editor in that it's not WYSIWYG, but color codes standard html, php, asp, and javascript (all of which we develop in regularly); and has a full complement of standard tag buttons and allows for custom made ones as well. The color coding may seem like fluff, but HomeSite recognizes standard language functions, as well as custom ones and it can help in coding and debugging. Basically, if you write a PHP variable and don't precede it with a dollar sign, it doesn't change to bold blue and you know you did something wrong.
So, if I can find an editor that has all the functionality of HomeSite for the Mac, I'm ready to switch. However, I'm not having much luck in finding an app. On Linux, there's Quanta for the KDE desktop, which is customizable and would probably work. Is it possible to get a KDE app running on X?
Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice on where to look for editors and recommendations.
Thanks,
Steve

theKompany.com sells Quanta GOLD for mac.

I have successfully transitioned to Mac. I use Zend Studio for (X)HTML/PHP/MySQL development. I know you can run X11 apps but not sure if you can run Quanta.

Pro web development app?

Hi all,
I see that Apple has pro photo, video, and audio applications. What about pro a web site development app? Is there a DreamWeaver CS3 like app from Apple? Yes, I know there is a version of DW CS3 for OSX. But is DW my only choice?
I'll be buying a Mac Pro in a couple of months. I plan to get Aperture (hopefully v2 if released) with it. I've been using DW under WinXP since v5 and really like the product. Currently, I am using DW8. Instead of upgrading to the Windows version of DW CS3, I plan to upgrade to the OSX version.
Right now, I am checking my options. Aperture integration would be nice. What do Mac users use for professional web site development?
Thanks,
Steven

While DW is the usual choice given its wide popularity among both Windows and OSX users, there are other choices. Perhaps the most comprehensive Mac only product is Freeway by softpress.com. It is a British product, generally good. It has PHP integration at least to some extent. I've used it and find it generally works well. Apple does not have a web page creation app.

HTML5 Web/Mobile App Development

Hi Friends,
Can anyone say what are the combinations available in html5 web/mobile app development like html5+JS ?

Here we will discuss the basics of HTML5 document. Today HTML5 is one of the most exciting buzz in web circles. Actaully HTML5 is the new standard for HTML.
it is still a work in progress. However, the major browsers support many of the new HTML5 elements and APIs but not all.
Rules for HTML5:
New features of HTML5 should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
Reduce the need for external plugins (like Flash)
Better error handling
More markup to replace scripting
HTML5 should be device independent
The development process should be visible to the public

Deployment of Flex app to web and app server

Hi
I'm working on putting a Flex front-end on an existing J2EE
app which gets deployed as an ear file. The architecture consists
of web server, app server and database server. Is the following
approach to deployment possible / recommended?
My Flex app will be deployed to the web server. The J2EE ear
file will be deployed to the app server (Weblogic). BlazeDS will be
bundled within the ear file as a war file. Remote Objects will be
configured in my BlazeDS configuration files to enable me to access
the code in my J2EE app. In the compiler options of my Flex app,
I'll be setting the server root folder and server root URL to point
to the BlazeDS war file on my app server.
At present I'm at the stage where I can run my Flex app
directly from Flex builder on my development PC and it's able to
connect tto the J2EE app, which is running on the app server
(Weblogic) also on my development PC. I can't find documentation
explaining how to extend this to work on a multi-tier architecture.
Thanks
David

New to J2EE and web development in java

Hi folks,
I have been developing desktop app in C# for the past two years. But now I am taking my masters and I am learning in Java. I am also interested in J2EE and wanted to develop web apps in Java. The problem is, I am very much confused with the tools, classes and etc Java uses. For example people say to me, you have to know Struts, Spring, JSP, Ant, Tomcat, Apache Tomcat, Hibernate, and etc. I tried to search every one of those and got some clue but not that much detail and now I am really confused.
Before I go to coding (which is my interest), I wanted to know what tools to know and why and how they are used, at least the basics. Once I get some idea, I will keep on searching by myself. Can any body please tell me or give me a link of what tools I have to start with as a begineer web developer? Can any body give me a brief description about them?I downloaded Eclipse and I am almost familier on how to use it and I also write some code on it. These days, I downloaded J2EE, Struts, and Hibernate but I dont know how to use them and where to use them. No clue. Help me guys.
Thank you.

