Are you ready to start developing applications using the new Windows Phone 7 Series? In this article I will explain the tools available today and walk through creating a basic application.
Custom web coding lets service providers to create a highly targeted online surfing session for possible customers. A web administrator which can offer a personal surfing experience must find it much quicker to get repeat consumers and promote future business. Let us face it, not all webpages are made equally.
In today's world, no one takes the initiative to start cultivating something. It does not matter to anyone whether it is for their personal requirements or to meet their business requirements but people prefer hiring professionals to accomplish the same.

My team is developing a new DotNetNuke web application and would like to know what is recommended to setup a development environment with source control and automated builds? We would like to keep the DNN source code separate from our custom modules and extensions source code.
The DotNetNuke Compiled Module template for Visual Studio wants us to store the source code in the DesktopModules directory of the DNN source code and output to the DNN source code bin directory. Is this the recommended structure? I would rather keep the files in different locations, but then it becomes more difficult to run and debug locally as it would require an install of the module for each change. Also, how should an automated build deploy any changes?
How have others set this up? Is there a recommended best practice?

Is there any project estimation tool which gives estimates for web design/ development work? I don't have to calculate Price just want to calculate estimated time.
Just for example, for things like:
Page creation (layout in XHTML)
CSS creation
Content creation (Word to HTML,
including images in some pages)
Bulk PDF upload
PHP Script for Form
Testing all pages
I need like
Items Quantity Time for each task(min) Estimated total (in hour)
PDF upload x 30 = 2 min = 60 Min
pages with images x 30 = 15 min for each = 60 Min
Is there any simple JQuery calculator power with JQuery? Where we can add add/remove custom thing to calculate time? Or any other free online/offline tool
?
I realize that this is a subjective question, so I've marked it as a community wiki. I think that it is pretty specific to programming teams, though, so I've posted it here as opposed to somewhere else.
I'm leading a small game development team (four people) as a side project. We are a disjoint team, with everyone in different places, but we do have some of the mainstays of an organized team.
Source Control
Continuous Integration
Bug Tracking
Document Workspace
Regular Meetings
Calendar / Schedule
How do you keep your small, disjoint teams on-track? I tend to agree with Joel's opinion about when and how to micromanage and know that my team is motivated, but it can be easy to fall off-course when everyone isn't connected in a physical way and doesn't see what other people on the team are doing. Suggestions, feedback, or criticisms are welcome!
Edit: I'm managing the team; I'm not looking for automated tools or anything to do my job for me, just ideas for approach or process that might help everyone feel more "connected" and involved.
OK, so that's maybe not the best title, but I don't know exactly what I want to do, so, please, hear me out.
I've used Windows pretty much all my life although I played with Linux on several occasions. At work everyone does web development with php on Windows using the same IDE and stuff.
I would like to experience the powerful Linux command line as well as test my web apps locally running the Linux version of php, however I prefer to keep using the IDE because I feel that version control, FTP, code completion etc. are helpful to my productivity. Eventually I would also like to dive into Ruby and Python and I hear that they're not really suited for Windows users.
Is running a Linux distro in a virtual machine my best bet? Should I try something like Wubi (Ubuntu running inside Windows)? Or are there any other options out there?
I might be missing something here but am unable to understand the true purpose of link shortener services like bit.ly or is it just a lot of hype!
Truly if you type nyti.ms on your URL bar on the browser it takes you to www.nytimes.com, but still what is so hard in typing "nytimes.com! which is far much comprehensible to read and understand leave alone to remember!
Does shortening URL serve any purpose in web development?
Why should someone want use obscure shortened URL?
Hi,
I'm working as a QA (Software Tester with 3 years of experience) and was thinking of getting some certifications for my career. I already have the ISTQB certification and was thinking of doing SCJP along with MCTS 70-433 certification (SQL Server 2008 Database Development) as the next move.
So my question is this:
1) Who should go for the 70-433 certification and is it worth going for, for a career in QA?
2) What would be a good book to study for this?
