 Programming › Javafx For Gui Developer by mimohmi(op): 2:30am On Sep 09, 2007 |
Hi all, just thought it right to introduce the new mind blowing tool from SUN microsystems. Been trying it out. For those people which feel that GUI programming is hard to grab this is an easy way out. Ok, The new JavaFx was introduced during the JavaOne conference. it is worth to mention that it is still under development but the massive support it gaining especially among the open source community is quite massive. Also, giving the fact it is declarative language. making it easy for people with scripting languages to master. Also, there are nice tutorials out there. Those with Java SE experience will also find it easy to use as it allows importation of java classes and methods. JavaFx has it own development environment but plug ins are available for major Java IDE. If your using netbeans 5.5 or 6, just go to the download center and install the JavaFx modules and examples. You can download the JavaFx developer environment http://download.java.net/general/openjfx/demos/javafxpad.jnlp Tutorials http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/scripting/javafxpart1/ https://openjfx.dev.java.net/Learning_More_About_JavaFX.html https://openjfx.dev.java.net/JavaFX_Programming_Language.html#basic_types |

Hey guys, this thread is and will ever remain hot. Been out of the ubuntu box. If anybody needs a copy just call or mail me to get it. I have two copies but will be giving out one. As an open source explorer, an digging out on solaris. Nice but not enough support like onther linux flavours. It's more of unix. Bye for now. |

| Career › Re: G.i.s Geographic Information Systems by mimohmi(m): 12:00pm On Jul 28, 2007 |
Hi All, What an interesting topic here. If I may add. Basically, GIS has to do with making real time Geographical Information available to the end user. It comprises of hardwares - computers, software applications- various options are available written in diff programming language and finally communication - can be satellite, VHF/MF/FM Radio Link or microwave links. The software aspect is what most users are familiar with. But the main backbone of any GIS system lies on the hardware and communication architecture. Also, depending on the user requirements, various GIS design can be used for weather analysis, traffic control, population density analysis, soil and vegetation analysis etc. For the diplay, mostly in used are raster maps(for land) or charts(for sea), these are scanned maps. which is updated from time to time. Most of this charts are imposed on radar systems but can also be used on simple desktops or laptops, with high memory. Presently am working on 2 systems, one for marine traffic control and the other for weather monitoring and sea state prediction for offshore platforms. As a system designer, I don't need to worry myself about how the information are used or processed. All I do is make the appropriate information available. You can take a look at this Norwegian GIS site http://www.navcom.no click on AIS Live link to get real time view of vessel (Ships) within the Norwegian Port entrance. |

| Computers › Re: Playing With Sun Solaris by mimohmi(op): 7:37pm On Jun 26, 2007 |
As a piece of advice, the solaris express version is most suited for desktop, cos of lots of available parkage. Unlike, solaris 10, which was designed with enterprise in mind. Since, I install my my solaris, I have been having problem getting a compatible sound driver. May be I should be thinking of migrating to express version. Ok, if anybody who has been able to install it, we can share our experiences like we did with Ubuntu on one thread and it was the best way I climb out ubuntu within a short time. Ciao |
| Computers › Re: Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(m): 7:24pm On Jun 26, 2007 |
@All Nice to see that this thread is still hot. Well, am off now with solaris. May be I should look at installing WinXP,Solaris,Redhat and Solaris on a single system. Afolabi, I hail o !!!!!!!! |

| Computers › Re: Playing With Sun Solaris by mimohmi(op): 5:15pm On Jun 09, 2007 |
@afolabi Hi, long time. Just to answer your question. No Solaris does not have live cd like ubuntu. You have to install it to feel it. It simple to install, boot from the cd and follow the instructions. You can choose the auto layout for to layout your partition for you. it is that easy, but you need to have enough ram space, I think 128 is recommended but I will advice min of 256 mb for better performance. |
| Computers › Re: Playing With Sun Solaris by mimohmi(op): 9:41pm On May 31, 2007 |
Ok, Sun is giving out opensolaris for free. It is the open version like some linux destros. It differ from Solaris 7,8 and 10. But, still close. If you must download any solaris, ensure you choose that version that is meant for your system. They come in different flavours, like 32 and 64 bits or whether it is a sparc mechine you want to install it on. The installation process is quite straight forward except for few points that must be looked at closely. Will highlight some of the points in my next post. If anybody is interested, I have Solaris 10 image, all you have to do is get 6 CDs and give a call. We can fix time and place to meet for the burning |