Step 1 : Download "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers". You don't need anything else in terms of tools at the start.
Step 2 : Get solid experience in basic Java development. Make sure you are very comfortable with the language and core API classes such as I/O, collections, etc. Do this in a basic Java project in Eclipse.
Step 3 : Learn JSP and Servlets. These two technologies are the foundation of Java EE web app development. Use "Dynamic Web Project" in Eclipse and Tomcat as your server. For a good exercise, build a web app to manage a catalog of something by reading/writing to a text file local to the server.
Step 4 : Learn JPA. This is the standard for modern Java database access. Make sure you learn JPA standard rather than a specific implementation like Hibernate. In fact, since you are asking on an Oracle site, I would recommend EclipseLink implementation of JPA rather than Hibernate. For an exercise take your app from Step 3 and make it use a database instead of a file. Use MySQL as your database.
By the time you get this far you will have a good foundational knowledge of Java EE web development. Where you go from here will depend on your interests. If you are more interested in the web tier, you can learn some of the higher-level front-end technologies such as JSF or Struts that make it easier to build very large apps. If your interests are more in middle tier and scalability, start learning EJBs. Don't bother learning Ant or Maven unless your interests are specifically in build systems and release engineering. You don't need to know Ant/Maven to build/run/export Java EE applications in Eclipse.
Good luck!

How to give a web developer access to WebServer folder only

Good moring!
Sorry about the noob question and if we're in the wrong area, but we just hired a web developer to create a database driven website as we currently serve static web pages and are accustomed to building/updating regular html pages that frustrate us because we waste a lot of time updating indvidual pages...
We've tried googling this topic without a clear understanding of how to get what needs to be done. Anywho, our question is actually two-fold and any help is truly, truly appreciated!
1. How do we set up a user account in the Workgroup Manager with privileges to read and write & have ftp access to the WebServer directory only and not admin the entire server box?
2. We're guessing the user needs access to other areas and apps on the server like mysql...what are the steps required to accomplish this as well?
Thank you all for your time!
Roland

Assuming that you've created the account for your web developer (web_developer for example), here's what you'd need to do:
1. If you use service ACLs, ensure that web_developer is either allowed to access FTP and Web services or that he/she is a member of a group that has access to those services. (Service ACLs are off by default.)
2. For the FTP server, you need to define a behavior. You can either share the FTP root and share points, users' home directories and share points or home directories only. I'd recommend FTP root and share points unless you have a reason not to do so. By default, your FTP root is stored in /Library/FTP Server, and symbolic links will be created there to point to share points that you've chosen to share via FTP.
3. For the Web service, you must define a site root. By default this is /Library/WebServer/Documents.
4. Assuming that you're using the default site root, here's what to do:
a. In Workgroup Manager, make /Library/WebServer/Documents a share point, enabling FTP Access in the Protocols tab.
b. Ensure that your other share points are not shared via FTP unless you want them to be.
c. Add an ACL entry for web_developer or a group that contains this account for the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder. The entry should allow read and write, with full inheritance. Ensure that the user www at least has read privileges to the site root.

Recommended iOS developer courses

Hello,
I'm interested in learning how to develop iOS applications and I wondered if anyone here could recommend courses in the UK (London).
I've heard Amsys offer good courses and certification schemes for Mac OSX. How good are they when it comes to iOS training?
The Amsys one I'm talking about is: http://www.amsys.co.uk/course/learn-ios-5-sdk-development/
A bit of background about me...
I'm a web developer, and have been working mainly with PHP (and a little C#) for the past 5 years.
The first language I studied at uni was Java. Although I'm a little rusty with my Object Oriented programming now!
I did one course of C a long long time ago, but that is a distant memory now!
I know C is often listed as a prerequisite for learning Objective C. As I'm quite comfortable with programming in general, so do you think my lack of knowledge about C will be a problem?
thanks in advance!