I'm just looking for a simple book that is written just to the point and not much bloated up such as technical bibles. Not that they aren't good but they just take up too much of time. Maybe something similar to the one written by Kathy Sierra & Bert Bates for SCJP. It is written in a very simple language and is enough to do SCJP.
Edit: I'm still searching for answers to this.
Thanks.
Hi,
I want to create a simple site for my personal usage. And this only in python based technologies. So I want to get a expert oponian on this topic.
What should i used as platform? I did a search for available options and found Django, grok, web2py and many more of these. Which one a novice use should use? If I choose to use only the basic python scripts then what option i have to work on?
http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebBrowserProgramming. This link on python site confused me more, instead of solving my curiosity about the topic. Please give some pointer to accurate and easy to understand reading materials.
I have got a idea of developing java based web applications using either spring-webmvc and struts. Can I relate Java process to python process for web development?
I'm wondering if its possible to find supplementary development work on line? I have some time available to me in the evenings and I thought it might be good to use it productively. It'd be great if there was a site that I could apply to do some ad-hoc coding for anyone who needs it. Something like 'I need a class that does XY & Z', and I could do that.
Is there anything like this out there? Can somebody supply me with some info? Thanks
I have a question regarding the appropriate use of SQL Server database schemas and was hoping that some database gurus might be able to offer some guidance around best practice.
Just to give a bit of background, my team has recently shrunk to 2 people and we have just been merged with another 6 person team. My team had set up a SQL Server environment running off a desktop backing up to another desktop (and nightly to the network), whilst the new team has a formal SQL Server environment, running on a dedicated server, with backups and maintenance all handled by a dedicated team. So far it's good news for my team.
Now to the query. My team designed all our tables to belong to a 3-letter schema name (e.g. User = USR, General = GEN, Account = ACC) which broadly speaking relate to specific applications, although there is a lot of overlap. My new team has come from an Access background and have implemented their tables within dbo with a 3-letter perfix followed by "_tbl" so the examples above would be dbo.USR_tblTableName, dbo.GEN_tblTableName and dbo.ACC_tblTableName.
Further to this, neither my old team nor my new team has gone live with their SQL Servers yet (we're both coincidentally migrating away from Access environments) and the new team have said they're willing to consider adopting our approach if we can explain how this would be beneficial.
We are not anticipating handling table updates at schema level, as we will be using application-level logins. Also, with regards to the unwieldiness of the 7-character prefix, I'm not overly concerned myself as we're using LINQ almost exclusively so the tables can simply be renamed in the DMBL (although I know that presents some challenges when we update the DBML).
So therefore, given that both teams need to be aligned with one another, can anyone offer any convincing arguments either way?
I still try to make it possible to run my app with root priveleges. Therefore I created two policies to run the application via pkexec (one for /usr/bin and one for /opt/extras... ) and added them to the setup.py:
data_files=[('/usr/share/polkit-1/actions', ['data/com.ubuntu.pkexec.armorforge.policy']),
('/usr/share/polkit-1/actions', ['data/com.ubuntu.extras.pkexec.armorforge.policy']),
('/usr/bin/', ['data/armorforge-pkexec'])]
)
additionally I added a startscript which uses pkexec for starting the application. It distinguishes between the two places and is used in the Exec-Statement of the desktopfile:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/armorforge/bin/armorforge ]; then
pkexec "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/armorforge/bin/armorforge" "$@"
else
pkexec `which armorforge` "$@"
fi
If I simply do a
quickly package
everything will work right. But if I package with extras option:
quickly package --extras
the Exec-statement will be exchanged. Even if I try to simulate the pkexec call via
armorforge-pkexec
It will aks for a password and then returns this:
andre@andre-desktop:~/Entwicklung/Ubuntu/armorforge$ armorforge-pkexec
(armorforge:10108): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
So ok, I could not trick the opt-thing. How can I make sure, that my Application will run with root priveleges out of opt.
I copied the way of using pkexec from synaptic. My application is for communicating with apparmor which currently has no dbus interface. Else I need to write into /etc/apparmor.d-folder.
How should I deal with the opt-build which, as far as I understand, is required to submit my application to the ubuntu software center.
