Even though I have a robust and fast computer (Pentium Dual Core 2.0 with 2Gb RAM), I'm always searching for lightweight software to have on it, so it runs fast even when many apps are up and running simultaneously. On the last few weeks I've been migrating gradually to Linux and want to install a free lightweight yet useful IDE to prog...
Consider the need to develop a lightweight desktop DB application on the Microsoft platforms. It could be done fairly easily with MS Access but I'd like to be able to distribute it to others and I don't want to pay for a runtime license. Requirements: easy distribution to others no runtime licensing issues Considerations and Cand...
Heyall... I want to build a lightweight linux configuration to use for development. The first idea is to use it inside a Virtual Machine under Windows, or old Laptops with 1Gb RAM top. Maybe even a distributable environment for developers. So the whole idea is to use a LAMP server, Java Application Server (Tomcat or Jetty) and X Window...
I know there are a ton of Python frameworks out there. Can you guys point me in the right direction? My primary concern is simplicity, I don't need a lot of extraneous features. Here are a couple of other things that I'd want (or don't want): don't care for ORM, just want it to work with MySQL has configurable routes has support for la...
I’ve been using a jQuery to do the whole ajax magic in my web based applications. But I came to a decision that I don’t need all these amazing features jQuery has, except its ajax functions (like $.ajax(), $.get(), $.post, getJSON() and load();). Can you recommend a lightweight crossbrowser ajax library/framework (upto ~10 kb)? Thanks ...

I want a small (< 30MB) standalone Windows executable (a single file) that creates a window which asks the user for the location of a directory and then launches a different program in that directory. This executable has to run on XP, Vista, Server 2003, and Server 2008 versions of Windows in 32-bits and 64 bits on x86-64 architecture...
There are plenty of "heavyweight" tools such as XmlSpy, which are good for prodding around in xml docs - but often (very often in some cases!) you just want to quickly open and browse an xml doc, and have it pretty printed. Possibly with some basic search functionality (textual is probably fine). I usually use a browser such as IE of Fi...
There is a simple http server API that allow you do some simple stuff quickly, without any addition dependency/installation required. Are there any similar API/library in .NET WITHOUT IIS? For example, I am a small window service running, I'd like to add a simple stupid web interface to allow local/remote control/monitoring. ...

Hello SQLite is fine as a single-access database, but it gets risky when used by more than one user at a time. MySQL, Firebird, PostgreSQL etc. are more difficult to deploy and are simply overkill for my use. Ideally, I'd like a compact, single-EXE server meant to run on low-spec hardware (eg. 128MB RAM, 256MB flash RAM) that would be ...
I've just released a PHP framework called EuropaPHP (http://europaphp.org/). I was wondering if I could get some feedback from of you guys whatever it may be. Let me know what you like about it, what you don't like about it; whatever. It's based on similar coding conventions to that of the Zend Framework and as a result, the Zend Framew...
I've bought a Compaq Mini 733 (1.6G Hz Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 4200 RPM HDD, XP Home) primarily for my girlfriend but also for me to use while on holiday, traveling about, etc. The rigorous of my job necessitates being able to write patches, small enhancements and system maintenance via ssh even when on holiday. (Not a bad thing--I work a f...
I have an ASP.NET website with several standard pages like an About page, FAQ pages, Contact Info pages, etc. I would like to make the content on those pages easily editable by a few users through a backend web interface. The editor does not need to be fancy, or WYSIWYG, in fact I would prefer it use some sort of wiki markup, as long as ...

The challenge here is that I need to implement a highly concurrent and dynamic system that is based on SOAP communication - in Java. It can be viewed as a multi-agent system where an agent is a software process (like a daemon) that responds to SOAP requests. At runtime my system may comprise more than a thousand of such agents - each of ...
