I recently got interested in web development coming from kernel based applications. I am curious to what the best development environment and language that one can use to build a nice looking website. I have a distant familiarity with PHP, CSS and the like but I am comfortable with HTML. ...
I'm guessing this depends on the OS, among other things. I would guess that development for Windows using DirectX would "force" people to use Visual Studio, but is that always the case? What about when OpenGL is the graphics API? How about Java? Is Eclipse the norm? UPDATED: I guess the general consensus is that there aren't really...
I moved to Delphi 2007 in early 2008. It took a long time to migrate all my tools and components, and I'm not in a hurry to do that again. I moved from Delphi 6. (Bought D2006, but didn't use it much, due to the migration headaches). The MSDN / F1 help "integration" though, continues to drive me nuts pretty regularly. I access the D...
In Visual Studio, there is a handy IDE shortcut for directly jumping to a file, i.e. CTRL-/ (to select the Find combo-box) Then type in ">open myclass.cs" This is much quicker than navigating through the Solution explorer to open the specified class. However, if you try and open the code part of a form (not the designer part) in this ...
I'm trying to understand the basics of practical programming around character encodings. A few things to consider: I know how to read a file whose encoding is different, and convert it to the console's encoding. But when I try to convert literal strings that appear in source code, for some reason, it doesn't always work: In IntelliJ'...
Today I realized that I no longer have a ”Web Content Form” option (where you select a MasterPage) when I add new items to my ASP.NET web application. I know how to manually add a MasterPage to a web form, it’s just such a pain – and I really don’t understand why Web Content Forms suddenly are missing. Visual Studio Team System 2008, SP...
Hello, I'm using the Spring IDE plugin with Eclipse 3.4 (finally decided to upgrade), and I have several projects which use the Webflow integration that comes with the Spring IDE plugin. For some reason, I can't view anything having to do with Spring Webflow in Eclipse 3.4. It worked just fine in 3.3, but not 3.4. Has anybody encount...
Running Delphi 2007 (and probably other versions as well, I'm guessing), if I right-click on a project in the Project Manager (either EXE of BPL in this case), there is a "Clean" command above Compile and Build. What exactly does it do? ...
Every once in a while I'm editing some long pair of if-then-else statements (or worse, nested if-then-else statements) , like, say, this: if A < B then begin DoSomething; DoSomethingElse; {...and more statements going on and on and on...} FinallyWrapUpThisBit; end else begin DoThis; DoThat; {......
The language does not matter I just want to know what do you look at when you search for an IDE? Do you look for great debugging tools, do you look at the screenshots or do you download it and testrun it for a week? Do you look at videos of the product or do you ask on Stackoverflow what IDE you should look at? ...
It's annoying in VS2008 when I press the END key, and my cursor jumps out to way beyond the end of the line of code, because I have trailing whitespace from a copy+paste or reformat. I would like the END key to ignore whitespace. How can I best do this? I thought of using AutoHotkey to catch END keypresses, and replace them with "CTRL+...
OK, I realy searched on this one, also in stackOverflow. (E/TextMate is the closest I found in this topic, but it doesn't seem to be that big of deal) I tried emacs, but I don't seem to find a Haskell Mode for windows.. VisualHaskell doesn't seem to follow the new VisualStudio updates... I could try VIM, but does the Haskell Mode works...
In netbeans, if I select some text and press Tab, it works correctly and the text is indented to the right side as expected. But if I then try to backspace behind the text, it only removes one space at a time. Very annoying. Is there any way to change this setting, so backspacing behind a tabbed line causes the whole tab to be removed ...
How can I run my Carpet applications directly from Aptana Studio with RadRails? Setting the shoes.exe as VM/Interpreter won't work. ...
I've been using Emacs for quite some time for basic text editing but as of today I am attempting to use it for c++ compilation. I have looked for the past few hours about how to go about this but I keep hitting roadblocks in their techniques (I think some of this is having to do with the tutorials being outdated). Basically, all I want ...
I know there are many IDE related questions already answered on StackOverflow, but I have a strange request. I'm looking for a C++ IDE for Windows that is designed with Linux as a destination compile point. I just want to use it for syntax highlight, code completion, basic error detection, etc. In the end all code will be sftped over ...
is there a way in vim to get a popup window with function parameters? (like in visual studio / slick edit) e.g. when i type "function_name(" vim will open a popup window (like when doing ctrl-n in new versions) and show me the function parameters and which one of them i'm currently typing. p.s. i'm looking for something a bit more co...
I used to develop Java on the mac and it worked out well, combo of just using the terminal and IntelliJ. What are good tools that run on the mac for doing Ruby development ...
Good Day, I have a C# solution consisting of 12 projects. One project (called myControls) is where I'm creating custom Silverlight controls. I consume some of the controls under myControls in another project called (Viewer). I have verified that my namespaces and class names are correct under both projects. But then I try to referen...
When I call a external .exe program in python, how can I get the output of printf in .exe application and print them on python IDE? ...