Thanks for any hints and/or links :-)
When programming sites you usually have one set of config files for the development environment and another set for the production server (or one file with both settings). I am assuming all projects should be handled by version control like git or svn. Manual file transfers (like FTP) is wrong on so many levels.
How you enable/disable the correct settings (so that your system knows which ones to use) is a problem for me. Each system I work on just kind of jimmy-rigs a solution. Below are the 3 methods I know of and I am hoping that someone can submit a more elegant solutions.
1) File Based
The system loads a folder structure based on the URL requested.
/site.com
/site.fakeTLD
/lib
index.php
For example, if the url is http://site.com then the system loads the production config files located in the site.com folder. However, if I'm working on the site locally I visit http://site.fakeTLD to work on the local copy of the site.
To setup this I edit my hosts
file and add site.fakeTLD to point to my
own computer (127.0.0.1/localhost) and then create a vhost
in apache.
So now I can work on the codebase locally and then push to the server without any trouble. The problem is that this is susceptible to a "host" injection attack. So someone loading site.com could set the host to site.fakeTLD and then the system would load my development config files instead of production.
2) Config Based
The config files contain on section for development - and one for production. The problem is that each time you go to push your changes to the repo you have to edit the file to specify which set of config options should be used.
$use = 'production'; //'development';
This leaves the repo open to human error should one of the developers forget to enable the right setting.
3) File System Check Based
All the development machines have an extra empty file called "development.txt" or something. Each time the system loads it checks for this file - if found then it knows it is in development mode - if missing then it knows it is in production mode. Since the file is NEVER ADDED to the repo then it will never be pushed (and checked out) on the production machine.
However, this just doesn't feel right and causes a slight slow down since all filesystem checks are slow.
Is there anyway that the server can auto-detect wither to use the development or production configs?
We have a client who has requested a new project with development to be done on a CREON terminal (Spectra Technologies). Can anyone recommend some good resources about terminal and in particular CREON development. Or know of a reputable development team specializing in CREON development. I have done a fair bit of googling / binging without much success.
I have done a little django development but it has all been in a text editor. I was curious what more advanced development tools others are using in their django development. I am used to using Visual Studio for development and really like the intellisense, code completion, and file organization it provides and would like to find something (or a combination of tools) that would provide some of this in the django/python environment.
I have a Windows Server 2012 VM running on Windows Azure.
I want to enable the ability for 2 simultaneous administrative sessions over Remote Desktop. This is permitted under the EULA for Windows Server 2012. This is NOT the same thing as the fully-blown Terminal Services / RDS feature.
In Windows Server 2000 and 2003, multiple concurrent sessions (up to a limit of 2, plus the root /console session) were enabled by default (such that logging-in via RDP without logging-out first would create a new session rather than reconnecting to the old session). In Server 2008 and later it uses single-sessions by default, as this simplifies administration (as most people want to connect to old sessions).
In Windows Server 2008 R2, you can add the MMC snap-ins for Remote Desktop Host Configuration which allows you to re-enable concurrent sessions.
However, in Server 2012, after adding the Remote Administration snap-ins from Server Manager it seems the Remote Desktop Host Configuration snap-in has been removed.
How can I re-enable the multiple concurrent sessions for Remote Desktop for Administration in Windows Server 2012?
I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks and my local Ruby on Rails development environment isn't running straight off the bat, when I visit localhost I see It works! and remembered I needed to start Phusion Passenger, so when I run passenger start it checks all the requisites and fails when it gets to the PCRE Development Headers:
* Checking for PCRE development headers...
Found: no
It tells me to go to http://www.pcre.org/ to download them so I downloaded 8.33 from here which went to my Downloads folder, so I unzipped it, cd'd to the folder and ran:
./configure
make
make install
Then cd'd back to my rails app directory on my Desktop and re-ran passenger start but it's still the same. Tried a new Terminal window but that didn't make any difference.
I must have done this before to get my dev environment working but can't seem to solve it this time.
I also tried brew install pcre but it says Warning: pcre-8.33 already installed.
