What is the best MySQL Client Application for Windows

Are there any MySQL Client applications for Windows that get even close to what the Enterprise Manager / Server Management Studio is for Microsoft SQL? I have two requirements and one "nice to have" feature: Editing table structure should not be a pain in the a** -> I don't want to click an "add another column" button, then edit the c...

Alternative "architectural" approaches to javaScript client code?

How is your javaScript code organized? Does it follow patterns like MVC, or something else? I've been working on a side project for some time now, and the further I get, the more my webpage has turned into a full-featured application.

Best Python supported server/client protocol?

I'm looking for a good server/client protocol supported in Python for making data requests/file transfers between one server and many clients. Security is also an issue - so secure login would be a plus. I've been looking into XML-RPC, but it looks to be a pretty old (and possibly unused these days?) protocol. Thanks for your help in ...

Is there an implementation of AJP protocole in Java ?

From Apache, you can use the "mod_jk" module to send http requests to Tomcat using the "AJP" protocole, which is far more efficient that http itself. I want to do the same, but from a Java program. I want to use "AJP" because of its good performances (and Tomcat is not bad after all). Of course, "google is my friend" (but I didn't find...

Design of high volume TCP Client

I have a .NET TCP Client that sends high volumes of messages to a (.NET async) TCP server. I need to keep sending messages to the server but I run out of ports on the client due to TIME_WAIT.

Let's say I've got a website that works better if a client has installed and logged into a desktop application.

I've been learning Java for about a month now, and not very familiar with a client/server situation like this one.

Synchronizing a variable between client and server

Hello, Say I've got a client-side counter variable. When I send a request to the server, I send this variable's value, then increment it by one (for the next request to the server).

With JSR 311 and it's implementations we have a powerful standard for exposing Java objects via Rest. However on the client side there seems to be something missing that is comparable to Apache Axis for SOAP - something that hides the web service and marshals the data transparently back to Java objects. How do you create Java RESTful cl...
