Windows Programming

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:13:55 -0700

I want to get a log file updated whenever a user changes an Excel Sheet.

i.e. say username Bill changed the Excel Sheet at time 12.30.00pm on 31st Jan 2009
I would like to get the text file updated with the user name and the date and time.

What is the best way/technology to do that?

learn iphone programming

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:55:23 -0700

There is a lot of buzz about independent developers who have made between $100,000 to $500,000 by simply creating their first iPhone application and putting it up for sale on the online Apple Store.

Steve Demeter made a simple puzzle game called Trism, and in 2 months he earned $250,000. Last December the app called iFart became the number one app on the App Store. It stayed on the top and raked in $9200 each day in profit after Apple's cut. Then, Ethan Nicholas, developer of the now famous iShoot game, earns $21,000 per day selling his iPhone app. Ethan quit his day job to work full time on the iPhone and he did not even know how to write Objective-C code before he made iShoot.

These are just some of the stories that are causing a lot of buzz, and people have quit their day jobs to cash in on the opportunity. However,there is a shortage of well structured tutorials and one-on-one mentorship.

question on gerneral programming

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:58:25 -0700

Okay so I really know nothing about programming but I was just wondering if there is a way to write a program that would go to a website and just virtually click on an advertisement, and keep clicking and clicking. So hypothetically if I wanted to create a website, fill it with ads from adsense, I could have the program virtually click the links. Just wondering if its possible.

Some Scripting

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 10:41:08 -0700

Hi,

I was wondering if someone might point me in a general direction on how I could get this done.

I want to write a script that downloads the latest PDF file off an RSS feed.
It must continually watch the RSS feed and download when ever a newer one comes available.

Thanks
- Kyle

Virtual page size question

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:20:25 -0700

An other, question how do I figure how many bits are needed for an offset, how many physical page and how many virtual pages. again using 8 bit addressing. 64 bits phyical memory and a page size is 16 bytes.

This what I think I have.

5 bits for the offet.

for the virtual page, 2^8= 256, then 256/16 for 16 virtual pages

Physical pages are 7.

Am I right or totally wrong?

Does my first language really matter?

Thu, 28 May 2009 20:52:09 -0700

Hi, my name is Garrick. I am 17 and a junior in High School. For the past few months I have been interested in learning how to program, but have not been able to find the time. Now that summer is coming up, I am really wanting to get started.

I have spent more time reading than actually doing, and I have heard from several different sources your first language affects how you learn other new languages, and the way you view programming in general. I have read you should not learn Java as a first language.

So my question is, does this really matter? I am planning on making a career of programming if things go well and learning many langauges, so I figured it would be important to make sure I get started on the right foot so to speak. If this does matter, what is a language you would recommend?

SQL

Mon, 18 May 2009 19:57:53 -0700

First of all, why isn't there an SQL forum on this site?

I just got the book "Simply SQL, By Rudy Limeback" I am a complete beginner to this. I've always been into programming but never got past the simple stuff on C++ and C#. I read that datebase programmers make a lot of money so I thought I would learn SQL, I need to get out of this factory I'M working in. The book dives straight into writing in SQL without telling me where or in what to write it. I'M use to using a compiler with C++, I have no idea where to test and learn my code using SQL. Can someone please help? Thanks.

Which Language?

Sun, 17 May 2009 13:52:17 -0700

I want to start programming, but I haven't a clue where to start and most importantly which language to learn first. Any straight forward answer would be greatly appreciated and some basic tutorials as well, and maybe a recommendation of a book I should buy to learn from.

Edit:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Visual-Basic-2008-Developer/dp/0735625379/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-VB-NET-Programmer-Thearon-Willis/dp/0764556584/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I don't which book I should buy, so any help on this matter as well, will be great.

What is the best language for mobile devices?

Thu, 07 May 2009 15:23:37 -0700

I have a little coding experience, Basic (C64), VB, COBOL, and Assembly. Nothing really in depth and I haven’t used them in so long I might as well say I have no coding skills.

I have an app I would like to make so I started looking at Java. Before I invest the time in learning Java I would first like to find out if it’s going to work for my needs.

The Inventory application I want to code will be for mobile devices (Cell phone, PDA, Blackberry).
Let me explain how I would like the Inventory Application to work.
On the mobile device there will be a database of let’s say 200 items.
The first screen you would select a location/store (not all locations contain the same items)
Let’s say there are 5 locations to pick from and you select location 3. Location 3 contains 15 items.
The next screen shows the 15 items
Item 10
Item 11
Item 12
Item 13 and so on.
As you walk around and see an item you scroll to that item and select it.
So I select item 11 and a selection box pops up with the following options:
X (cancel) + (add) – (Subtract) (Defaults to Add)
I select Add and then I am asked to enter a number. I type in 4 b/c this is the quantity of Item 11 that I see. The app then adds 4 to the existing count 0 to total 4.
Same thing for item 15 but I add 6 this time. Later I see more for Item 11 and enter 3 which adds 3to4 totaling 7.

