I am going to start my Software Engineering course this semester. So I need a good project plan for it. Will have 3-4 months to complete the project. I am planning to develope a Remote Desktop Client or an Email client like gmail or yahoo. If anybody has any ideas please let me know. Assuming you have no specific requirements, I would advise you to: pick something that interest you that has a core

I have been asked to automate a particular task at work today which takes up a lot of our time! The following is what needs to be done and I would appreciate any help on how I can do this (Implementation Advice) within the realms of my knowledge, if possible. Problem I have a PowerPoint document (.ppt). I would like to extract text from there (the text is in bullet point format). I would like to insert these bullets points into an Excel sheet, each bullet point should be a row. I would also like to put in the adjacent column the page this bullet point text was taken from. So, basically:

I have three projects (WCF projects, not clients), I have one database for all, now how will I use EF with this? should I make a fourth project which will have the db context and the entities and then add a reference to it in all three projects? or should I just have a separate context for each project and just add the tables i need for each project? some of the table are really used everywhere. so what's the best solution for this? Another question: should I expose the EF db context in the separate project so other projects can access it? something like: MySeparateProject myPr = new

When dealing with MySQL, I typically use the BOOLEAN type, which is equivalent to TINYINT(1), or 1/0 In most languages I work with, true/false is preferred When displaying forms, sometimes "Yes / No" makes more sense enum Bool { True, False, FileNotFound }; http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/What_Is_Truth_0x3f_.aspx In code: true/false. In the UI: Yes/No or OK/Cancel true and false makes a lot more sense to me, in code - partly through familiarity, I'm sure. I suspect I'd get used to yes and no pretty quickly. 1 and 0 really doesn't work for me though. Consider the expression age == 5 It's a test

This post is a follow-up of this answered question: Best method for storing a list of user IDs . I took cletus and Mehrdad Afshari's epic advice of using a normalized database approach. Are the following tables properly set up for proper optimization? I'm kind of new to MySQL efficiency, so I want to make sure this is effective. Also, when it comes to finding the average rating for a game and the total number of votes should I use the following two queries, respectively? SELECT avg(vote) FROM votes WHERE uid = $uid AND gid = $gid; SELECT count(uid) FROM votes WHERE uid = $uid AND gid = $gid;

I'm midway through programming a Java program, and I'm at the stage where I'm debugging far more concurrency issues than I'd like to be dealing with. I have to ask: how do you deal with concurrency issues when setting out your program mentally? In my case, it's for a relatively simple game, yet issues with threads keep popping up - any quick-fix almost certainly leads to a new issue. Speaking in very general terms, what techniques should I use when deciding how my application should 'flow' with out all my threads getting in a knot? Concurrency boils down to managing shared state.
