I have to build a library Windows Phone 7 app to list books by author, editor, period.
I've not clear if it's better to use Panorama or Pivot control: i've seen that both would be good so i don't really understand the best component to use.
Can anyone help me?
A panorama control is great for showing a summary or a few top items you want to display in your app in a visually pleasing manner, but isn't suitable for showing large quantities of data.
A pivot is good for switching between categories such those you mention (author, editor, period). However you will have to ensure that you don't end up trying to show so much information in your pivot pages at once that your performance starts to suffer.
Another control you probably want to look at for this kind of app is the LongListSelector from the Silverlight Toolkit (link here). This control is similar to the one used on the People Hub of the phone.

Ours is a java web application on struts2 framework. Currently for contact us form and download reports form we are using Recaptcha. We have to refresh the captcha at least 4-5 times to get the readable words. We are looking for some simple alternative to Recaptcha which prevents getting Spam requests.
Guys can you suggest me a replacement for Recaptcha.
Yes, another example of an alternate captcha is this: you can make a slide of images, and place one behind the slider. Then, let the human chose from the slider which image is behind the slider.
(I have seen it in a forum, but I don't remember the name of website where I have seen this type of captcha)
You can also make your forum like no one can copy paste anything there, means pasting is restricted there.
I found this! http://areyouahuman.com/
Just discovered it. Plan to use on my next project.
Images are far more easy to identify compared to garbled text. They are more difficult to break too. You could use image-identification CAPTCHAs such as these.

I am trying to develop a web based document browsing system, that could look possibly something like : http://www.cell.com/trends/biochemical-sciences (then click on "Protein kinases: evolution of dynamic regulatory proteins").
What web technologies should I look at using? AJAX?
Thanks in advance.
Andy
AJAX could do the trick, but you'll need more than that.
Getting document sections and pictures with AJAX is half (maybe less than half) the job, as you'll need all the backend code to upload documents, maybe extract document sections from PDF, store documents hierarchically, retrieve the document hierarchy and pictures, and so on.
Moreover, you don't even told us what server-side technology you are going to use... Java, PHP, DotNet... and the database... PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, end the list goes on.
About the AJAX side and web UI, I suggest you take a look at jQuery and jQuery UI.

I'm looking for an in browser click-n-drag type editor for editing directed labeled graphs.
All I need is a widget to support the editing and the ability to submit (AJAX, form, whatever) the resulting set of origin/label/terminus tuples. It's not what I need it for, but a GUI editor for simple GraphViz cases would be nearly ideal. This UML widget is kinds along the right track.
And I'm kind of restricted to open source, freeware and public domain.
Some other close, but not quite options:
arbor.js (view, not edit. And I don't need the auto layout.)
springy (ditto.)
You could try using Znode. A simple open source flow chart editor I created over the christmas break. It uses jQuery and Raphael. It doesn't really make use of html5 features because I wanted high browser compatability - I've tested in firefox, safari, chrome and ie6-8. It's still in development but it's stable.
Here is more info:

which library tool(round textured,textured button,etc) shall i use for
displaying boxes at right corner of uploaded image,also please give me the list of different tools shall i use for all those data(multilined text,clear logs,small images at left corner, etc) from uploaded image.
please reply
You mean the buttons? There's no exact match because Mac OS is not Windows. Use standard buttons with standard appearances.
FWIW, the list of available UI widgets is one of the easiest things to learn about Cocoa. Open Interface Builder and look through the Cocoa library palette. The Cocoa equivalent of everything in your image is there (with the exception of the hyperlinked labels - don't use these in Mac OS applications anyway as they're non-standard and quite unattractive).
Posting a complete list of all the controls and their various settings here is an unnecessary waste of effort when all it takes is for you to drag a button onto a window in Interface Builder and start playing with settings (or looking in the documentation at the various NSButton styles).

Yo, so I was curious about your thoughts about your preferences on soft keyboards for mobile devices. Are there any particularly innovative ones that you like?
By the way, my ulterior motive for asking this question was to look up one particular instance that I heard about, oh 10-ish months ago. Basically, you type with your finger constantly on the keyboard. Based on your direction changes and speed, the keyboard is supposed to be a much better predictor of keys. I'd really appreciate it if you
Pardon me for using this as a search for information, but it apparently made a much smaller smash in the gadget news sources, and implementations haven't come out yet.
I feel that it is much easier to type on keyboards that display the letter you are pressing as you press it. Also that the said letter is not put in until you lift your finger off of it. Like seen on the iPod and iPhone, and my current phone the LG Dare.
This is really good if you are working with a small space for the keyboard. If you are developing a keyboard I suggest using this method.
