I've been using EasyEclispe for a long time, and I've noticed that they haven't really kept up-to-date with the main Eclipse distro. So I was wondering if anybody knew of an EasyEclipse-like distribution that would contain common things people in different areas of Java/Groovy development might need. ...
Hi, I'm about to start working on a "Software as a Service" website project. This is the first project of this kind I am going to work on, so while I am trying to anticipate any possible risks, I'm sure there will be many more I will not take into account. Does anyone know of a suitable risk profile boilerplate for this kind of proje...

This might be a really trivial question, but I've been writing Java programs at my school. But I just found out that I can create websites with Java as well. How can I do that? Any good books/tutorials for that? Also, I know about PHP, which is better for Web development? Also, when using PHP, MySQL comes into picture and while writing J...
A while ago I created a drag-over check box list which allows you to check many check boxes in a single gesture. Do you think it is viable and usable on the web where people might not know how to use it. The default behaviour still works for the individual check boxes. A demo of it can be found here: http://jonathanparker.com.au/Demos/...

I don't want to use the publishing wizard since it requires having FrontPage extensions installed on the server. ...

I was talking to a person today who mentioned he used arrays when calling parameters or for other reasons when pulling data from the database etc. Basically my question is: how would you use arrays in web development? For example: If you had a url like this (a social dating site) http://www.example.com/page.php?sid=1&agefrom=30&a...
I have heard of remote dot net application. What I have understood that the application works on the client side, while it's on the server. This mean client can't access code and also need to connect to server to access application. I'm not sure of that, is that the purpose.

The reason I am asking is because I see these days everybody is building their front ends with PHP or ASP.NET.

I just rolled a small web application into production on a remote host. After it ran a while, I noticed that MS SQL Server started to consume most of the RAM on the server, starving out IIS and my application. I have tried changing the "server maximum memory" setting, but eventually the memory usage begins to creep above this setting. ...
On a wiki-style website, what can I do to prevent or mitigate write-write conflicts while still allowing the site to run quickly and keeping the site easy to use? The problem I foresee is this: User A begins editing a file User B begins editing the file User A finishes editing the file User B finishes editing the file, accidentally ov...
I have a table based layout, with one main two-column table, for left and right sides of a form. Each column contains an inner, two-column table, with a label and and input column, and each field on its own row. Could I use CSS to set the width of both the input columns? E.g. <table id="frameTable"> <tr> <td id="leftFieldList">...
I have written a standalone Java application that I've packaged into a jar file that takes in some command line arguments, does some hardcore computations, and then writes out the result to a file along with some output to the default output stream pointing to where the file with the results are. I now want to create a website around th...

Added: I'm quite keen not to have to reinvent the...
I'm starting a new web app project using Django and Pinax. I want to be able to give my users unique domain names like Wordpress and other sites do : username.wordpress.com. I'm not sure how to approach this with Django, since the url parsing logic (in urls.py) starts with the url AFTER the domain name. More specifically, there will be ...
From what I've seen, the salaries/contract rates for front-end developers aren't too bad, but certainly aren't glamorous. Is front-end development a practical career path? At the moment I'm working as a front-end web developer for a well-known company, so it's a good name to have on the resume, but I have a feeling I might be on the wr...
I just finished a Django app that I want to get some outside user feedback on. I'd like to launch one version and then fork a private version so I can incorporate feedback and add more features. I'm planning to do lots of small iterations of this process. I'm new to web development; how do websites typically do this? Is it simply a matte...
