Which is better to learn first, Dreamweaver or Flash?

I just got the CS5 Web Premium. I have to learn several of the programs. Which should I learn first, Dreamweaver or Flash? Thought I'd ask this forum because I want to start out well.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

They aren't closely related, so flip a coin. Learning both at the same time couldn't hurt either.
As far as Dreamweaver goes, that is primarily a tool, one that is more useful to people who have a good understanding of the languages that are involved with web design, and is not really for learning how to do web design if that is your intention. Learning web design requires learning html, css, javascript, php, etc... and learning those really only requires a simple text editor and the drive to pursue them.

Which one should I learn first?

I am becoming an common Oracle DBA and I want to learn RedHat Linux. But I do not know the difference between Redhat Linux 9 and Redhat Enterprise Linux 5. What are they for? Which one should I learn first?

But I do not know the difference between Redhat Linux 9 and Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.RedHat Linux 9 is very oldest brother of RHEL5. While RH9 is public (free of charge) distribution, RHEL5 is commercial no free (of charge) distribution. Redhat 9 was last public (free) release from Redhat corporation, since next release it was called Fedora. Name "Redhat" is used only for Commercial enterpise distribution.
There is not difference between using/mantaining of them. But the main difference is that Redhat 9 has pretty old version of kernel, and other packages and is not supported by Oracle.
What are they for?If we are speaking about Linux then we are speaking about Unix like operating system. So your question is just like "What is Windows for?".
Which one should I learn first?As I said before, there is not difference between using/mantaining of them. But as Redhat 9 is pretty old distribution then use RHEL5. There is also existing distribution Centos which is clone of RHEL. When you install Centos 5 in fact you are using RHEL but with changed logos and texts (brands). But unfortunatelly this clone is not officialy supported by Oracle so it can't be use for production Oracle installations. For more informations and download look here: http://www.centos.org
There is also another RHEL clone shipped by Oracle (and is supported by Oracle of course). You can download it from http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux

Which is better to Learn STRUTS or JSF??

I have a very robust/simple shopping cart application that I want to upgrade.
It currently uses simple bean classes(get/set), action servlets, and jsp for the client(frontend).
I am trying to upgrade small features, for example, adding a Google type results displaying 10 at a time.
first previous 12345678910 next last Which would be better to learn?? Both, or is one better than the other??

well,
there's no better choice.
the technology you should choose depends on many things.
for example, you allready have your application up and running. if you upgrade some part of it to JSF you will probably not be able to deploy/sell your app because JSF might still be in beta.
you should make a list of criteria for your self and try to give points for each criteria in both technologies, sum it up and you will have your answer.

Oracle in RHEL 5. Which one to learn first? Linux or Oracle?

My office uses Oracle Database in RHEL 5. Which one should I master first to be a qualified DBA? the Linux or Oracle? If the answer's Linux, where can I find Linux Tutorial for Dummies since I've never handled Linux in my life before. thanks

Both.
Best way to start is install a VM on your computer and download a Live distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora Core, etc...), install it. While you are playing around with linux in your VM, install oracle on your windows system and start playing around there. The only real difference you will encounter when playing around with the basics of oracle is the path reference to files. It may seem hard to get started but once have gotten to the point where you know enough to install oracle under linux (install apps via YUM or RPM, change configuration, install other daemons or services; IE: postfix, samba, smtp, etc) and know about creating users, creating tablespaces, creating tables/procedures/packages, altering system parameters, creating database links, etc...you will be on your way.
However becoming a DBA is not as simple as just knowing about Linux and Oracle. Since you have not indicated what you do know about this area I will assume a few things. First off when you start working as a DBA, you may not be just running Oracle on Linux, you may be running oracle on HP-UX, AIX, Linux, Solaris, Windows. Plus you will also be expected to know about writing quieries and optimizing queries. There is no magic settings that make databases run fast, you have to know about how they work, how queires are executed by the sql parser (this is where the real performance gains are).
One thing that I have been constantly expected to know (with detail) is oracle licensing. This is a nightmare, and it takes a while to learn about how all the licensing works so you can give advise for new projects that want to use certain technologies from oracle. This is very daunting at first, but as you learn about everything and become more comfortable about using and knowing all of this stuff it will become second nature to you. If you know DBA's (work colleagues or friends) talk to them, get them to show you, you will learn a lot more in less time than learning by yourself.

Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

Hi gurus!
Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
Thankful for advice
Sari

ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
>
but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
it happen at translation time so will it create any
type of burden for my code if i import multiple
classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

In terms of performance which is better?

