What is your opinion about IDEs?

I've heard different opinions about using IDEs like Jbuilder, Symantec VisualCafe, Microsoft J++...
Some people think that to program in java using a simple text editor is a prehistoric and a very hard way and they prefer using IDEs.
Other people think that IDEs are not good tools to program in java because they add a lot of unnecessary code and because you have more control for the code if you program all by yourself. These persons maybe think that the only utility of IDEs is their help.
I would like to know all your opinion about this.
Thanks!

Hi,
I think it depends on the context if one may use an IDE or not.
There are 3 things to be considered:
1) processor speed
2) application type
3) lazyness
ad 1:
If you want to use an IDE, you must have a powerful processor.
In fact, all major JAVA IDEs are written entirely in JAVA.
So a Pentium 3 or K7 and faster processors are advisable.
ad 2:
When you write servlets or small text based applications with only a few classes, an notepad like nedit for UNIX systems is in fact the best solution.
A huge JAVA program with many screens (SWING or AWT) for instance cannot be easily developed with a small editor. Here an IDE should be considered as a must.
(Unless you are really a hardcore Java specialist)
The same approach can be applied to bean development.
ad 3:
IDE come with many pre-constructed classes and concepts. Developing a client/server or multi-tier application can be an easy task if you spent some money on an IDE.
Other advantages of IDE are built-in tutorials and programming enhancements (when you type the name of an object the IDE shows you immediately all its methods for example). So if you are a beginner or one of those people that thinks that a programm cannot be done without development platforms like Microsoft Visual XXX, JAVA IDEs are a logical conclusion.

What's your opinion about 5800 xpress music

should i get one or not ?

I am a 5800 owner...I will say this much, sift through the many topics in this forum. I have had some issues with my 5800 mostly stability issues. Most issue are mostly annoying and nothing too serious. I will say ditto to the music portion of the phone...it is simply the best in terms of sound. The speaker are loud and pretty clear for a cell phone and when listening through headphones it sounds almost like a dedicated MP3 player, although it could be a little louder. For the money you will not find nearly as many features and capabilities in one device.
Again, the 5800 has some known issues and you can read through the topics to get an idea of what kind of issues there are and remember not every phone has issues. For the money...I recommend it.

It's a good app, here is a recent article where it helped someone recover their stolen Mac.

IMHO, GraniteDS is the most fully implemented open source AMF solution out there (meaning, it's the closest you can get to LCDS without having to shell out the big bucks). A couple things that come to mind are built in support for lazy loading and data push.
The downside is that documentation is sparse, and it's difficult to jump into unless you have had some experience with other AMF solutions.

What's your opinion on the search function on the NI website?

Hi all NI web goers:
I give 1.5 of 5 stars to NI's search function. Most of the times I got very frustrated when searhing NI's website. It returns a lot of entries for my search, but either none of them are relevant, or there are about 10 duplicate links to the same page, and multiply that by the # of unique links you get, well, you get the idea.
So, what's your opinion on the search function offered by the NI website?

Please your opinion about this book

I heard that this book is really good for beginers " How to program in java 5th edition by Deitel" can you please give my your opinion about this book ,.
thank you.

I have Java How To Program 6th edition by Deitel and it's good but i think they could have used a little more plain English in the explanation of java.

What's your opinion on people contacting you directly?

