I don't know why this is question is bugging me, but time after time I come back to the though - why not make websites in C++? So far I know of none (except a rumor about Yahoo). Most use PHP, Java or ASP.NET. Some are built on Ruby or Python, but even those are minorities. At the same time, looking at StackOverflow, it seems that C++ i...
Here's what I'm seeing: I have a conditional-get caching policy in place (cache-control: private, must-revalidate). It works fine if I'm on the page, then try to hit the browser's refresh button. However, in another part of my site, I use location.replace(url) to go to that page... if I do that, its not makign that check and always ret...
I have a webapp with different Dynamic Web Projects, each of them generally containing an EJB Project. We want to keep them interacting, as in using beans and classes from each other's EJBs through JNDI, sharing the same database or using their own. But we also want to be able to keep different projects on different servers. What would ...
I recently upgraded a 1.1 web project to a 2.0 web application. After going through the upgrade wizard and performing the "upgrade to web application" operation, everything looked fine. After closing and reopening Visual Studio, however, it insisted on treating the project as a web site, not a web application, and the "upgrade to web a...
I would love to design a web application for a guitar tablature editor. There are a few desktop apps such as Guitar Pro and Tuxguitar that are great. They basically allow you to load a tablature file, and then the software allows you to edit and play the tablature. What would be even better would be a web-based version of these programs....

There are some event which call a javascript function and the function have some action with callback. something like this, <input type="button" onclick="changeSomething"/> function changeSomething() { /// some call back, which changes something } now anybody who knows this c...
I am looking for java examples or library that will help me integrate this into a Struts2/Spring application. Many build systems such as Luntbuild or Hudson have this functionality, I thought I would ask if any one knows of a standalone example before I attempted to dig it out of one of those. I glanced at Quartz job scheduling framewo...
I am working on a javascript app that users load via a configurable script tag. I have it hosted on its own Google Code project since its open source. Is it ok to have the url that loads the app pointed at the file download link on its Code site? For example: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://myprojectname.googlecode.com/files/...
What are the apps that you consider part of your core toolset for Django projects (including those shipped with Django)? For example, I just discovered Migratory for database migration management: I just love it, and I wish something like that would be included in Django. I took a look at DjangoPlugables.com and other such web sites, b...
I have been trying to get my head around to understanding performance and scalability and would like to know what developers/sysadmins are doing to juice their systems. To standardize the answers, it would help if you could take your best shot at responding to any of the following: Profile - Magazine publication on Joomla; Jobs board o...
I want to create a simple program similar to http://www.basecamphq.com/ that allows you to track progression and completion on projects that will work across a computer network or by the web (really which ever is the easiest to accomplish) The program would be relatively simple but need to have a database that could be edited using a si...
If only email is available then the users don't seem to engage. A feedback box within the app feels like a step in the right direction, but doesn't offer any ability to build community. Uservoice and tenderapp both look like they could work well, and GetSatisfaction seems like a better option once your app is in past the beta stage. S...
What various methods and technologies have you used to successfully address scalability and performance concerns of a website? I am an ASP.NET web developer exploring .NET remoting with WCF with SQL clustering and am curious as to what other approaches exist (such as the ‘cloud’). In which cases would you apply various approaches (for ...
How do you generate paper-prints from a web application? Specifically I am thinking about more complex paper documents like diplomas, invoices and contracts. Variable number of pages with frames, tables, logos and headers/footers. Today I use custom forms and CSS for certain things and iTextSharp for others (I work with asp.net and MS-...
I've been thinking about integrating a wiki into my web-application. Currently I'm testing MediaWiki API (web-services interface), but my intended usage will most likely conflict with the GPL license. Some parts of my web-application is closed source. Does anyone have good experiences or recommendations for a Wiki (with BSD-license or s...
I just saw a article on swing being used in JavaFX. How can an application that uses a jFrame to display graphics be ported into JavaFX? Also, will the jButtons and jSliders work in the normal manner? I know this is a generic question but I know little of JavaFX and am curious about porting some desktop applications to the web via th...
Can you recommend a Java Web App Hosting company for small/low traffic projects? Somethign that will give me the ability to deploy a number of webapps into a J2EE webapp server (e.g. Tomcat) fronted with a web server (e.g. Apache) and backed by and a database (e.g. MySQL) Please note that while these applications will be non-commercial,...
We have a web application which contains a bunch of content that the system operator can change (e.g. news and events). Occasionally we publish new versions of the software. The software is being tagged and stored in subversion. However, I'm a bit torn on how to best version control the content that may be changed independently. What...
I have a number of generated html tables that I need to output as an Excel file. The site is codded in classic ASP. Is this possible? Could it be done by somehow using the Open Office libraries? EDIT: Thus far, I have tried some of the suggestions, but it seems to fail. Ideally, I want the user to be able to click a link that will beg...
Is there any way to generate PDF files from classic ASP? I have a bunch of user-entered data that needs to be turned into a PDF that the user can download. How can I do this? OpenOffice allows exporting documents to PDF, so could this somehow be leveraged? ...
