  • I want to build a Google-friendly web app, where should I start?

    - by ronii
    I have only very basic experience with HTML/CSS and have quite a bit of experience with testing software and web apps from a consumer perspective. I'd love to launch a web application that plays nicely with Google services, similar to some of the apps you'd find on the Google Apps Marketplace, such as ManyMoon, time to note, Socialwok, etc. I'm a huge Google fan and would like to build something that's well integrated with other Google services. If you were a total beginner and wanted to build a complex app like one of examples above (project management, CRM, etc), where would you start? If you worked your ass off 18 hours a day, 24/7, how fast could you do it? I've dabbled into various languages and development frameworks, and read about which apps are using what languages but it's hard to figure out what would be most beneficial to jump into. Ruby on Rails, PHP, Google Web Toolkit, AppEngine. The list goes on and on. I want to be able to build and launch my own scalable web app. Thanks.

  • Are web service handler chains possible under IIS / ASP.NET

    - by Mike
    I'm working with a client who wants me to implement a particular design in an IIS/ASP.NET environment. This design was already implemented in Java, but I am not sure it is possible using Microsoft technologies. In a Tomcat/Java environment one can create so call Handler Chains. In essence a handler runs on the server on which the web service is running and it intercepts the SOAP message coming to the web service. The handler can perform a number of tasks before passing control to the web service. Some of these tasks may refer to authentication and authorization. Moreover, one can create handler chains, such that the handlers can run in a particular sequence before passing control to the web service. This is a very elegant solution, as certain aspects of authentication and authorization can be automatically performed, without the developer of the client application and of the web service having to invest anything in it. The code for the client application and the web service is not affected. You may find a number of articles on internet on this subject by searching on Google for "web service handler chain". I performed searches for web service handlers in IIS or ASP.NET. I get some hits, but apparently handlers in IIS have another meaning than that described above. My question therefor is: Can handler chains (as available in Java and Tomcat) be created in IIS? If so, how (any article, book, forum...)? Either a negative or a positive answer will be greatly appreciated. Mike

  • What's a standard productive vs total office hours ratio? [migrated]

    - by marianov
    So it goes like this: we are keeping track of tasks using Redmine. We log time spent doing tasks, but at the end of the week if we add up all the time spent at those tasks there is no way a person has spent 40hs working. I think that's correct because offices have overhead (reading emails, politics, coffee, distractions). What would be a normal productive time vs total time spent ratio? Other areas in the organization just measure time spent in the office (with the rfid badges that open the door) but we don't like that approach and we are trying to convince Auditing to measure us using redmine instead.

  • Any specifications/docs around optimization of Google Apps Script, to avoid timeouts and "hangs"

    - by BruceM
    From my experience so far, it seems that if you write a script that makes lots of expensive calls close together, the functionality just "hangs", or you get inconsistent responses, and have to refresh the browser because sheets stop updating etc. Are there any docs or specs that clarify this, as releasing an app fr real-world use is not possible if users can expect it to work most of the time, and produce random results every now and then...

