Ruby RhoMobile application development - ruby

I am currently working with JAVA/J2EE domain, my project manager asked me to work for an mobile application development with Ruby RhoMobile, but I don't have idea about these frameworks other than just go through wiki links.
My question is about the learning curve for this framework with java background and some basic knowledge of CSS, Jquery,Javascript. Is there any best online training for Ruby RhoMobile.

Your best option is to contact Tau-Technologies, the primary maintainer of the RhoMobile framework.
They provide the official open source distribution and offer an enterprise grade paid support. For sure they can provide paid training as well as consultancy and customization on the framework.

Where can I download TradingView's technical charting library?

I am trying to create a new web project and want to use Technical Analysis Charts library, but when I want to download it, it asks for giving a public website domain that I don't have! It's an educational project and I don't have a company or created web site for it.
Is there anywhere that I can download the library?
It says, it's for a public project in its FAQ.
Can I get charting library for personal use?
At this time, we do not provide Technical Analysis Charts for personal use, hobbies, studies, or testing. The FREE Technical Analysis Charts license can be provided only to companies and/or individuals for use in public web projects and/or applications.

Best practices for multiplatform form based gui apps with haxe

I am currently exploring how to write platformindependant software that have forms with inputfieleds (fat client in java or dotnet as well
as web apps in asp.net or java jsf).
I stumbled over
last updated 2009: is-haxe-worth-learning
I read among others some haxe tutorial and the the wikopedia article about haxe
and it looks quite promising.
Are there any best practises how to seperate haxe-businesslogic from platformdependent-gui-logic?
or is there even a haxe-gui-abstraction layer?
There is one library that is currently developed for cross-platform NME use. You can check it out on GitHub.
It's still in development phase and has a few to-dos : It can use some help.
If you're interested in doing one-source-cross-platform things, you can also look at the conditional compilation and at the "cross" tagged haxelibs.
There is also a few MVC framework in Haxe, like MMVC, which is a port of AS3 Robotlegs.
Good luck, and share what you're doing to the community =)

iTunes integration advice

I'd like to get some feedback and references to any useful resources related to iTunes integration on Windows platform from fellow developers experienced in that area. COM SDK vs. JavaScript API? What are the advantages and limitations? Any useful blogs or discussion groups? Any recommended outsourced vendors experienced in this type of work? What would be involved in developing an application with features similar to simplifymedia.com?
Any information on the topic is appreciated!
I built a WebForms app in ASP.NET on my workstation using the COM SDK. It was extremely easy and I would recommend using the COM SDK for compiled code or VBScripting.
I would use a JavaScript API if you're doing a simple web app or sidebar gadget or something like that.
The APIs are defined for different domains.
And from my experience with the COM SDK, using it was extremely simple and easy, but I was just doing something simple.

Application development with Rational ClearQuest

Has anyone had experience with developing web apps using ClearQuest? Looking at the features, it mentions process automation but I'm not sure how large of a process/application it can support. Our group gave up a small section of a larger application to another group that used ClearQuest to web-enabled the process but now the ClearQuest tools are being pushed on us to web-enable the entire application. I have a ASP.NET background but ClearQuest is very wizard like and the only code that I've seen is called "BASIC" and it looks a lot like VBScript.
Clearcase/Clearquest has decent integration with Rational Applicaiton Developer. I am not sure if you arsking about its strenghts or actually exposing ClearQuest to the web. You can do the obligatory and lame activity of writing CGI/PERL scripts to expose some of the features to the web. You can use perl or VBScript to write CC/CQ hooks. It has its own perl build included in the product called ratperl. It has fantastic command line support but it comes at a price of complexity. CC/CQ is very powerful provided you think about the implementation in your organization very carefully. It can support very powerful work flows and is highly customizable.
There are several APIs which allow you to do what you want, write a WebApp.
CQWeb itself is built using the CM API, which allows a Java application (web or non-web) to be build. A tutorial is here:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSH5A_9.0.0/com.ibm.rational.team_api_cq_tut.doc/topics/teamapi_cq_abstract.htm
You could implement a basic web application using perl-CGI, since CQ has a Perl API.
You can write an ASP/C# web application because ClearQuest has a OLE (Visual Basic) API. The original ClearQuest Web application was built using the Visual Basic API
So the answer is yes, it is possible.
Wouldn't it be nice it supported a JavaScript API? Then we could write nodeJS CQ applications.
Sure it's possible, for a VS style integration I would either wrap the cqole.dll or use the OSLC connectors to get access to the RESTful interface. While the cqole is the C++ API and it is not officially supported this will suite you better than trying to implement this with the VBScript API. If you are more comfortable with just using the web services I would check out jazz.net where the wiki explains the bridge in gory details.
You dont exactly develop webapp with ClearQuest, CQ is only a process automation tool that build on logic and state transitions, and the interactions are scripted in either VBScript or Perl.
However do note that it has always been a pain to manage CQ codes as the "Designer" itself is a completely broken tool. It supports version tracking but doesnt tell u the difference between versions. The built-in code editor doesnt have syntax highligting, and it doesnt support parallel development. I can go on and on.
In the later versions, (version 7 onwards I supposed), CQ comes with eclipse based client AND designer tools, which supposedly enhance the whole experience. But I dont have too much experience with it to comment.
As for the web component, it runs on the websphere layer and simply is a application/presentation layer for users to access CQ through a HTTP protocol. It has 90% of the features of a full CQ client, and is usually easier to maintain and deploy to a wide user group.

COTS Workshop Registration System

Does anyone have any experience with any COTS systems for managing workshops and the associated registrations, courses, communications, etc.?
We have a home-built Perl system that is about 8 years old and is currently embedded as an iframe in a SharePoint portal site (externally facing). Needless to say, it isn't integrated into our site well, looks like crap, needs an overhaul, lacks features, etc. It would be nice to find either a product we can install or a service that provides those features.
Thanks!
You might also look into Moodle - it's a platform developed to supplement classroom teaching (or implement online learning courses) but should have all the major features you listed, and would support your needs reasonably well, as well as enhancing your event with an online component such as slide/presentation distribution only to registered users or users that took a particular class, etc)
