Hi, I'm developing a website and I'd like the users be able to upload files to the server using a webpage. The server side is .NET, but it's not ASP.NET. That means, I'm generating the html code myself instead using ASP.NET, and I'm working with the GET string and POST stream directly. It's a good exercise to learn what happens under ...

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each class, however one class, "Internet Programming", doesn't specify a reading list on the grounds that it would be out of date before it was even published, and so I was wondering if anyone knew any good modern books on the subjec...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 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 ...
I only know the basics of HTML/CSS. The only experience with web development I have is whatever I learned in Web Development 101 at my university, aka "OMG - CSS u guise, 101". I'm mainly interested in building simple dynamic sites. That's the whole reason I got into this in the first place. I'm at the point now where I realize that it...
I have a main page that users visit via https. From that page, they can do a google search. However, the search results is displayed via http and I no longer have control over the search page. Is there a way to 'trap' the results and send it over a custom https page so the users results can be private? Update: I guess the real question ...

Is it possible to do this using the LinkedIn API, or some other tool, without requiring viewers to log-in on the page?

So, I know that the general idea in PHP is that the whole application is loaded and executed every time the page loads. But for optimization of a sizable object-oriented PHP app that needs to be portable…is it possible to load an object into memory that can be used for every request, not recreated for each one? I've seen people using th...

Hi, If I understand correctly, a broswer caches images, JS files, etc. based on the file name. So there's a danger that if one such file is updated (on the server), the browser will use the cached copy instead. A workaround for this problem is to rename all files (as part of the build), such that the file name includes an MD5 hash of i...
I'd like to develop an .NET application, where you navigate in a website and the app records the GET and POST data you send to the server, so later on you can reproduce it programatically.
