will Java help me understand Processing? - processing

It seems to me that most books are based on Java 6. I know next to nothing about Java.
I'm just trying to get Csoundo to work on Processing. Csoundo is a library for Processing so that you can use Csound technology inside of Processing and create your own graphic instruments.
I'm part of the Csound mailing list, username: Cacophony7

Yes, it will help, but you might not not need to learn that much. You should take a look at how to build Processing libraries...

There are templates and more...

Wanting to make an Xposed module

So I'm wanting to make an xposed module but cannot find any good video tutorials out there let alone an updated one also I know C# Decently and hardly any Java... Any help to help me get started would be appreciated. Thanks
You will need Java to create any Xposed modules. Android itself is based on (primarily) Java, so you will need Java knowledge to make Xposed modules.
That said, C# and Java are extremely similar languages, and you can quickly pick up the other if you know one.
As for Tutorials, Rovo89 (the creator of Xposed) has a simple tutorial here at https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/wiki/Development-tutorial. This tutorial is almost completely upto-date, and you can use this to create your first module.
You will find another detailed tutorial here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709324. Keep in mind that this link is very old, so wherever there are any conflicts, go by Rovo89's tutorial.
After going through the beginner tutorial mentioned by Akhil, you will want to look at the API docs http://api.xposed.info/reference/packages.html and read through source code of some huge modules like GravityBox to get an idea of how the Framework is used. For teaching purpose mod some app which is open source and then move on to closed source app by reverse engineering them. For reverse engineering I use ByteCodeViewer.

Implementing Lucas Rocha's smoothie

I am trying to implement the excellent library provided by Lucas Rocha. This library allows for very efficient scrolling on ListViews.
https://github.com/lucasr/smoothie
His text states 1.Add Smoothie's jar as a dependency to your project. but I am not able to find any jar file in the package.
I have emailed him but his response simply refers to the narrative within his modules. There is no user friendly guide on how to go about implementing this.
It is clearly directed at experienced programmers but it would be useful if all the "not so experienced" programmers are able to progress with this.
So my question:
Can anyone provide clear step by step guidance on how to implement the smoothie libray.
Thanks in advance
The JAR needs to be compiled from source as a compiled version is not available for direct download. You can see my sample application to see Smoothie in action. The sample application also contains a JAR file compiled from the latest Smoothie source code.
At a bare minimum, you need to write two classes, one extending android.support.v4.widget.CursorAdapter and another extending org.lucasr.smoothie.ItemLoader. The sample application mentioned above contains ContactAdapter and ContactLoader classes that extend these aforementioned ones.
The order in which these classes are coded does not really matter, but I found it easier to implement ContactAdapter and therefore coded it first.

import .step file with three.js

I would like to import a file ".step" to use it with Three.js but I don't know how to do it
I didn't found any topic, only "first step, second step "
Any one could help me please ?
Take a look at the example at http://www.pythonocc.org/news/experimental-webgl-renderer-towards-cad-in-a-browser/ to go from step file to viewing using three.js.
node-occ is not a viable option as it is missing OCE-0.13. You have to download OCE-0.14 and build it really not a good option. OpenCascade is good but requires you build an .NET Library in C++ this is not well documented as they want to try and sell you theirs. I have not tried PythonOCC as it is python and can be a bit hard to set up using .NET I am looking for more resources but have not found any your best bet is to build your own using the STEP reading technology.

Using GWT to build a sortable table/grid without EXT/GXT/Smart GWT/etc

For some background, I'm currently an intern who has been asked to use GWT to create some kind of table/grid that can be sorted by column. Ideally my boss (who told me to ask for help about this here on Stack Overflow) also wants to be able to have multiple pages of data as well, but I'm concentrating on the sorting part right now.
Before jumping to suggest the various EXT and GXT things, unfortunately 1) what this will be used for will eventually be a part of their product, and therefore, used commercially and 2) this is for a not-for-profit company, so they don't really want to pay for a license. I have been searching for what feels like weeks in vain for something that I can both use and understand.
I am using Eclipse (indigo) to create GWT web apps, but I am still quite a newbie at anything related to GWT and I'm sure that most of my problem is that I don't really understand how to get and use the code that is presented as an example in tutorials. I have read through all the GWT documentation I can find and many tutorials and showcases, but I still don't really understand how to do things... which is unfortunate and frustrating. I have also tried using the GWT Designer in Eclipse and while neat, I can't use the CellTable stuff (which of course is exactly what my boss wants) - I assume because I don't have the license for it? Right now, I don't need to be getting data from a server (literally, if I could just put all my people-data in an ArrayList and populate columns from there, I would be very happy).
Can anyone help me out with this? Sorry it's kind of a two-fold question (one that I'm such a newbie about GWT, two that I am not having any luck figuring out how to make a sortable table/grid) but I would really appreciate any help.
CellTable is one of the more complicated concepts in GWT. You are looking in the right place, the documentation is here: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/2.4/DevGuideUiCellTable.
This should have everything you need including all the code with an EntryPoint class. I think it is just a case of getting this code running on your machine and working through it line by line understanding what it is doing.

Codeigniter template library build or download?

i am pretty new to CI. been looking at few template libraries but found either they have much more than I need or not enough.
so i started to build my own. is there anything i should keep in mind? in terms of security? caching? etc etc
thank you
A template library is pretty simple to create and unless you have a need for all the stuff that one of the many available have I would just roll your own. With that said I tend to use the one by Phil the most as it matches the closest with the way I do things.