In my opinion, you have enough programming experience to start right in with Objective-C.
Can't help you with coursework as I'm not in the UK .
I was a mainframe/mini/PC programmer for far longer than I care to remember (decades).
I only knew the idea behind OOP and had never developed an iOS app when I got interested.
It took me a few months to get the hang of it (and with the intro of ARC), I'm happily coding away, finishing up my first iPad app.
Good Luck!

Hostnames with local web development environment

I'm running the latest version of OS X Server 2.0.23 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and am trying to get set up to use X Server as a local web development environment.
When I went through the steps of installing X Server, I used the hostname "jb.local". By enabling the websites feature, and pointing my browser to jb.local, I was able to see the default welcome page, and thought everything was going well. However, I can't figure out how to add additional hosts to this domain (i.e. drupal.local, or wordpress.local) without modifying my hosts file.
Do I now need to setup DNS in the server and set my Mountain Lion client to use it or something, or is there some better way that I'm missing?

When I was installing Server, it guessed the .local extension, (which we are using as the name of our local subnet) but not the whole hostname "jb.local". I added that myself. This machine is not registered as "jb.local" anywhere in our internal DNS.
This confuses me because pinging jb.local correctly resolves to the internal IP address of this machine on our network. So how is this resolving? There is no entry for this in my hosts file, and our internal DNS has no record of the hostname "jb.local".
This hostname was invented during the installation of the Server app, so there must be some communication between this machine, and the server app, that is resolving this hostname correctly, but I can't find anything on it.

Java Signing issues when loading web start app

Hey, not sure if this is the correct place for this - but couldn't think where else to put it...
I'm a bit stuck at the moment and i wondered if anyone could shed some light on my problem, and where I might go from here.
We've developed a EJB3 application that has a web start UI for users to start... The application is developed in Eclipse and compiled and deployed with ant build scripts... When we deploy the application from within Eclipse everything runs smoothly and users are able to start the web start app without any problems... However I've recently tried setting up a Continuous Integration server (Hudson) for us to test new deploys on and for this our build scripts need to be run outside of Eclipse...
This appears to run without a problem, however each time the system is deployed from here the web start application fails to start because web start cannot verify the signing in the client jar
Could not verify signing in resource: http://10.39.216.5:8080/mist2/lib/mist2-client.jarAs far as I can tell from the output of the build everything goes according to plan and there is little difference between the output if the build had been started in eclipse... The only big difference is that when building in Eclipse the build only packs up the compiled code, because Eclipse auto build the application, whereas in Hudson the code is clean built using the ant scripts (which are created by Eclipse)... and if I turn autobuild off eclipse and build the project from scratch using only the build scripts then the same problem arises...
I'm not really an expert on jar signing so I can't really guess at what might cause the verification to fail... any hints would be much appreciated. It feels like there is something that the Eclipse compiler does that is missing from the scripts but I can't think what this might be as the scripts are created in Eclipse
Thanks
Alex

Alex,
I believe your problem might be similar to one I had. According to one forum response (of course I can't find it now), if you have third-party JARs in your application (which in your case would be any eclipse jars), they might already be signed by their originators (as are eclipse jars), which may cause some really strange errors.
The solution for me was to package my third-party (that is, eclipse) jars into their own feature, separate from my application's feature. So, my main jnlp file has an extension to my application's feature jnlp, and that feature's jnlp file has an extension to yet another jnlp file containing the list of third-party (eclipse) jars. Of course, your jar list will probably be different than mine.
Here's all three files. Hope this helps!!