Hi I have a query ...
I have table t1 which has 1.5 million records .
now ,
which will be a better option ?
Pls note I need to do it at run time from a procedure.
create procedure p1
is
begin
execute immediate 'create table tidup nologging parallel as select * from t1';
end;
Or having the structure and do inserts in append mode ?
say ,
create procedure p1
is
begin
insert /*+append*/ into tidup select * from t1;
Commit;
end;
I knew that a DDL is far faster than a DML .
Kindly let me know if I am correct or is inserting in append mode is faster ?
Regards
SHUBH

Hi I have a query ...
have table t1 which has 1.5 million records .
now ,
which will be a better option ?The one that runs the fastest, obviously.
Pls note I need to do it at run time from a
procedure.
create procedure p1
is
begin
execute immediate 'create table tidup
nologging parallel as select * from t1';
nd;Creating tables at runtime is a bad idea. If you need temporary tables, use Global Temporary Tables.
Or having the structure and do inserts in append mode
say ,
create procedure p1
is
begin
insert /*+append*/ into tidup select * from
t1;
Commit;This would be better than the first option in terms of sensible coding.
I knew that a DDL is far faster than a DML .Oh really? Kindly provide proof of this.
Kindly let me know if I am correct or is inserting in
append mode is faster ?Logically think about it.
1 = Create Table and Insert Records
2 = Insert Records

Which is Better? Mac or PC?

Which is Better?
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hello,
I'm not going to argue that a Mac is better, but I do have a response to:
looking computers and the software is great however
they have major compatibility issues. for example
many websites do not support mac's Ex.
www.aircanada.com
I have never had any problem exchanging documents or viewing web pages with the Mac.
All my document exchanges have worked flawlessly, and work going both to and from Windows PC's.
But, you need to make sure you are using the right program on the Mac if you want to share files with PC users.
As for the website compatibility, the site you provided as an example will work just fine. They just don't want you to know it.
What that website is doing, is running a check to see what web-browser you are using. Beyond that, they are also running a check to see which computer you are using.
So, what you need to do is make sure that your browser tells their website what it wants to hear.
So, in Safari, you can use the "Debug" menu to have Safari report itself as the Windows version of Internet Explorer.
Go to the Debug menu, then pick "User Agent", then choose: "Windows MSIE 6.0".
If the site still won't load, then go to the site first, and perform the selection again from the Debug menu.
Basically, what you are doing is changing what Safari identifies itself as.
Additionally, the website that you listed does list that it is compatible with Mac OS 9.0 or later. So, it should work provided you pass it's checks.
If for some reason it still won't work, contact them since they say that it is compatible with the Mac.
The only sites that absolutely will not work with a Mac are sites that use "Active X" to take over control of your computer or communicate directly with the operating system. Fortunately, those sites are getting rarer and rarer.
The only site I've run across in recent times that uses Active X is Microsoft's Windows Update site (which you wouldn't need with a Mac anyway).
As for enabling the "Debug" menu in Safari, if it is not already there, you can do that by:
Closing Safari
Open "Terminal" which is located at:
Hard Drive --> Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal
Then type the following at the command line:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
If you would prefer an automated method of enabling the Debug menu, you can always download the free Safari Enhancer program which includes a setting for this feature:

Which is better, a G4-450 Dual or a Mac Mini 1.42?

which is better in terms of Sequencing and plug in performace, the G4-450 Dual or a Mac Mini 1.42?

G4-450GHz Dual with 896MB RAM
Mac Mini 1.42GHz with 1 gig of Ram
G4-450GHz Dual gets more instances with plugs, more tracks and performance then the 1.4GHz 17" Powerbook, 12" powerbook and Mac Mini which all have the same G4 processor.,
Today, i took the same 34 track session,
-all 34 tracks have a Logic Comp, Eq, Gate
-and also 8 Buses with Comp, EQ, Gates, Delays, Flange, Phasors, Pitch Shifters, 2 Reverbs (1 long and 1 plated) as well as some other toys.
-Master with Waves Ren Comp, Logic EQ.
-6 esx24 Instruments with high loads ( Harps, Strings, Cellos, Drums and Perc)
-8 Long (16 Bar) drum tracks ( Bass, HH, Snare, Toms, Overheads, Fills, Percussion dubs)
-4 Vocal takes and Dubs (more then 16 Bars long)
-Bass Track
-2 Acoustic stereo tracks
-4 Guitar tracks, dubbs and fills
-4 Slide Acoustic guitar tracks
-4 dubbed effect vocal tracks
AT first, he G4-450GHz Dual choked with 2 errors, then it buffered into the session well and played everything back fine of the same FW drive.
The mac mini got major problems and only performed 28 tracks with the esx24 tracks frozen, and from time to time after heating up chokes again, i had to wait a few minutes before i bounced the session due to overload errors.
Over all, Both have G4 Processors and about 1GIG ram (450GHz Dual is under 1 GIG), but its a clear fact that double processors win, even the lowest 450GHz Dual is still hotter then any flashy fast Bused mac mini, powerbook or iMac.

Coding Preference ..Which is better for memory?