  • Windows store apps: ScrollViewer with dinamic content

    - by Alexandru Circus
    I have a scrollViewer with an ItemsControl (which holds rows with data) as content. The data from these rows is grabbed from the server so I want to display a ProgressRing with a text until the data arrives. Basically I want the content of the ScrollViewer to be a grid with progress ring and a text and after the data arrives the content to be changed with my ItemsControl. The problem is that the ScrollViewer does not accept more than 1 element as content. Please tell me how can I solve this problem. (I'm a C# beginner) <FlipView x:Name="OptionPagesFlipView" Grid.Row="1" TabNavigation="Cycle" SelectionChanged="OptionPagesFlipView_SelectionChanged" ItemsSource="{Binding OptionsPageItems}"> <FlipView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate x:Name="OptionMonthPageTemplate"> <ScrollViewer x:Name="OptionsScrollViewer" HorizontalScrollMode="Disabled" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"> <ItemsControl x:Name="OptionItemsControl" ItemsSource="{Binding OptionItems, Mode=OneWay}" Visibility="Collapsed"> <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate x:Name="OptionsChainItemTemplate"> <Grid x:Name="OptionItemGrid" Background="#FF9DBDF7" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <!-- CALL BID --> <TextBlock Text="Bid" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,5,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="CallBidTextBlock" Text="{Binding CallBid}" Foreground="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Margin="5,0,5,5" FontSize="18"/> <!-- CALL ASK --> <TextBlock Text="Ask" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,5,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="CallAskTextBlock" Text="{Binding CallAsk}" Foreground="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Margin="5,0,5,0" FontSize="18"/> <!-- CALL LAST --> <TextBlock Text="Last" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,5,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="CallLastTextBlock" Text="{Binding CallLast}" Foreground="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Margin="5,0,5,5" FontSize="18"/> <!-- CALL NET CHANGE --> <TextBlock Text="Net Ch" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,5,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="CallNetChTextBlock" Text="{Binding CallNetChange}" Foreground="{Binding CallNetChangeForeground}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Margin="5,0,5,5" FontSize="18"/> <!-- STRIKE --> <TextBlock Text="Strike" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,5,0"/> <Border Background="{Binding StrikeBackground}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Margin="5,0,5,5"> <TextBlock x:Name="StrikeTextBlock" Text="{Binding Strike}" Foreground="Blue" FontSize="18"/> </Border> <!-- PUT LAST --> <TextBlock Text="Last" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,5,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="PutLastTextBlock" Text="{Binding PutLast}" Foreground="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" Margin="5,0,5,5" FontSize="18"/> <!-- PUT NET CHANGE --> <TextBlock Text="Net Ch" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="3" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,5,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="PutNetChangeTextBlock" Text="{Binding PutNetChange}" Foreground="{Binding PutNetChangeForeground}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="3" Margin="5,0,5,5" FontSize="18"/> <!-- PUT BID --> <TextBlock Text="Bid" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="4" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,15,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="PutBidTextBlock" Text="{Binding PutBid}" Foreground="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="4" Margin="5,0,15,5" FontSize="18"/> <!-- PUT ASK --> <TextBlock Text="Ask" Foreground="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="4" FontSize="18" Margin="5,0,15,0"/> <TextBlock x:Name="PutAskTextBlock" Text="{Binding PutAsk}" Foreground="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="4" Margin="5,0,15,5" FontSize="18"/> <!-- BOTTOM LINE SEPARATOR--> <Rectangle Fill="Black" Height="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Row="3"/> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> </ItemsControl> <!--<Grid> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ProgressRing x:Name="CustomProgressRing" Height="40" Width="40" IsActive="true" Grid.Column="0" Margin="20" Foreground="White"/> <TextBlock x:Name="CustomTextBlock" Height="auto" Width="auto" FontSize="25" Grid.Column="1" Margin="20"/> <Border BorderBrush="#FFFFFF" BorderThickness="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/> </Grid>--> </ScrollViewer> </DataTemplate> </FlipView.ItemTemplate>

  • Sort ranges in an array in google apps script

    - by user1637113
    I have a timesheet spreadsheet for our company and I need to sort the employees by each timesheet block (15 rows by 20 columns). I have the following code which I had help with, but the array quits sorting once it comes to a block without an employee name (I would like these to be shuffled to the bottom). Another complication I am having is there are numerous formulas in these cells and when I run it as is, it removes them. I would like to keep these intact if at all possible. Here's the code: function sortSections() { var activeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet(); //SETTINGS var sheetName = activeSheet.getSheetName(); //name of sheet to be sorted var headerRows = 53; //number of header rows var pageHeaderRows = 5; //page totals to top of next emp section var sortColumn = 11; //index of column to be sorted by; 1 = column A var pageSize = 65; var sectionSize = 15; //number of rows in each section var col = sortColumn-1; var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(sheetName); var data = sheet.getRange(headerRows+1, 1, sheet.getMaxRows()-headerRows, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues(); var data3d = []; var dataLength = data.length/sectionSize; for (var i = 0; i < dataLength; i++) { data3d[i] = data.splice(0, sectionSize); } data3d.sort(function(a,b){return(((a[0][col]<b[0][col])&&a[0][col])?-1:((a[0][col]>b[0][col])?1:0))}); var sortedData = []; for (var k in data3d) { for (var l in data3d[k]) { sortedData.push(data3d[k][l]); } } sheet.getRange(headerRows+1, 1, sortedData.length, sortedData[0].length).setValues(sortedData);