Listbox control in Visual Web Developer not working correctly

Not sure where to post this issue. I am developing a web app using Visual Web developer. I have created an .aspx page where I have placed a listbox control on the page and populate it when the page loads. When I select an item from the list the
listindex value is always -1. I can never get the index for the other values. I've used the following code,but get the same results:
For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
    If ListBox1.Items(i).Selected = True Then
        val= ListBox1.Items(i).Value
    End If
Next
val=nothing, listindex is -1 when i check
Any idea how to get around this issue?
Thx

How to setup AutoFill as a web developer for IPAD (html)

Hey all,
This is my 1st post on Apple's Forums. Not sure if i can get web-develment info here on Safari but gonna try.
So I trying to get AutoFill working as a Web Developer across different browser platforms for a contact form webpage.
We are esp interesting about mobile to make it easier to fill out hte long contact page on mobile phones which would improve our website's success.
I got IPHONE AutoFill working on a simple HTML contact form.
But on the same webpage form, IPAD I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the AutoFill working.
My User Agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Ipad: CPU OS 7_1_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.2 (KTHML... Like Gecko) Version/7.0 Mobile/11D201 Safari/9537.53
Here are all the bases I cover for Safari and other browsers:
1. Some use regex on the input name attr. so like an attribute of <input name="firstname"/> or fname,etc helps some browsers figure out the context for AutoFill.
2. Chrome uses a nice context attribute 'autocompletetype="given-name" so dont need to depend on the browser to figure it out via Regexes. also threw on x-autocompletetype maybe if some browsers are viewing it as experimental and decide to implement it as an 'experimental' attribute. This works well for Chrome/Desktop browser.
3. Also added Placeholder text as some places recommended it.
4. The label's text is also named nice if some browsers do a regex on the label text to provide context <label for="firstname">First Name</label> <input id="firstname" name="firstname" /> (dont know of any specific browsers that do this... just saying, all bases are covered)
Here is my super basic form that covers all of those:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36600570/html-autofillform-test/index.html
Yet on the IPAD, I don't see the Autofill button on the keyboard when I click on the 'First Name' input like how IPHONE has it (and yes Autofill is turned on in the Settings->Safari->Passwords&Autofill area, and right below that 'on' setting, I picked my contact to associate AutoFill in which has my name/address/phone/email info).
Why does Ipad-Safari not AutoFill like its supposed to. Do others get that AutoFill button on their IPAD testing the website above and if so, what version are you using (can get version by going to http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/)
Thanks for any advice!,
Ari

Don't think there's an automatic way to do this, but if you tap the top right corner of your screen it should take you straight to connectivity and you can disconnect wifi there ? Also why do you want to disconnect from the web, is it to save battery or data charges ? A 'smartphone' is of little use without a data package !

Call WAPI error in web dynpro app

I write a very simple demo workflow, there is a approve step that call a web dynpro app.
I pass workitemid to my web dynpro program, then It call fm SAP_WAPI_RESERVE_WORKITEM and SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE to comlete workitem programmly.
In SAPGUI workplace ,I receive a message ,then I execute workitem,web dynpro UI page is showed.When I execute approve operation(call two wapi fm above in approve event handler),SAP_WAPI_RESERVE_WORKITEM and SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE's export parameter "return_code" is 1.
But I test/execute my web dynpro program standalone in workbench,all is ok,demo workflow continue.
I have spent a plenty of time for it,help me!
I'm sorry for my poor english .

Thanks for your advice. I am a new one for SAP development.
According to your advice, I use SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE instead of SAP_WAPI_RESERVE_WORKITEM and SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE, I get the same result.
test web dynpro application standalone, it's ok;in SAP workplace ,SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE method's exporting parameter "return_code" is 1.
My code is following :

Navigating from one Web Dynpro app to another not belonging to same project

Hi All,
I wanted to know is it possible to navigate from one Web Dynpro app to another which does not belong to the same project. if yes how.
Regards
Sid

Hi Siddarth,
If you want provide the interaction between two Web Dynpro applications then you must develop those projects as Development Components as DCs provides the reusability of the components created.
You can through these link to find out more information:

Best book for Web Developer learning flash

I've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.
I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I hope this link would be helpful for you books For web developer Using Flash by "William Sanders"
