Does anyone know of a good (preferably open source) library for dealing with the Modbus protocol? I have seen a few libraries, but I am looking for some people's personal experiences, not just the top ten Google hits. I figure there has to be at least one other person who deals with PLCs and automation hardware like I do out there. Open...
I'm a little lost here. I don't know flash, but I want to learn - especially since Adobe's opened up the spec. I don't want to learn badly enough to shell out for the real tools, though. What sort of toolchain is available for flash/swf/flv/etc compiling, processing, converting, etc? What do I need to know, and where should I start? ...
I am just starting with a web application to maintain a household budget. I really want to opensource it and let anyone who wants to work on it do so, as it is a hobby I don't really have the time to develop on it that much well The only problem I have is that if this is an app I want to host on my domain, how do I go about doing th...

I want to be able to generate PDF ouput from my (native) C++ Windows application. Are there any free/open source libraries available to do this? I looked at the answers to this question, but they mostly relate to .Net. ...
I've been looking for one, but haven't been able to find anything that's even close. Edit: I really would prefer something that's completely written in PHP, with a web interface rather than a command line. It doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles. ...

In evaluating different systems integration strategies, I've come across some words of encouragement, but also some words of frustration over BizTalk Server. What are some pros and cons to using BizTalk Server (both from a developer standpoint and a business user), and should companies also consider open source alternatives? What viabl...
We're currently in the process of setting up a source control/build/and more-server for .NET development and we're thinking about either utilizing the Team Foundation Server (which costs a lot of dough) or combining several open source options, such as SourceForge Enterprise/GForge and Subversion and CruiseControl.net and so on. Has anyo...
I'm planning to start working in open source projects. Give me some ideas related to that and give references also. ...
Two reasons this would be useful, in case there's some other way to achieve these goals: 1) Building in the Flash IDE is really slow; I was hoping a third-party compiler would be faster. 2) It would be nice to be able to build projects on machines that don't have the Flash IDE installed. I'm familiar with other AS3 compilers that are out...
Are there any open-source libraries that all programmers should know about? I'm thinking something general, a sort of extension to the standard java.util that contains basic functions that are useful for all kinds of application. ...
What would you consider to be the best open source role model projects? I am curious about what projects to look at for inspiration in working on large projects, but I have heard rumors about some projects being over grown and quite messy. I'm less concerned with the size of the project or the language it's in, just that it's logically l...
