Want to learn, need suggestions.

I know a tiny bit of C++ and a little more about VB.NET. I'm not entirely new to programming.
I would like to make some lightweight GUI front ends to a few programs, not that they would be super useful to a lot of people, maybe some, but for a fun exercise in learning to code. I was wondering if there were any good IDEs that have, well, I don't know what the word is, but to visually make windows/forms, buttons, and to attach code to those actions, like Visual Studio .NET(i used 2003).
It seems that the "Glade Interface Designer" might be what I'm looking for. I don't care whether its QT or GTK, but I don't want to get kde dependencies, and really don't want to get gnome dependencies. If I had to choose on looks, I might lean towards GTK, but in the end it doesn't really matter.
Thanks,
Zack

Python is an excellent language for quick GUI development, thanks largely to the libraries available. Qt and GTK both have Python bindings available, but you should look at Qt first for its well-polished GUI builder.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

Need suggestions to learn Oracle Apps Technical Modules

Hi All,
I have done my Bachelors in Computers and Am OCP Certified in Oracle9i ( development). I am having 4.5 Years of experience as a Oracle PL/SQL Developer ( Not completely into Development but am into maximum Application support and some part of Development. Now I want to learn Oracle Apps Technical. But am not aware of the Modules which are helpful to my career. I worked for many domains like Retail, Pharma, Manufacturing and Telecom.
So please have a look into this and suggest me the Module details. So very soon am planning to learn those Modules which are like hot cake in Market.
Many thanks in advance.

Want to try tiling WM. Need suggestions.

Hi there!
I'm sort of a DE/WM hopper, I started with Gnome2, then moved to OpenBox (really really liked it!) then wanted to move back to Gnome, but Gnome3 was out and I didn't like it, so now I'm on XFCE.
As you see, all my WMs/DEs were non-tiling (called floating WM?) WM's.
I learned that tiling wm saves a lot of time by eliminating the use of mouse, and introducing the use of keyboard shortcuts and really speeds up the working process, especially if you are a developer (and I am).
So I need a recommendation for tiling WM that meets the following criteria:
1. I do like to dig in configuration files, but on the other hand sometimes I want things just to work. Hence I need a tiling WM that works out of the box, but gives me the option to modify/edit/make it better/theme is it/whatever in the future (just to clear, not a tiling wm that Ill have to edit config files, compile, recompile to simply make it work on the first run).
2. Something with an easy configuration (I know C, Lua, can edit XML files if needed). I don't want to learn new programming/scripting languages like perl/python/whatever to be able to customize my WM.
3. A WM that can handle dual screen pretty well (I work 99% of the time on my laptop and when I code I connect second monitor).
That's more or less what I'm looking for!
Thanks in advance!

Dude, you have described i3. Try it, it made me switch from openbox and I used openbox for years.
I develop on a laptop and use a second monitor. i3 is developed with multi monitor support in mind.

Need suggestion-abap+bi

Dear gurus,
I need suggestion before learning new module. I did ABAP and having good experience. Now I want to update my skill please suggest me wat I should learn. I want to upgrade my skill only in technical side. Few of them suggested me BI but dont know how good it will be in US market.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Dave

Hi Aasim,
Even the carrer growth in ABAP is very Good.
IN BW project, there is requirement of ABAPer. So if you are BW+ABAP, you will be getting paid more. Your value would be more.
Now, making a shift, even you want to change from ABAP to BW, you need to take some training. Because BW abap is a bit different thatn general ABAP.
The DW experience is not needed very much.but yes, its better to have knowledge in DW.
I'll suggest you to work for 6 months in ABAP and then take a training in BW. Because its more BW than ABAP in BW.
Hope you would have got some idea.
Please revert for any other questions.
Thanks..

I want to learn how to use ActionScript

Where Am I With Flash?
I have adobe Flash CS3 Professional.
I have looked at the tutorials from the 'getting started'
section of the Video Workshop DVD and understood them.
I can do simple things like shape tweening, adding butons
ect...
I would like to be able to start adding script to my projects
(ActionScript 3)
I have almoast never programed before and certanly never
programed with ActionScript
I have an ambition to become a good ActionScript Programer so
I can add interactive flash into websitess
What Do I Want?
To start with, I need to know how everything is set up within
ActionScript 3 (what are variables and constants? How do you
constuct an If statment? What imported events do what? ect...)
I want to learn the above from a book (so I do not have to be
at my computer to learn). It would be nice if the book came with a
tutorial disk but this is not essential.
I have looked at the book from the following URL -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flash-ActionScript-Dummies-Doug-Sahlin/dp/0764508318/ref=pd_bbs_6? ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204548401&sr=8-6
However, I'm not sure if this book is for programing in
ActionScipt version 3 or another version (or for that matter
weather the fact that it is for version 1,2 or 3 matters at all).
One More Thing
Also I would like to know some usefull websites that could
help me besides the video workshop (which I have looked at).
Thank You
Ziggy