  • Tasks API using Google Apps Script (complete task)

    - by Cartman
    I am trying to set the status of a task as completed using Tasks API. It shows that the code has completed successfully, but the task is not being marked as completed. Also, when I try to get the status of the task after update, it shows status as "needsAction". Here is my code function setTaskStatus(){ // Suppose a task with name "MyTaskListName" is contained //within task list with name "MyTaskName" var tasklist = Tasks.Tasklists.list().getItems(); var title = 'MyTaskListName'; var id; for(var i in tasklist){ if(title == tasklist[i].getTitle()){ id = tasklist[i].getId(); } } //Get the task list items var tasks = Tasks.Tasks.list(id).getItems(); for(var i in tasks){ if(tasks[i].getTitle() == 'MyTaskName'){ tasks[i].setStatus("completed");// set status completed Logger.log(tasks[i].getStatus());// this shows that the task has completed //But it does not reflect actually } } }

  • Tomcat web application intermittent freeze

    - by tinny
    I have a Grails web application (just a standard war file) deployed on a Ubuntu 10.10 server running on tomcat 6. My database is postgresql. The problem is that every so often (once or twice a day after inactivity) when I try to log into this web application it just freezes. I can navigate to the login page but when I try and login (first time the DB is hit, might be a clue..?) the application just freezes indefinitely, no 500 response code... the browser just waits and waits. I followed the instructions detailed here because the problem described sounded the same as mine. My GC logging showed no long running GC, all sub sec. When the application freezes a jmap heap output is... using parallel threads in the new generation. using thread-local object allocation.

  • How to get full query string parameters not UrlDecoded

    - by developerit
    Introduction While developing Developer IT’s website, we came across a problem when the user search keywords containing special character like the plus ‘+’ char. We found it while looking for C++ in our search engine. The request parameter output in ASP.NET was “c “. I found it strange that it removed the ‘++’ and replaced it with a space… Analysis After a bit of Googling and Reflection, it turns out that ASP.NET calls UrlDecode on each parameters retreived by the Request(“item”) method. The Request.Params property is affected by this two since it mashes all QueryString, Forms and other collections into a single one. Workaround Finally, I solve the puzzle usign the Request.RawUrl property and parsing it with the same RegEx I use in my url re-writter. The RawUrl not affected by anything. As its name say it, it’s raw. Published on http://www.developerit.com/

  • Using a service registry that doesn’t suck part II: Dear registry, do you have to be a message broker?

    - by gsusx
    Continuing our series of posts about service registry patterns that suck, we decided to address one of the most common techniques that Service Oriented (SOA) governance tools use to enforce policies. Scenario Service registries and repositories serve typically as a mechanism for storing service policies that model behaviors such as security, trust, reliable messaging, SLAs, etc. This makes perfect sense given that SOA governance registries were conceived as a mechanism to store and manage the policies...(read more)

  • Agile SOA Governance: SO-Aware and Visual Studio Integration

    - by gsusx
    One of the major limitations of traditional SOA governance platforms is the lack of integration as part of the development process. Tools like HP-Systinet or SOA Software are designed to operate by models on which the architects dictate the governance procedures and policies and the rest of the team members follow along. Consequently, those procedures are frequently rejected by developers and testers given that they can’t incorporate it as part of their daily activities. Having SOA governance products...(read more)

  • WebCenter Spaces 11g - UI Customization

    - by john.brunswick
    When developing on top of a portal platform to support an intranet or extranet, a portion of the development time is spent adjusting the out-of-box user templates to adjust the look and feel of the platform for your organization. Generally your deployment will not need to look like anything like the sites posted on http://cssremix.com/ or http://www.webcreme.com/, but will meet business needs by adjusting basic elements like navigation, color palate and logo placement. After spending some time doing custom UI development with WebCenter Spaces 11G I have gathered a few tips that I hope can help to speed anyone's efforts to quickly "skin" a WebCenter Spaces deployment. A detailed white paper was released that outlines a technique to quickly update the UI during runtime - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11120_cust_skins_runtime_wp.pdf. Customizing at "runtime" means using CSS and images to adjust the page layout and feel, which when creatively done can change the pages drastically. WebCenter also allows for detailed templates to manage the placement of major page elements like menus, sidebar, etc, but by adjusting only images and CSS we can end up with something like the custom solution shown below. view large image Let's dive right in and take a look at some tools to make our efforts more efficient.

