Would anyone be interested in a series of articles covering the development of a website, from start to finish?
It would include:
- Requirements gathering
- Analysis & Design
- Graphic Design
- Project Planning
- Front End & Back End development
- Testing & Stabilisation
- Launch
If yes, then are there any other sections in the life cycle of a web project you want covered?
It will be using the following tools and technologies:
- Microsoft Word and Visio
- ASP.NET
- XHTML & CSS
- XML & XSL
- JavaScript
- tSQL
and the site would involve:
- Content management
- Forums & Community
- Forms development
- Email services
- Repurposing content for different devices (e.g. to PDAs)
It is a pretty mammoth task and something I have been wanting to do for awhile. So before I dive in I wanted to see if anyone is actually interested here on CP, or whether I should just be writing it for myself and co-workers.
Also at what level do you want it pitched? Beginner, intermediate or advanced? And if anyone is interested in helping out with certain sections, just email me.
thanks

Guess it's a very good idea.
The level should be - i think - intermediate, and it could establish strong accents on:
- Requirements gathering
- Analysis & Design
- Project Planning
Wish you good luck!

Yes please.
I'd pretty much consider myself a beginner when it comes to web-site building but can bullshit my way through HTML based conversations.

Somewhere beyond the html stuff...

I'd be interested in seeing it done. I've done a few small sites; but nothing beyond master/detail type stuff.

On MSDN, look up "Reference Architecture for Commerce".
They have a series of "Articles" (really a book) on designing, testing etc a web site.

Yeah thanks. I have been through that awhile back. Problem is they are very much not up to date on things like CSS and XHTML (which I do want to cover as it is impotant.)
Also they can be a tad impractical at times and focus solely, obviously, on MS tech such as Commerce Server (which not everyone can get their paws on.)
But it is a good base to work from indeed

Sounds great Paul! It wasn't clear to me though whether you're creating a new community site, or developing articles for posting here, or somewhere...

I have to a web search for a program for a school web search project that matches the question below.Can anybody give me a program or tell me where I can get one that matches this question in C not C++ please.
If so e-mail is speedster264@hotmail.com.
Many thanks.
Here Is question.
A small shopkeeper uses a simple computer system to keep an up to date inventory of all products stocked. Every week the shopkeeper updates the stock file with a series of stock amendments, stored on another file. The format of both TEXT FILES is shown below, with each record stored in ascending order of product code, and each field being separated by a comma. Both files tenninate with a special "sentinel" product code of 9999.
Stock File.
Product Code 4 digits
Quantity 4 digits (in the range 1000 to 9999)
Buying Price 4 digits
Sale Price 4 digits
Stock Amendments File.
Product Code 4 digits
Amendment Type 1 character 'I' for an issue from stock.
'R' for a receipt into stock.
'B' for an amendment to the buying price.
'S' for an amendment to the sale price.
'D' for a deletion of the stock item.
Value 4 digits
NOTE
The data item "Value" will be zero in the case of a stock item deletion.
Find a program that will update the existing stock file, creating a new stock file, in the
same order as the original. It is possible that a stock item will have one, more than one,
or no transactions during a week. After the update of a master record, any stock item
that is outside the given range should also have the record written to a "query file".
You can assume that there are no transactions in the stock amendments file that do not
have matching product codes in the stock file.

do you think we're here to do your homework ?

Not asking for you to do it ,,,just need a program that answers it or as close to answer as possible.
|

|

If you replace "Find a program" with "Write a program", it looks awfully like a Programming 101 homework question.

how can i use the windows installer SDK?, i would like an article about it, i have read some on msdn but i cant understand it well.
|
|

Hmm, well it will be nice. But if you want a small hint, use Installer "msi"s like a usual databases. You can run SQL statements against them, and the structure is just tables which holds all information. You can even create your installer manually, without using tools like InstallShield, although they are making life easy

void Connect(const VARIANT& RemoteHost, const VARIANT& RemotePort);
i dont know how to pass these VARIANT parameters.if someone have already done so plz send me piece of code.thanx

i know this might be a grim thought but
take the plunge
use the winsock stuff in mfc
CSocket etc
its easier in the long run
trust me

Hello everybody - how about someone attempt a treeview/listview hybrid control. Although what I notice is that every control that attempts this seems to create these controls from scratch. I'm sure theres gotta be an easier way to use Microsoft's controls and just ?joining? them together somehow. Am I wrong? Comments?

Sorry everybody - forgot to put in the most important part... a treeview/listview control in c# (or hey even better in VB.NET for all us ignoramuses)

I have some code laying around and a little bit of free time so would anyone be interested in the following:
Connection sharing using DCOM (I'd have to make some modifications to make it more generic)
XML document class (using MSXML 3)
Web based ToDo List with an Active Desktop interface
ISAPI Extention for uploading or downloading files
Let me know what you think of each one.
Like it or not, I'm right.
