Problem is that I'm using images (many images that I load from a web service). I'm facing the following issues. The memory keeps increasing when I scroll in the table view (why?) - I checked the...
What is the best way to avoid that an application is copied and used without the owner’s knowing? Is there any way to trace the usage? Meaning periodically the application communicates back, with enough information so that we can know where it is, and if it’s legal. Next thing, of course, shut it down, if it’s not legit. ...
I have a degree in software development but found a job as a tester, I feel like testing has made me a better developer (before I'm even a developer). I have noticed that the applications I make for myself, friends, and family, have become better and more stable since working as a tester. I think it's a good way to start a development ...

Suppose the app you are working on is specially designed for a customer to meet a particular 'in-house' need, such as data processing of payroll information. This application will not be distributed publicly and will reside on internal networks only. (Theoretically the internal network should remain 100% secure.) How much effort sho...

I'm a highly skilled Java dev contemplating learning iPhone development. Mac only dev aspects aside, how much of a leap would learning the mobile application stack be?

Now one way to solve this, is to use a manual time tracker (worked from: to:). I've ran into problems with this, because I only manage to use it consistently for the first week or two. So I'd like to track developme...
Sometimes, you stumble with programming. Sometimes, it's a lack of creativity, sometimes, you need a new solution. But there are a lot of situations, you stick in, every time they occur. For myself, it's when I have to create the interface between model and viewer. I designed my data structure very well and drew a GUI prototype, but th...

I have been trying to find a book or web reference that gives me good understanding on how to build, test, and deploy ASP.NET pages, controls, and web parts to a SharePoint web site. All I have found so far is either draggy-droppy stuff or administration stuff. Is SharePoint really flexible with ASP.NET when is comes to extending it? A ...

Edit: Seriously, what's the problem with this question? If someone convinces me, I'll take it down myself. Regardless of libraries, tools, skeleton apps .. How fast can you put together a Demo?

The company that I work for develops a C++ application to manage service businesses (dispatching, GPS tracking, CRM, etc). The problem is that the system is a little too limited.
