My manager ask me for develop a ui selectinh hour intervals in days of week.
He wants to select hours with snipping mouse.
he gave me torrent schedule as example.. and I search many on the net but most of them quite same and smiliar I need a find plugin that looks like torrent schedule and gives same functionality..
Its not ensure what he wants but I will have to use this(cause it looks fine and a little bit smiliar) if I dont find better.. :(
I have found a plugin that answers whats I ask for.. http://fullcalendar.io/

I must admit, I am a complete newbie here. I am not technical by trade but have taught myself a few things over the years. I am looking for some assistance in figuring out how I could easily incorporate a ticker of some sort onto a website which would depict a value entered somewhere else. For example, a website for a business where I want to show a wait time number by having the staff enter that time somewhere and have the business site poll it. Is this possible (I am sure it is) and what is the easiest way to go about it? Major help needed here :-/
As I just started researching this I haven't made any attempts yet as I don't want to mess anything up.
I am not sure if StackOverflow is the right forum to ask this question. If I am wrong, please point me to the right forum.
I am still junior android developer, and I always wondered about one question.
Do software developers sometimes use internet to check for code syntax or to check for some code for some action, that they never used before, or didn't use for a long time, and simply need to remind themselves about that code?
We use it for anything.
Don't know how to do something at all?
Ask the internet.
Know how, but forget what the function name is?
Ask the internet.
Remember the name, but forget the order of parameters?
Sing it with me: Ask the internet!
There are no rules about when it's OK and when it's not. Use it when it helps.
It depends on the personalty of the developer, I for one had a time in my life when i was code happy and all I try to do then is solve my own problem myself thereby impressing my fellow developers and peers, in return I wasted time doing one simple thing for days and time is money.
But as it is now, money must be made and more money to be made means more jobs to be done for clients.
If I have a whole lot of issues on my mind e.g the flow process of the application, the limited time frame to deliver, another job from a pestering client (who paid higher than the current client), personal problems, etc. The least thing I want to do is to disturb my head about some code I know but cant remember. I look it up in no time.
Yes, I look up a lot of codes i don't remember and wish not to remember and no one cares because at the end of the day it is the developer that get his/her job done at the specified time that is a good developer.
You will find out that as you grow in your career if you work as a freelance programmer, except in limited cases, NO CLIENT will tell you write a sample code to do bla bla bla.
What they care about is the manner in which you solve the problem they have. Your problem solving logic is what makes you a better programmer every single day.
It doesn't mean you should forget all your code but don't stress over it if you don't remember look it up, it doesn't cause a volcanic eruption in central park...lolz.
BUT you must also remember that if you make it an habit to always look up your code, in no time you will have issues reading codes and that is a crime as a computer programmer.
My advise for you as a
junior android developer
is that you learn to disconnect from the internet most times when you write your codes it will strengthen your brain to remember your codes better. Because what i have found out over time is that there are two types of programmers,
offline
online
The offline programmer would survive even in the desert but the Online programmer can only survive in the city.
Lastly if you were a client and you called two programmers to add extra page to an android application. Then you looked at their various systems and one of the was editing his code while the other was on google or other site like stack overflow with page title
How to add extra page to android application?
Be sincere with yourself who will you rather work with next time?
Don't get it wrong there is no crime in asking but sometimes asking is the last thing you want to do because its more shameful that stealing.
Wish you luck in your career path...trust me with consistency you will exceed your peers because you have chosen the extra ordinary careea path.
Title says it all...
On microsoft word theres a "total editing time" counter that tells you how long you've been working on your word document. Is there a similar feature in Xcode 7.3 in which I can see how long I've been working on my project? I'd like the time in hours.
EDIT: Based on answers I'm seeing there's 3rd party software to track my activity, can any of these work retroactively? I.E. Can I retrieve my hours from the past
-Maybe perhaps I can calculate time based on some logged builds? Or error log messages or something that's deep in my workspace? Any Ideas on this?
NO. There is no way to check such counter in Xcode. However you can use RescueTime to detect accurate time on Xcode or any other software.
RescueTime helps you understand your daily habits so you can focus and be more productive.
You can also use xcode-wakatime or any other third party.
I personally use RescueTime. It is best, manages lots of more than Xcode.
Try xcode-wakatime. Honestly I have never used it so I cannot write personal feedbacks.
Yes, you actually can. But you need to integrate WakaTime plugin for Xcode.
Here is a setup documentation.
In my desktop program, I want to check that to see if the user has set his clock back.
To do so, I compare the timestamp of certain Operating System files to the current computer date. If any are after what the computer thinks is the current date, then he must have set his clock back.
For Windows XP, I have been using such files as:
c:\win386.swp
c:\windows\user.dat
and several others.
Two questions:
Is this a decent way to do this, or is there something better?
(Assuming the answer to 1 is "decent") What would be some good Windows Vista and Windows 7 files to compare with?