Hi All, Long time to all my fellow landers. Just wanted to build this thread to support Sun Solaris. A lot has been done on other linux destros. Thought it wiil be nice if we do same for solaris. Will be posting a lost by the weekend. Don't go away. Welcome to the world of SOLARIS |
| Programming › Re: Writing Java Classes, Using Case Studies by mimohmi(m): 10:42pm On Apr 15, 2007 |
@gbengaijot Never mind, sorry, I have been out of this forum for a while. Basically, in an OOP perspetive, classes are used to represent a unique object. Say you have a car, the car has attributes like colour, wheels, gear, seats etc so these attribute are represented as variables. Then the car does some actions like increase or decrease speed, stop or moving. The actions are represented by methods. So, attributes ------> variables (nouns) actions ---------------> methods (Verbs) Don't wory will work on this for you. Keep it up Thanks. |

@Skima Nice to hear from you. Have been very busy of late myself. Don't know why you haven't been able to get this stuff running. May be I have to make a note for you. Try using partition magic, so that you don't have to mess up your system each time you go stunting. Thanks. |
| Computers › Re: Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(m): 2:44pm On Feb 20, 2007 |
@Christino Whao, am back with my ubuntu, was able to connect to the net. I had to setup my browser to point to the LAN proxy address. Also setup the system proxy by editing my .bashrc file as root. Quite an experience. What is left is connecting to the LAN printer. Imagine, using Linux in mist of window users, well, that's the challenge. |
| Programming › Re: Java On Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(op): 10:58am On Feb 20, 2007 |
@babake81 Sorry for this late reply. To connect ubuntu to the net using CDMA require little configuration. If your system has a COM port, you are lucky, as in you don't have to buy a serial to usb converter. A lot has been said about this stuff. Pls try and follow this link. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-11508.96.html |

No prob. You can install both on your laptop. If your laptop has a single partition, you have to use partition manager 8.0, to resize your system without affecting your window partition. Welcome to the world of ubuntu. |

@Hi to All What an interesting twist, believe we are all learning. Nobody is a guru, but some people just had to start before others. So, let's keep it cool and stop attacking each other. We all can't be right and same time can't be wrong all the time. I don't believe in any knowledge being out of scope. It just shows that whatever level, we think we are, it can just be better. So make una take am easy. Please can you guys help me shed more light on this two words. Fine grained and coarse grained as it affects enterprise application especially with EJB and Persistent Entities. I am presently sweeting it out with SCBCD 5.0 beta. Thanks. |

@Christino Ma guy, thanks a multi million times times times. It will be crazy for me to allow you look for me. Pls if you don't mind, how can I get your phone no so, that I can call you, so that we can fix place n time for collection. Once more thanks a million. @adewaleafolabi Thinks am addicted to this thread. Can spend a day without taking a look at it. Man, thanks for the encouragement. I am just trying to hit Sun Business Component Developer 5.0 Beta exam, for now it been offer for free, but when released it going to cost btw $200 to $250. I enjoy beta exams, but the horror is that no materials tackling the exams as per guide. |
| Computers › Re: Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(m): 3:50am On Dec 03, 2006 |
@Christino Man, thanks for the effort, why don't you try reinstalling DAP. It might solve the problem. To Everyone, I am not going to be very active for a while, I have an exam that I want to write before the end of the month. But promise to always peep in once a while. @adewaleafolabi I have not been able to fix the problem, but I know it from my serial setting, cos when I used pppd to check it, it told me that my serial port was set to loop back, so what it does is using my system dns instead of my isp. Just like a kind of running the localhost dns ip, so my connection is just withing my system, kind of LAN. Hope to fix it after my exam. |

@adewaleafolabi Yap, neatbeans ide allow to do drag n drop your gui component, but you still have to code the events and logic. You can download it from this link http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index.php Walahi, that celtel connection messed up my starcomms connection both on my xp and linux. However, have been able to fix xp and still roughing it with linux. I have to learn how to configure multiple PPP connection on my linux. Have a wonderful day. @Christino E ya !, thanks for the effort, really appreciated. One love, one passion and many linux. |
