I am trying to find a good open source XML authoring tool so the work flow between the client and the developers will be a bit more streamlined. We are basically developing a lot of XML driven micro websites for various clients and products. And often the clients want to have a little content change here and there. Sometimes just to cha...
For example, I'm looking at the jCalendar source, and the creator has two different parts of the plugin, one function under "jQuery.jcalendar" and another "jQuery.fn.jcalendar". What is the purpose of having the two separated? What one do over the other? ...
I want to write an tutorial which I want to publish as PDF. I love Apple Pages, but unfortunately I don't see how it would support Programming Code Listings. I am sure here are a few book authors who can tell us what tools they used to create their programming books. Well actually I think it would just be enough to have an box where I c...
Framemaker is just too expensive. The book will have source code (listings) and needs an subject index, and a lot of styles formatting. (on Mac OS X) ...
I have the opportunity to get involved in authoring a programming book on a relatively new and interesting technology. For those who don't know authoring a programming book is really an investment in your own technical knowledge and reputation. The raw money you are going to make out of it is not likely to ever be particularly signif...
Hi. I d like to know what exactly is behind term "Multimedia Authoring Services". Any related examples about it? Does this service exists nowadays? Does creating a dvd or media player related software belong to such services? Thank you in advance! ...
Hi, I'm creating a newspaper authoring system. Today I'm using Aspose.Words library to generate newspaper using Docx format as output, based on a lot of other documents as input. The basic idea is to load a lot of articles documents into a List, then generate a final docx with newspaper. We need to get the total height of a text (with...
I significantly modified some BSD licensed code. Can I add myself as the author to the Copyright statement list under the 'redistribution clause'? ...
I maintain 2 identities one for open source development - which doesn't really contain any personal information. I also have another identity obviously - my real one. This may be community wiki - but my question is programming related in that when you put software out there, you publish it with some name as the author, and that choice m...
So I've been using Flash for awhile, but rarely ever use the authoring tool. I want to create a quick little slideshow in which a user clicks buttons, and assets on the screen fade in an out as you move from slide to slide. I don't want to do this programatically...what's the quickest route to go about doing this, with using some AS3 bu...
I've been developing Rails apps now for about a year and am starting on a new project (that's actually 3 projects). I'd like to write some gems that can be shared amongst these projects to maintain a common code-base. They'll likely eventually evolve into Rails engines at some point, but to start, just common libraries that can be incl...
I'm writing a new gem I'm basing off of Yehuda's new gem template and I'm slightly confused. Having a Gemfile with dependencies, and also specifying a gemspec with dependencies seems redundant to me. Can someone explain why this is desirable and if it's truly necessary? Note, this is the first gem I've ever written so I'm new to all o...
Please bear with me, I'm a gem authoring noob. Thus far, I haven't even been able to find formal Bundler API documentation, so I'm having a hard time adhering to best practices and knowing what commands do what, and what api changes are happening aside from the small amount of docs on the Bundler website. So my first gem was based ...
In such a case what are the conditions that I need to fulfill to not violate GPL, LGPL, CC licences? Looking at wikipedia entry for CC, it seems I can use only CC-BY, and CC-SA license but I am not clear as to how and where in my book I need to add attribution for the author whose images (under CC-BY) I would use. It is also not clear th...
