I want to do some coding in my spare time, but the thing is, I don't want to spend the money on this. Would the following set of development tools be The Right Thing, or is there something I'm forgetting? Eclipse for C++ SVN for source control Qt for UI development (since it's C++, and I believe it's now opened by Nokia) hudson for co...
Hey guys, a couple of us are looking for a collaborative name to work under when developing OpenSource products. The first of which will be an MVC CMS which is designed to be as usable as possible (no admin system all editing done inline). So can you help us name the two: OpenSource Organisation - mainly dealing with .net and mvc solu...
I am working in a small team on some projects in my spare time. We are having the problem that we seem to go in circles and are not able to get our products developed - however this is not a problem during my day job. The lack of face-to-face communication seems to have a real impact on productivity. Any examples of software or methodol...
I posted an open source project to Google Code a while back under the MIT License. Recently someone told me they saw a project on GitHub that looked "remarkably similar" to mine. So I go on there to check it out and it looks like they took all of my code and replaced the author name everywhere and posted it as their own. Although I'm hap...

Release only my app and write a short tutorial on how to install ZF to woek with my app 3. Should I give both options (which is more work, and an open source don't...

Any Joe Blow can write a handy application and release it as open source but what's the point unless other users (to make the project worth while) and programmers (to improve the project) can find it. Uploading an application's source to Source Forge might be a start but as of now there are 171,886 projects listed... who on earth is goi...
I would like to make a free open-source C++ application for both Linux and Windows which will create live stock market charts (i.e. they're refreshed frequently). Please could you give me some pointers on these issues: What should I use as the data source? Are there free services I can implement? I would like to use the same or simila...

Hello, I am writing in request of some suggestions for some well-designed open source Java projects which contain good design documentation - especially how the design evolved as more people looked into it (and raised flaws?) in the proposed design). I remember reading Joel Spolsky comment about most of the value in a software product ...

What are the best options for verifying OFAC compliance using an open source project? Would prefer java, but as long as it is a black box solution that can easily be called from other languages, that isn't a show stopper. Seems silly to reinvent the wheel, but I was surprised that a search on google for the above didn't turn up anythin...
I am looking at the Zend Server (PE and CE) and am woundering if its just a frontend for php.ini and automatically has Zend Optimizer which basically is APC(right?) in it or if it would actually be interesting for our development machine. Basically does Zend Server have any special sauce I can't get from opensource caching software and w...
Not as in "hot or not" type sites, but consumer/community sites like "rate my college professor" or "rate my plumber" etc., sites where people can comment and rank things. I was just wondering if there's some kind of PHP/MySQL package which has some basics already done. It's hard to know what to search for. Oh and by the way, yes, I k...

I am looking for a well-engineered, well-built python application that could serve as a guideline to demonstrate best practices relating to software development in general, and more specifically in python.

Hello, I'm starting to code a Rails application to allow users to create and edit forms that other users could then fill in, the data could then be analyzed and re-used. I've already asked other questions on structure etc. Now, believing that the best code is the code you don't have to write, I was looking for similar, open source, pr...
