I just got this Chumby thing for Christmas. I was thinking of writing a StackOverflow widget for it. Does anyone know any caveats to programming this, or especially good things for chumby virgins to know? I have not yet begun to do my research. I guess it's just a Linux device which runs java widgets.
I often get asked the questions in an interview that "what is an outer join in SQL"?
While it can be answered, I wonder what might be some classic and good real life examples where a (LEFT) OUTER JOIN is used?

Hi there,
Does anyone know of a good open source toolkit that allows level designer and graphic designer or someone with basic programming experience to create multiplayer online Role Playing Game ? The game can be a simple 2D interface in a 2d virtual world.
I know Microsoft have a starter kit something like the following :
http://creators.xna.com/en-US/starterkit/roleplayinggame
that allows developer to create RPG game running on XBox platform but i am looking more on multiplayer role playing game on the web platform where player can play directly with their browser.
regards
Andrew

I'm an Android Developer and as part of my next app I will need to evaluate a large variety of user created mathematical expressions and equations. I am looking for a good java library that is lightweight and can evaluate mathematical expressions using user defined variables and constants, trig and exponential functions, etc.

Sometimes I find myself struggling because I feel I don't know JavaScript as well as I should.
I spent a lot of time reading blogs and tutorials on the Net regarding how to do this and that with VS2010, but I thought it would be better to learn it in a more systematic way.

Many developers or teams seem to want to develope there features in isolation. I'm all for continuous integration and team work and I'm having hard time to figuring out if there are any good reasons from technical perspective in developing feature in isolation.
When I'm building a class library I usually create a file Enums.cs to hold all the enums used in the assembly. Here is an example:
namespace MyNamespace
{
public enum Colors
{
Red,
Green,
Blue
}
public enum Shapes
{
Circle,
Square,
Triangle
}
}
This makes all my enums easy to find, well organized and easy to access in code.
I'm wondering if there is any reason why this would not be such a good idea?

Where can I find a good XMPP (Jabber) tutorial with detailed information on the XML that's sent to/from a Jabber client and server. I've looked at the xmpp.org website, but what they show there is confusing and doesn't help me learn.
I want to write an XMPP client in C# that uses a TcpClient to connect to the server and send/receive XML data.
Hi,
Does anyone know of a good way to have a user enter an amount of time (hours and minutes) using visual studio controls? At the moment i have two numeric up downs, one for time and one for minutes that i then parse to create a timespan. The only other idea i have is a text box that a user can enter a "00:00" time in, and validate the input. Both of these ways seem a bit bad (in UI terms) though.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm just digging into the gcc manual and some things are still unclear to me:
When specifying a std, should I always use -pedantic in conjunction?
When using -g, it the standard level sufficient or should I specify level 3, i.e.
-g3?
Is it good practice to use -Werror to promote all warnings to errors and -pedantic-errors to promote all pedantic warnings to errors?

I'm using a customly created MySQL input sanitization library in one of my controllers, which makes a mess, using it in the model would be much easier, but I don't wan't to defy any best-practice principles out there either. So is it a good idea?
