  • Does anyone know if apple's one-to-one program would be a good way to learn how to use logic pro or am I better off going to school to learn audio engineering or something?

    Of course going to school would be a good option, but I want to know if one-to-one is also a good way to learn how to use logic pro. Has anyone been through the one-to-one program for logic pro and can say that they learned how to use logic pro well because of it?

    For sure, one to one training, if given by a tutor who is capable, will hand you the means to build up self-confidence  and will therefore let you operate the hard/software in an intelligent manner, instead of going for the trial and error method which has its pro's and con's too. Once you've passed this beginners phase you will make your own decisions intelligently and then you will also start to get experience and learn even from your mistakes. Something like that in theory and the rest is up to you!
    Have a nice day

  • Good resources for learning how to use Aperture's adjustments

    I'm a long-time visual artist who is just now getting into photography. I own both Lightroom and Aperture, and I must say that, for me, Aperture's interface and philosophy are my favorites. I love the way it handles photo organization. I have one problem, however. Being a relative photographic newbie, I have a terrible time with the adjustments. I seem to have a much easier time making good-looking adjustments in Lightroom. In Aperture, I just aimlessly noodle around, make a mess, and undo all my changes regularly.
    I just found the Apple manual on making adjustments. I was wondering what other resources you more experienced photographers used to learn your way around.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thanks I have that one on order from Amazon even as we speak. As an update, I've also found some information on bagelturf.com, and it looks as though Aperture Users Professional Network is going to start a 7-part series on Adjustments in Aperture. That sounds just like what the doctor ordered.
    O'Reilly's "Inside Aperture" site also seems worthwhile. I'm sure you all know about these. I'm glad they're there. I've subscribed to a couple of podcasts as well.

  • What is best method for learning how to use mySQL with Coldfusion?

    I have been using access databases for years with Coldfusion. I have a client that wants me to build an online classroom. I figure it's time to finally start using mySQL, but there is so much info out there, I don't know which way to turn.
    Where do you experts recommend I get started?
    Also, I am using coldfusion entrprise on my system at home. My machine is a 64-bit, 3.30Ghz AMD FX - 6100 six-core processor with 8gig of ram. Can I install mySQL on the machine and run CF8 without any problems?

    How much RAM left on your system? If the computer is strictly for development, then you have more than enough to run ColdFusion, MySQL, browsers, and other development tools.
    For MySQL download the MySQL Community Server and MySQL Workbench. There is also all-in-one package for Windows, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/ that you don't need to download the server and workbench separately. The installation should be straight forward.
    By the way, other CF users may suggest you to use MariaDB (https://mariadb.org/), which is a branch of MySQL.

    Good day!
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by. (edit: Actually they are more likely to frequent the regular Photoshop Forum.)

  • Any good books for learning flash?

    I'm trying to learn how to use flash, and there's only so much I can learn on my own. I looked up some books on various websites, but I don't know which would be the "best" to use for someone completely new to the program.

    I would recommend anything by David Stiller. He posts a lot on these forums and has a great way of explain the why and how of doing stuff in Flash.
    It also depends upon if you are planning on learning code or timeline animation (or both). Chris Georgenes (who also often posts here) is a genius animator and has some good books too.
    For animation through code I recommend Keith Peter's "Making Things Move."
    There are also great on-line tutorials like at gotoAndLearn.com by the amazing Lee Brimlow.
    That should get you started...

  • Suggest a good book for learning?

    Hey, all.
    Trying to get into the automating/scripting thing as I've started a new job that has to do a lot of versions of similar animations/illustrations. I'm no programmer, but have had some success with simple AppleScripts in Illustrator and Photoshop, but After Effects doesn't like to play nice with AS. So I figure I may as well focus my efforts on ExtendScript/JavaScript to work with all the apps, be cross-platform, plus help with my limited Expressions knowledge.
    So can anyone suggest some good books for learning the JavaScript language? I've done online tutorials, which have helped a little, but just a big ol' consolidated JavaScript book, teaching the structure and syntax from the beginning (again, not a programmer by trade) would be best for me. Thing is, 95% of the books I've looked at are focused on web design, which I'm not that interested in. I'll use one if the core JavaScript teachings are well-presented and I can just ignore the web stuff; just don't want to buy a book that I'm only going to read half of and not learn everything I need to.
    All suggestions welcome, and thanks in advance.