  • iPhone 3G refuses to transfer purchased apps to iTunes

    - by andynormancx
    My iPhone 3G refuses to transfer purchased apps to iTunes. This is causing me major problems with syncing. Whenever I attempt to transfer apps from the iPhone to iTunes it goes through the motions, but never actually transfers anything. It displays the various apps in the info area at the top of the screen, but the progress bar never advances. In comparison when I sync other iPhones, using the same install of iTunes, the progress bar advances and apps are transferred. The same also happens on clean installs of iTunes on other computers, it seems to be my iPhone that is the common factor. I have tried restoring the phone from a backup, which makes no difference. This started happening months ago and the phone has since been upgraded to 3.0 and 3.1, but the problem still persists. Originally it was just a minor irritation, but I made and attempt to fix it which has made things worse. I deleted all the apps from with iTunes and then did "Transfer purchases" in the hope that it might fix something. It didn't fix anything. Also, I cannot now sync at all. If I do sync iTunes now does "transferring purchases", fails to transfer and then deletes all the apps (and data) from my iPhone. It also means I can't sync music, podcasts or anything else. I can't sync anything else, because I can't temporarily turn off app syncing because then iTunes warns that the apps on the iPhone will be deleted. I also tried de-authorising and re-authorising. What can I do to get app syncing working again ? P.S. I have considered deleting all the apps and reinstalling them one by one, in the hope that it will fix the problem. However I don't really want to embark on doing that for 55+ apps and re-entering login details etc for the apps that need them, especially as I might then find out it didn't solve the problem. Update: The latest update to iTunes 9 has improved things in one key aspect. If I let a sync run to completion iTunes no longer deletes all the apps from my phone. So I can now sync all my other data, even if I still can't sync my apps. Resolved: See my answer to the question for how I finally resolved the problem.

  • Inside Red Gate - The Office

    - by Simon Cooper
    The vast majority of Red Gate is on the first and second floors (the second and third floors in US parlance) of an office building in Cambridge Business Park (here we are!). As you can see, the building is split into three sections; the two wings, and the section between them. As well as being organisationally separate, the four divisions are also split up in the office; each division has it's own floor and wing, so everyone in the division is working together in the same area (.NET and DBA on the left, SQL Tools and New Business on the right). The non-divisional parts of the business share wings with the smaller divisions, again keeping each group together. The canteen One of the downsides of divisionalisation is that communication between people in different decisions is greatly reduced. This is where the canteen (aka the SQL Servery) comes in. Occupying most of the central section on the first floor, the canteen provides free cooked lunch every day, and is where everyone in the company gathers for lunch. The idea is to encourage communication between the divisions; having lunch with people in a different division you wouldn't otherwise talk to helps people keep track of what's going on elsewhere in the company. (I'm still amazed at how the canteen staff provide a wide range of superbly cooked food for over 200 people out of a kitchen in which, if you were to swing a cat, it would get severe head injuries.). There's also table tennis and table football tables that anyone can use, provided you can grab them when they're free! Office layout Cubicles are practically unheard of in the UK, and no one, including the CEOs, has separate offices. The entire office is open-plan, as you can see in this youtube video from when we first moved in (although all the empty desks are now full!). Neil & Simon, instead of having dedicated offices, move between the different divisions every few months to keep up to date with what's going on around the company; sitting with a division gives you a much better overall impression of how the division's doing than written status reports from the division heads. There's also the usual plethora of meeting rooms scattered around the place; when we first moved in in 2009 we had a competition to name them all. We've got Afoxalypse A & B, Seagulls A & B, Traffic Jam, Thinking Hats, Camelids A & B, Horses, etc. All the meeting rooms have pictures on the walls corresponding to their theme, which adds a nice bit of individuality to otherwise fairly drab meeting rooms. Generally, any meeting room can be booked by anyone at any time, although some groups have priority in certain rooms (Camelids B is used a lot for UX testing, the Interview Room is used for, well, interviews). And, as you can see from the video, each area has various pictures, post-its, notes, signs, on the walls to try and stop it being a dull office space.