Hi Ziggy,
I suggest you take a look at "Learning ActionScript 3.0: A
Beginner's
Guide", by Rich Shupe and Zevan Rosser.
It will give you great foundation and can help you build your
skills
from ground up.
I have just barely read a few pages, so I'm basing myself on
reviews
from friends who are beginning into AS3.
Furthermore, once you've got a good grasp on the basics, I
think one of
the most important part will be improving your skills on
object oriented
programming. There's no better way for that than learning it
with your
favorite language (and AS3 is perfect for that).
I strongly suggest at that point, that you acquire Colin
Moock's
"Essential Actionscript 3" from O'Reilly's. It's a difficult
book but
don't get discouraged, and keep on reading and re-reading the
chapters
and studying the examples until you finally get it.
It will help get your feet into OOP, necessary if you are
serious in
AS3, and I can guarantee you although you might feel
disturbed for not
understanding everything right away, it is only because it
covers the
topics very thoroughly, and you'll end up understanding many
important
concepts by re-reading it over the months/years of your
practice.
That book is a bible (like all previous from the author)...
once you get
to an intermediate level, you'll most likely rarely read any
other
(except for very specific topics it doesn't cover), and you
will often
refer to the AS help to know all of the classes and functions
you'll
come to need, since you'll be fully able to understand them.
Good luck!

Need suggestion to build a Regular Expression

Hi,
I am trying to build a regex pattern to search a chunk of text.
The criteria of searching is something like as follows:
Lets us say i need to search for a string "Number". Here I should be
able find all the possible strings that closely resemble the string "Number".
i,e I should be able pick all the string like
" umber" , "N$mber", " ber", "Num ", "Nu,,er" ..........
Can anyone suggest me a strategy to build a pattern for this.
Thanks in advance,
Pavan Kumar

Thank you very much for suggestion and letting meknow that "it's impossible".
It is impossible if you come here and ask us to do it
for you. We will greatly help you if you provide us a
piece of mind that show you tried something.
Hire a programmer if you can't do it by yourself and
/or you don't want to learn how...I think he meant that its impossible because what the OP specified is not a regular language. Which is true in a sense, but since the OP's language is finite, it is a regular language. However, to do this with regexes you will find that you're fighting the language. I would implement that distance metric, as Tim suggested.

Need suggestion on how to do 3D spinning title animation

Hello all experts,
I need suggestion on how to do 3D rotating title animation. Let me explain what i wanted to do.
The end product is the word WELCOME.
But I want to animate it in such a way that the alphabelt W first appear as nothing from inside the screen to appear in the screen (that means zoom from small to big, is it called zoom out ?). In the process of zooming out, I want the W to have a thickness & it spins very fast along the horizontal X-axis and stops at the screen with the alphbelt W.
Then the whole process repeat with E, and I have WE. It then repeats with L and I have WEL. This whole thing repeats until it forms the word WELCOME.
Any suggestions ? Is there an inbuilt preset for this ?
If not, if I do from scratch, do I need a separate track for each alphabelt ?
Thank you very much.
Cheers.

You would have to build this one from scratch, but it's pretty easy.
Work on the whole word first to get the basic movement, then play with the Timing settings in the Inspector. To have the letters do this one after the other use the Sequence setting. Typically you would set it to the number of letters in your word plus 1 -so your welcome should have a Sequence value of 8. You can of course set it to whatever you think looks best.
Give it a go and let us know how you get on. Don't forget to save your new effect!
Thanks Holmes but where do I find the Sequence settings ?
Thanks

Need Suggestion about JSP/Servlet OR JSF2.0

I am new to Java and working on it as fast as possible. Got 5+ years experience in ASP.NET C#. I have covered basics of Java and now want to jump into web development by making a project by converting one of my ASP.NET project.
I have explored Servlet/JSP and JSF2.0. Want to learn only one from them and put all my energies in it. I find JSF more robust, clean and easy to use with templating etc . I am doing all this so that I cover most of the things to complete one full project and try to find a job as starter in Java.
Now my questions
As a starter job in Java what things should I know?
Should I learn Servlet/JSP even if I am good at JSF (suppose)?
Do companies still need skills in Servlet/JSP or they are adopting JSF?
Thanks

first i would like to asked you one question why you want to change your technology ? you have over 5+ year experience in Microsoft technology .java and microsoft both are programming language .i recommend you if you have 5+ year experience then you do not need to switch your technology . this is one things .but i am sure it is not a big deal for you to switch the technology .
see jsf and jsp both are based on the servlet .main things is that you have to learn servlet first .Why wouldn't you want to switch your technology? Java barely existed when I started my career. If I had stuck with only the language I needed for my first job, I'd have very few jobs available to me now. If one technology was good for everything, then other technologies wouldn't be invented--we would have stuck with the first technology. Different languages have different advantages (and different disadvantages). You should learn what you need for the tasks you are given, as well as learn what you need for the jobs that are available. If there are fewer jobs in technologies you already know, you should learn a new one. Or, you can learn a new one just because you want to expand your horizons, or any other reason you feel like.

