Ok, I am completely new to Java and have decided I am going to get into it in 2009, so I want to start writing some simple programs now to get into it. Therefore, I need an application to compile & run the code that I write. I found the following:
http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/tutor...ed/part1b.html
which explains how to install the JDK. I have to modify the autoexec file. However, how do you do this? I cannot seem to open with a text editor and I do not know if I should enter some command in the dos screen (hen I open the file, I see a dos screen which says "preparing to start your comuter... Retry, Abort or Fail)What computer language(s) should i learn??.
I am fairly up on computers as in how to make my way around etc but i don't know much about computer languages. I would love to learn a bit about some of them. What ones would be the best to start off with. I'm curious about dos aswell. Any help on where i should start would be great. ThanksI want to list a load of .avi files in an excel sheet. I was able to download a mp3filelister.xls but was not able to edit the macro.

Hi guys,

GerHi,
In a previous life I've used MS Access with SQL Server and so have become quite used to it.
Now I have a series of MySQL databases. Im Told MS Access doesn't like MySQL but that I would like the same ability to graphically create queries, Forms reports etc...Not to mention Macros etc
I've tried using Open Office (Base) application but found this to be a bit shakey...
Any Ideas?I want to Design/Develop Software.
I'm looking to develop a software package to be used specifically by accountants. The thing is, Im an accountant and I know nothing about software developement. Is anyone here in the know or can point mein the right direction as to how I can get this developed. I hear that people are using programmers from eastern europe to keep costs down, is this a path I could explore? Any input would be appreciated.Google maps API Query question.
Hi there.
Apologies if this is a stupid question but here goes.
I wrote a simple javascript that plots an address on a google map using Geocoding function from the Google maps API.
Ideally what I would like would to be able to plot multiple markers on a google map. You know the way you go to google maps and enter a search string like British airways, London, uk and you get multiple markers. Is there anyway to do this via the google maps api (through a javascript)?
I would imagine that if it's possible, that you would get multiple LatLng variables returned in an array or something, then you simply plot them.
Any help Greatly appreciated. Happy New year,
SHelp with apache mina ftp server.
Hi
I am using this server in my java application and I am unable to configure it.
This is the code so far:
It is taken from the documentation.This works but there doesn't seem to be any more documentation on the configuration of the server. All other documentation seems to be for the stand alone server.Code:FtpServerFactory serverFactory = new FtpServerFactory();
ListenerFactory factory = new ListenerFactory();
// set the port of the listener
factory.setPort(2221);
// replace the default listener
serverFactory.addListener("default", factory.createListener());
// start the server
FtpServer server = serverFactory.createServer();
server.start();
I want to setup the server add a user (I think I know how to do this it) and then select a folder on the local file system for sharing (I have no idea how to do this bit). I hope all this can be done through the API, though a configuration file would also be good. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
KevConverting HTML form data to pdf.
Hi
I am starting a project in which I will be looking to take user input from web forms and create PDF's from them. It is not decided what web technology will be used (ASP, JSP, PHP etc) so a solution for any of these technologies would be welcome.
Thanks
DaveCreating a dll with a calling application in vb.net.
This may be an extremely basic question and I apologise if it is rambling. I work in Vb.net
Just started in a new workplace and prototyped a program which displays a stored procedure in a grid and varies the grid based on a couple of passed in parameters.
I wrote this as a 'windows application'.
So far so good. BUT
I have been asked to set it up as a dll with a 'calling exe'.
That is the 'windows application' will be a tiny applcation which just passes in parameters. The main program will be a dll called from the 'calling program'.
This seems to be the way that all applications are written here. I would have written programs that do stuff as windows applications in the past and set up dlls to hold functionality (other than display).
So how do I set up a dll which has a display etc. I should just ask but prefer to figure it out for myself and it is so much part of the practise here that they will basically think I'm an idiot for not knowing this.
MMThe jobs market for programmers/developers.
Hey guys, hope the mods won't mind if I post here as opposed to Work & Jobs, I think my query might be more specific to this forum as it concerns a career in software development.
It looks like I'll be made redundant pretty soon so I'm wondering what people's views are regarding employment prospects for developers at the moment? What the jobs market be like in 6-12 months time? I have 2 years experience in C++/Objective C development in a small company and I'm willing to travel anywhere for the right job, Ireland or abroad. In fact I would be very interested in working abroad so I might use this as an opportunity to do that.
Basically I'm wondering if I can afford to take time off and blow some money on a short break from working life or if I should be prepared for a long and difficult wait to find employment...Hi, I am going out of my mind with a query I am trying to write which involves date (diff) calculations. Basically I have a table with a DATE column and I want to be able to run a query to select all rows that are in between two different numbers of months away from a specified date.
For example if I had three rows such as
2008-12-21
2008-01-30
2007-05-30
and I specifed a date of 2009-01-01, then the number of months between the specified date and them would be
0
11
19
Then if I specifed a range of 6 - 14 months, then technically only the second row would be returned. I see that I have the function period_diff at my disposal but it takes the date in the format of yyyymm (E.g. 200812) which is different from the format of DATE. I am sure there is a way around this but I can't seem to find it...
Any help genuinely appreciated ;)
Refresh.
