Other than the obvious ongoing legal issues surrounding jalibreaking the iPhone, does using an jailbroken phone for "official legal SDK development" cause any issues? Bascially can a jailbroken iPhone work fine for a production development environment, allowing the same provisioning, testing, etc as a stock iPhone in terms of the SDK a...
I'm creating a database from scratch. I'm not intended to make it public, it's just my small project for my own purpose. ;-) I have already implemented B+-tree indexes, searching, inserting, deletion and many other basic features... But now, I want to know how to implement advanced topics as Transactions or Replication. Is there any goo...

Hi there folks. Probably a bit off topic question, but it's something I'm really interested in getting to know from other people with different experience and backgrounds. How do you keep track of your huge projects? Do you use subversion? EER-models? Do you write notes? Does all your faith lie in phpdoc? Which framework do you use, and...

I, on the other hand have just started, am pre...
Our company has recently decided that a good section of our IT department is actually doing product development and not internal IT development and now has created a new department. What are the types of changes that developers should be looking to make during this type of transition? Is there really any difference between internal d...
I've built a customer relationship management system in PHP which generates Quotes, Orders and Invoices and I am at a loss on the best way to structure the system. I currently have one table for each type (quote, order, invoice) and about 20 different pages for displaying the input forms and saving the data back to the database. This is...
I have just walked out of a meeting room steaming after having to unsuccessfully argue the case for retaining our (development team's) Domain Admin / Oracle DBA access privileges. We support day to day production issues as well as a nationally critical process that happens three times a week. On top of this our DBA has no SQL experience ...
I have created an MS Access 2003 application, set up as a split front-end/back-end configuration, with a user group of about five people. The front end .mdb sits on a network file server, and it contains all the queries, forms, reports, and VBA code, plus links to all the tables in the back end .mdb and some links to ODBC data sources li...
Hi, I have been developing a plugin for Eclipse. The plugin has a couple of views that need to update when the caret moves in the active editor to reflect the outer method. Currently, I am getting an ASTNode that represents the outer method using the ASTParser class on the whole source for the file and then traversing its hierarchy unt...
I have several actions that are protected by filters that check for logged_in? and admin? and spit out 401 or 403 errors respectively if the tests fail. What's a good way of getting around these filters in development mode only so I can test out my app? I can't go through the actual login procedure because it relies on infrastructure I...
So, I'm planning on buying a laptop for development purposes. I want a windows based machine, however since I want to run IIS (a requirement for sql server) I need the professional edition of the software. All vendors seem to provide only the home edition of the OS. I don't want to buy the home edition only to have to buy the professi...

I want to trial Windows 7 but wondered if anyone who has done so already ran into any issues specifically related to development? i.e. problems with VS2008, SQL Management Studio and SQL Server, MySQL, PHP etc. etc. Examples from XP -> Vista: in Vista there was a sudden loss of an SMTP server. And there were initially (if I remember co...
Hello, I just posted a question about whether WPF is a good choice for a long term project, and it got me thinking in general about development for long term projects. If you have to choose the technology (language/environment/framework) for a project that is expected to last for many years (at least 10), what would you choose? Which t...
Hi, I want to learn more on how to build CEP based applications. So I looked around and found several products (overview found here: http://rulecore.com/CEPblog/?page_id=47). But as there are quite a few at the moment, I don't know which is the best to start with. And overall I just would consider the one available for free. The rest i...
