At my university most of my classes have been in Java. I have also recently learned C# (and the Visual Studio environment) at a summer internship. Now I'm taking an Intro to Computer Graphics class and the grad student teaching the class prefers us to use C++ to access the OpenGL bindings via GLUT. Does anyone have any good resources ...
I have a coworker who is looking to switch from InteilliJ Idea to Eclipse, and is concerned about not knowing the Eclipse set of commands. I was wondering - would anyone have a link to keyboard mappings that can set Eclipse commands to at least sort of match Idea? Have you made this switch? Any "gotchas", tips, or info we should be a...
I was recently hired at a software shop. This is my first programming related job and I was wondering what things I need to do to get into the groove of the new job as quickly as possible. What tips do you have for a smooth transition into a working environment. ...
I am looking for a way to slide a UIPickerView (and UIDatePickerView) up over a view (UITableView in particular) when a particular button press takes place. I understand how to get the events for clicks into the UITableView, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to have the UIPickerView slide up on top of it... All the examples I hav...
Every now and then I get an error when I set up states in an MXML file. The error I get says that mx:states could not be resolved to a component implementation. I read, at the following url, that this issue is caused by extending components - that somehow throws off the compiler's ability to resolve mx:states. I don't see why this sho...
I'm a business guy teaching myself some programming for two reasons: 1) I'm the only non-coder at a small software company; the only person who can't get under the hood in some useful fashion. I'd like to feel more empowered to help and I want to be better able to explain and debate our technical decisions. 2) I'm getting hooked on p...
I'd like a transition effect between 2 or more images. I know that simple transitions can be easily done in JQuery, especially with the Cycle plugin, but I want something more complex. Like this, although it's a poor example. A 'blinds' style effect where you can see one image through the other as it changes. I hope I'm clear. I really...
I have a Cocoa app I'm writing that has an ImageView with a TextView as a subview sitting on top of the ImageView. I have two functions, one that updates the image in the ImageView and one that updates the text in the TextView. Both of those functions work properly, but I would like the new text to fade in or cross fade from the old te...
I'm looking for the fastest way of counting the number of bit transitions in an unsigned int. If the int contains: 0b00000000000000000000000000001010 The number of transitions are: 4 If the int contains: 0b00000000000000000000000000001001 The number of transitions are: 3 Language is C ...
I've got quite a bit of PHP code laying around and am wondering at what point should I start upgrading the scripts to support IPV6. I know IPV6 has been on the 'list of things to do' for a long, long time but really have never seen a clear transition path on when I need to start supporting it. G-Man ...
I'm a moderately experienced Java / C# programmer, and I've recently started learning C++. The problem is, I'm having trouble understanding how to structure the various header and code files. This seems mostly due to my lack of understanding as to how the compiler links everything together. I've tried reading some textbooks, but my preco...
Hello all, In my code I programmatically change leftBarButtonItem with a UIButton to a UIActivityIndicatorView, I would like to know how to perform a flip transition when changing, any idea ? Thanks a lot. ...
Hello, In my app I have a drill-down type interface as follows: My root view, which has a list of items and an "Add" button. Selecting an item pushes the "Detail" view on the navigationController. Selecting the "Add" button pushes an "Add" view. How would I transition between the Add view to the Detail view? I'm thinking of doing an u...
I'm well aware that there are only two available UIView transitions, UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft and UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight. I'm wondering if there is anyway that I can implement / emulate a UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromTop or UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromBottom. The only way I can think to do this is ...
I want to create transition animation within a UIView (not from one UIView to another). I have one UIView that has two UITextView fields with some text in them that comes from a database record. There are next/back buttons on the screen also. When the user pressed the next button, the next record contents are shows. When this transitio...
Being a pretty experienced PHP developer, and having a fair knowledge of C (Wrote a distributed computing experiment with 16 of my Dad's NEC microcontrollers), I'd like to make the move to Objective-C and Cocoa, eventually aiming to integrate the Mac / iPhone apps with some of my PHP projects. Going through the "Cocoa Programming For Ma...
Long story short, how can I disable the screen transitions between activities? We implemented our own tab handler if you will, and now it is doing a transition between tabs, which looks pretty tacky. Thanks! Chris. ...
In a .NET C# program, is it easy to transition from FTP to SFTP? I'm trying to get a sense of how muh time it would take the contractor to make the transition. My personal experience is mostly with PHP, so I have no idea. Basically, what I'm talking about, what steps would have to be made? Obviously, different commands, but would anythi...
Currently I am working with Java and its object oriented-design aspects (I also work with PHP/MySQL a lot). I don't implement it on the web; I just use it for designing programs for general purposes. However, now I need to learn C right now, and I have an interest in C++. I got The C Programming Language, which some people say is the bes...
I want to minimise my application, take a screenshot of the current desktop and return my application back to its original state. This has been working fine under windows XP, however under testing on different Vista machines the minimise time of 200 milliseconds is no longer valid. Is there a way to ask the operating system when it has...
