We are about to start to develop relatively small db desktop apps, running on a browser (analogous to a cashier system). We think the app could be distributed with a standalone webserver (XAMPP) + PHP + sqlite. Source code can be encrypted via ionCube. We already have web-apps and we wish to port them to be used locally, almost with t...
I want to create a web app that would scan your mp3 library to get the ID3 tags. Ideally, I would like to avoid any installation/downloading procedures. However, I understand that based on what I am trying to accomplish, there are obvious security limitations. Are there are any workarounds? What would be the best approach to accomplish t...
Hello, I am starting my first software engineering job in a week and wanted to sharpen my skills up. I'm looking for someone to suggest a good week long, web application project that can help me sharpen up my C#, Javascipt, and JQuery. Thanks! Brandon Edit: As noted below this is a pretty broad question. Let me give a little more...
I need to read data from barcode scanner in a web page. I agree that a usb scanner or a scanner equipped with keyboard wedge driver could get the data to a text field in the web page. I'm curious to know how do we read the data from RS-232 based scanner and bluetooth scanner. Will they also get the data to a textfield in a web page witho...
Hi, I'd like to know if there are any suggestions for a Java web development framework that does not add startup overhead. The reason for asking is that I'm planning to deploy on Google App Engine and I do not want to increase the cold start time for the server. So any framework with minimum configuration overhead, or possibly deferred...
I am running Ubuntu on my workstation, and headless Ubuntu Server in VirtualBox on this same workstation. I'd like to write a web app and deploy it on Ubuntu Server in the VM, then load it in a web browser on my workstation. Is this possible, and if so how? Thanks! ...
Hi all, I'm doing some i18n on a web-based app using Django, which uses gettext as its i18n foundation. It seems like an obvious idea that translations should be stored in the database, and not difficult to do, but po files on the filesystem are still being used. Why is this? My current suspicion is that the benefits of developing a d...
I'm thinking about building an application with a RESTful web service. My thought is to build the RESTful (json, etc) part of the application as a standalone, and then the frontend (e.g. html/css/js/etc) as a client to that service, although not through js, I'd like the web page to work without js, so probably using something like LWP to...
I have a GWT app. Am deploying it in tomcat. Within the servlet i want to write some code to create a temporary file. Right now am using file = new File("./../webapps"+this.getThreadLocalRequest().getContextPath()+"/svg/temp/"+svgName); But this might not hold true for all web servers due to the 'webapps' hardcoding thing. Please help ...
Something is wrong and it is very frustrating. I read on velocity's homepage that when I run a wepapp then some properties should be set. And I've done that but no matter what I do I keep getting the same error. This is where I set the props and use velocity public class ConfirmationMailGenerator implements MailGenerator { private...

I'm about to begin a Software Engineering course and am in the process of gathering the reading lists for each class, however one class, "Internet Programming", doesn't specify a reading list on the grounds that it would be out of date before it was even published, and so I was wondering if anyone knew any good modern books on the subjec...
I've talked to a lot of people recently who say they are expecting to stop writing native mobile apps and start writing web apps once HTML5 gets more fully baked in mobile OSs. I just finished my first HTML5 deep dive, and I'm not yet convinced. Will HTML5 work as a replacement development platform for native apps, or are there certai...
I'd like to create a website creation tool that allows the user to publish their website on the web. I don't want to do the hosting side of it, so I'm looking for a web host that offers an API so that my app can programmatically create user accounts, upload files, etc. Note that FTP isn't enough because I want the user to be able to do ...
For instance, could a web app access the mic on an iPhone and transmit voice back to a server? Or is it possible to build Safari extensions for the iPhone that can operate transparently on a web page? For instance, is it possible to build an extension that removed ads from Google result pages for the iPhone, without the user clicking a...
Or is it possible in Flash? ...
Are there any web applications for browsing source code repositories that use popular version control systems? I know that many open-source code sites have a web application for browsing code on that site, but are there any that let you view repositories hosted on any site? Sometimes, a web application is just so much more convenient th...
