I've been looking for some good genetic programming examples for C#. Anyone knows of good online/book resources? Wonder if there is a C# library out there for Evolutionary/Genetic programming?
If think my question is pretty obvious and almost every developer working with UserProfile should be able to answer it.
However, I could not find any help on the django documentation or in the Django Book.
When you want to do a UserProfile form in with Django Forms, you'd like to modify the profile fields as well as some User field.
But there is no forms.UserProfileForm (yet?) !
How do you do that ?
I am a C# guy with pretty good grasp of Visual Studio IDE usage (using it since VS2003).
Right now, I am doing a proof of concept app using Eclipse 3.4.1.
Is there any good reference or book which describes the usage of Eclipse IDE, compared to Visual Studio. Is there any Eclipse guide for Visual Studio users :)
Thanks, in advance.
I was looking over Martin Fowler's recent book contents - Domain Specific Languages and I noticed some ANTLR example - that got me thinking that writing compilers will become more and more popular since people needs in this matter will increase.
So, will the compiler theory still be as arid (being subjective here) as it was until now or are there any chances that we'll get more applied, programmer oriented materials ?
I am working through the book Learning WCF by Michele Bustamante, and trying to do it using Visual Studio C# Express 2008. The instructions say to use WCF project and item templates, which are not included with VS C# Express. There are templates for these types included with Visual Studio Web Developer Express, and I've tried to copy them over into the right directories for VS C# Express to find, but the IDE doesn't find them. Is there some registration process? Or config file somewhere?
Hi all,
Is it possible to simulate a USB drive with software only? I mean, for example, to expose a local memory space to the OS so the device manager will recognize it as a USB device.
I'm not familiar with hardware implementation, but I'm sure that it is possible somehow to emulate the USB protocol.
I began with this book - USB Design By Example.
Can anyone please give me additional references to begin with?
Thank in advance!
Hi,
I want to delete one ABPerson (say, person) in address book then add another one (say new), since some parts of attributes may be reused, I want to clone 'person' to 'new', here is my question, it seems there is NO function to do this clone, I found ABRecordCreateCopy but it seems to be MAC specified, Is there any api I could use to avoid copy each properties one by one ?
Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to design very simple animation in OpenGL such as rotating and translating objects.
In the red book, I found that using GLUT's glutIdleFunc() is okay for a simple animation.
How many times does glutIdleFunc(...) call the function in one second?
Thank you.
Recently Zed Shaw (a programmer who blogs) mentioned that ODBC references should be removed from the popular python book Dive into Python. I have never worked with ODBC and I just wanted to understand why ODBC is so "bad". What are the pros and cons of the technology? What alternatives are there?
So the Wikipedia entry on Lambda Calculus was interesting but I've finished it. I wish to dive a little deeper and get a better understanding of Lambda Calculus.
Can anyone recommend what they consider to be the best book or primer to Lambda Calculus?

As far as I know the second one is the second "part" of the first one. But what about the third one -- is it just first+second published in one volume? I would like to buy them, but I don't want to get redundant reading.
Thank you in advance for clarification.
Hi all,
I am looking for a Java book that gives you some useful Java tips and best practices. Seems like "Effective Java" is a good candidate? Do you have any other recommendations?
I have planned to develop a game in flex in which the users will build buildings on a plain surface. I want to divide those lands into pieces and allow the user to build the buildings on the pieces of the surface. How do i divide the land into pieces. I have seen face book application supercity, farm vilie etc. I want to develop same as that. What is the method followed to develop the squares in the background.
I just worked through a book on WCF and was surprised that it didn't even mention REST at all.
Was REST an afterthought for WCF that was added in .NET 3.5 SP1 and hence not baked in well or is it well integrated?
I assume that Silverlight and XBAPs can consume WCF with no problem or do they have some limitation due to their sandbox environments? I've been reading that some people are having problems getting WCF to play well with XBAP and I would assume there are similar problems with Silverlight.
Let's assume I have a class called MyClass with an attribute called MyAttribute and a method called MyMethod(). Inside that method I'd like to have a variable called MyVariable. I'd like to set the value of MyVariable to "MyVariable" and MyAttribute to "MyAttribute" inside the call to MyMethod(). How can I do this in a Collaboration Diagram?
I can't find any info of this kind on the internet and the book I'm studying from (Applying UML and Patterns) is very vague in the details.
Thanks
I've come accross these websites who recommend certain books but they are pretty much old :

Are there books in recent years which every developer should read?I'm mostly interested about Java/Spring/Hibernate/Jboss although reading book about programming in general wouldn't be bad.
I just saw that Ayende Rahien wrote a book about Domain Specific Languages using Boo? I have never heard of Boo before that point. Can anyone speculate as to the reason he would choose that language?
I am writing an iPhone application and needed to use the address book functionality. For this to work, it is necessary to specify a ABPeoplePickerNavigationControllerDelegate on the ViewController.
The problem is that I am creating all fields and buttons dynamically runtime, and thus does not have any custom ViewController - using only UIViewController class.
My question is then - how can I specify the delegate runtime without having to create a ViewController class just for this purpose.
I'm a rails novice and just finished my first rails app(as far as I can tell). Now I'm at the deployment stage and find myself utterly confused--especially because I'm deploying from a windows machine.
I bought the pragmatic book on deployment and it seems a little out of date since they're recommending subversion instead of Git.
What would be the easiest deployment method these days for someone doomed to use windows? Are there any good up-to-date tutorials on deployment from Windows?
If I use relative frequency to estimate the probability of an event, how good is my estimate based on the number of experiments? Is standard deviation a good measure? A paper/link/online book would be perfect.

What are single-state and two-stage animation for rotating an iPhone window?
This is the "error" message I get in the Debugger Console (nothing crashes):
Using two-stage rotation animation. To use the smoother single-stage animation, this application must remove two-stage method implementations.
I was working through the book "Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK" by Apress (Dave Mark, Jeff LaMarche) on the Swap Project.
I work a lot with Wordpress and I'm trying to customize some of my themes, all of which are written in PHP. I've been trying to learn this language for a little while, but I'm not an experienced coder (My knowledge only includes HTML with some CSS). Can you recommend a guide/book/tutorial/etc that would work for a beginner?
I am working on address book synchronization algorithm. I would like to reuse some code if there exists, but couldn't find one yet.
Does someone know about an algorithm that will tell me in numbers/float/procent how much two names are identical. Levenstein distance is not good in this approach, as names and our adddress books are matching the begining of each of the name sections.

I'm learning C++ with this book of Deitel: C++ How to Program, 5/e and some tutorials and resources of the internet, but i want to learn how i can develop Nintendo GameBoy Advance games using C++, but only in resources over the internet, because i don't want to spent money now with a thing that i only want to try.
I'm starting to learn python right this instant. I have the old Dive Into Python book, but I see there's another one for v3.
What am I going to learn that I'll have to unlearn later?
If you were to start learning Python today which version would you pick?
