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 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'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 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.
John Smith should match
Smith Jon, Jonathan Smith, Johnny Smith
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?

I am reading WCF book.It states that the client can consume service running on same AppDomain or different application Domain.
Suppose I am creating a service in IIS localhost.
example
localhost\TestService\Service.svc (WCFService Website).
and my client is in
d:\demo\client (windows form)
Does it mean client is running on
different AppDomian and Service is
running on different Appdomain?
How can i have client and service
both running on same AppDomain?
Hi, having taken a look at a few textbooks that discuss numerical methods and C programming, I was gladly surprised when browsing through "programming in C with numerical methods for engineers" by Rojiani. I understand of course it's important that one need to have a solid background in numerical methods prior to try implementing them on a computer.
I would like to know if someone here has been using this book and if possible point out strengths and weaknesses of this textbook.
Thanks a lot...
It's really interesting how book reading applications like Stanza or Eucalyptus split epubs which is html by page so lines are clear and next page starts at the correct line.
Does anyone has any idea how this could be accomplished?
Long time ago, I saved a sentence from a Java reference book: "Java has no mechanism to handle deadlock. it won't even know deadlock occurred." (Head First Java 2nd Edition, p.516)
So, what is about it? Is there a way to catch deadlock case in Java? I mean, is there a way that our code understands a deadlock case occurred?
Hi,
I've realised just how rusty my knowledge of PHP 5 and advanced PHP programming is after completing some questions for a test.
I seriously need to read a book or something.
Any recommendations for PHP 5 books?
i am looking for a open source full featured web search engine like nutch , because nutch is complex and it take much time to penetrate its code and i didnt find a book about it .
I am using XAMPP and was wondering if I can code my site to include RSS feeds. Would the codes work and can I test it if I am working on a local server?
I am practicing using the OReily head First PHP/Mysql book and I'm on the chapter on RSS and getting RSS videos from youtube.
Hi, can someone please tell me where to find the example codes used in this book:

I want to integrate ANTLR with my c# desktop application.
I could not find many articles that talk about integration of ANTLR wirh C#.
Can you recommend a book that explains it step by step through real world examples?
I'm trying divide two numbers in assembly. I'm working out of the Irvine assembly for intel computers book and I can't make division work for the life of me.
Here's my code
.code
main PROC
call division
exit
main ENDP
division PROC
mov eax, 4
mov ebx, 2
div ebx
call WriteDec
ret
divison ENDP
END main
Where WriteDec should write whatever number is in the eax register (should be set to the quotient after the division call). Instead everytime I run it visual studio crashes (the program does compile however).
