Are there any good, free, frame works for a RTS game? Could be as simple as Dune 2 or complicated as War Craft III. I have heard about Spring, loved TA, but feel it may have a steep learning curve.
A few years ago, I did a survey of DbC packages for Java, and I wasn't wholly satisfied with any of them. Unfortunately I didn't keep good notes on my findings, and I assume things have changed. Would anybody care to compare and contrast different DbC packages for Java?
Does anyone know of a good object-relational-mapping library for PHP? I know of PDO/ADO, but they seem to only provide abstraction of differences between database vendors not an actual mapping between the domain model and the relational model. I'm looking for a PHP library that functions similarly to the way Hibernate does for Java/.Net.
Is there a good method of form security that does not involve CAPTCHA? CAPTCHA is so annoying, but I need security because I am getting form spam. My form is PHP.

Whilst browsing through answers on SO I came across something that is, in my view, one of the more frequent software development management misconceptions: "[software development] plan is a reasonably detailed description of all the activities you need to undertake".
Hence the question: what is good software development plan? Can it be boiled down just to a work breakdown structure; is WBS the single most important thing for a software development plan anyway?
Any good examples/tutorials of unpacking JSON strings with the C++ JSON_Spirit library?
Something that can traverse a json_spirit::Value object and pretty-print it would be ideal.

I find myself using Javascript day to day without a solid understanding of the language. There are some great writeups out there about using specific features of the language, but I'd like a distilled, printed book reference about the language itself.
Please list good books that discuss the JavaScript language; not frameworks, usage and quirks.
I can't really explain why exactly, but I really hate the .net DateTimePicker control built into C#.net and VB.net. Is anyone aware of a good alternative to either of these controls which is freely available? I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't like the control.
The date picker in Google Calendar is one which I really like, so I'd love something like that which I can use in a .net app.
I'm preparing a talk on SSL to our local Java user group, and I would like to introduce it with some story on how NOT to use it. I've searched through the DailyWTF archives but couldn't find anything really good.

Does anyone have any tips for getting a good price on new/used programming-related books? I've looked at some of the more popular books (like DDD and GoF), and even used they can be pretty pricey. I'm not saying they aren't worth it, but I feel like there might be a more focused book store or exchange or something just for devs and/or IT professionals that I just don't know about.
Any tips at all would be appreciated.
Are there any good database schema comparison tools out there that support Sybase SQL Anywhere version 10? I've seen a litany of them for SQL Server, a few for MySQL and Oracle, but nothing that supports SQL Anywhere correctly.
I tried using DB Solo, but it turned all my non-unique indexes into unique ones, and I didn't see any options to change that.
Any web sites, books, etc, that have a good tutorial on wavelet compression? I'd be interested in two tracks... a heavyweight tutorial that plows through the math, and a "light" one that just hits some concepts and highlights.
