What's your experience distributing Android apps outside of the Android Market?
Which alternative markets an Android developer should consider? Any success/horror stories?
I work as a web developer with a web designer and we usually do like this :
- I create the system , I generate some Xml files
- the designer display the xml files with xslt
Nothing new.
My problem is that I use Xml Serialization to create my xml files, but I never use Deserialization. So I'd like to know if there is a way to avoid fix like these :
empty setter for my property
empty parameter-less constructor
implement IXmlSerializable and throw "notimplementedexception" on deserialization
do a copy of the class with public fields
Hi, I'm an iPhone developer, now I'm developing a game and I just found about the iPhone 2.2 being able to reproduce video on a TV Screen trhough MPTVOutWindow class. After googling I've found a lot of blogs with the News, however none of them give any information on the class,

Hi,
When running one of our software, a tester was faced with the data execution prevention dialog of Windows.
We try to reproduce this situation on a developer computer for debugging purposes : with no success.
Does anyone know how to find what may cause the DEP protection to kill the application?
Is there any existing tools available for this?
Any advices are welcome,
Thanks,
Nic
I am a web developer that is very conscious of security and try and make my web applications as secure as possible.
How ever I have started writing my own windows applications in C# and when it comes testing the security of my C# application, I am really only a novice.
Just wondering if anyone has any good tutorials/readme's on how to hack your own windows application and writing secure code.

Hello !
I have Visual Studio 2008 (sp1, .NET 3.5).
I have installed Silverlight 3 SDK and Silverlight 4 SDK beta + Sivelrlight toolkit.
I also have installed Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP that includes Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP.

Any tip how to get them?
Thanx !
I'm trying to use the MPMediaPlayback protocol's currentPlaybackRate() to slow down a video. I'm confused though as the class MPMoviePlayerController states that:
You can control most aspects of playback programmatically using the methods and properties of the MPMediaPlayback protocol, to which this class conforms.
Except just above in the header here: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MPMoviePlayerController_Class/MPMoviePlayerController/MPMoviePlayerController.html it doesn't seem to.
All I want to do is slow down the playback rate for a video.
I'm making my way into web development and have seen the word postback thrown around. Coming from a non-web based background, what does a new web developer have to know about postbacks? (i.e. what are they and when do they arise?)
Any more information you'd like to share to help a newbie in the web world be aware of postbacks would be most greatly appreciated.
I have installed the Android Emulator:

I now have it up and running using the eclipse plug in.
What I want to do is interface with/open/access google maps and/or google earth on the Emulated phone.. Is this possible?
Hi,
I am C++ developer interested in Android. As I understand the only possibility to develop applications for Android is Java. There is NDK also, but as I can see it is just something like JNI for Java. Is it mandatory to learn Java or to have deep knowledge in Java then try Android SDK, or it would be possible to learn Java while developing for Android.
Thank you.
In many online chess lobbies, I've seen instances of 'engining', where a cheater would open a chess program at the same time as the main game window. He would then set it up so that the opponent's moves are relayed to the computer, then which he would copy the computer's moves, until he (almost always) wins.
As a game developer and moderator, what is there to do about this situation?
I've been looking at implementing the new VerificationController to verify in-App-Purchases:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#releasenotes/StoreKit/IAP_ReceiptValidation/_index.html
And I wonder if there is some example anywhere en how to validate a transaction, since it seems that the - (BOOL)verifyPurchase:(SKPaymentTransaction *)transaction; is not enough and it has to be implemented internally to verify the purchase when the data form the server is received.
Another question is if anyone has a clue on what the KNOWN_TRANSACTIONS_KEY is and how to fill it, is it just the product id of the purchase?
I could not find any information about new WinForm features, exept for this blog post:
http://blog.codinglight.com/2009/05/future-of-winforms-whats-changed-in.html
which states:
213 types were changed, and 9 types
were added. 596 methods were changed,
50 were added, and 8 were removed.
So whats in these changes, for joe developer?

I'm wondering
translate(): "preconcat the current matrix with the specified translation" -- what does this mean?
I can't find a good definition of "preconcat" anywhere on the internet! The only place I can find it is in the Android Source - I'm starting to wonder if they made it up? :)
I'm familiar with "concat" or concatenate, which is to append to, so what is a pre-concat?

My Delphi installation has been going downhill for the past few months. It seems though that every so often when I build a release it has strange errors in it which are resolved if I build, then compile, then build, compile, etc.
I've talked to another developer who thinks that this is a compiler error. This sort of degrading performance over time has happened on other computers to us too.
What does stack overflow think could be the problem.

Why browser vendors make their own
css properties, even they know these
will not pass the w3c validation?
What is the purpose? is for their own
testing, or for web developers, ot to
demonstrate browser capabilities
to the world and to the W3C organizations
and to CSS development team of W3C?
is it like a beta version of
demonstration?
if i use any browser specific for now
can they remove that property's
support from future versions.will i have to edit my css in future
for example:

I know Objective-C from Desktop Apple Programming.
But i want to jump on the iPad bandwagon and start developing some small edutainment applets.
Is the iPad API the same as iPhone just with more power?
Do i need to join the iPhone developer program and does it still start with $100.
Is there any iPad emulator yet?
I am having some trouble getting appscript installed on OS/X 10.6.3 / Python 2.6.1. When I issue
sudo easy_install appscript
I get "unable to execute gcc-4.2: No such file or directory". Even when I do export CC=/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 (a valid gcc-4.2 executable), easy_install barks.
What could be the issue?
Disclaimer: OS/X newbie at the helm...
I've come accross these websites who recommend certain books but they are pretty much old :
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/navLinks/fog0000000262.html
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/02/recommended-reading-for-developers.html
http://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/ten-great-books
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.
// To Throw
void PrintType(object obj)
{
if(obj == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("obj")
}
Console.WriteLine(obj.GetType().Name);
}
// Not to Throw
void PrintType(object obj)
{
if(obj != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(obj.GetType().Name);
}
}
What principle to keep? Personally
Personally I prefer the first one its say developer-friendly.
The second one its say user-friendly.
What do you think?
