Where to start in learning about Radio based systems

are they rf, dect, or wifi based phones? I know you said radio based but there is a difference between the technologies.
If they are a truly radio based system, what band do they use, 2.4ghz, 5ghz, a different frequency that was licensed to you by the fcc?

Just curious if anyone had any resources on where to start out on this.
We have a handheld phone system our material handlers use that is radio based. They were working fine for a while but for some reason we are getting a ton of static over the system now. I don't know much about radio systems but I'm always looking for something new to nerd out on and was curious if anyone had any suggestions on where to start to track down the source of this interference and figure out a way to fix it.
Any advice is greatly appreciated

Where to start for learning website design?

Is it better to start with DreamWeaver or Muse for website design that will include a store and shopping cart?
Thanks,
Dave

Muse is consumer level software aimed at hobbyists and non-coders who want quick & easy static sites without much functionality. AFAIK, you cannot make a shopping cart with Muse.
Dreamweaver is pro-level software. It is the industry standard for developing everything from mobile apps & static sites all the way up to dynamic shopping carts. There's not much you can't do with DW, providing you have the requisite coding skills.

Help me figure out where to start learning flex/flash/air/etc.

Hi all,
I'm hoping a few generous souls can help figure out where to start learning to use Adobe programming / application tools. I've read through a lot of the info on Flash, Flash Builder, Flash Catalyst, Flex, Flex Builder, Actionscript and Air – and frankly my head is spinning.
Let me give you some context of what I know, and where I'm trying to get to.
What I know
CS4 - Dreamweaver / Photoshop / Illustrator / Fireworks
Raw html, and some css
Various macro languages over the years (excel - macro level meta-procedural stuff)
Basic database experience (mysql, database design)
Training in procedural languages like Pascal about 100 years ago (ok maybe 20)
Where I want to go
Develop online trivia application
Multiple, simultaneous users
Polished interface (look and feel wise) - 'flashy' if you will
Database connections on back end to serve questions and manage users
At a very basic level it would be similar to those trivia systems you see in bars, like this: http://www.buzztime.com/games.html , but with an educational focus / spin to it.
When I want to get there
I realize this isn't going to happen overnight. I'm hoping if I spend 20 hours a week or so I can put something basic together by the end of the summer. This is as much about learning the tools for me as building the app.
How I need help
I plan to get a Lynda.com subscription to help me learn the tools. The basic problem is I don't know which tools to learn, in what progression, to accomplish my goals. If I'm never going to use Actionscript or Air I'd rather not learn them. So what I need is 2 pieces of advice
For the app I described, what tool(s) would you build it in?
What is a good learning path for those tools?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer, I really appreciate your help!

For creating a web application using Flash, there are broadly two workflows (with different tools to use):
If you are a designer, you may want to start learning Adobe Flash Professional for a more design oriented feel application development:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/
You can start learning how to use the tool from here. You would also want to keep checking our developer network for new articles on Flash.
If you are a developer you would generally find Flex more natural because it allows you to code your application. For this you can use the Adobe opensource Software development kit or Adobe Flash Builder The Flash Builder IDE comes with support for intelligent coding, debugging, and visual design and features powerful testing tools that speed up development and lead to higher performing applications.
For starting with Flex and Flash Builder, you can check out the 'Flex in a week' videos:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/
As you go along the videos you can also check Flex language reference:
Alternatively, you can also use Adobe Flash Catalyst (still in Beta) to design your application. Catalyst will generate Flex code for you. This code can then be imported in Adobe Flash Builder where you can use Flash Builder Data centric features to connect to a database backend.
Learn about Flash Catalyst here:

Want to learn AE, where to start ?

Hello,
I'm new to AE (except for some specific functions as image stabilization and color grading) and I would like to invest a lot of hours to learn how to use it professionally in the main of its features.
Where to start ? Adobe TV ? Lynda.com ?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, but the suggestion comes with a warning....
Take a look at sites like http://www.videocopilot.net/
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxsKNPS0WLQ (Please note, I am taking a chance with this link, as I have not fully watched it myself - just googled "After Effects Fringe Text" - I am a bit rushed with a deadline, so its the best I got!"
those are the suggestions, the warning is this - Blindly following tutorials can get you a decent result, but learning the "Why" behind the "How" will help you make your own tweaks and additions in the future. Since you say you have the time and will start learning AE, then using these tutorials to get the effect you need quickly, is a great idea!
goodluck