I know this doesn't apply to everyone here, but everyone can feel free to share their opinion.
Since I have provided a few answers in the forum for Business Workflow, and have contact e-mail in my "business card" some SDN users take the opportunity to send me private e-mail asking for advice. There are two situations;
1) a person has posted a question which I have replied to, and the person sends me an e-mail with screenshots (heck, I don't feel confident about how to post those in SDN either)
2) a person sends the questions in private e-mail without having posted the question in SDN
I find situations of type 1) are not too bad, although I still think it is the wrong approach as everyone else gets lost in the discussion. I have only experienced this once, and I then replied in SDN where I also tried to explain what the screen shots showed.
Situations 2) are in my opinion a real disrespect for the ideas behind SDN, my spare time, and/or my employment situation. All such e-mails are consequently answered without providing any help, telling the person to post the question in SDN. (Note: "All" are not hundreds, but I think I have to start using both hands to count them now - and that's during less than a year.)
There are two things I would like to know your opinions on:
1) Would a normal person (i.e. you) cater to such a request (the second kind) in private e-mail?
2) How strongly should I tell these people that they have crossed a line that shouldn't be crossed. Is the following going too far?
<i>> Quoting Full Name <[email protected]>:
> Please allow me to contact you directly with some questions
> [SDN-relevant text/question snipped]
>
No, as everyone who asks this receives as answer. If you have a question, post it on SDN. Not so everyone can see what you are asking about, but so everyone can find this solution. Besides, I probably visit SDN more frequently than my private e-mail inbox, and there are other people who can answer the question, so you will get a solution more quickly. Ordinarily I wouldn't have checked it until this weekend now that I am travelling, but since I had to look for some other e-mail I discovered this.
If you want a private advisor, you'll have to contact my company to hire me. That's the deal of SDN - free advice, but only in public.
Kjetil Kilhavn</i>
Happy hacking, and let the Debate begin!

Yep, agree.
I provide my e-mail address in my business cards for three reasons:
1. Personal/private messages
2. Professional messages that should not be public
3. It's the only form of advertising allowed on SDN
The response I usually give people for asking for help offline varies.
Sometimes I respond with questions of my own: could they give me a more detailed spec, how many days of my time they would like, and whether I can work from home as this would affect my rate.
Most of the time however, I have a standard reply handy:
<i>I would like to help but I would prefer this via SDN. This has a number of benefits for both of us:
1. By posting on SDN we help anyone that has the same questions as you
2. By asking questions on SDN you have access to more knowledge than just asking one person.
3. I don't always have time - on SDN there are hundreds of people who can answer your questions so you are likely to get a quicker answer.
There are already a lot of resources out there - far more than I could write about in a whole week, I would suggest going through the excellent workflow tutorials in the SAP help, and looking through the Wiki FAQ https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/businessProcessManagement&
When you have questions, feel free to ask on SDN. But also remember that better questions get better answers, so use the rules of engagement to help you ask better qestions:

Poll : Your opinion about T430s or T431s

Hello Everyone
It has been a while since I decided to buy a laptop and I narrowed my 2 choices to :
T430s and T431s
But yet, I can not decide between these two laptops, The T431s is pretty new and there are not a lot of reviews about it but the T430s has some good and bad reviews . What I like about T431s is the style, and trackpad . But I dont like the fact that the battery is not user replacable.
I want your opinion on T430s vs T431s
I created a poll here : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10Dp05hfFnACGuf0gyBEdGd2eD0LZqMVxEifIEk390uQ/viewform
I really appreciate if T430s and T431s owners respond to the poll so I can make a better decision
I will post a link to the responses later
thanks

This was a questions I asked myself. I originally wanted the T430s because of the fact that one has DVD drive but realized that was not as important as battery life. If you have read the reviews on this forum and others the real battery life on the T430s seems to consistently be 3.5-4 hours. I think the extended battery brings it up to a little over 7.5 in the real world a standar 4 hours battery life was a no no for me as My Thinkpad T43 I bought in 2005 had that battery life . Also the extended battery costs $130 and drains faster than the regular battery. So in a year or two I would have to buy another one. That is when I switchd my eyes to the T431s. I believe it is about 5.5 hours. That is good enough for me because I will a charger near by and again my first laptop had 4 hours and my refurbished Edge (desktop replacment) has less than 3.
I just priced a T430s and added the features that come standard on the T431s (HD+ screen, camera, and Intel wirelesss) the T430s comes out only $75 less than the T431s. And remember you have to buy an extended battery for the T430s which costs more than $75.
Trackpoint:
I am buying this T431s when I got back to school in August. I will say that I am taking a risk. I played with one and the Trackpoint is definitely different. I am not sure if it is something I will get used to or if I will hate it and forced to get a mouse or use the trackpad. After I buy it through the school I will have 5 days to return it. But from a modernization perspective (I plan on keepin this laptop for 4+ years) I wanted something better. I love thinkpads so if this change is inevitable might as well try it now. (I'll let you know if I hate it and switch back to the T430s.
If I were you I would take advantege of Lenovo free return policy they are having. That way you can test out the trackpoint and if you don't like it you can return it with no restocking fee.

Interested in your opinion about PPBM7

Bill and I are working on a new site and a new test. It looks like it will not take much longer and is nearly ready for CS6.
We have invested lots of time in designing the new website and adding functionality and there is still as long way to go, but we are making steady progress. Note that the subscription module in not operational yet, the download file is not up-to-date, the script is not included, etc. but we would like to get your opinion on our progress and hear your comments. Everything now is only based on our PPBM5 results.
Please take a careful and critical look at PPBM6, take a look around the site and consider the navigation, layout, logic, design and - most importantly - how easy it is to find the info you are interested in and the way it is presented. Please be critical, so we can take your considerations and suggestions into account.
After you have looked over this site, you would help us enormously by filling out this survey: Click here to take survey. Note we have only a basic subscription which allows for 100 responses only, so you may be out of luck if you wait too long.

STRONG OPINION - Put Benchmark Results/Detailed Results (full table) by itself and label it "Benchmark Results Table" and move all other items in Benchmark Results section to "Benchmark Results Statistics"
Done.
Benchmark Results/Detailed Results table features don't work at all in Internet Explorer (I have IE v9); works fine in Firefox, but many Win7 users will be using IE
Try with the new template, it may work now. Still some cosmetics to adjust though.
Would like to see new columns in Benchmark Results / Detailed results table: CPU die size (nm), # cpus (like in PPBM5), chipset (i.e. X79, C602, etc.), User Comments (i.e. so DeeDigital could explain why identical hardware went from score of 186 to 149), Disk Comments (i.e. many forum posts focus on where put scratch, projects, media, render outputs, etc.)
That may be feasible when I get the parsing of Speccy.xml completed.
STRONG OPINION - Menu design should be streamlined; This is not that large a site and When "Latest News" "Planning and Building" is up, I see 4 separate menus (at page top, Main Menu on Left, Latest News...All Pages on right, and Planning & Building a NLE System at lower left.
Done.
Suggestions to streamline:
1) Only show "All Pages" for all areas; if you find you must have this level of sub-section, do it with a drag-down box at top and bottom of the section like many review sites do
2) Have all menus at top; this is nicer too when someone wants to print something out
Done.
Need to clearly state what versions of CS the new benchmark is compatible with
Will be done.
Suggest adding a lifetime Platinum subscription option for say $100 or $150; that's the one I would select BTW if it were available
Also suggest dumping the Bronze and Gold options; there too many options for new subscribers
I'm looking into that.
Update copyright to 2013 (i.e. bottom Methodology page)
"Buy a subscription" should be "Select a Subscription" since entry level is free
Remove the "We are volunteers!" banner to be consistent with new paid subscription fees; or, if the fees are purely going to internet fees, etc., explain that somewhere
Done, but working on the template now for the footer.
Font size selector is broken on Buy a Subscription page
Suggest using www.ppbm6.com instead of www.ppbm7.com to reduce confusion (it seems that you also own this domain site)
Will look into that.

Logic Pro X Results; What's Your Opinion?

