I recently switched to TFS and I want to start using Team Foundation Build to automate the build process for my application. I need some good resources (blogs, articles, books) on this topic.
Hello,
I just started using the ExpressionEngine wiki talk forum extension and it is great for creating forum topics per each wiki article but, I also need it to add discussions for wiki file pages too.
My users have the need to not only discuss wiki articles but, to also discuss uploaded files. Any thoughts on how to add this feature to wiki talk forum extension?
I have a Django web application and I have some tasks that should operate (or actually: be initiated) on the background.
The application is deployed as follows:
apache2-mpm-worker;
mod_wsgi in daemon mode (1 process, 15 threads).
The background tasks have the following characteristics:
they need to operate in a regular interval (every 5 minutes or so);
they require the application context (i.e. the application packages need to be available in memory);
they do not need any input other than database access, in order to perform some not-so-heavy tasks such as sending out e-mail and updating the state of the database.
Now I was thinking that the most simple approach to this problem would be simply to piggyback on the existing application process (as spawned by mod_wsgi). By implementing the task as part of the application and providing an HTTP interface for it, I would prevent the overhead of another process that is holding all of the application into memory. A simple cronjob can be setup that sends a request to this HTTP interface every 5 minutes and that would be it. Since the application process provides 15 threads and the tasks are quite lightweight and only running every 5 minutes, I figure they would not be hindering the performance of the web application's user-facing operations.
Yet... I have done some online research and I have seen nobody advocating this approach. Many articles suggest a significantly more complex approach based on a full-blown messaging component (such as Celery, which uses RabbitMQ). Although that's sexy, it sounds like overkill to me. Some articles suggest setting up a cronjob that executes a script which performs the tasks. But that doesn't feel very attractive either, as it results in creating a new process that loads the entire application into memory, performs some tiny task, and destroys the process again. And this is repeated every 5 minutes. Does not sound like an elegant solution.
So, I'm looking for some feedback on my suggested approach as described in the paragraph before the preceeding paragraph. Is my reasoning correct? Am I overlooking (potential) problems? What about my assumption that application's performance will not be impeded?
I am looking for a .Net CMS that allows me to expose pages/articles that are created in the CMS to other applications without querying the CMS database. Preferably this would be done through an API and by exposing them through a custom secured webservice.
I know Sitefinity can do this.
Do you know if
Umbraco
DotNetNuke
can do this?
If yes, a link to some documentation of the API is appreciated!
Perl script that would scrape out sentences that mention 'Calvein Klein' in articles in a file named by $file. (Sentences can cross zero or more CR/LF characters.) Create an array of sentences scraped and print it at the end.
Please anyone help me with that.
Is there a way to monitor the loading progress (percent progress bar style) when using Flex remoting?
I'm trying out Flash Builder 4 with it's new data services features, but I can't find any pgrogress event stuff somewhere. This article by Robert Taylor http://www.roboncode.com/articles/144 indicates that it might not be possible...
hi,
DRUPAL question.
I'm using Views, with an exposed filter (Taxonomy). I've downloaded the "better exposed filter" module to display it as checkbox list.
a
Now, how can I order the tags in the filter list ? "Views Sort" is not the solution because I only can order articles but not the filter items!!
I want to add an option (checkbox) for the customer to order the tags alphabetically or leave them in the default order.
thanks
Hi,
Just started learning/reading about DI and IOC frameworks.
Also I read many articles on SO and internet that say that one should prefer
DI/IOC over singleton.
Can anyone give/link examples of exactly how DI/IOC eliminates/solves the various issues regarding the Singleton pattern?
(hopefully code and explanation for better understanding)
Also given a system has already implemented Singleton pattern,
how to refactor/implement DI/IOC for the same?
(any examples for the same?)
(Language/Framework no bars..C# would be helpful)
Thanks
Any good articles out there comparing Oracle vs SQL Server vs MySql in terms of performance?
I'd like to know things like:
INSERT performance
SELECT performance
Scalability under heavy load
Based on some real examples in order to gain a better understanding about the different RDBMS.
All of the expires headers articles I've looked at give more or less the following solution:
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
But it doesn't make sense to me because I know which of my images are going to change and which aren't, so I want to be able to add specific expiration dates to specific image files. How would I go about this?
Thanks!
Hello,
I am trying to grasp this nosql thing since it sounds good for scalability.
Can you help me understand how a digg-like model would be structured efficiently ?

After much research and trial and error I found how to store the items for a ListBox and ComboBox in the app.Config. I am heavily indebted to Jon Rista, who wrote a series of articles about the Net 2.0 Configuration classes. I constructed a (large!) code snippet that will generate all the code you need by just inserting three strings!
Enjoy!
Hello !
I made some searches on Google, and I read some posts, articles and benchmarks about Ruby on Rails being slow and I am planning to build one website that will have a good amount of users inserting data and there will be some applications to process this data (maybe in Ruby, you can help me choosing the language).
What is the real performance of Ruby on Rails with large traffic ?
Thank you !
I just wanted to know what are some basic PHP security techniques I should use when creating a web page that accepts articles?
I'm fairly new to PHP and was wondering what will hold the fort down until I'm a security expert?

I've read that you can't parse HTML with regular expressions because HTML is not a regular language. I tried searching Wikipedia, but I didn't understand a word of what the various related articles said. Can someone explain, in simpler terms, what's a regular (or non-regular) language, and why non-regular languages can't be parsed with regexes?
i know that everything is going through the controller.
but i often read articles that says something like this:
user interacts with the view
controller asks the model to change its state
model notifies the view when its sate has changed
i dont get the 3rd one. why saying that the model notifies the view, when it actually is notifying the controller and the controller is notifying the view?
How do I test this:
render view: "create", model: [user: user]
I know how to test redirectArgs and stuff, but I can't find an example to test something like this. It seems like articles and stuff go out of their way to not test this....
During the following months I'll have some spare time so I thought of picking up a new programming language.I've been reading some articles about Go and Io and both of them look interesting and very promising so I'm stuck making a decision about which one to pick up next.
I'm mainly interested in distributed systems and concurrency.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have an ASP.NET web application developed in VS 2008 and i have implemented ASP.NET web forms URL routing by following this link
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/051309-1.aspx#postadlink
It works pretty good when i run it on the Visual studion IDE.But does not works when i created a site under my IIS and deployed the same files there.I have set ASP.NET version as 2.0 in the Properties window of my application too.But does not work. Any idea Why ?
Is there anything else to be setup ? Thanks in advance
I want to integrate ANTLR with my c# desktop application.

Can you recommend a book that explains it step by step through real world examples?
Hi there,
Does anyone have any recommendations with localization of core data? My application will have information that will sometimes be the same in both langauges, such as a person's photo, or different such as the person's biography.
From what I understand, it's possible to localize the field names (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdUsingMOM.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005190-SW13), but what's the best course of action for field values?
Thanks!
Tristan
I'm still pretty new to this whole iPhone thing.
What are some good tutorials/videos/articles that deal specifically with UITabBars and adding your own views for a multi-view app.
Thanks a ton.