Need suggestion

hi....i need suggestion on my problem.i've been given a complete atand-alone java application.my assignment is to make the system,a web-based system so that when we want to make a demo we did not need to bring an installer.just show to from the browser.i thought of using java web start.it's just my opinion.so,i want to hear others opinion......
Tq

Java Web Start is the solution I would choose. You must bear in mind that a browser is not enough to run Java Web Start - the client PC must have the correct version of the run-time environment (JRE) installed as a minimum - which, I think, is somewhere about a 10-15 megabyte installation.
The run-time environment for end-users is best/readily installed from the http://www.java.com site. Click the "get it now" button and away you go!
Alternatively, I think some PCs actually recognise when you've clicked on a JNLP link and automatically check your to see if you have a version of the JRE and download it if necessary - but I'm not 100% sure if this can be relied upon across all platforms/browsers...
I think you can also program your JNLP file as to where to look for the JRE installer (ie: maybe on your LAN instead of www.java.com), but I haven't researched that one yet.

Need suggestion whether to use ATM or MPLS in DSL implementation

Presently i am working in ISP, and we are providing internet access via simple dialup, ISDN and IVS. and now we want to implement DSL i ve talk with few peoples regarding whether to use ATM or MPLS in DSL implementation but because they are solution providers so i think they are giving me expensive solution. as long as i know about this is,whole world is shifting from ATM to MPLS Technology. ATM implementation cost is very high. so i need suggestion from u because you also have practical exposure.

I believe ATM is soon getting obsolete...

Need suggestion for choosing Java development enviroment

Hi Evereyone,
I am new to Java Desktop Application.I need help on choosing proper Java technologies and development tool.
We have an existing CLIENT/SERVER based distributed control system, which was developed in C++(Server side) and VB(Client GUI).Now we are think of migrating the system to Java platform.
Here is the outline:
We want to create web based application that will run on windows and linux (linux on embedded PC).
The application should be able to support 10 � 100 users at once accessing/editing database.
We will also need to create a communication server that will run on web server P.C. that will communicate tcpip to field panels/log to db, as well as allow web screens to send/receive commands with field panels etc.
Could any one give me some suggestion about it?
I am thinking of Using J2SE 5.0, including RMI, JDBC and Swing for GUI. As for field panels, may choose J2ME.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks, zadok .
Actually, I don't have the system requirements neither. All I know is the following outline:
"We want to create web based application that will run on windows and linux (linux on embedded PC).
The application should be able to support 10 � 100 users at once accessing/editing database.
We will also need to create a communication server that will run on web server P.C. that will communicate tcpip to field panels/log to db, as well as allow web screens to send/receive commands with field panels etc."
It is a interview question, which need me to do research and give some suggestions. What I want to know is to figure out what kind of Java technology is necessary for developing this system because I want to make sure I head to right direction.
I know somehow it is hard to give suggestion based on this limited information.
One more thing I was confusing is the server-side architecture.
I need suggestion about sever side architecture:
a. write a dedicated server-side program, which act
as communication server to monitor and control field
panel, also act as server-side applicaiton by using
RMI to communicate with Client-side communication.
b. choose a general web server architecture. Put
everything in server side in Web Server, for example
Tomcat AS container, implementing the Communication
server as Web Service and the request from
Client-side go to Web Server first, then dispatch to
a proper web service.Why did you not include this information in the original question!
Why don't you just use Tomcat?
For your answer, "Why don't you just use Tomcat?", does it mean Tomcat without Web Service will be enough for this system development? Could you give me some detail about it?
Thank you very much, zadok.

Need suggestion on the entire hardware specs for running Oracle VM 2.2.2

Hi,
I need some suggestion on the preffered hardware specs which can be given to a customer, he wants to run Oracle VM 2.2.2 or Oracle VM 2.2.1.
He has already used Cisco UCS with NetApp storage for OVM 2.2.2/2.2.1 and has being unsucessful with lots of issues creeping up. Thus now need suggestion on the hardware spec which is well tested and works fine with Oracle VM 2.2.2/2.2.1 and he wants to run Oracle Fusion Middleware on top of it.
Any poniters to it will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sk

Hi Avi,
thank you for that information !
Yes. But only for the UCS gear that uses the converged FCoE adapters. If you have standard Ethernet/FC adapters, then it should be OK.We do use the "M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter" with UCS. According to you this is an unsupported combination together with OVM 2.2.1, right ?
Now the "Oracle VM 2.2 Validated Configuration Details" shows UCS B200 M1 with M71KR-Q as a valid configuration. Does 2.2 mean OVM 2.2.0 and this is supported, but 2.2.1 / 2.2.2 is not ?
Please clarify since this confuses me.
Best Regards and TIAAny news for me, please ?