Mac Mini, Synology, Apple TV, iTunes - where to start

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the apple forum. To be honest I am new to the whole Apple thing, being a Windows bod I managed to resist the Apple gravy train for several years before giving in and falling inline.
Now I find myself with an iphone, ipod touch, ipad 2, mac mini and apple TV 4 although not all in use yet... This brings me to my question.
What is the best home setup for sharing?
let me set the scene.
3 years ago I modernised my house and put in cat5e structured cabling throughout, all back to a comm rack in the loft. at the time I set up a powerful quad core server. I used to run my own AD domain, Exchange server (don't ask). Now the server runs Windows 7 professional with 8 HDDs running raid 5 mainly running windows media centre and I was using my xbox 360s as extenders. The view was to use Xbox's around the house to access my media. Never quite got there and things have moved on again.
After running the big Windows beast 24x7 for about 18 months I wanted to scale down again, improve data resillience and provide a simple user interface for my other half.
So after doing some initial web trawling armed and dangerous with a very small amount of knowledge and realising that I already had an amount of Apple kit to contribute towards an iTunes based mulitroom solution. The red mist came down and with credit card in hand I did some retail therapy. Not the female handbag and shoes type but the proper male tech kind.
I already had
1 x ipod touch 64GB
1 x iphone 4 32GB
1 x ipad 2 64GB wifi
And to complement the set I now have;
1 x i5 2.7GHZ, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD Mac mini (this is the latest version which I upgraded to 2 x 1TB internal drives)
1 x 4th gen apple TV
and non Apple kit
1 x Synology DS212+ with 8TB storage raid 0
1 x Onkyo TX-NR515 AV receiver
So now comes to the ask. How best to use all of this over my home wired network?
I'm thinking I will use iTunes, I want to have some form of data backup between the Synology and the Mac mini (I want to shut down my windows server)
I also want to be able to control it all from the ipad/ipod and push media (audio and video) around the house.
The mac mini is currently plugged into one of my TVs via the AV receiever and the thought was to use the apple TV in another room, and depending of how it goes buy another 1 or 2 for other rooms.
So I have all this kit and not sure where to start and I'm not a mac expert. I know I can't use the synology box on it's own as you need itunes for the apple TVs, I don't know whether to use the Synology or the local Mac storage for the primary itunes library and then to backup to the device is so how (time capsule thing).
I don't want itunes to organise my media as I don't like the way it shuffles files around, so thinking of keeping the media files in a folder structure I am familar with and pointing iTunes at that. I also have a large amount of video files that I will probably have to convert to be capatible with iTunes, but not sure of the best way to do this, if I need to at all.
Sorry for the long waffle. Would be interested in any views, suggestions, ideas or examples of your own set ups. In return, for what it is worth I will let you know how I get on.
many thanks for your input

Great thread all! I have been wrestling with this very topic for several months now. I've read every thread I could find on the topic, asked questions etc but still have not come to a final decision. But I am getting close ... I think.
First, a little background. I am starting from primarily pc household and converting to an all Apple infrastructure. From the Apple world, we already have 2 iPhones and 3 iPads. New iPhone 5 on order and ... today at last Apple has announced the new iMacs. Exactly what I have been waiting for and so my intent is to purchase one each of the smaller and larger as they come out next month and the month after. My router is beginning to show signs of age and so I would also like to move to an Airport Extreme. The PC hard drive housing my iTunes library is nearly full and so I need to move the library to a new location, preferable an external, networkable location and I've been looking at the Synology 1812 for this purpose. So, in the end I have or would like to soon have:
3 iPads
3 iPhones
2 iMacs
1 AppleTV 3 with a plan to one or two more. If they would only add the Amazon Prime app and RF remote capabilities it would be nearly perfect.
2 PS3s and 1 XBox360 but I much prefer the ATV interface for media. PS3 remains the place for the Amazon app because ATV doesn't provide.
1 Airport Extreme
House is already wired and homerunned with Cat-6
Plan to add Synology 1812 with 3 or 4 3TB drives to start and use the Synology Hybrid Raid
Open items or questions for me:
1. Will I have any issues if I purchase the Synology, move the iTunes library from my current PC to it and then remove the PC from the picture once I have an iMac in place? I understand that Apple does not utilize the same hard drive formatting structure as pc but I am not sure this would matter for an external device accessed over a network.
2. What am I going to serve with? I like iTunes and I am used to it. I would like something that works well with the ATV and it does that. Plex seems to have potential but would then make ATV useless unless hckd. All of my music is in iTunes now, including ripped, iTunes purchased and Amazon purchased. I have put many tv shows and some films into it as well, utilizing Handbrake to do so when needed.
3. Synology for storage, backup, redundancy etc but from where do I want to manage media / serve from? I realize I can do it from one or even both of the iMacs. I had been thinking that I wanted a low power, always on solution that would negate the need to have an IMac always on, something similar to the HP MediaSmart Server I've been using at home for a number of years, albeit clunkily. This is where I thought the Mac Mini might come in (once I learned that the Synology iTunes server was really not a true iTunes server). Low power, always on, can be running iTunes on it etc. But this thread and aschmid's comments have me rethinking this. Maybe I won't be shutting down my iMac all that much and maybe it isn't difficult to wake it so that it can address serving duties.
4. How would I address the storage of home videos vs films and tv shows? I don't want iTunes managing home videos ... do I? Still want them sitting on the Synology - right? Did you all create a separate folder on the Synology for home videos? I know there is a default videos folder. there. And are you serving via iPhoto, Aperture or something else?
5. How about photos? I would like my photo library housed on the Synology as well. Is that served via iPhoto or Aperture to the ATV? How are the mutiple entry points addressed? Everyone in the family is taking pictures, videos etc and all of iCloud turned on. How do I insure that a clean copy of every picture and video taken with any iPhone, iPad, digital camera, digital camcorder etc all ends up centrally located and accessible on the Synology without it becoming too manual a process?
Sorry about the long windedness of this. I got on a bit of a roll once I began typing. This has been on my mind for some time and I am happy to have come across this thread.