Conclusion: Priyank said something obvious that had eluded me: Rather than using any system files, the easiest and simplest way might be to just use the timestamp of your program itself. After all, the date it was installed is exactly the date you want your trial to start from.
As it turns out, your answers and my research of other related StackOverflow questions and mentioned articles has led me to decide on a much simpler scheme. My trial users already have to get a key to use the trial. I've got the date registered embedded into the key. I really don't have to check for setting the clock back. Instead I can just seee if the current time is between the date registered and the date registered plus n days.
If they want to go to the trouble of getting around that scheme, then let them. I agree that those people wouldn't pay anyway. Make your program something worthwhile that people enjoy and want to use and most will pay.
Windows files will be always have earlier date, the best is to check the creation or modified date of your program with the system date. Or any time your program quit make sure to note the timestamp and compare it with the next time you start your program, and there is always NTP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol
a better way to do that IMHO would be to store the current timestamp in registry the first time your program is ran and then compare that with the current timestamp on next run and update the timestamp if everything is OK.
This is not a direct answer, just to offer some opinion and references. Too long for me to add as comment.
If the purpose is to create a time-limited software for demo/trial use, we need to find a balance between how much you go about implementing it and the tendency for users to 'hack' pass it.
I've often tell people, if your software attracts hackers, it's probably something useful/good. No point protecting a software which no one finds useful.
Anyway, the philosophical talk aside, below are a couple good reads about this topic:
How to Implement time-limited trial on Joel's Forum
Time limited trial and Windows Certification on SO
Need Advice on Implementing a Time-limited Trial on SO
An option would be to get the date from a web service or time server. The problem here is that this only works if there is internet connection available, so this would be just a complementary method for a more safe one.
Windows provides APIs for notification of system time changes. One e.g. is the sysinfo.ocx activex control provided here.
What do the clever programmers here do to keep track of handy programming tricks and useful information they pick up over their many years of experience? Things like useful compiler arguments, IDE short-cuts, clever code snippets, etc.
I sometimes find myself frustrated when looking up something that I used to know a year or two ago. My IE favorites probably represent a good chunk of the Internet in the late 1990s, so clearly that isn't effective (at least for me). Or am I just getting old?
So.. what do you do?
Two Things I do:
I blog about it - this allows me to go back and search my own blog.
We use the code snippet feature in Visual Studio.
Cheers.
I use:
Google Notebook - I take notes for projects, books I'm reading, etc
Delicious + Firefox plug in - Every time I see a good page I mark it.
Windows Journal (in tablet pc) - When I need to draw something and then copy/cut/paste it. I have more distractions here, the web is always very close :)
Small Moleskine paper notebook - Its always with me.
Big paper notebook - When I need more space to write and less distractions.
Obviously these are for all useful information, not just for snippets or tips and tricks.
Why not set up a Wiki?
If you are on windows, i know that ScrewTurn wiki is pretty simple to deploy on a desktop/laptop. No database to fuss around with.
Blog about it.
One of the nice side-effects of blogging is that if you use a sensible categorization or tagging system, it's quite easy to search for stuff within your blog. The fact that you wrote about it also makes it easier to remember problems you have encountered before ("hey, I blogged about that!").
That's a great benefit aside from, of course, being able to share this information publicly so that others might be able to find your solution to a particular problem using Google.
A number of people I know swear by Google Notebook
I send them to my gmail account, that way I have them where ever I go, and they can be put into appropriate folders for later.
I second the blog about it technique...even Jeff said that's a major reason he blogs.
Also, regarding the wiki idea, if you set one up at work, be sure to encourage your coworkers to do the same. When someone finds something of interest they can just write a little "article" explaining what it is and how to do it... that way, not only are your own things easily available and quickly searchable, but you'll often find out things you never knew from other people in your group. That way it benefits everyone not just you.
I agree with emailing, the wiki and the blog. Emailing is the most useful. If you can't use GMail and you're on windows, install a desktop search utility (Windows search, Google Desktop, Copernic, etc)
I also like to jot it into a textfile and save it in my documents folder. Whatever desktop search utility you use will be able to find it easily. e.g.
//print spool stop.notes.txt
If the printer spooler stops, start it again by
- Services > Provision Networks > Restart Service
tags: printer provision no printer spooler cannot print remote desktop
Subscribe in Google Reader and then search later.
At my last place of work they wouldn't let me set up a wiki or anything - so I just made various word documents full of tips and instructions and gave that to my successor when I left.
Now though I'd use a private wiki, or maybe a blog.
For many years I've kept a Word doc named Knowledgebase.doc that contains all my notes with a decent table of contents. I like to keep everything in one searchable doc.
I use a sync tool to make sure the file is copied to all the machines I want it on.
I use TiddlyWiki stored in my DropBox account. Although, recently, Evernote is getting my atention; it has a really useful feature: you send a twitter direct message to evernote user (myen) and it adds a note with your message (a really quick way to add notes or URL's for post-processing). Imagine, you can use a command-line twitter client to create notes! (or any twitter client). I really like this feature.
