Does anyone know if there is a c# Console app, similar to the Python or Ruby console? I know the whole "Compiled versus Interpreted" difference, but with C#'s reflection power I think it could be done. UPDATE Well, it only took about 200 lines, but I wrote a simple one...It works a lot like osql. You enter commands and then run them wit...
Where can I find an online interactive console for my favorite language/api? Ruby Python? PHP? Perl? Scheme? Java? C? ...
How can I start an interactive console for Perl, similar to the irb command for Ruby or python for Python? ...
Hi. I'm looking to create a "Countries You've Visited" map - just like the ones you've probably seen on Facebook, TravelAdvisor and whatnot. I've tried different flash kits, but they're not quite as advanced as I'd like them to be. The main problem I've encountered with all the different kits is changing the background color on a count...
When using PyWin I can easily load a python file into a fresh interactive shell and I find this quite handy for prototyping and other exploratory tasks. I would like to use Komodo as my python editor, but I haven't found a replacement for PyWin's ability to restart the shell and reload the current module. How can I do this in Komodo? ...
This is intentionally left broad. If you wanted to show users what iPhone/mobile applications could to for them. The more interactive the better, but it must be quick to build as you can't code up every idea. Let us assume real-time games are out of scope. Throw out ideas or state which approach would be best. Here are some of my id...
I'm debugging my Python code in Eclipse using the Pydev plugin. I'm able to open a Pydev console and it gives me two options: "Console for currently active editor" and "Python console". However none of them is useful to inspect current variable status after a breakpoint. For example, the code stopped at a breakpoint and I want to inspec...
What is a good way to implement keyboard handling? In any language, where I write a keyboard-interactive program (such as a tetris game), I end up having some code that looks like this: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == KEYDOWN: if False: pass #make everything an elif elif rotating: pass ...
I mainly use the MySQL GUI tools. This allows me to easily see the results in a table as well as to quick edits and bookmark frequently run queries. This suits my needs far better than the command line. I remember when I used to do this on Oracle DBs years ago I could put variables in the query itself, so that when running the query I g...
Suppose you have a history containing the three commits A, B and C: A-B-C I would like to combine the two commits A and B to one commit AB: AB-C I tried git rebase -i A which opens up my editor with the following contents: pick e97a17b B pick asd314f C I change this to squash e97a17b B pick asd314f C Then Git 1.6.0.4 says:...
I need to write a simple command-line application in Java. It would be nice to use a library that takes care of parsing commands and takes care of things like flags and optional/mandatory parameters... UPDATE Something that has built-in TAB completion would be particularly great. ...
I've seen a couple of Python IDE's (e.g. PyDev Extensions, WingIDE) that provide a debug console - an interactive terminal that runs in the context of the method where the breakpoint is. This lets you print members, call other methods and see the results, and redefine methods to try to fix bugs. Cool. Can anyone tell me how this is impl...
I use a terminal (9term) that does command-line editing itself - programs that use readline just get in its way. It's fully utf-8 aware. How can I make an interactive python session disable readline while retaining utf-8 input and output? Currently I use: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 export LANG cat | python -i however this causes sys.stdin.enco...
I watched the Creating a weblog in 15 minutes with Rails 2 and after 9 minutes in the video he shows ruby's interactive debugger, which allows you to call functions/methods from within a running script. This goes way beyond breakpoints and looks very useful. Is there something for PHP that gives similar functionality? ...
There's a requirement in my project to execute interactive shell scripts remotely through a web GUI. This means that stuff printed to the standard output of the script has to be made available on the GUI, and the user input has to be taken from the GUI and written to the standard input of the script. My questions are (a) Is this is a go...
In the bad old days of interactive console applications, Don Libes created a tool called Expect, which enabled you to write Tcl scripts that interacted with these applications, much as a user would. Expect had two tremendous benefits: It was possible to script interactions that otherwise would have had to be repeated by hand, tediousl...
I have been given the opportunity to give a small presentation to a group of young children about what I do as a software developer. I have a few ideas kicking around for how to make this interactive and entertaining for them while still getting my points across. Ideally I would like to capture that feeling of working with pure ideas, ...
I am trying to identify the right tool, language, software package, or other for the automated development of presentations, where the presentation is user interactive. The presentation will consist of images with titles and some descriptive text. Most of the time there will be 35–70 images. I would like to show each image on a separate...
Do you know more interactive tutorials/courses like Try Ruby? (tryruby.hobix.com) Once a friend showed me a similar tutorial but for learning C, it was an amazing little program for DOS. Anyone know it? ...
A colleague has a batch script program which needs to to run on a Windows Server in console mode, so that it has access to a Windows interactive session. The server is rebooted at regular intervals automatically (there's an unrelated closed-source application that runs on this machine that we have no control over). After a reboot he want...