Hey all,
Javas garbage collection is sweet. However, I was reading somewhere that setting some objects to null after I'm done with them will actually help.
(help what .. I'm not sure.. my guess is memory used by the JVM)
Thus I have two ways to do the same thing and I'd like to hear peoples comments on which is "better" ... or will yield faster performance.
Task: I have a Vector of Strings (called paths) that hold absolute file paths. (Don't ask why I didn't use a String[]) I'd like to check and see if they exist, and if not, create them... I'll use the createNewFile() method for that.
Method A -- Here I'll reuse that File object
public void myMethod()throws Exception{
File file = null;
for(int i = 0; i < paths.size(); i++){
file = new File(paths.get(i).toString());
boolean made = file.createNewFile();
if(made){doSomething();}
file = null;
}Method B -- Here I'll use um... "dynamically made" ones that I won't eventually be set back to null
public void myMethod()throws Exception{
for(int i = 0; i < paths.size(); i++){
boolean made = (new File(paths.get(i).toString())).createNewFile();
if(made){doSomething();}
}So when the code eventually exists myMethod, the object "file" will be out of scope and trashed.... correct? If thats the case, then would there be any other differences between the two implementations?
Thanks

There's no real difference between the two. Choose the style you prefer,
although in the first one I'd lose the "file = null" statement since that
variable is about to disappear, and I'm move the definition into the loop
-- always give variables as small a scope as possible, mainly to
keep the logic simple:
public void myMethod()throws Exception{
    for(int i = 0; i < paths.size(); i++){
        File file= new File(paths.get(i).toString());
        boolean made = file.createNewFile();
         if(made){doSomething();}
}

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 in terms of performance

Dear All,
which is better..

I want to know which is betterThere's not enough information for anyone here to be able to tell you.
Obviously the first one "looks" faster, but without knowing the tables, structure, data, indexes, platform etc. etc. etc. we won't have a clue.

Which is better for gaming and why?

Hi,
I was researching budget gaming laptops(around $1000, INR 55000) and came up with two choices.....
1)HP Pavilion g6z-1d00 Notebook PC
http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/A2B39AV?HP-Pavilion-g6z-1d0...
2)HP Envy 14-2130nr Notebook PC
http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/QE295UA?HP-ENVY-14-2130nr-Noteb...
Could anybody please tell me which is better for gaming (main purpose and best performance)?
The HP Envy looks great but I don't know much about AMD Quad Core.....
Also, is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on the HP Envy ( AMD Radeon 6630 to a better one) via a HP centre?
It seems to run most games quite well, but I need it to be able to play new games for at least 4 years more (college), while not factoring in the costs for any possible graphics card upgrade....
Please help!!

Thanks Huffer _ very useful.
I wasn't aware that there was a heat problem with the i7 processors, my dv8 runs at around 42 to 52 degrees, mind you I don't really put it under much load. I use it to play Blu-ray ISO files on my projector and for photo editing (Adobe CS4), it's an 820QM.
I have also changed the thermal compound to ICDiamond and drilled holes in the speaker cover to improve air flow, that made a difference too.
@ abhishekmaha
Don't take my comment to seriously, although I think it has some truth to it, it was meant to poke a bit of fun at you.
Heat has always been one of the biggest factors when it comes to any computer, designers try to make them thinner, lighter and cheaper and those types don't work for gaming very well. They're OK for the occasional one, but not on a regular basis. I believe that if you game on any machine that was not meant for it, you will not get 4 years out of it _ 2 years.
I wish I could tell you different, but I am not going to lie to you.
Heat basically affects 3 things on a laptop, the solder that holds the components on the motherboard, any mechanical moving parts, eg the hard drive, fan _ and the battery. You can remove the battery to prolong its life when gaming.
Heat breaks down the solder over time and the mother board simply stops working as far as the hard drive, it stops spinning because the tiny bearing(s) in there dry out and seize up.
If you don't want to use a cooling mat then prop up the back of the laptop, hanging it over the edge of the table will expose the fan intake, but will block off other vents.
60 degrees is a bit warm too, 50 is better or rather, the cooler the better. What ever machine you get, make a note of what the temps are when you first boot up and when it's hot. The idea is to get an average so you can judge when it is dangerously getting hot.
P.S. Be sure and give Huffer a kudos too.

Which is better for school and notes pages or ms word

Hi have a macbook white and i bring this to school and i want to know which is better to use ms word or pages for notes and school work

If you have used Windows for years and Microsoft Office, then Word will work much better because you will learn to use it quicker than Pages. However, Pages is much cheaper than Microsoft Word, and if you don't mind learning a new interface, then Pages should be enough.
I use Pages for school projects, and there's one thing that makes a difference: create equations. Pages requires a third-party application like MathType and Word has got a built-in editor, so you should consider this

Which is better, FCS or CS4?

Im going to start making videos...
so, i would like your opinions on which is better, Final Cut Studio 3 or Creative Suite 4?
it would be better if the apps:
1. have templates
2. are easy to use (for beginners)
btw,
If CS4, I know that I'll get Photoshop.
But, FCS 3, does it has any Photoshop equivalents?
Soundbooth=CS4
Soundtrack Pro=FCS 3
Which is better?

If you are beginning, why don't you start with iMovie? It's already on your Mac and you can get an idea of what video editing is like. Both Final Cut Studio and Adobe CS5 have a high learning curve, and I wouldn't consider putting either one of them on a 13" laptop.
I really encourage you to consider your requirements & what kind of video you anticipate doing (home movies or are you planning to do commercials for Nike?). What level of experience do you currently have?
