How To Solve It
I am creating a website that is to have a book style layout. So you turn the pages and they fold over. I have this working in JQuery for images.
What I am looking to do is have clickable links on the pages so that I can jump to a page further in the "book" or even to another site.
Does anyone know the best way to go about this or have any examples to help out?
Thanks
Hi there
I'm cs student and we did some unix programming at school, but most of use are using windows os. I have decided to go on ubuntu. Besides installing ubuntu and using it, what book will teach me the "must" things to know about *nix OS?
Hi there,
yet another question for recommendations for a book on Silverlight.
I look for a book that covers the UI and styling and, if possible, custom drawing and graphics. Very important for me is the style of the book - it should focus on the actual programming and not on where to click in Visual Studio to get things done.
Let's take a fictional example for proper usage of the DataGrid control:
Bad: To use the data grid, drag it from the toolbox onto the control. You can change the background color by clicking on “Background” in the properties. To define custom columns, click on columns and edit them in the configuration window that opens.
Good: To use the DataGrid, you need a reference to the blah dll and declare the namespace in the XAML like this (blah), the data model should be like blah and if you want to define how the columns look like, you need to define them like this (more blah). And if you want to do this in C# because you for whatever reason aren’t able or willing to use XAML, this would look like blah.
Bonus points for coverage of topics like how to manage resources (images/fonts) and internationalization. There are quite some snippets on how to do that on the internet but somehow each of them looks like they work but are not a proper way of doing it.
cheers

Hello!
I'm looking for a source of information about Microsoft Silverlight to begin practically efficient programming custom functionality applications. I want to pretend just for now that I don't need any ideologically correct refresher (SL tips, top patterns, VS tutorials :) and etc.). Basically, what I want is a reference kind e-book, where I could find any practically relevant info outlined in a minimalistic manner.
If you do remember something fitting the above description, I ask you to give me a hint.
Thank you very much!
Can someone provide recommended reading, website resources or best practices to follow when programming with C. I am a proficient software developer with strong skills in Java and PHP.
Is there standard libraries these days which people use? Like what spring is to java? And standard design patterns for managing memory or even standard libraries for that fact?
I want to write solid, maintainable C programs.
GO THE RED PILL! :P
My friend and I have both dedicated ourselves to learning the essentials of programming by June of this year from nearly no programming experience.
I have done some research and have come to the conclusion that using the Python language will be the best for us, but I am open to suggestions with good reasoning behind them.
My motives for learning programming are:
Potential Career Path
to be able to create programs that can:
solve problems; entertain, i.e. useful applications and games.
Online college lectures + book (which I am willing to purchase) sounds like a good combination, but I do not know which would be most suitable for me.
tl;dr:
What I would like to find from the excellent people here is the following: a good, potentially best, programming course and/or book that is well structured and uses good pedagogy so that a person dedicated to learn programming may do so by following its curriculum (or use it to develop a curriculum) over the course of a few months.
Thanks!
(I apologize if this type of question is not considered proper etiquette, but I haven't found a consensus on this, and would like some guidance beyond the research I've already done)
I'm looking for an Expression Blend 2 book that includes
best-practices (Expression Blend 2/Visual Studio 2008)
designer perspective (Expression Blend 2)
programmer perspective (interoperability with Visual Studio 2008)
How-To-chapters for Windows Forms developers (how to solve the same problem with WPF)
Could you make a recommendation?
If you could go back in time and tell yourself to read a specific book at the beginning of your career as a developer, which book would it be?
I expect this list to be varied and to cover a wide range of things. For me, the book would be Code Complete. After reading that book, I was able to get out of the immediate task mindset and begin to think about the bigger picture, quality and maintainability.
I am the technical director at a startup, and I will eventually be tasked with implementing a "real" system architecture when we hire more programmers. Right now our clients are small enough, and it is just me, so documented deployments, source control, unit tests and quality assurance servers are non-existent. Eventually I will need to devise a work-flow and architecture patterns for the majority of the work we will do (e-commerce). If I posted an architecture diagram, and asked for feedback, would that be a misuse of the Stack Overflow system? I don't want to get into that battle of "hey, don't ask us to do your job for you", but the reality is that any programmer who eventually moves into this realm will have to figure it out with feedback from other developers. HighScalability.com is what comes to mind when I think about this sorta thing in terms of the knowledge I need. So if this is not the right kind of forum for that, then any book recommendations or white papers you can recommend would be appreciated.
Does anyone know of a good book on the Castle Project?
I'm interested in learning more about any of the Castle projects (ActiveRecord, MonoRail, Windsor, anything!) and searches for Castle on Amazon are a little frustrating with the need to weed out all the fiction and nonsense.
From the preface of the second edition of Kernighan and Ritchie's "The C Programming Language":
As before, all examples have been tested directly from the text, which is in machine-readable form.
That quote threw me for a loop. What exactly does it mean? Was the original manuscript written as a literate program? My first thought was that this book, published in 1988 (original, first edition in 1978) predates literate programming, but now I'm not so sure.
Can anybody shed some light on this?
What is the best book for a student learning about concepts such as NP-hard, NP-complete and P=?NP?
I've already got the CLR but it doesn't really cover these particular topics as thoroughly.
Hi,
I know the AFORGE.NET API has motion detection algorithms, but what would be a good book to learn these algorithms with C# samples (the AFORGE.NET code is complex and not commented enough to help).
Thanks
I'm looking for a book (or other media) which provides an overview of statistics that is both comprehensive (covering all the basic/intermediate concepts) and comprehensible (which, for me, means not being weighed down with unnecessary and especially un-introduced mathematical symbology).
Can anyone offer suggestions?
I own and have read most of this book, a while back. Now I'm about to embark on a pretty large project and was wanting a refresher. Anyone got a recommendation of something similar that has a focus on c#. I know the principles remain, but if only for my readability..
cheers

I work at a company where all the TMs and assistant TMs use Excel for number management, we're not able to use anything else because the computers are locked down (for good reason though I'll be asking IT anyway). The company also has a buy-a-book scheme, can anybody recommend a good book for using Excel and Macros in it?
I'm trying t build a somekind a clone to wordpress and have some problems understanding the functions that are used there. But that's not the problem..
The thing I'm looking for is good book that detailed explains what aspects to be aware of during the creation of the cms and some code snippets or something in that direction..
With best regards
I'm almost ready to use Magento (which is built upon Zend Framework, which i know) and i'm looking for a good book covering setup, config, best practices, creating templates, development, etc.
Do you have any to recommend ?
I found some which look insteresting :
The Definitive Guide to Magento
Pro Magento Developer's Guide
Php Architect's Guide to E-commerce Programming With Magento
Any feedbacks on those one ?
What is the best, up-to-date and comprehensive book on operating systems? Voice your opinion.
I have seen recommendations for Tanenbaum's Modern Operating Systems but the reviews saying the latest edition has many conceptual errors and numerous typos make me worry.
