Ok, so as my first question, I go against the FAQ rules: this is a subjective and argumentative question... Sorry for that. Anyway, I was wondering what library power PHP dev were using. Not a full framework (like cakePHP), that forces you to code and organize files in a certain way, but a library, full of useful helpers, needed function...
Can anyone recommend a library for chart generation (bar charts, pie charts etc.) which runs on both Java and .Net? ...
Right now, I'm particularly interested in reading the data from MP3 files (ID3 tags?), but the more it can do (eg EXIF from images?) the better without compromising the ID3 tag reading abilities. I'm interested in making a script that goes through my media (right now, my music files) and makes sure the file name and directory path corre...
You see a lot of issues on TheDailyWorseThanFailure.com that all come down to people reinventing the wheel (poorly). How do you mitigate this? Is there a "best" approach to learning a new library/framework/etcetera? ...
I'm considering writing my own blog but I have had some issues deciding for an appropriate software. From my survey so far I have concluded that the easiest, most feature-rich, free software is Wordpress. However, I would very much like to use several components written in either Python or Ruby, e.g. either Pygments or CodeRay as a sourc...
I'm trying to create web applications that use Javascript. I'd like to be able to use animation in these applications. I've tried to use basic Javascript, but I've decided that the best thing to do is to use a library (such as YUI or JQuery). I'm running into a problem. On Safari, when I run animation scripts, the animation is very c...
Do you have a good experience with a control library? Something that is kind of robust, well documented, consistent (across different controls) and quite well integrated into the Visual Studio. ...
After the suggestion to use a library for my ajax needs I am going to use one, the problem is that there are so many and I've no idea how to even begin telling them apart. Thus, can anybody A) Give a rundown of the differences or B) Point me (and others like me) somewhere that has such a list. Failing that plan C is to go with whichever...
For applications, I usually head off to SourceForge, GoogleCode, and FreshMeat. But is there anywhere that deals exclusively in free libraries? A similar discussion is ongoing for Java, but I'm curious about all languages - Java, PHP, .NET, Ruby, C/C++, etc. It doesn't even have to be OO. ...
It may not be best practice but are there ways of removing unsused classes from a third party's jar files. Something that looks at the way in which my classes are using the library and does some kind of coverage analysis, then spits out another jar with all of the untouched classes removed. Obviously there are issues with this. Specif...
I am looking for simple straightforward solution for accessing EXIF information of jpeg images in .Net. Does anybody has experience with this? ...
I am looking for basic examples/tutorials on: How to write/compile libraries in C++ (.so files for Linux, .dll files for Windows) and... How to import and use those libraries in other code. Many thanks in advance! ...
Is it possible for gcc to link against a library that was created with Visual C++? If so, are there any conflicts/problems that might arise from doing so? ...
Do you know any libraries that would handle displaying of graph structures in .NET? I'm looking for something similar to java libraries: jgraph or Netbeans Visual Library. I'd like to display objects as nodes in the graph. ...
I was wondering if there is an open source library or algorithm that can expand a non-numeric range. For example, if you have 1A to 9A you should get 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A, 9A. I've tried Googling for this and the best I could come up with were Regex that would expand numerics with dashes (1-3 becoming 1,2,3). ...
Hello all, I'm curious about everyones practices when it comes to using or distributing libraries for an application that you write. First of all, when developing your application do you link the debug or release version of the libraries? (For when you run your application in debug mode) Then when you run your app in release mode just...
I like how SQLite library can be included into an application and the application has a full-fledged database to use. Similarly, is there an open source versioning library that I can include into my application so that I can save versions of files as well as do diffs and merges? ...
I have an inherited project that uses a build script (not make) to build and link the project with various libraries. When it performs a build I would like to parse the build output to determine what and where the actual static libraries being linked into the final executable are and where are they coming from. The script is compiling ...
Should libraries that the application relies on be stored in source control? One part of me says it should and another part say's no. It feels wrong to add a 20mb library that dwarfs the entire app just because you rely on a couple of functions from it (albeit rather heavily). Should you just store the jar/dll or maybe even the distribut...
Does anyone know of a good crash reporting library for C#? In C++ there is CrashRpt available, so I'd like something along those lines. Ideally I'd like the library to zip up general information about the computer, and a crash mini dump file. I would also need a library that is free for commercial use and that has source code availa...