When I’m done I scroll to the bottom and select done and it gives me a list of only the items that have a count to them with a timestamp for the device.

This is the main program I would like to code. Bonus would be the ability to print the final listing.

Later I would like to also code a desktop (windows) app that can retrieve the listing and store it in a database that you can query by day, Month or year.

Bonus would be that ability to submit the list to a Web forum either from the handheld device or the desktop app.

So my question is what language(s) would be best for coding an application like this?

Thank you for your time and advice.
And thank you for reading all of that!
Tony

If I wasn’t clear in my description please let me know and I can try again.

Replace img in HTML through RegEx

Mon, 04 May 2009 22:48:51 -0700

Hi,

I need to replace all the images in html with format. The following regex is replacing the images where image tag is like <img src='1.jpg'>. Its not working if the img tag has more attributes like alt, width etc.

string pattern = @"<img\s+src\s*=\s*[""']([^""']+)[""']\s*/*>";
result = Regex.Replace(source, pattern, "");

Please let me know the generic regex for this.

Thanks in advance.

Why can't I get it?

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 08:48:53 -0700

I'M just 23 to start, but I've been into programming since my early teens and I'M still no good. I first got into C++ because I wanted to learn how to make video games. Not that that's no longer an issue, but now I just want a job that's not in a factory. I'M now trying to learn C#, but just like C++, once I get so far into learning, things start to get to confusing. I can get basic input/output, if/else statements, loops, you know, the simple stuff. But beyond that, I get stuck. I'M a single parent so going back to School isn't really an option. Is there any way I can learn to program? Am I learning on the wrong languages? And is there anyway I could get a job programming without a degree? Thanks for any and all replies.

Dont know where to begin

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:16:44 -0700

So iv done probably about 200 little tidbits of programing in my life and iv set off ti finally write a program of my own.

So basicly i need to know where i should begin.

Im not sure what the best language to do this is or if it should be a database or what BUT i want to design and write a program that opens on a client PC and keeps itself up to date on a server.

this program should

1. be windows based.
2. be easily mass distributable
3. it should collect data from the client computer (example and item and its price) and upload it to the server
4. the server side should then update all other computers connected with this information.
5. i would like it to be able to keep 5 records of one item and display to the client side computers and average of there prices so that if multiple clients upload the same item with different prices it will average them.
6. when items are entered they need to be entered by serial#, type, of item,name,dicription, condition,price
7.it needs to have some sort of system in place (which is why i chose to use serial numbers) to make sure multiple instances of the same item do not happen and that similar occurences of the same item get grouped together up to 5 and then there after it discards any new instance of that item

I know its alot but i need to know where to start and would like help learning about what im doing.

HELP ME PLEASE

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:26:23 -0700

I have an assignment to do pseudocode and algorithm for the following problem:

A printed report listing the employees in a specific department to include:

Department Number

Each employee

The number of hours worked that week

The employee rate of pay

Their gross pay for the week

The total gross pay for the department

The IT department can provide a data file for the department each record containing:

Department Number

The employee name

The employee number (ID)

The hourly rate for that employee

The number of hours worked that week

NOTE: The number of employee records is not known and there is no sentinel.

I need to construct a solution algorithm including:

A defining diagram

A list of control structures required

A Pseudocode algorithm in proper form

A list of the input data for testing (minimum of three records)

The expected results (the sample created above)

A desk check table of the pseudocode algorithm

Unclear algorithm definition

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 06:25:04 -0700

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum pleased to meet you all.

I was trying to solve a definition of an algorithm but it seems I'm pretty much stuck, due to what it seems an unclear definition in the book (and there's no solution either).

Here we go:

TELEPHONE RATES
The rate for use of a telephone depends on the time of call, which is measured as MPMs or minutes past midnight (ranging from 0 to 60 x 24).
The "day rate" from 6am to 6pm is given in dollars per inute, and the "night rate" as a proportion of this day rate.
If the rate is determined at the beginning of the call and remains fixed at that value, create an algorithm that computes the total cost for any call given the start time and the terminating time, both in MPMs.
If the rate can change during a call (when it lasts past the 6 o'clock times) then create the new algorithm to compute the cost.

Now, my problem is that I don't understand how can I extract a "proportion" from all this, because to me seems NOT DEFINED! Ok I could create the algorithm as black boxes with one labeled simply "Proportion", without worrying about the exact computation to be done, but... what do you think?

Thank in advance and happy easter! =)

software and cpu loads

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 03:17:25 -0700

Hiya all recently i have been making a program to read information from my cars ecu in vb 2008 it works via a serial port.....

Now my question is how come other programs can read the same information and process it and display it on the screen with out any cpu load ??

Because the serial data is incoming very fast its running 9600 bps proberly not that fast but for my program to keep up to date with it i have to use a loop basicly constanly reading the serial port which destroys the cpus speed and loads it up i tryed using timers on vb but they only go down to 1 ms !

So basicly how do other programs read that information quick enough with out drawing lots load on the cpu ???? do i need to use a diffrent langauge maybe because vb is not good enough ??

Cheers tom :)