How difficult to create a user login area, and where to start?

I have a website which I created in Microsoft Expression Web 4. I would like to add a user login area and tie it to an existing SQL database which is updated frequently. I am not sure where to start or how likely I am to succeed. It is for a client's
website, so I am willing (and hopefully able) to learn, but do not want it to turn into a long drawn out project.
I can code in html and css and use java scripts. I don't know visual basic or how to work within the database (it will be provided by the client). I'm open to any advice on how easy or difficult this will be without other forms of coding knowledge, and would
love any advice on the best place to start. I have found some tutorials and downloaded MS Visual Studio Express 2013, since it was coming up as the best program for this.
Thank you for any advice!

You want to create a login in SQL? any way you need one to access the database. You may need to contact your DBA to do it as you maynot be authorized to do it. Use below link to know creating SQL logins/Users.

Start to learn XSLT transformation

Hi,
i started to learn XSLT transformation, but i get the first problems very soon.
Here is my coding :
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
    <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
      <asx:values>
        <EXPORT>
          <xsl:for-each select="BUT000">
            <BUT000>
              <PARTNER>
                <xsl:value-of select="PARTNER"/>
              </PARTNER>
            </BUT000>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </EXPORT>
      </asx:values>
    </asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
My problem is, that the transformation exit on the tag "for-each" and do nothing.
My source is a internal table from type BUT000.
In the internal table are two entries.
Where is my fault?

Anton

From where to start designing logo

Hello everyone I know how to work with flash and photoshop but I am not sure about the good program to make the logo If I want to learn designing logo professionally from where should I start??????????

I could not have said it better my self, you always should put alot of thinking, sketching before ever actually going into the program of choice. ( I would always recommend Illustrator to get most or all of the logo done in, espitially if your ever going to use the logo for print! vector is key! )
- Excellent post!
Re: from where to start designing logo
Very good link!
I
feel that logo design starts long before any sort of graphics program
comes into play. It is done with pen and paper, or perhaps a word
processor, where the concept of the logo should arise from a lot of
discussion and heavy thought. Many questions should be asked, and then
answered, before the first designs are even committed to a sketch. A
logo can convey a lot about a company, and should do so. A lot of
thinking, mostly in words, is where I would urge anyone to start. Do
this homework well, and first, and the rest almost becomes mechanical.
When
the concepts are nailed down, it's time to begin the actual process.
The into PS as a rough, is a good one. One can try a lot of treatments,
to refine the concept. Then, for a usable logo, I feel that AI is the
next step, as has been stated. From there, one has complete control, and
depending on the use at that moment, PS can often help with getting
that AI file into a Raster image. InDesign can also be very useful to
the implementation of the logo.
Again, good article, and thanks,
Hunt

From where to start android programming ?

the question pretty much explains it. i have almost completed java programming. i have completed half of java essential classes from oracle java tutorials but what i mean is which ide should i download and from where should i learn it. for java programming i have been using netbeans and i think it also supports android programming. any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would start from here: https://developer.android.com/training/index.html
This is where I started 2-3 years ago, when Eclipse was the preferred (only?) IDE.
I have no idea if they still base the tutorials on Eclipse only, but if it is so, I would not mind learning another IDE for the sake of learning Android programming.
Advice: do not get too deep into Java GUI programming, because Android does not use AWT/Swing. Most of the rest of your Java background will be very useful.

