Which is better for a designer/developer?

Hello, I do the following :
Graphic Design
Web Design/Development
Programming (Windows)
Amateur video editor (hoping to be more advanced)
I use nearly all of the Adobe programs all the time
Going to use all the advanced and basic programs I can on Mac OS X (from iMovie to Final Cut)
Become an Apple developer
And play lots of hardcore games (Crysis 3,BF3 etc.)
So should I buy a Macbook Pro (retina) or the iMac ?
I can't afford to buy a Mac Pro since I am 13 and live in Turkey so the money I get from these jobs aren't enough for that. Especially with the high prices here.
I am not a really social person so I don't really care about portability. Which one do you guys suggest ?

Definately the iMac. That is what i use for 3D design and i have never had a problem. Not to mention that iMacs provide a 21.5 or 27 inch screen, which really pays off in intricate graphic design. The iMac has a more avanced ventilation system to cool the system down. The only problem i could see with BOTH of these options is web design. Web design on a 21.5 inch screen must be designed with a 15 inch screen in mind, and designing on a retina display can become tricky when using unit sizes to size things. With either of these options, remember to use the unit "em" instead of "px" to size your elements.

Open GL Vs Quartz - Which is better for 2D game development?

Hi,
I am new to iphone game development. I want to create 2D game. Simple game with objects moving around.
I never used Open GL as well as Quartz. For this game I am planing to study that.
I want to know which is better from OpenGL or Quartz?
And where I can learn more on that?
Thanks,
Ganesh Pisal

I would recommend against OpenGL for a 2D game. Quartz does a lot of work to avoid updating parts of the screen that haven't changed, something OpenGL doesn't do. The iPhone's implementation of OpenGL has other serious performance issues.

Which is better for iOS Game Development, Pro or Air?

I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Air. But I want to know which of Pro or Air is good for programming iOS apps. Or maybe Games.
-Is the new 2013 MacBook Air 13" good enough to develop 2D or 3D games for iOS devices?
-Or the Pro is better?
I want to create games for iOS. But I still don't which Macbbok to choose. A little help please? Thanks.

All current Mac, including the Air will run Xcode. The question is what else will you be running at the same time.
If money is an issue, buy a refurb'd Mac mini ($550.00), max the ram (16GB $150) and then get the largest LCD you can afford ($300 will go big). Should be USD$1000 or less by the time you get done and you won't have to work on a crowded screen.

In view of the fact that there are numerous applications that run properly while creating a lot of internal heat in a MBP indicates that it does not follow that heat is an inhibiting factor (within designed parameters). Thus my comment is certainly not opion, rather fact. You certainly are entitled to your reply but a third party reader should be be apprised of what the facts are.

all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I
like the GUI much
more than other versions...

Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
Hope this cleart your doubt..

Which is better for servers, Apache or Tomcat?

For some reason that link I gave you isn't working right now, but it was today, weird. I would get Tomcat simple because sun uses it in its examples and recommends it. Here's sun's link then, it's probably more useful anyway. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/

Which is better for newbies?

Which is better for newbies, Jgrasp or Netbeans? I need something that explains errors more thoroughly than Jgrasp.

Here's my code with 3 errors. Now bear in mind that my program has compiled completely and ran correctly up to this method. All I'm trying to do with this method is get the average of all grades in a multi-array. I researched and found some code that was similar to what I needed to do but it's not working out yet. All other methods in my program work perfectly but I can't get this one to compile.
public double getMean(int allGrades[][])
          int total = 0;
          for (int grade : allGrades)
          total += grade;
     System.out.println("Total is "+getMean(grades));
          return total/allGrades.length;
} // end class GradeBookGradebook.java:100: illegal start of type
          return total/allGrades.length;
          ^

Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

The MacBook Pro has higher specifications, depending
on the model, and then CTO additional upgrades.
The Air does not have a Retina display, but has lesser
specs, so that may make a difference. They still offer a
low-end MB/Pro w/ optical drive, w/o Retina; specs vary;
it may work in your instance. You'd have 14 days to take
a new Apple computer back, so keep that in mind.
Good luck!

Which is better for physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

Which is better for a physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

Macbook Air
I cannot see you using strenuous applications to help you with a Physical Therapy Degree.
Have a think of whether you want an 11" or 13".
I'd recommend the 13" because although the 11" is perfect for taking notes in class etc.; when it comes to performing as a desktop and not sitting on your lap, it can seem too small.
The 13" is the best of both worlds. You can keep the portability and the power in one.
Make sure you get a large enough SSD, they always fill up fast with documents and possibly downloaded text books etc.
With the 13" if you decide to create a innovative project or a collection of photos, you can also use more RAM-consuming applications like iPhoto and iMovie, or even Aperture without worrying about freezing.

Which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ??

which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ?? iPad air 2 or d macbook pro?? what abt iPad pro ?? plz suggest one for me plz

Some educational site are behind the times. At times, they require software that isn't available on the ipad. You should visit an apple store and try the educational site with the ipad. Considering that you have an iMac, I'd lean in the direction of the iPad.

Which is better for education iPad or Macbook air?

I am a grade 8 student and I walk around quite a bit in school and I would like to know which one is better for me?
Which is better for school, and no I can not get the discount.
Macbook Air or
iPad
If macbook Air which size and specs would you reccomend?
And if iPad which storage option, white or black do you reccomend?
And should I buy the iPad 2 or the new one.

Great question.
Word processing for iOS is fantastic, but not as good for citations and things as on the macbook air, though footnotes will be preserved.
The new textbook options on ipad are compelling. You should find out if any of your school textbooks are on there by searching the itunes store. If so, ipad is your choice.
They are different categories of products. the macbook air is an excellent computer.
But I guess I feel this way -- why don't you buy a desktop for the home. and an ipad for school? If you feel you can get all of your notetaking, paper drafts etc. done on ipad, then you can use mountain lion (coming out this summer) to keep it all in sync when you go home.
I do have to warn you that I tried taking my ipad to work. If you use google docs at all, you may find some limitations sometimes. If you stick within the icloud universe, (pages, keynote, and numbers), you may be mostly happy.