Hi guy's,
I know the forum is more designed for troubleshooting but as a product owner I think it's a little bit justified.
I'm kind of at a cross road and don't know what direction to go in. Basically I've dedicated my life to music (Instrumentals / Beats) and really don't know if I'm being realistic about it as a career. So after investing in Logic Pro X and other products I put up the results on a newly made Soundclick page. I know most vocal artist aren't in Logic forums so I'm not necessarily trying to sell anything, all I'm looking for is an opinion on my work made with LPX.
A quick reply from you with just the word "Yes" = Being Realistic.
A quick reply from you with just the word "No" = Not Being Realistic.
I also like to check out other peoples Soundclick music so if you have examples on your page or another that have something that mine is missing, let me know what and the Soundclick page and I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply,
I was wondering what style of music is your favourite, to get a better idea of what your expectations were?
Some of your critiques are accurate because they were intentional. I listen to a lot of music and I think that's one of my problems. Meaning - lot's of songs (A-List Songs) incorporate parts that are off timing to avoid a mechanical sound, when you listen to the Master Recording you'll notice the vocalist makes up for it by playing (singing, rapping etc.) into it so it seems deliberate. When listening to a Master Recording with vocals most listeners would not analyze it or notice as long as the vocalist makes it seem planned. I know because as a listener I didn't notice until I heard the instrumental. When hearing an instrumental for the first time without a psychological reference of the vocals those nuances might be harder to accept. Thinking back to those songs when working makes me feel like some timing issues are justified as long as there artistic. I just hope you don't think they were beyond artistic or having a vocalist make up the difference. These are the kinds of battles I have with myself when producing.
As far as the "overly simplistic repetitive" comment, again your critique is accurate. That's another decision that's made from a reference. Many mainstream songs in the Hip Hop and Pop genres are built off of repetitive parts. It's something I noticed from A-List songs and agree with you about. The question now is, how do you maintain conventionalism (repetition) and variety?
If you have the time in the future maybe you can compare some of my beats to a song/instrumental that went 2 times Platinum and is indicative of that repetitive style - Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa ( kind of old now but the style is still prevalent ). Try and judge it from a compositional standpoint ( structure of melody, harmony etc. over time ) as a song like that was processed with thousands if not MILLIONS of dollars worth of equipment. Another Pop example that's a little bit more varied would be Katy Perry Extraterrestrial.
You forgot to let me know where I can check your stuff out.
Thanks again, I appreciate it

What's your favorite Java IDE/RAD ???

I'd like to hear your opinions because I am getting fed up with the one I'm using... I use Visual Cafe v4 and it crashes at least 10 times a day. Not only that but theres bugs with the interaction of different internal windows and the transition between debug/edit modes. I haven't used any of the other corporate IDEs- can someone recommend one for me ?
thanks!

I have tried a couple of IDE's now, but the best one,
in my opinion, is JBuilder 4 by Borland/Inprise.
You can download a free copy of JBuilder 4 Foundation
from Inprise and try it out.
Kind regs,
HjembaekI agree totally.
I use JBuilder 4 Professional in my job, but without the extensions for e.g. db access, and at home JBuilder 4 Foundation.
If you want to join the free downloadable JBuilder 4 Foundation, hurry up, for they are just releasing JBuilder 5, and this has a basic version for about 100$.
Regards,
Hartmut

Need your opinion about Satellite A110-153

Hi,
I??m new here and I??m looking for a notebook. The A110-153 sounds interesting for me.
Could anyone give me more information like reviews what are the + and - of the product?
Also I saw on a website that has this notebook has 2 hard discs. Is this true? I can't find it anywhere (toshiba.com). Also I find this odd, I never heard that a notebook has 2 hard drives or disks.
It??s a pity that this notebook has an integrated video card I think.
What I want to do with the notebook is the following:
- Internet
- Ms office
- working with pictures (I have a digital photo camera and soon a digital video camera)
- A little Photoshop
What??s your advice?

Hi
I have found some pictures of the Satellite A110-153 and in my opinion the notebook looks very nice
The notebook supports Intel Core Duo (Yonah) processor T2050 1.6GHz and you can upgrade the memory up to 4GB
I dont know where you found the information about 2 HDD but as far as I know there is only one 100GB HDD installed.
But I found one disadvantage. The notebook support s only a Intel 945GM 8-128 MB shared memory graphic card.
But dont worry, Its strong enough for working with picture and MS office applications.

What is your opinion about IDEs?
