I've had several clients ask this, and I've never been able to get or give a satisfactory answer. Can you (practically) put a working form into an HTML email? My understanding is that you can, but that there's no guarantee of email clients properly handling it, so that method would only be practical with individual recipients that you'd...
I’ve to build a HTML survey builder application with an AJAXified user interface (i.e.Wufoo,...). The typical survey will be multistep with multi-dependencies between form fields/questions, public access most of the time, and export results to PDF + CSV. Have been studying/testing some PHP frameworks ( CodeIgniter, Symfony and CakePHP)...
I've tried to research this through searching, but got nowhere. Has anyone done a survey of open source programmers to answer questions such as: Do you do this as part of your job? If so, how much of your job is it? If you do it in your spare time, how much time do you spend on it? Are you a student? What motivates you? I'm amazed at...
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any (preferably open source, or cost) web controls for survey management, that can be used in the .NET environment. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated, thanks. ...
What technologies/languages/applications do you think have hit their peak on Windows platforms, those that are or should be slated for obsolescence? My votes, might be wishful thinking in some regards: VBScript Microsoft Access ODBC Flash I ask because we are in the process of setting future directions for technologies and applicati...
I am developing a very small survey application, likely 3-4 pages web application. so my question is what is the best way to save survey data? by the way so far I have come up with the following ways. save to database and mark each survey as incomplete. when user submits last form of the survey check completeness of the survey and m...
It seems there are many 'new' languages around but in reality it seems like most of the popular, non experimental, ones are already in their teens and the truely mainstream are older than most junior programmers. Now I just remembered this obvious fact when I realized even the 'hip' Ruby language is 15 this month (February 1994). While s...
I'm a total newbie when it comes to SQL. I'm making a site in ASP.NET for doing surveys. A privileged admin user will be able to build a survey. Then lots of other people will respond to the survey. Once I have the set of questions for a new survey, what is the best way to automatically construct a table and an INSERT query to store t...
Is there an open source survey engine for java that will allow branching of questions? i.e. Question 1 has the options of A, B, or C and they each take you to a different set of follow-up questions. I've found a couple (JSurveyLib and Socrates QE), but those seem to be very tied to a GUI. The application that I'm writing has a java bac...
Everyone has their views on when and where to increase performance, so that's not of interest here, but I was wondering at what point a performance gain becomes worthy of promotion (say from branch development into the trunk, or enough to be placed on some progress report or whatever). For example my rule-of-thumb is a 10% performance b...
I need to add survey capability to my social website so that each user is able to create and manage their own surveys/polls etc. Can anyone recommend any existing application for this? PHP-MySQL combo preferred. ...
Note: this is NOT like this question I've been tasked to construct a survey that our customer service people can use to get info from our customers about our service etc. My question is how to store the questions/answers in the db where the questions are stored like so: boolean question1 if (false): string question2 (typically the ...
I remember the days of Shadowrun that got me excited about hacking. There is CodeWar and LightBot which are both fun (though CoreWar is a little dated). What other games are there involving coding that are fun and challenging that can be used to get someone excited about coding or flex their chops or even learn the basics? ...
Well this question is asked by Scott at Scott Hanselman's blog, but I want to introduce over here. What were the Three Things You Learned About Software WHILE NOT in University? ...
This is definitely subjective, and answers will necessarily involve guess work but thought some answers might be interesting. So: What percentage of your code is still in production? (how do you decide what "your" code is - up to you) and How old is the oldest code of yours that you know is still out there? ...
Hi, We need to implement a survey which will allow the following: Question 1: How many cars do you own? Answer: Dropdown (Values range from 1 - 5) Based on the answer to this question, we need the same set of questions asked 5 times. for e.g., what is the colour and make of your car...and so on. Is there a way to achieve this with Sh...
Are there any surveys anywhere which report on number of projects and/or people using the assorted Free version control systems? Also interesting is if a similar survey was one over time, to see how things have changed. Obviously, it's hard to measure this sort of thing completely accurately, but it should still be possible to get reas...
I want to analyze answers to a web survey (Git User's Survey 2008 if one is interested). Some of the questions were free-form questions, like "How did you hear about Git?". With more than 3,000 replies analyzing those replies entirely by hand is out of the question (especially that there is quite a bit of free-form questions in this surv...
What are all the computer languages that exist, and how many people use them? Oh, and the VAX BASIC I used in the late 1980's was NOT the same as the BASIC on MS-DOS. Fortran IV and Fortran 77 were also significantly different. Hmmm... but if different versions are that much different, then perhaps it should be limited to current lang...
