Where to learn

Hi everyone - I'm a Captivate 4 user with no programing background and I'm looking to learn about variables and advanced actions. I'm read all the stuff on the adobe site but I'm looking for something more complete. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello,
I most warmly recommend the Goober Guide of Rick Stone, he showed you the link in his answer. It has a lot of practical examples and tips as we are used to with the guides produced by the moderator of this Captivate forum.
Only as an introduction to variables, not really on advanced actions (I do concentrate on Captivate 5), here are 2 blog posts that could perhaps help:

    How do you learn to paint? You can read every book on the subject, attend lectures by famous artists on paints and brushes and styles and what not..
    None of this will turn you into an artist that can paint. Theory only goes that far.
    And this is as true in performance tuning as in painting. You need to run into that brick wall called experience over and over again - and each time learn hard lessons that no theory can ever teach.
    If performance tuning was that easy, we would have had fully automated tuning software in operating systems and database systems that could detect and fix all our performance woes on the fly.
    Does not work like that.
    Also, performance tuning is many times seen as an "after the fact" thing. Design the system. Code the software. Implement it. Then tune it.
    Wrong. Also does not work like that.
    Performance tuning begins at the very first workshop when brainstorming the basic design of the system. If performance and scalability are not part of that process, they cannot easily (if at all) be made to be part of the final system as a tuning exercise.
    If I need to pass a single fundamental "uber-alles" principle for performance tuning - when dealing with it after the fact (as many of us do), then it is:
    Identify The Problem
    Do not confuse symptoms as the actual problem.
    PS. Performance tuning is also many time (IMO) a situation where you have lost. Why? Because of if the code was designed and coded correctly, then there would not have been a performance issue. If the Oracle architecture was understood correctly, there would not be a problem. Which makes the advice by the other 2 posters so important. Understand Oracle. Understand how to design and code in Oracle. If done well, what is there left to performance tune?

  • Where to learn about viewing video?

    Using my Mac mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running system 10.6.6, I have trouble viewing some live or recorded video Internet broadcasts, but have no trouble with others. One that I cannot view with any browser is broadcast by my Mac user group!
    Ones I can see: YouTube, CNN, live NASA TV, using Flip4Mac to tell QuickTime viewer to view. UStream no joy, for example. Cannot watch NASA videos online but after downloading they play well in QT.
    Where is a good place to learn how to be able to view videos, and why some are available and others are not? I do not find the help files on the Apple site to solve the problem.

    Some of the people at my Mac user group do not like questions from people who do not understand things so I am reluctant to ask any more questions.

  • Where to learn iPhone programming

    Hi.
    I'm totally new to iPhone or any other type of programming and I have never built any application but I really want to learn to program for iPhone in the latest iOS 4 Xcode. I have searched a lot for tutorials but any have the sufficient information or begin to explain as if the viewer already has experience with objective-C for example.
    So does someone knows where can I find good tutorials for people who have never programmed in their lives for iPhone specifically?
    Thanks a lot.

    I would recommend you not to use tutorials but to read books on Obj-C, because they give a more complex knowledge of programming. For an absolute beginner, I'd recommend "Programming in Objective-C" by Stephen Kochan. This book will give you yhe basis of Mac OS and iPhone programming. Then you should read this book: "Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK" By Jeff LaMarche and David Mark (http://www.apress.com/book/view/9781430224594). (btw, there are also some other great books on iPhone programming by these authors).
    Hope it helps,

  • Where to learn JSP

    I need to learn JSP, but I'm not a programmer where should I start?

    That roseindia article is funny. The introduction is OK, but when it comes to real code ...
    public boolean connect() throws ClassNotFoundException,SQLException {
        Class.forName(dbDriver);
        dbCon = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL);
        return true;
    }When does it return false? What's the benefit of returning true?
    public ResultSet execSQL(String sql) throws SQLException {}Passing Statements or ResultSets around as parameters or return types is bad design.
    The code also doesn't close the connection, the statement, nor the resultset in case of exceptions, which causes memory and resource leaks.
    And this is also funny:return (r == null) ? null : r;they explained it as:
    What this statement does is that, if the value of r is null, it returns a null value and if it is a non null value, it returns the value of r. Though this statement seems redundant, it is useful for preventing any errors that might occur due to improper value being set in r.
    So, if r is null, then return null .. What's the difference between null and null?
    The same applies to:return (r == 0) ? 0 : r; Further on there is no clear separation in the code. The "data tier" is spread over the "bean" and the scriptlets. Yes, scriptlets.
    Bad article.

  • Where to learn in-depth info about macs?

    Hey everyone. I'm not only new to the Apple support community but also I'm new to macbooks in general. I'm having a difficult time wording this question correctly as I don't want to confuse anyone.
    I care to learn more than the basic functions of a mac. I want to learn the in and outs and everything in between. If someone could help guide me in the right direction, that would be fantastic.
    I realize this isn't much of a technical issue but I felt that if anyone could direct me, it would be someone from here.

    Might not be in depth but will give you a basic idea on Macs.

I need to make my own TextPane to display text getting from my custom Object.
    can anyone tell me place to learn about the JTextPane and its StyleDocuments and those stuffs. I found sun tutorial but did not help much. Thanks in advance.
