Software Synth Library for Java

I've been thinking a lot lately about a music-oriented project I'd like to work on. Kind of like a game... kind of like a studio workstation (FL Studio, Reason). I guess the best way to describe it would be: like "Guitar Hero", but with no canned tracks. All original music--composed by you, on the fly--but the software would use its kno...

Is there a .NET library for universal audio file decoding?

Do you know of any .NET library which can decode several types of audio files? Ideally, it should be platform agnostic, so it can be used with .NET and Mono - on Windows and *NIX. I already tortured Google searching for a library which meets my needs, but unfortunately I could not find anything. So before writing a lot of wrapper classe...

Why is my parameter passed by reference not modified within the function ?

I am developing an iphone application and have to parse xml files in order to put them into a database. I will also be using those same xml parsers in my app so users can import their own data.

Symbolic math lib

I have a planned project that will need to manipulate symbolic expressions like: a * b = c^2 + sin(d) I'm wondering what libs are out there for this kind of thing. Two that I found a while ago are openaxiom and FriCAS. neither of these seem like a good fit. An ideal lib would be a light as possible. At a minimum it must be able to de...

Dynamic breadcrumb generation - how to do?

I'm in the early phases of developing a brand spanking new site with Spring + Tiles. The site needs dynamically generated breadcrumbs. What I mean by dynamic is that the user may reach a certain site from multiple starting points. If I have views for Customers, Orders and Products, the user could reach a Product directly: Products -> P...

asp.net frameworks and libraries every developer should know...and use

I'm still kinda new in ASP.NET and recently I found out about SubSonic, which I started to use. Now it seems funny and such a waste of time (and nerves) when I look back into times when I was developing without SubSonic and jQuery. And there probably are a lot of libraries and frameworks that speeds up development. Which ones do you use?...

Need assistance with serial port communications in Ruby

From my research, it appears that there aren't many modern libraries for serial communications and the newest material I can find is from 2006. Are there any gems that I'm not aware of? I ultimately need to maintain communications with a serial device attached to USB (I can ...

When will most libraries be Python 3 compliant?

Does anyone have an idea how long it will take before "almost all" widely used Python libraries work with Python 3.0? I am planning to stay on 2.X for a while because I don't want to start porting stuff over and then find that some library I already rely on or a new library I might start using doesn't work yet with py3k.

Standard connection libraries for MySQL, MSSQL, and Oracle in PHP

Hello, I'm looking for a standard way to connect to databases in PHP. We've all been there - first start with some rudimentary code to connect/query/iterate/insert/disconnect, then the code grew as the program grew, and it ended up with a mess that's hardly reusable. I know there are many PEAR, PECL, and other PHP libraries/classes out...

My application consists of a few shared libraries and the main application is linked against them. How can I apply the typical linux versioning scheme on my libraries? (Use version 2 -> link against foo.so.2 that points to foo.so.2...