Where to start in Oracle Apps R12

Hi
I am completely new in Oracle Apps. I have lot of experience in Microsoft technologies (SQL Server, .Net) but never worked in Oracle Apps before. Now trying to learn it.
I installed Oracle Apps R12 on a virtual linux machine for learning. I selected "empty database" at the time of installation (i.e. not Vision installation) and logged in as sysadmin. But now I don't know where to start. Let's say I want to use the Financials module to enter some fake data and then create a report. Where do I start? I searched in Google but looks like none of the "beginner's tutorial" have that info.
Can someone help me or direct me to some tutorial/documentation which will help me to start?
Thanks for your help.

SAP oil&gas - where to start - Any advice on manuals/guides

Hello Gurus
I am new to Oil and gas and intend to pursue this segment for the future. I am an experienced computer professional (10+ years) I am fairly well versed with SAP-MM although experience is limited. I am keen to make a career in SAP Oil and Gas - possibly Upstream or Downstream whichever is possible to learn. I am in the midst of registering myself for a course in Oil&Gas Accounting or Joint venture analyst. I have not found any course for Downstream. With that said, I have even rented a SAP Oil&gas server to practice. The problem is that I need to get some guidance as to how to go about this in a methodical way.
I have started to read the manuals along side the SAP - JVA guide that they use for training at SAP. However, there is no step by step guide/manual provided by SAP to really practice or build in order to learn and get a from grasp of the subject. I have found some configuration steps in the SAP Oil&Gas online help files or MySAPOil&Gas while reading. However, the reading of the manuals and online help is only theoretical. One needs some exercises to be performed in order to get a grasp of what is what. Where to start, what to configure outside of basic set-up and why?.
Would anybody be able to guide me as to how to pursue my goals?.
1. Is it possible to learn JVA by using the SAP training guide?.
2. Is it possible to learn TSW by using the SAP training guide?.
3. Does the system need to be configured and set-up before one can use the SAP Oil&Gas server?. - What specific configuration would be required for Downstream outside of the default configuration after installation.
4. What sort of configuration / set-up would be required for JVA?.
       (I am aware that every joint venture is different - partner, operator, Eguity group and even Equity)
   a. will the creation of company codes be the usual route as in other SAP modules?.
   b. Is there any special set-up or configuration within the JVA menu for this that is in addition to the normal creation of company code and Enterprise structure?.
5. Is there any book or manual that can provide additional information as to how to go about learning this subject in order to practice?.
6. What special requirements are required to learn the downstream module apart from the manuals?.
7. Can one really learn SAP upstream/Downstream in 30-40 hours being promised/provided by most so called training providers in Bangalore/Hyderabad?.
I am seriously looking forward to hearing from experienced professionals. I'd appreciate if contributors avoid one or two line statements as I would like to make the thread more meaningful for me and for others in a similar situation.
Thank you for you help and assistance.
Cecil

Cecil:
each module inside has one sap training module linked to it. I believe the questions you are asking aren't really important when it comes to starting your career path in IS oil. Everything is possible, but to certain extent. You can learn the basic from the training, but to apply that to the business situation, industry experience is needed.
with training guide, you obtain the basic background and knowledge on terminologies. To become an expert, you need the working experience and lots of researching online.
Most times Oil and Gas companies use some of the modules provided by Is Oil, for example, TSW and MAP are common ones. If you have time, start with these ones before you lost yourself in all the modules.
I can ask the following questions.
5. Is there any book or manual that can provide additional information as to how to go about learning this subject in order to practice?.
Training is high cost but not necessary. The training manual starts with IOG follows with three digits, you can do some research and learn on your own. If you can't get your answer by searching online, then pay some money to let professionals lead you into the door
6. What special requirements are required to learn the downstream module apart from the manuals?.
knowledge on supply chain management, especially in Oil and gas industry. that being said, SAP SD&MM knowledge is often associated and required.
7. Can one really learn SAP upstream/Downstream in 30-40 hours being promised/provided by most so called training providers in Bangalore/Hyderabad?.
Define learn. enough to get yourself inthe door and equip you with enough knowledge to explore on your own? yes. enough to teach you enough to handle job tasks? no.
in SAP start up phase, learning is an endless topic, after two years, you are still learning.
Hope these helps

No, you don't need to learn basic programming before diving
into
PHP/MySQL. Dreamweaver will do much of the code generation
for you, but
it is important to have a general understanding of how PHP
works so that
you can customize the code to suit your own needs better.
If you're looking for a book, one you should consider is
mine,
"Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8". Naturally, I think it's
the best
thing since sliced bread, but a lot of other people seem to
like it
(read the reviews on Amazon). The book assumes no prior
knowledge of
PHP, and gives you a basic grounding in the language before
showing you
how to use all the Dreamweaver server behaviors. It also
shows you how
to build some simple server behaviors of your own. More
details on my
website:
