Well, I can get the dbd-odbc gem installed just fine, but when it comes to trying to install the binding i...
In several years I am using my workstation as development environment. I think that most of web developers use their workstation for running their servers, Apache, Tomcat, Mongrel etc. I have been working in a company that have a Unix development server in another city, with the document root folder share with samba.

Greetings. This is second time I've actually spotted this problem with VS 2008 TS with TFS addon installed on top. The problem is that at some point, when you actively work with Shelve/Unshelve changes from TFS, the Shelve changes window (when you hit "Shelve" button) hangs and hangs whole VS.

Most of the project artifacts (build time, run time libraries) needed by our development environment is handled dynamically via maven dependencies. But there are other programs which have to be used for all developer accounts before they can reliably use the system (e.g. JDK, Ant, svn client or tortoise svn, eclipse, maven, jboss appserv...

What would the proper steps be to create a new EJB3 pr...

Hi all, I've inherited a Classic ASP application that requires some maintenance. What's the most up to date/capable IDE and Operation System that I can use to perform this maintenance? I'll be setting up the Env in a VM - so won't be tied to it full time. Hopefully there's something newer than Visual Interdev for me to use. Ideally I...
This week I’m going to try and start the move from Windows XP to Windows 7 on my development PC at work. I’ve downloaded the Windows Easy Transfer app for going from XP to Win7; that should take care of My Documents. My concern is all of the development environment. In particular I’m concerned about re-establishing things like my Wind...
For those of you that use Mercurial with the MQ extension: This is the second time I accidentally submit changes to the central repository (hg push) instead of applying a patch to my working directory (hg qpush).
