In the early-mid 90's, I worked a lot with a development tool called "Forest & Trees." (it was a wierd name back then, too!) It was aimed at developers building "Executive Information" / "Business Intelligence" systems. It was really cool software because you could develop an application very quickly on top of an existing database. Is...
What do you consider the most rapid RAD environment for a working prototype? Not for debate. language platform IDE DB (personal note) Thank you. P.S.1 I was pretty happy with PERL for back-end prototyping... I get stuck when dealing with the UI... it doesn't seem to come as easy... ...
Hi I was wondering how i can force a user who has requested a page using Http to use the secure https version? I am using Websphere 6.1 as my application server and Rad 7 as my development environment Thanks Damien ...
Because now I use IBM Rational Application Development (RAD) it very slow in my mind (my notebook -- RAM 2 GB, CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz and Windows XP sp2). Otherwise, I have many problem such as many time my workspace was crash, sometime error while generate client test and etc. So, I wish to know what IDE that you favorite use...
I am referring to a truly visual environment, and not something that claims to be visual but requires mountains of hand-coded script, or a code generator that farts out a Web site and leaves you to start editing in Visual Studio. Are there any truly visual Web dev platforms out there? ...
I am a c++ developer trying to create a web application using a language or framework that meets the following criteria: Very fast development time Text searching and other text manipulation Easy to configure and maintain the application Tagging system support Free (as in Beer) IDE 3-4 weekend project Can anyone suggest a language or...
I need to do some quick-and-dirty Perl GUI building. I can't afford a Komodo License. What would people recommend as a free (as in beer) alternative. I don't care if it is UNIX or Windows or both. I would be using either Win32 Perl or Perl/Tk depending on what has the best solution. I would also look at any PM's that use something else. ...
I am getting a lot of errors when starting RAD7. The server doesn't respond to class changes. Sometimes the server won't start. Sometimes RAD will not acknowledge modules that I added to the server. It is kind of buggy. I know there is metadata in the workspace, are there safe ways to clean the metadata or RAD in general? Where RAD...
What platforms and tools should I use for rapid game development and prototyping? Say that I have an idea for a simple game or a game mechanic that I want to try out, what are the best tools for quickly creating something playable that I can experiment with to try out the idea? The platform does not necessarily have to be easy to learn...
I tend to do a lot of projects on short deadlines and with lots of code that will never be used again, so there's always pressure/temptation to cut corners. One rule I always stick to is encapsulation/loose coupling, so I have lots of small classes rather than one giant God class. But what else should I never compromise on? Update - t...
I want to develop Java apps, real quick, what IDE should I choose? ...
Hi guys, I have a little trouble with RAD Studio 2009. As you know, it is possible to switch Unicode support off in MSVS (right click on solution->properties->character set=not set). I need to find this feature in RAD Studio, I know it exists but do not know where exactly. It`s the only thing that stops my work on a Socket Chat universit...
I'm spending these holidays learning to write Qt applications. I was reading about Qt Designer just a few hours ago, which made me wonder : what do people writing real world applications in Qt use to design their GUIs? In fact, how do people design GUIs in general? I, for one, found that writing the code by hand was conceptually simpler...
Huron was a 4GL that originated in the IBM 360 mainframe world in the early 1990s, created and sold by the Amdahl Corporation. It had a proprietary interpreted language and database that people either loved or loathed, and its most notable features were its unusual Rules Language syntax, and its tight integration with its query language...
Can anyone recommend a GUI builder tool for creating DHTML web apps using AJAX to communicate with a web service backend? I'd like to avoid having to mess around with designing HTML, marshalling/unmarshalling data, checking for browser compatibility, etc. The tool should have a library of widgets that can be put into an application and h...
I've built web sites using classic ASP, ASP.NET web forms and lately ASP.NET with ExtJS. However, I've always felt that I've had to do a lot of the heavy lifting and that there was no real RAD until the application was fairly mature. I've only briefly looked at RoR and Django, but they look like a step in the right direction. Does anyo...
I have a Linux web server and I'd like to make some database tables (currently in Access) available on the web for CRUD. There needs to role-based security. What's the quickest path to develop this? Also, which database would be best? I already have mySQL running on that box if it makes any difference. ...
Since the configuration manager and update manager for eclipse 3.2 is devoid of nice options for REMOVING or DELETING all my plugins it can be cumbersome to deal with needing to get your plugins in order. Just getting your dependencies worked out can be a nightmare when you have installed one version too high than you needed depending on...
I'm looking to create a very small cataloguing app for personal use (although I'd open source it if I thought anyone else would use it). I don't want a web app as it seems like overkill to have an application server just for this - plus I like the idea of it being standalone and sticking it on a USB stick. My Criterea: Interface must ...
I have a websphere 6.1 configuration and the application is running, but some requests go to j_security_check but the last one (there are filters associated with J_security_check) will generate a 404 error. For example: (1) User posts to: http://localhost:9081/Page/j_security_check And it works on Filter1, but later requests to Filter...