    Hi there - lots of resources...
    Look up "eloquent javascript" online for a pdf.
    Javascript - The Definitive guide
    NewThinkTank on youtube
    Codeacademy
    Then it's the scripting guide for the other half.

  • Good book for learning pl/sql quickly

    Please suggest me a good book that covers all aspects of pl/sql in depth.
    Thanks in advance. :-)

    A good book for learning PL/SQL quickly?
    That is not a function of the book. That is a function of your ability to learn and understand new concepts. No book can make you learn "faster".
    Also, even before trying to learn PL/SQL, there are concepts and fundamentals to understand. Specifically:
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Concepts
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/toc.htm]Oracle® Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
    And after that, also have a look at Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects, Application Developer's Guide - Object-Relational Features. Not to mention the SQL Reference and the PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference guides.

  • Learn how to use Powershell with AD, Exchange and Excel

    Hi.
    I want to learn how to script in Powershell to make my life easier at work.
    Now, I'm creating Distribution Lists with cmdlets, and other simple moves, but I'd like understand and use scripts with Excel to make it easier in AD and Exchange.
    Can anyone help me find out where I can learn Powershell with those tools? I've searched google and youtube, and bought books, but I'd like to learn especially about AD and Exchange through Excel.
    I also have another question, I'm trying to collect the telephonenumbers in one OU in AD, and found this cmdlet:
    Get-AdUser -Filter * -Properties OfficePhone | FT OfficePhone,UserPrincipalName
    I lined ut the OU path before -Filter, and used * -Properties Telephones Mobile to find the phonenumber in Properties-Telephones-Mobile in Active Directory. But I'm obviously doing something wrong.
    Could anyone please help me? 

    Hi Wezcomp,
    first of all, you can use Get-Help to learn how to use Cmdlets, by asking them what it is they do:
    Get-Help Get-ADUser -Detailed
    By Adding the -Detailed Parameter, it will explain each Parameter of Get-ADUser and what it does. Then it will show you examples on how to use the cmdlet. Very useful tool,
    Get-Help, learning to use it fully ought to be your first step, as this unlocks your access all other aspects of PowerShell. With that tool in hand, you could theoretically do the rest fully autodidactically (would be frustrating though, since you'd
    like to be able to do something specific right now. Don't worry, we'll gladly help anyone truly trying to learn.).
    There are lots of tutorials out there that can be useful in a general way (I added my own here). But regarding Excel:
    As Fausto said, CSVs are the simple most way to do this. I'd advice against delving too deep into Excel manipulation right now (lots of frustration, little immediate rewards), Csv is your friend. Notable Commands:
    Import-Csv
    Export-Csv
    For example, if you want to create a csv list with user data in it, using your previous example, you can do this:
    Get-ADUser -Filter "*" -Properties OfficePhone | Export-Csv "C:\example\users.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    By the way: FT (Format-Table) is a treacherous command: It displays objects to the console, but it is a dead end where data is concerned! Only use it when you want to check something quick on the console (like whether you got the right data), before
    continuing on without using a Format command.
    Cheers,
    Fred

  • Learning how to use Layout Managers

    The code that is included in this post is public code from the SUN tutorials. I am trying to learn how to use the layouts and add individual programs that were created to each component in the layouts.
    This is what I am exploring:
    I want to have a tabbed layout like the example TabbedPaneDemo located at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html#TabbedPaneDemo. Below is the code.
    In one of the tabs, I want to place a button and report in it. When the button is clicked, I want the report refreshed. Eventually I will be populating an array with data. The report I want to use the example SimpleTableDemo located at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/SimpleTableDemoProject/src/components/SimpleTableDemo.java. Below is the code.
    From what I have learned, you can place a container inside a container. So I should be able to place the SimpleTableDemo inside the tab 4 of the TabbedPaneDemo.
    If this is indeed correct, then how do I put these two things together? I am getting a little lost in all the code.
    Any assistance in helping me learn how to create and use layout managers would be appreciated.

    Before I did what you suggested, which I appreciate your input, I wanted to run the code first.
    I tried to run the SimpleTableDemo and received the following error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SimpleTableDemo (wrong name: componets/SimpleTableDemo)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
    at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
    at java.net.URLClassLoader...
    there are several more lines but as I was typing them out I thought that maybe the code is not written to run it in the command window. The errors seem to be around the ClassLoader. Is that correct? On the SUN example page when you launch the program a Java Web Start runs. So does this mean that the code is designed to only run in WebStart?

  • Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

    Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

    It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things.  By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files.  I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule.  The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac.  That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.
