I'm a longtime C/C++ Unix guy. I recently started work in a new position that's gonna eventually require C# and WPF (and probably some LINQ). What are the best resources to quickly come up to speed on all these Microsoft technologies? Years ago I read Petzold's book and loved it because it was so complete and by the end I really felt like I knew what I was doing... Is their something equivalent for the .NET world?
Hey,
For some time i see that employers demand from programmers knowing Sharepoint, but I have problem with understand what it is :/
But today I was at IT training, and main guy told something like that:" Sharepoint is platform for commit code for programmer, control of version etc..."
It is true? It looks like SVN tool... Can someone explain me what advantages it have for c# programmer?
Thanks ;)
I ran across a small framework some time back that someone put together for iPhone wait screens. But now I can't find any trace of it. Does anyone have a link to it? It may not be a framework as much as a few code snippets. But the guy had it all pre-made. You just needed to implement and specify the type of wait screen you wanted.
I've got a few books and helpful guides to Perl from my company's scripting guy, but I can't seem to find where the best IDE for Perl is.
Mind you, simple is better. I'm just learning for now.
Hello all, I am not a comp science guy. Managed resources are allocated on the heap. But I would like to know where unmanaged resources are allocated. If unmanaged resources are also allocated on the heap, is it the same heap used by managed resources or a different one?
Thanks in advance.

I need to make my little guy (in a UIIamgeView) jump forward and it has to look natural. I want to know is there a way to do it with CoreAnimation (beginAnimation/commitAnimation)?
I could do it by setting a point in between in the air but the movement looks not natural :P
Yesterday I read a question (now deleted) from a guy asking: "Why my avatar is now a pony?"
Today my avatar changed suddenly, and now I see a pony and a rainbow. but my gravatar still no changed.
What's happening?
My Facebook group is about my iPhone software. Is there a way to have it list all my iPhone apps with links/prices etc?
I noticed that this guy does it some how: http://www.facebook.com/AppStore
Thanks
Trying to save the next guy/gal some trouble in finding out what is needed to setup lava lamps or traffic lights or what have you (the term I believe is eXtreme Feedback Devices) as a BIG VISIBLE INDICATOR of your continuous integration build status.
Ensure your post includes... (and please don't mess this question up with imaginative responses.. although it may be insanely funny at the point of conception)
the XFD
what 'helper' hardware is needed
software that you managed to hook it up with
detailed instructions on how to set it up
I'm trying to set the Hidden-property of a Textbox based on this expression:
=IIf(IsNothing(Parameters!customer_numbers.Value) AND
IsNothing(Parameters!country_codes.Value),False,True)
Error: "Argument not specified for parameter 'FalsePart' of Public Function IIf(Expression As Boolean, TruePart As Object, FalsePart As Object) As Object"
I'm a jScript/C# guy and not used to this pseudo-VB language. What is wrong?

This question is linked with the answers in the following question:
Error removing Bitmaps[Android]
Is there any advantage of using Drawable over Bitmap in Android in terms of memory de-allocation ?
I was looking at Romain Guy project Shelves and he uses SoftReference for images caches but I'm unable to search where is the code which is de-allocating these Drawables when SoftReference automatically reclaims the memory for Bitmap. As far as I know .recycle() has to be explicitly called on the Bitmap for it to be de-allocated.
I'm technically savvy but don't have extensive experience with servers/daemons (I'm a Windows guy, so...command lines intimidate me).
I started a Mercurial server using the hg serve -d command, and all was well.
Now, I want to stop it, and can't find a process to kill. Does anybody know the process name or a relatively simply CLI command to get it done?
I watched a free high quality video with Aaron Hillegass about Core Data vs Tokyo Cabinet. Besides that this guy is amazingly funny (really, if you want to laugh now, watch it!), he shows off Tokyo Cabinet beeing about 40x faster than Core Data.
I wonder if it's worth thinking about how to attach this to Core Data? Does that make any sense? Maybe as a custom atomic store or something like this?
I have a strange case where in what this guy says is not happening with me. I am not able to set the above two parameters neither through command line directly, nor using a par file.
expdp -help doesn't show any such arguments, so are there analogous arguments to BUFFER and DIRECT (from exp) in the data-pump version.
Hi
I am looking at this tutorial http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/authforwebservices.aspx and I am wondering what the reason for using authentication through soap is? Like why not just pass the username and password through the parameters instead?
Is it more secure to do it like the way the guy is in the tutorial verus just using passing it through as parameters?
Thanks

Hey,

Is that true? It sounds like SVN. Can someone explain me what advantages it has for a C# programmer?

For example in git you could do
git commit --allow-empty -m"I like what this guy did"
I was considering using commits as a commenting system,
and I just wanted to see how that would go over.

How to get the PackBits compression using sips?
Below one for LZW works fine.
sips -s formatOptions lzw /DefaultGroup.tif
But this fails:
sips -s formatOptions packbits /DefaultGroup.tif
Any idea why?
Iam debugging some javascript, and cant explain what this "||" does?
loadingError: function(title, msg){
var title = title || 'Error';
var msg = msg || 'Error on Request';
new my.widget.InformationBox({
title: title,
message: msg,
type: 'error'
}).show();
}
Can someone give me an hint, why this guy is using var title = title || 'ERROR' ??
I am writing a custom animation for wpf and as a non math guy I have a couple questions...
If I am given two Point3D's, the From and To, and assuming the origin is at 0,0,0 how do I calculate a curve between the two points?
And once I have the curve 'plotted' and I know its length (how to do that too?) how can I calculate the x,y,z coords at some given distance along the line?
Thanks!
Is there any way by which I can attach the back button of my browser to any particular link?
Actually I am designing a login page in PHP. After login I want the back button of my browser to open any particular page that I want, how can I do that in PHP?
Actually I am not a PHP guy, so my question might sound silly to some. :P
For example in git you could do
git commit --allow-empty -m"I like what this guy did"
I was considering using commits as a commenting system,
and I just wanted to see how that would go over.
I'm a girl.
You're a guy.
You need to give me an interesting riddle (or flirty question) that is related to computer-science for me to guess. By the way, I have a masters from Stanford.
Example:
If Python is C++, C++ is JAVA, and PHP is returning None. What is PHP(Python(PHP))?
