So apparently if I want to try my hand at iPhone/iPad dev I need a mac computer. But I'm cheap, and don't think dropping $1000 on an MacBook just to try iPhone development. SO I'm fishing through Craigslist and eBay and pawn shops looking for second-hand-ers, all the while wondering, how old is too old for iPhone dev? In particular, I'...
I'm jumping into updating a Classic ASP web app coming from a PHP background and am trying to get my bearings. I'm used to just installing something like MAMP, messing the httpd.conf a bit and getting on my way. Ideally, I would like to be able to edit this app completely locally on my Macbook Pro running OS X Leopard so that I'm not me...
Is there any way to use ASP.NET's 'web application root' operator ~ in a script tag? If not, is there any way to mimic such behavior? My application uses nested master pages for different sub directories; A content page uses its directory-specific master page, which uses the root master page. I'd like to be able to include my <script> t...

I've had several classes - university level - on Java. However, what these classes lack is some practical approach to Java - or, to programming as a whole. Things you can only learn in a business. However, since I am not allowed to use Java on the workfloor, I don't get to learn this now - even though I would like to. So I guess what I...
Hi, I've added a subdirectory app/renderers after Railscast #101. The classes in that directory are not getting reloaded by my development server. It's driving me a little bonkers. I've read everything I could find on forcing it to reload lib and/or plugins but this seems to be a different case since "everything under app should be rel...
How can I set a development environment for PHP on my Ubuntu (latest version) Virtual Machine? I'm going to install XAMPP (MySQL, PHP, Apache) and use that as a starting point. My intention is to eventually use a PHP framework like Kohana once I finish learning the basics. Can these XAMPP and Kohana be installed side by side? I'm used...

What I mean is that you could pay for remote desktop, citrix, or whatever into the machine so you would have access to these expensive tools? If not then this is a business idea. ...

I needed to install Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 for my dev work. I found that it does not install most of the dev tools/packages by default. What are the essential dev tools one needs?

I'm developing an application that requires testing email. I'm currently using wampserver, but it doesn't come with a mail server and setting one up has been a pain. Also if I use an external mail server like yahoo, I run into issues because wamp doesn't come with SSL which yahoo's mail server requires. So I'm trying to save myself...
