Hi there, I'm learning OO principles and for practice I'm developing an application in Java. The application is to parse the hand history text files issued by poker sites after every poker hand is played and to extract the same types of data from the file no matter which site the hand history is from. The hand history files can be in...
I oftem run into this case of what is the correct way to store a list of objects as a property in a class and how to properly serialize them into XML. For instance, we have a TabGroup class which will contain zero or multiple Tabs. Is it better to a have a list of Tabs property or a list of references to Tabs? Provided that Tabs are id...
I've really taken a liking to the JBoss Seam application framework. Since the notion of injection/outjection and tight integration between JSF/EJBs/JPA is relatively scarce among Java application frameworks, I was looking for some good resources for design patterns and best practices for using this framework. I've poured over the examp...

I've been interested in Visual Programming Languages (VPL) for a while. However I've hardly seen any environments that can be used for practical projects such as Windows apps or web services.

Hi guys, I'm starting out with Ruby on Rails and I know of a few stuff already, but I was wondering if there was a "right" way of going about developing a project. Right now, I would create my models first using [script/generate model MyModel] then modifying them until I feel they are complete enough. Then I'd go for [script/generate sca...
I know how to create small data driven websites but want to get an idea on how to convert them to handle large data flow. The questions are based on a site that would act mostly like stack overflow, craigslist etc where people could post stuff and others reply and would have basic search capabilities based on tags. Are regular relatio...
I want to have buttons that are switching from one color to another. Eg. 1000 buttons where the first one is yellow and the last one is green and all the between will slowly move from yellow to green. So I guess I need some software/webpage to generate all the hex codes for colors (eg. #8a3a3a) between these two colors. Is this possib...

The existing codebase does not have a lot of unit testing, but I would like at least the portion I'm working on to have a full suite of unit tests with good code coverage. Because the existing codeb...
Hello! This is a general kind of question. Very often, I need to write JavaScript for web pages. Keeping in mind best practices, unobtrusive js, etc. I have my JavaScript in separate *.js files.

I have an icon that I would like to be able to drop into text at arbitrary points and have it "flow" with the text. Background: An <img> tag works best for this. However, I don't want to have to specify the href everywhere. That will present problems in the future should the icon/location change. It also depends on me knowing the path ...
Our core domain so far has an abstraction called PersonName with methods for firstName, lastName, middleInitial etc. As we are expanding the domain to Spain, we figured that they only talk in terms of name, firstSurname and secondSurname i.e. middleInitial etc have no significance to them.

Question is, if you have programmatically generated tabs -let's say by using repeater control- at the top of your masterpage, how do you handle them after you have too many -so that they do not overlap the view-port of the browser? I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there are already ...
